Chapter 657 Is Cecily Darian's wife?
Giselle glanced up and locked eyes with Darian.
He didn't budge, but his intense stare was hard to miss.
For a second, Giselle's breath hitched as she saw Darian. Darian stood tall, exuding authority without a hint of anger. His face was striking, and he had this noble, calm vibe.
She felt like she’d seen him before but couldn’t place where. But she could tell Darian was no ordinary guy.
Darian was in a rush to find Cecily. His cold eyes lingered on Giselle for a moment before he said, "If you can't see, at least be smart about it."
Did he just call her blind and stupid?
Giselle, who had been spoiled her whole life, had never been spoken to so harshly.
"Don't you think you're being a bit much? Talking to a lady like that is really rude." Giselle lifted her chin, expecting an apology.
Darian didn't want to make a big deal out of the bump, but Giselle's persistence was getting on his nerves.
Not wanting to waste more time, he brushed past her.
Giselle noticed her phone still on the ground and blocked Darian, chattering non-stop.
Being ignored repeatedly was infuriating. She had never been treated like this. Determined, she grabbed his arm, "Hold on a second!"
Darian's gaze turned icy.
A few men stepped out of the nearby elevator. Seeing Darian, they greeted him, "Mr. Fitzgerald." Noticing Giselle holding his arm, they smiled, "Is this your wife? The private room is ready, let's go."
Giselle was momentarily stunned.
Fitzgerald?
There weren't many Fitzgeralds around, and the only one she knew with such a presence was Darian, the head of the Fitzgerald family of Silver Frost Capital.
Could he be Darian?
Giselle was frozen in place.
"Darian, I've been waiting for you." Cecily walked over. Seeing the group and Giselle holding Darian's arm, Cecily raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Darian immediately pulled his arm back.
Hearing Cecily call him Darian, Giselle's jaw dropped. He really was Darian!
Had she just offended him?
Giselle felt a wave of regret.
She had thought he was just some high-society guy from Detroit, but he turned out to be Darian, the head of the Fitzgerald family of Silver Frost Capital.
Shocked, Giselle quickly walked over to Cecily and grabbed her arm, "Cecily, do you know who he is? How can you call him by his first name?"
Giselle was alarmed.
She knew what kind of person Darian was. Looking at the people around him, all of whom were Detroit's elite, they addressed Darian with utmost respect.
Cecily just called Darian by his name. Did she really think being the eldest daughter of the Bennett family made her so great?
"Is there something wrong with that?" Cecily turned to look at her.
"Of course there is. It's very impolite to call someone by their first name," Giselle said.
"Polite?" Cecily glanced at Darian.
She had been too polite to Darian lately.
He actually dared to be here with another woman behind her back.
Giselle turned back to meet Darian's cold eyes and suddenly felt a bit breathless.
Darian was angry.
She quickly pulled Cecily forward, "Mr. Fitzgerald, Cecily didn't know your identity and called you by your first name. I apologize on her behalf. Also, I was too harsh earlier, and I apologize to you as well."
The atmosphere remained tense.
Darian's gaze was fixed on Cecily, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.
Giselle didn't dare to look Darian in the eye, only feeling his oppressive gaze on them. She bit her lip and continued with difficulty, "Mr. Fitzgerald, please don't be angry. Cecily, apologize to Mr. Fitzgerald."
"Do I need to apologize to him?" Cecily glared at Darian.
"No need," Darian said in a low voice.
Giselle frowned slightly, feeling that Darian's tone towards Cecily was somewhat gentle.
"Alright, make sure to explain this to me later," Cecily said slowly and deliberately.
Darian pressed his lips tightly together, his eyes full of grievance.
Giselle was confused, "Cecily, you were just being impolite. Mr. Fitzgerald said that because he's magnanimous. How can you still be so arrogant? Cecily, this is outside, not at home. You can't act like this."
Seeing Giselle continue to speak, Cecily found it amusing. It seemed she really didn't know the relationship between her and Darian.
She stepped forward and naturally took Darian's arm, "Alright, I'll be more polite next time. Honey, is that okay?"
Giselle frowned and froze, not daring to move.
What had she just heard?
Darian turned with Cecily and introduced her to the people who had come up to greet him, "This is my wife, Cecily."
The few people who had come up immediately realized they had mistaken Giselle for Darian's wife earlier and apologized, "Sorry, we didn't recognize you earlier."
Cecily responded politely with a smile, "It's okay."
They exchanged a few polite words, while Giselle stood there, her face looking grim.
Cecily was Darian's wife?
Why hadn't anyone told her that Cecily was Darian's wife!
The last time she saw Cecily, who was blind, at the Bennett family, she had asked Hunter about Cecily. Hunter had only said that Cecily was divorced, had two children, so she probably couldn't stay at Silver Frost Capital and had returned to the Bennett family.
At that time, she hadn't paid any attention to the blind Cecily, so she hadn't asked further.
This scene shocked her for several seconds.
