Chapter 53

The small platinum object hit Dominic's handsome face and fell onto the carpet. He was speechless as Ava turned around and left.

The secretary beside them was shocked beyond belief, wondering if Ava had just used a condom to hit their CEO's face? How bold! No woman had ever dared to do such a thing to their CEO before. This was definitely a first in history!

Suddenly, an icy gaze swept across his face. The secretary turned his head and saw that their CEO had given him a glance.

He immediately broke out in a cold sweat. It didn't seem appropriate for him to say anything at this moment, so he hesitated before saying, "CEO, should I leave?"

"Get lost!"

...

Ava walked down the street while turning on her phone. Kylie had called her several times already, urging her to come back home for the birthday party and witness her shining moment.

Ava tugged at her phone but still couldn't understand why Dominic slept with her last night. Was it just to humiliate her? But didn't he like Kylie? Why would he resort to such means of humiliation?

She shook off these doubts and took a taxi back to the Bennett family mansion.

The place was decorated with lights everywhere as Mr. Bennett basked in glory, surrounded by some executives who said things like, "Mr. Bennett, we heard your youngest daughter is dating a mysterious billionaire who gave her the Star of God right away; we are all envious."

"Mr. Bennett, how come your son-in-law hasn't arrived yet? We all want to meet him."

Mrs. Bennett and Kylie were also surrounded by socialites who admired Kylie's necklace made of the Star of God under the dazzling lights.

"Woah! Is this really the Star of God? So beautiful!"

"Kylie, don't forget about us when you start dating rich boyfriends. Let's have afternoon tea and spa together tomorrow."

Kylie enjoyed all of this immensely, especially when she saw Ava arrive.

Mrs. Bennett walked up to Ava with a displeased expression on her face. "Ava, why did you come? Didn't I tell you not to show your face around here? Do you want everyone to know that we have a clownish daughter from the countryside?"

"It was me who asked Ava to come," Kylie said as she wiggled over. "I wanted her to see how I stand by Dominic's side. Don't be too envious."

Ava remained silent with an indifferent expression.

Mr. Bennett then arrived and asked Kylie if she had called Mr. Harrington yet, since the party had already started for so long and everyone was getting anxious about his absence.

"Dad, I just tried calling him, but it didn't go through. He must be busy in South City; let me try again." Kylie dialed Dominic's number once more.

Ava stood aside, feeling that if Kylie knew what happened between her and Dominic earlier, that instead of being busy, he was actually sleeping with her in bed, she would probably go crazy with anger.

The phone still couldn't get through after several attempts. Kylie began feeling uneasy - could it be that Dominic wasn't coming today?

The Bennett family had made such a big fuss about this party; how would they end things if he didn't show up?

Suddenly, there was commotion outside as someone shouted excitedly, "He's here! Your rich boyfriend is here!"

Kylie's eyes lit up - Dominic had finally arrived!
