Chapter 163 The Hidden Marriage Fact
Maggie spoke with a hint of shyness, "Everything you just mentioned, my beloved possesses them all." Emily's heart fluttered with excitement upon hearing this. "Oh, Maggie, you are so lucky! Your beloved sounds remarkable!" Emily exclaimed, clutching Maggie's arm. "You must be overjoyed. Tell me, how does it feel to touch his well-defined abs?" Maggie's laughter filled the room. "Emily, you have such a wicked mind, don't look at me with those eyes." Emily's tastes, she noted, were strikingly similar to those of Dulcinea. "In this day and age, most men are too effeminate, with slender waists, lacking strength, and it's rare to find men with sturdy, robust figures," Emily lamented, "I still prefer the burly and strong men."Maggie's laughter echoed once more. "Emily, you are so funny."
"I'm being honest, I don't care for those frail men," Emily persisted, "Maggie, is your sex life with your beloved great? I couldn't help but notice this morning that your walk seemed a bit off."Maggie was momentarily taken aback. She realized Emily's inquiries were rather direct. Clearing her throat awkwardly, Maggie deflected, "You still need to change into your dress, hurry up, or you'll be late."Indeed, time was of the essence. Emily hastily slipped into her dress and joined Maggie on their way to the party. Maggie, choosing not to change, wore a white dress that was perfectly suitable for the occasion. Throughout their journey, Emily continued to probe into Maggie's marital life, leaving Maggie feeling slightly uncomfortable. Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Fiorello had just wrapped up his business and was now seated in his Rolls-Royce, also en route to the party. The reception was hosted by the Hars Group, and Fiorello felt obliged to make an appearance. When his company, Visionary Futures Group, had faced difficulties in the past, the Hars Group had extended a helping hand. They soon arrived at the grand hotel where the party was being held. The magnificent entrance, with its eight towering marble columns, was a sight to behold. The music fountain pool at the entrance added to the spectacle, with a dozen doormen stationed at the entrance. As Fiorello's car pulled up, Bart Bolton, the head of the hosting Hars Group, personally came out to greet him. Fiorello emerged from the car, his expression stoic, radiating an aura of authority. His well-tailored dark suit accentuated his tall and robust figure. His handsome features were marked by an air of indifference. Bart extended his hand warmly. "Mr. Flores, we're glad you could make it."Fiorello shook hands with Bart. "Mr. Bolton, a pleasure.""Please, come inside."Fiorello and Bart led the way, with a dozen industry elites trailing behind them. The party was filled with handsome gentlemen and beautiful ladies, quietly toasting each other. Even their conversations were hushed, befitting the high-end nature of the party. As soon as Fiorello made his entrance, the party hall fell silent. All eyes turned towards him. Whether they knew Fiorello personally or not, everyone greeted him, hoping to establish a connection. This was the nature of business networking. Almost all the men who attended the party brought female companions, as was customary. But Fiorello was known to always attend alone, without a female companion by his side. Bart from Hars Group joked, "Mr. Flores, when will we see a lady accompanying you?"Bart, who was over fifty, always brought a female companion to formal occasions. A beautiful woman was seen as a status symbol in business networking. Fiorello, holding a glass of red wine, one hand in his trouser pocket, responded with a hint of a smile, "Mr. Bolton, you've developed a knack for teasing."Bart laughed, "Mr. Flores, you are young and promising. If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely be more charming than I am now."Fiorello raised his glass slightly. "Mr. Bolton, I hope you always maintain such a strong physique."Bart burst into laughter at this, then lowered his voice. "My eldest daughter returned from studying abroad, she has always admired you. She will also be attending the party today, shall I introduce you to her?"Fiorello replied calmly, "Mr. Bolton, that would put me in an awkward position. My beloved would be jealous."Bart was puzzled. "Mr. Flores, do you have a girlfriend?"Fiorello displayed the wedding ring on his finger, correcting him, "I am married."Upon hearing his words, everyone present was shocked.
