Chapter 199 Something Big Happened and Cecily was Panicked
Ophelia took a deep breath. "Mom, let them come in and help me with my makeup. Even if Darian doesn't show up in the end, I still want to look beautiful and not be surpassed by that bitch Cecily."
"That's right. My daughter will be the most beautiful today."
Tabitha patted Ophelia's shoulder with satisfaction.
Ophelia smiled gently, looking at herself in the mirror with her delicate face.
She didn't care how she would marry Darian.
As long as she could marry Darian, that would be enough.
She believed that love would grow over time and Darian would see her goodness.
And that bitch Cecily...
Ophelia's face turned grim at the thought of Cecily.
She would get rid of that bitch sooner or later. She had been too arrogant for too long.
...
Cecily and Blaise stood in the side hall on the upper floor of the banquet hall, looking down.
The guests below had already arrived one after another, but for now, no one noticed that they were holding two different invitation letters.
Why were all the guests able to attend both the birthday banquet and the engagement ceremony? Of course, it was intentionally arranged by Ophelia.
And at this moment, Darian was sitting in the conference room of the North Zand branch.
The mobile phone that Darian had placed upside down on the table vibrated.
He glanced at the phone screen and suddenly furrowed his brow, his face darkened.
The director sitting below was reporting on the work, and Darian reached out to pick up the phone.
With a swipe, he stood up.
The director who was reporting was startled and didn't know what to do, his voice abruptly stopping. The few people looked at each other. The reporting director was still worried about whether he had said something wrong.
They could all tell that the boss was in a particularly bad mood, and the cold aura emanating from him had already made them extremely cautious, not daring to make any mistakes.
The man stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and dialed a number with his phone.
The other party answered quickly.
"Today is her birthday?"
The icy tone sent shivers down Larkin's spine at Silver Frost Capital.
Larkin hurriedly replied, "Yes, boss. Today is Miss Cecily's birthday, and she held a birthday banquet."
Darian's grip on the phone tightened.
The expression in his eyes dimmed.
He was indeed an incompetent husband.
Cecily had been his wife for three years, and he didn't even know her birthday.
She didn't tell him, and the two little ones didn't tell him either, which meant they didn't want him to attend.
Darian's expression became even more bitter.
"I understand."
Larkin fell silent for a moment, and just as Darian was about to hang up, he quickly said, "Mr. Fitzgerald."
"Is there something else?"
"Well, there is one more thing, Mr. Fitzgerald. Miss Cecily's banquet hall clashes with the one Miss Ophelia selected."
Larkin had just found out about this.
He didn't expect such a thing to happen, but upon investigation, it turned out that Ophelia deliberately booked that hall after Cecily had already booked it.
The intention behind this was obvious.
When both parties clash in the banquet hall, one of them naturally has to leave, and the one who leaves unprepared will inevitably make a fool of themselves.
Upon hearing this, Darian furrowed his brow, which meant that the engagement banquet and the birthday banquet were both held in the same hall.
"Whose plan was this?"
"Miss Ophelia's."
A glint of coldness flashed in Darian's eyes.
Ophelia had the backing of Owen, so it was inevitable that Cecily would be the one embarrassed tonight.
Darian coldly hung up the phone.
His expression became even colder, squinting his eyes, thinking about something unknown.
Everyone in the meeting room sat upright, trembling with fear. They only felt the oppressive atmosphere in the meeting room suffocating.
Today was the engagement banquet of the big boss, and it was apparent why he was there.
But now they didn't know why he was angry.
Everyone tried to hold their breath and lower their presence as much as possible.
Darian coldly stared outside the window, his handsome and unparalleled face icy.
No one knew that at this moment, he was thinking about the crazy woman at Silver Frost Capital, who often angered him.
Would she embarrass herself tonight?
Did it have anything to do with him?
Why would he worry about her?
If she didn't want to have any relationship with him, if she wanted to take the children and leave, then he could leave Silver Frost Capital and give her the opportunity.
If she didn't want to see him, then he could leave and let her leave him out of sight and out of mind.
Look, he forced himself to fulfill her wishes.
He also forced himself not to think about her.
Unfortunately, Darian had been here for two days.
His emotions became increasingly agitated, and his sleep disorder returned to its previous state.
The woman's face appeared in his mind all the time. He didn't want to think about her, but he couldn't control it.
However, as soon as he thought of her, the image of that night followed.
He hated seeing her with other men.
The more he thought, the more anger piled up, and uncontrollable anger surged from the bottom of his heart.
However, today was her birthday, and it would be pitiful for her to embarrass herself on her birthday.
So why not go and see her in that pitiful state...
He found a quite reasonable excuse for himself.
Darian turned around and walked out.
...
The number of guests in the banquet hall has become more and more numerous. In this largest and most luxurious banquet hall, pink and white roses covered both the center and the surroundings. The roses were exquisite, their fragrance wafting through the air, making the atmosphere dreamlike.
Various pastries, fruits, and expensive red wine were placed on the long tables on both sides.
Every aspect of the banquet hall was impeccable.
It could be seen that the person who organized this event put a lot of effort into it.
Cecily's assistant, Gavin, and another colleague couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Ms. Cecily's birthday banquet is so luxurious. I thought it would just be a regular private room. No wonder Miss Aurelie reminded us to dress formally."
"Yes, I didn't expect it either. It's really like a dream."
Someone nearby frowned upon hearing this, realizing that something was amiss, and went over to ask, "Are you also here to attend the engagement ceremony?"
Gavin frowned, "Engagement banquet? No, we are here to attend Ms. Cecily's birthday banquet."
The two ladies in high-end dresses listened to them and immediately said, "You must have entered the wrong hall. This is clearly Mr. Fitzgerald and Miss Ophelia's engagement banquet, not a birthday banquet."
"Yeah, you must have entered the wrong banquet hall."
Upon hearing their confident remarks, Gavin suddenly began to doubt himself.
However, looking around and seeing many colleagues and some Star Rise Group partners inside the banquet hall, it was clear that everyone couldn't have entered the wrong place.
"It's you who entered the wrong banquet hall. We are certain that Ms. Cecily's birthday banquet is being held here."
Gavin asserted, "Look, many of our colleagues are here. It's impossible that all of us made the same mistake together."
It was normal for one or two people to make a mistake, but for everyone to make the same mistake, that was impossible.
"What? So what about us? We didn't enter the wrong place either. The invitation clearly stated that the banquet hall is here."
"How is that possible?"
Both sides were immersed in confusion.
Meanwhile, in the lounge, Aurelie pushed open the door in a hurry.
"Cecily."
Cecily had just changed into her gown and, seeing Aurelie so anxious, asked in confusion, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Something happened, something big."
Cecily didn't see Rowan, who had gone out with Aurelie.
Thinking that Rowan was in trouble, Cecily immediately panicked.
