Chapter 301 The Show Begins
Niamh hid behind a pillar, peeking out to see Delaney Prescott, Wade's eldest daughter, talking to a server and handing over a package of medicine.
As a member of the elite circle, Niamh immediately knew what was going on.
Delaney was going to harm someone.
She guessed that the medicine was a love potion.
Niamh was curious about who Delaney was targeting.
'There was quite a lively scene to behold at this birthday party' She thought.
Niamh returned to the banquet and soon spotted Delaney at the party.
Niamh smiled at Delaney. She liked people who made trouble and wanted to see how big the conflict Delaney could create.
Delaney gave Niamh a cold look before turning to chat with her friends, as she also looked down on Niamh despite Niamh being the heiress of Parks Corporation.
Delaney, who grew up as a pampered heiress in her family, despised Niamh for being recognized as the heir midway.
Delaney couldn't stand her at all as Niamh was rude and very arrogant.
Seeing Delaney look down on herself like that, Niamh felt a surge of anger in her heart, especially upset.
At that moment, Niamh saw the waiter who had just spoken to Delaney carrying a glass of red wine toward Ophelia.
Niamh's excitement surged again in her heart. 'Could it be that Delaney's target is Ophelia?' She pondered.
Niamh walked quickly over, wanting to join in the fun.
Ophelia, Rhodes, and Rhodes's friends were chatting. The girls naturally talked about some luxury goods. As Rhodes had returned from studying abroad, her friends were all high-achieving students from top universities with wealthy backgrounds.
As they were all proficient in several foreign languages, they naturally use French in their conversations.
Ophelia has never been to France, but she is also fluent in French. During her school days, she excelled in her studies and learned English, French, and Spanish by herself.
Ophelia's fluent and pure French amazed Rhodes and the others. Rhodes asked, "Ophelia, have you ever been to France? Your French is so impeccable, exuding nobility, like a descendant of the French royal family. It's so pleasant to listen to."
After they became familiar with each other, Rhodes also started calling Ophelia by her name directly.
Rhodes's foreign language were all learned through paid lessons, but she could only speak, her pronunciation still not precise enough.
Ophelia smiled and said, "I haven't been there. I self-taught during college."
"You're so good," Rhodes exclaimed admiringly. "CEO Abbott's has a great eye for talent. I would have thought you were actually a royal descendant if you didn't say that. I used to know a friend in France who bore some resemblance to you, especially your eyes, so gentle and charming."
France was known as the city of romance, where even the descendants of royalty had romance woven throughout their lives.
The waiter brought over the drinks, and a glass of red wine was placed in front of Rhodes. "Miss Rhodes, here is the wine you requested."
The waiter also served the rest of the guests red wine.
In front of Ophelia was a glass of juice; she couldn't drink alcohol.
Ophelia picked up the juice and smiled, saying, "I have never been to France; maybe it's just some resemblance in appearance."
Rhodes looked at Ophelia with some admiration. She had received an education abroad and had a romantic streak in her. "Ophelia, can you talk about how you fell in love with CEO Abbott's? It must have been very romantic."
"Yes, we also want to know," Rhodes' friends said.
Girls all liked gossip.
The waiter stood by Rhodes, who glanced at him and said, "You can go and attend to your other tasks."
The waiter looked a bit off, staring at the red wine in front of Rhodes, saying, "Rhodes, this bottle of wine has been opened. If it sits too long, the taste will deteriorate."
The waiter's reminder made Ophelia glance at him subconsciously. A server wouldn't remind or interrupt the host's affairs as he should just do his job.
Niamh walked over at that moment and forcefully joined in, asking, "Rhodes, what are you guys talking about? Hello, everyone, I'm Niamh from Parks Corporation."
When Niamh spoke, she glanced at the red wine in front of Rhodes, and then she understood that Delaney wanted to harm Rhodes.
Rhodes and Delaney conflicted with each other.
On such an important occasion, if Rhodes had any issues, it would really be a disaster.
This action was really ruthless.
Delaney was also quite a tough character, and Rhodes, who just returned from the United States, really wasn't a match for her.
Today was Rhodes's birthday. She, although just returned to the country and unfamiliar with Niamh, still took Niamh as a guest, so she smiled and said in French, "Please have a seat; let's chat casually."
Rhodes was accustomed to speaking French, which puzzled Niamh.
Rhodes's friend joked, teasing, "Niamh, Rhodes was speaking French. Weren't you a high achiever, having studied abroad in France? How come you couldn't understand?"
Most people here knew that Niamh's graduation certificates were all bought.
