“Laurel, I thought you don’t like clubs,” Bruno said.
Laurel smiled and said, “I’ve never been to one and want to have a taste before my wedding.”
Bruno said, “I will go with you.” He seemed like a tender and sweet lover.
Shelley found it quite disgusting.
She turned to Hayden and Erik, “Let’s go to Acme Club. It’s your place.”
“OK.” Hayden looked indifferent.
Shelley looked at Erik.
“I’ll go with Hayden.”
Shelley said, “People may think you guys are a couple.” She was a big mouth.
Erik said, “I am straight.”
Shelley laughed, “So you mean Hayden is your girl.”
Hayden glared at her.
He didn’t bother to argue.
But where there was Shelley, there was fun.
“Avril and Gemma, come with us.” Shelley looked casual.
Chapter 14 Not a True Mamage
Laurel believed it proper to let Shelley run this party.
The woman was good at running a party.
Avril and Gemma looked at each other.
Gemma said, “I should ask my father first. He is strict.”
Gemma was pretending to be a good girl.
Shelley was disgusted.
She knew Gemma was pretending.

Gemma would try to seduce every man in the world. She was more disgusting than Nellie.
At least, Nellie liked only one man, Nathan.
“Let Gemma decide. If she goes, I go too,” Avril said.
People would think they were close.
“So ask your parents. Ask Seth if he wants to come,” Shelley said.
“OK.”
Gemma went with Avril.
Gemma would come. Everybody knew that.
That was true.

Nathan went to them with a glass in his hand.
And he found it was a crowd.
“Yes?” Nathan asked.
“We are going to a club. Come with us,” Laurel said.
Nathan looked at Shelley.
She was holding Paul’s arm and didn’t see him.
Laurel said, “We are all going. You just came back to the country and should meet more people in
Rosegrad City.”
“Sure.” Nathan agreed.
Nathan was easygoing.

Nathan was a good man.
She learned it from the last cruel life.
Why would Shelley give up?
“We are allowed to go. I asked my father.” Gemma was back, and she said in a low voice, “Seth would
not come. He has something else to do.”
“Well, let’s go then.” Shelley began to play her part. “Erik, let the club save us a nice room.”
“OK,” Erik said.
They seemed close.

She was not a poor singer.
And her singing could make the party alive.
When people came in, they would be influenced by her passion and start to have fun.
Many of the people there were strangers.
Shelley finished a song.
Since everyone was there, she asked them to have a toast,
“Let’s enjoy ourselves! Being young is cool!”
Laurel smiled.
True.
Being young was always cool.

They were all happy.
Shelley went to choose a couple of songs.
Erik went with her.
They argued with each other. “Erik, you are always here. Your should let others choose the music.”
“No. You are always here, too,” Erik retorted.
“It’s your place. You should be a good host,” Shelley said.
“But you are running the party. You are the host,” Erik said.
“So being a gentleman doesn’t mean anything to you?”
“I am a gentleman when I am with Hayden,” Erik said.
“Aha! You guys are a couple. I knew that!”
Erik was tired of arguing and said, “Fine. Let’s sing together.”
“Good. Which song?” Shelley asked.
“The Lovers on the Island.”
Shelley was a bit shocked. “Do you have a crush on me?”

“Really?” Shelley said, “I have a man. Don’t have a crush on me.”
Erik smiled.
He looked at Nathan.
Nathan noticed it.
And he looked at Shelley.
Shelley turned away.
The music began.
And Erik and Shelley stopped arguing.
They began to sing.
The others in the room were toasting.
It didn’t matter if they were friends.
It was just a social event.
Everybody was hiding their true selves.
Bruno was the first one. “Hayden, we should have a drink together. We are both youngsters with a
promising future.”
He always acted like a gentleman around people.
Hayden didn’t refuse and picked up his glass. “What about your fiancée?” He turned to Laurel.
a The Mamage
Hayden usually used “Ms. Lambert”. The word fiancée sounded a bit harsh.
Laurel suddenly thought of her kiss with Bruno in the garden.
She was not guilty.
It was not a true marriage.

“What about your fiancée?” Hayden raised his brows.
Laurel glared at Hayden.
But he ignored it.
Bruno said, “Laurel can’t drink more.”
“Really?” Hayden smiled.
Nobody could figure out what he was thinking.
Laurel couldn’t, either.”
But she sensed that the man was not as sloven as he looked.
“If you don’t mind, I can drink for her. I’ll have two glasses,” Bruno said.
“You are a good husband. Let’s do that. Cheers!” Hayden said and drank his wine.
Bruno did the same.
And after the first glass, he had a second one.
It went on the whole night.
Whenever Bruno drank, he had to drink for Laurel.
Erik sang with Shelley for a moment.
He put down the microphone when he saw Hayden’s glance

and walked towards him.
They planned to make Bruno drunk.
Shelley looked at Erik, unpleased.
They were singing.
Why did he run away?
She was about to hand the microphone to Paul when she thought of Erik saying that the song was a
breakup song. “What if he was right?” Shelley thought.
She gave up.

She was putting down her microphone when someone else joined her.
The man’s voice was low and beautiful.
It was Nathan.
Shelley was a bit surprised. She continued to sing a few seconds later.
“I don’t have enough time to love.” Nathan went on.
“Should have ended it.” Shelley suddenly stopped.
She didn’t want to go on.
So she handed the microphone to Avril.
“I don’t know the song,” Avril refused.
Gemma felt Shelley’s glance and said, “I don’t know, either.”

Chapter 25 Hayda
Shelley was speechless.
She looked at Paul.
Paul was sitting by the wall.
288 Mouchen
He was not able to get along well with these rich men from the upper class. He was brought up in a
different kind of family.
Paul had worked for one year and was better at this now. He wouldn’t have shown up at such a party
earlier.
Shelley put down the microphone and walked towards him.
She worried that Paul could not have a good time.
Paul hugged Shelley with a smile on his face.
Nathan glanced at them.
And he continued to sing alone.
Erik was back when he saw Nathan singing alone.
Nathan was singing the two parts of the song.
So Erik picked up the microphone and took the female part.
It was a perfect song for Nathan’s voice.
And Bruno was still drinking.
Each time he drank, he drank two glasses. One was for himself. The other was for Laurel.
Bruno drank a lot.
But he was happy. He enjoyed the pleasure of being flattered.
So he didn’t refuse anyone. He drank fast.
Soon, his face turned red.
Bruno was a bit drunk.
He whispered in Laurel’s ear, “I have to use the restroom.”
“Do you need me?” Laurel asked.
The people saw that they were intimate.
Gemma was mad with jealousy.
Laurel inherited all of the wealth of the Lambert family. Otherwise, Gemma would be the focus of the
party. Gemmal felt unimportant and invisible.
But she was not the only upset one tonight. Her mother was angry, too. Gemma knew that.
L
Blanca, all of a sudden, looked elegant and beautiful. Those wealthy ladies were all flattering her. If the
money went to Gemma, her mother would be like Blanca now. The wealth and love enjoyed by Laurel
now should be Gemma’s!
Gemma held her hatred back. It was not easy.
In her heart, she wanted to part Bruno and Laurel immediately.
Bruno stood up and went out.
It was lucky for Gemma that they did not do anything more
intimate.

Gemma was staring at them when Avril whispered in her ear.
“Gemma, Bruno just went out.”
Gemma was about to say she was not blind when she understood Avril.
Though Gemma never liked Avril, she had to admit Avril was clever and helpful sometimes.
Gemma stood up.
She left the room with her head lowered.
But Laurel noticed it.
Bruno returned after a while.
It took him quite long.
When he was back, he was soberer.
But the people were still toasting.
Gemma was back like 10 minutes later. Her face was red, and she looked shy.
The youngsters were having a good time.
And it was noisy.
Laurel was watching Bruno drinking with Erik and didn’t notice Gemma.
She left.
And when she left, Bruno didn’t notice her.
Chapter 25 Haydenis Dangerous
Bruno was trying to be friends with Erik.
The Reed family was somehow special. Bruno needed Erik’s friendship.
When Bruno wanted something, he always ignored Laurel.
She walked out indifferently.
And she waited outside for a minute.
Hayden went out, too.
Hayden was the one Laurel waiting for.
They walked down the corridor together.
Laurel said, “I’ll make Gemma take Bruno back later.”
Hayden was silent.
“When they leave, ask Erik’s men to follow them.”
Hayden said, “You are getting married in a month. Why are. you sure that he will betray you?”
“I’m sure.” Bruno wouldn’t change.
As long as Gemma made a move first, Bruno would not refuse her.
Gemma was more than jealous tonight. She would make the
move:
“If you are sure, I can cancel the drug prepared by Erik,” Hayden said in a low voice.
“No.”

“You are saving yourself an easy way out.” Hayden smiled ironically.
Laurel understood his words a few seconds later.
She said slowly and clearly, “I never need an easy way out. And I won’t save one for Bruno.”
“Oh, really?” Hayden asked.
“You’ll see tonight.””
Laurel turned to walk away.
But she was grabbed by the arm.
Hayden pushed her to the wall and wouldn’t let her go.
Hayden was drunk and dangerous.
