Belland was silent for a moment before a smile appeared on his face again.
His smile was very charming and could easily make a woman fall in love with him. “I’m here today to introduce you to my younger brother and also to discuss our engagement…”
Before Belland could finish his words, he was surrounded by two business partners to chat.
“Oh! This young lady is so beautiful. Forgive me for being presumptuous, but Mr. Glanton’s taste in finding a girlfriend is really enviable.”
“This must be the young lady of the Lipton family, Mr. Glatton’s fiancée.”
Eunice gracefully held Belland’s arm, accepting their compliments.
Belland’s expressionless face slightly frowned.
“Belland?”
At this moment, an extremely familiar voice sounded from behind Belland.
Belland’s back stiffened.
It was Mary.
The banquet hall was very large. Walking from the entrance to here made Mary’s feet, which were not used to high heels, feel a little painful.
Her legs were even feeling a little weak.
Eunice was the first to turn around. Her beautiful face was still smiling with confidence. She sized up the woman who had just called out to Belland. It was a woman with a beautiful face and a good figure.
But she was wearing… what was this?
Did she think that this high-end party was an elementary school party? A dark pink tutu and cheap white high heels. It was truly hard to look at.
Belland also turned around and pulled back his arm that was being held by Eunice at an extremely fast speed. He took two steps forward and placed one hand on Mary’s shoulder. “Darling, why are you here?”
Eunice frowned.
Mary’s gaze on Eunice was blocked by Belland’s tall body. She turned her gaze to Belland. It had to be said that the Belland today seemed very different from her husband that she was used to.
The high-class suit was well-ironed, and it definitely did not look like anything he had at home. It definitely looked suited for tonight’s cocktail party.
Belland definitely did not look out of place here.
“I came with Mabel.” Mary replied, still holding the bottle of famous wine that Mabel was going to use as a gift to make connections with the rich and powerful.
Eunice stepped forward again and naturally held onto Belland’s arm. She stared at the bottle of red wine and smiled. “Hey, Belland, is this your nanny? Is she here to deliver this bottle of red wine to you?”
Belland’s palm that was pressing on Mary’s shoulder tightened slightly.
He did not expect that Mary would find out about this before he could settle things with Eunice. Originally, Mary should not have bumped into Eunice at such a time. He was worried that his wife would be hurt.
Still, they had ultimately met each other.
Belland calmly withdrew his arm from Eunice and pulled Mary into his embrace. He smiled and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Lipton. I haven’t had the time to introduce you. This is my wife, Mary.”
“Mary, this is Miss Lipton, a friend of mine. Actually, this matter is a little complicated. I’ll explain it to you when I get home tonight, okay?” He looked deeply at Mary, his eyes full of sincerity.
Eunice widened her eyes.
What did Belland just say?
The woman in this cheap dress was his wife?
Mary pursed her lips. Although she too had many questions in her heart, at this moment at least, she did not want to reveal even the slightest bit of weakness.
She was even more unwilling to be suppressed by the woman in front of her who was obviously coveting her husband. Mary revealed a graceful smile and leaned into Belland’s embrace. “Of course, Belland. No matter what it is, we’ll talk about it at home tonight.”
Eunice’s face turned pale.
At this moment, a few middle-aged men in suits approached.
One of them, who was holding a glass of red wine, said, “Hey, Young Chairman Glatton, long time no see. We’ve got to have a good talk tonight!”
