Chapter 284 Brady's Mom Was a Big Star, Rumored to Return by Year-End
Violet was stunned to hear that Quentin had actually gone around the entire city to find her. She had no idea about this and immediately felt apologetic. "Next time Quentin comes to see me, I'll make sure to thank him."
"It's no big deal," Emily said, patting her shoulder. "Let's eat first. I have to attend an annoying business cocktail party this afternoon."
"A business cocktail party?" Violet asked curiously.
"It's an event organized by a high-society lady, inviting some wealthy second-generation elites in Elysium to mingle," Emily explained, feeling a headache just thinking about it. She really disliked these 'dating-like' cocktail parties.
"Just go and have some fun," Violet said understandingly, smiling as she sat down at the dining table with Hellen and the others. "You might meet some young talents and make some connections."
Violet had heard about these kinds of parties before when she was with the Devereux family. They were exclusive to the upper class and served as a means of socializing.
Emily, however, had no interest. She actually had a crush on someone—a legitimate university professor, very young, around Brady's age, 28 years old. Though not as wealthy, he came from a scholarly background. Emily liked men with a literary charm. He was elegant, handsome, and talented.
Emily felt disgusted by the greasy and promiscuous behavior of the wealthy second-generation individuals in their social circle. She preferred clean and decent men. "Forget it. It's not interesting," she said.
"Alright," Violet replied, understanding. Since Emily wasn't interested, she naturally wouldn't push her. "Let's eat first."
Emily nodded and sat down to start eating with them.
After a while, Emily glanced at Violet, who was feeding the two babies, and suddenly had an idea. "Violet, why don't you come to the cocktail party with me later?"
"Me?" Violet paused, looking surprised at Emily before quickly refusing. "I'm no longer an upper-class lady. What would I do there?"
She felt that going would only embarrass Emily and had no intention of attending.
"It's fine. I'll be with you. If anyone dares to say anything bad about you, I'll deal with them!" Emily said, sipping some soup. "Do you know who used to host these upper-class gatherings?"
Violet shook her head. She had never attended such gatherings.
Even when she had attended upper-class gatherings as a child, it was when her mother was still alive and before Gerry had divorced her. Those were gatherings of elders. After Eileen married into the Devereux family, Violet never went again.
"Brady's mom, Ava Hall," Emily said, raising her eyebrows. The stunning and noble face of Ava flashed in her mind. "But she's currently abroad with Mr. Hall, expanding the European market. She hasn't returned yet. If she comes back, she will definitely be the leading lady in the upper-class social circle."
When Emily mentioned Brady and Ava, Violet pursed her lips slightly. These people had nothing to do with her, so she continued feeding the babies.
"Ava Hall is a big star in the circle, even won an award at the film festival. She took a year off two years ago to accompany Mr. Hall to Europe. It's said she'll be back by the end of the year and then resume filming," Emily shared the news she had heard from the circle.
Violet listened but didn't take it to heart. These people were too far removed from her life. She smiled and said, "They have nothing to do with me. You should focus on picking a pretty dress for the cocktail party."
"Right, what was I thinking?" Emily immediately patted her head and then pleaded, "Please come with me? Otherwise, I'll be so bored alone. Is that okay, darling?"
Emily genuinely wanted Violet to accompany her. She had no interest in those people in the circle and just wanted to have fun with Violet.
Unable to resist Emily's coaxing, Violet hesitated for a moment and then nodded helplessly. "Alright, I'll go with you."
Seeing Violet agree, Emily immediately beamed with happiness. Now she wouldn't be bored at the cocktail party.
