Chapter 985 Birthday Banquet
Adrian cooed, "You're jealous of this too? I just see Wendy as an older sister, nothing more. She wants to direct and invest in a show, and she asked me to invest a bit."
"You see her as a sister, but Wendy doesn't think the same way." Natalie, being a woman, naturally understood a Wendy's mind. The more Wendy appeared dignified and indifferent, the more she desired.
"So, are you going to invest?" Natalie asked.
"I'll listen to you." Adrian grabbed Natalie's finger that was resting on his nose. "All my money is yours."
"All mine? Then I say no."
"Alright." Adrian said.
Wendy held her phone as she raised her hand to rub her temples.
Mira looked at her. "So, did Mr. Howard agree?"
"He didn't give me a definite answer." Wendy bit her red lip, clearly hearing a woman's voice next to him. "Adrian broke off his engagement with Alice before. Does he have another woman now? After all, he's so outstanding."
"Ms. Lewis, you're outstanding too." Having been with Wendy for so many years, Mira understood Wendy's admiration for Adrian.
But Wendy was different from other socialites. She wouldn't excessively demand what she wanted because she didn't like the feeling of rejection. She couldn't accept that kind of humiliation, and even couldn't accept her feelings being seen through.
Wendy sighed. "Sometimes I really envy Alice. With her family background, Adrian chose her."
Mira said, "So what if he chose her? Didn't he break off the engagement with her now?"
"But she could stay by Adrian's side as his future wife. That's such happiness. Being dumped is Alice's incompetence! With her background, how could she be worthy of someone as noble as Adrian?" Wendy said.
The Cullen Mansion.
Alice had put in a lot of effort to ease the relationship between Avery and Curtis.
Avery was dressed elegantly tonight, in a beige suit, with a pearl necklace around her neck, and her hair neatly up. She maintained herself well, looking like she was in her late thirties, full-faced.
Alice was also meticulously dressed tonight and had prepared a gift. "Mom, you once told me that a woman should understand a man. Just like Dad, who is so busy with work, carrying the whole company on his shoulders. Maybe his female secretary took advantage of that, but we can handle it. After all, you are the legitimate wife. I'll deal with that secretary. I just hope you and Dad don't fight and that we can resume the harmony of our family."
Avery didn't expect Alice to be so sensible.
Seeing once arrogant and domineering Alice was now considerate and gentle, Avery nodded, "I understand."
This time, for Curtis’s birthday, there was no party and not many people were invited, just a few close friends and some family members.
The location was on the 3rd floor of The Opulent Palate, a Vistalia-style restaurant.
The private room was 300 square feet, with nice decor inside.
The furniture was made of high-end mahogany and walnut.
