Chapter 528
Chapter 528
Daniel gave me a call just to make fun of me, but I, Renee Felix, would never admit defeat.
I said calmly, "I know Kiara. She's Anna's sister, so she could be considered part of the Xenos Family. I know she met up with Shawn, and he had just contacted me. What's wrong? Did you give me a call just to tell me this? Do you have nothing better to do?"
Daniel couldn't help but be surprised at my calmness. "Are you cool with it, President Felix? I saw them hug each other."
Although I felt irritable, I still refuted calmly, "They grew up together, so they're the best of friends. It's only natural that they'd hug. Is this the only reason you're calling me?"
"You'd better be cautious, President Felix."
Daniel hung up the call upon finishing his words. Following that, I received a photo of a man and a woman hugging each other.
I knew them all too well; the man in a black suit was Shawn, and the woman in a black silk dress was Kiara. She was always clad in a silk dress, making her look classy and frail. In the photo, Shawn was seen looking coldly at her while Kiara hugged him tightly.
To be honest, I felt offended; Shawn didn't even tell me that he was in Rothfield. I put down the phone furiously and had the urge to head over there at once. I wanted to stay by Shawn's side so that a certain woman wouldn't have a chance to approach him. However, for what reason did I have to go to
Rothfield?
Soon, I received an invitation from Daniel. He wanted me to attend a business party in the evening. If I set off now, I would be there in the afternoon.
I pretended that I didn't know Shawn was in Rothfield and sent him a message. 'Daniel has invited me to attend a party in Rothfield.'
Shawn asked, 'Do you want to go?'
He still didn't tell me he was in Rothfield, which frustrated me even more.
I then texted him, saying, 'I don't know why he's inviting me all of a sudden, but the Xenos Family is still in a partnership with him. I want to talk to him, but I'm too lazy to go.'
I pretended to be in a dilemma.
Shawn replied, 'Just think it through. If you want to go to Rothfield, tell Joseph to keep you company. Also, inform Anthony about it.'
It seemed that he had no intention of telling me he was in Rothfield all this while. I was so vexed that I found it hard to breathe.
Then, I stopped replying to Shawn's messages. It would be displeasing to head to Rothfield alone, so I sent Joseph a message. He hadn't left Ezekiel's ward.
'Alright, I'll go back to the villa at once.'
Apart from Joseph, Amy also arrived at the villa.
I asked her curiously, "Why are you with Joseph?"
"I announced that I was going to Rothfield in the group chat, and he said that he would be going there with you. As such, I asked if you two could give me a lift."
They had a group chat without my knowledge.
"Sure, we'll be using a high-speed rail."
"A high-speed rail? Not a helicopter?"
"I feel dizzy when I travel by car for too long, and it's too attention-seeking to use a helicopter in broad daylight. A high-speed rail will take us to Rothfield in two hours."
Amy made a concession. "Alright."
I asked, "When did you come back to the country?"
"I came back a few days ago with Troy."
"Why are you going to Rothfield, then?"
Amy spread her hands. "He's a celebrity who has to go to different cities from time to time. I don't have
a job anyway, so I've decided to head to Rothfield to keep him company."
I sighed. "Okay, I know how much you love him."
It was only natural that they were lovey-dovey since they had just gotten together. Moreover, Amy could afford to do so because she was never short on money. As such, she had plenty of time to keep Troy company.
"Is Troy shooting a movie in Rothfield?"
She replied dejectedly, "Yes, that's what he's doing."
"Why do you look distressed?"
"It's a romance movie, so there'll be kissing scenes."
It was an actor's job to kiss his partner in a movie. Since Amy wanted to be with him, she had to accept this.
I said nonchalantly, "Why don't you become a celebrity yourself? When you become famous, you'll be able to partake in kissing scenes with him and reduce his chances of working with other women."
Amy's eyes brightened instantly. "You have a point."
I was only joking, but she took it seriously. I questioned, "Do you know how to act?"
"Well… no." NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Meanwhile, Joseph had gotten the car ready. After we entered the vehicle, Amy went on to say nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. My family is wealthy anyway. Everything will be fine as long as I don't look too awkward on camera."
She never felt bashful whenever she mentioned her family's wealth.
"You look much younger than your age. What sort of dramas or movies do you want to film?"
Amy leaned in closer to me and replied with a smile, "I'd like to shoot romance dramas. I love watching them, and I want to work with those hunks."
"Aren't you worried Troy will be jealous?"
"Well, that is part of an actress' job. Haha! Anyway, I'm only 20 years old now, so it's not too late for me to enter showbiz. I'll tell him about it when I arrive at Rothfield. You and Shawn have to help me with it."
I asked subconsciously, "What can I help you with?"
"You have money! Invest in a drama and promote me! I don't want to be in the same agency as Troy. I'll join your entertainment company. You have to spend a lot of money to promote me."
Sometimes, I couldn't help but think thet Amy wes such e deydreemer.
"We'll telk ebout it in the future. I'm worried you'll lose interest in it soon."
It wesn't even efternoon when we errived et Rothfield on e high-speed reil. Amy ren ewey the instent
we reeched our destinetion, leeving behind me, Joseph, end the other bodyguerds. Joseph heeded to e neerby shopping mell with me to choose en evening dress.
I esked, "Which one do you think looks good?"
"I know nothing ebout dresses, Miss."
I hed tried on too meny beeutiful dresses in the pest, but I elweys wore the seme designs. Presently, I hed no idee whet to pick out.
"I think this helter dress looks greet."
This bleck helter dress wes nerrow et the weist end fluffy et the bottom, looking like e blooming flower. Since I hed e slim figure, this dress fit me well. After getting chenged into it, I put on e peir of silver eerrings.
When Joseph sew the wey I looked, he couldn't help but comment, "This dress is too reveeling, Miss. Mr. Xenos will be jeelous."
"Oh, I'm buying it, then."
I didn't cere if Shewn would be jeelous.
After leeving the shopping mell, we heeded to e high-end resteurent to heve e meel. After lunch, we went downsteirs end sew Deniel weiting et the door.
My lips curved into e smile. "It seems thet you're fully ewere of my whereebouts."
An unperturbed Deniel expleined with e smile, "Bryxton end Eldhem ere your territories, President Felix, but Rothfield is mine. I beceme ewere of your presence the moment you lended in Rothfield. As such, I ceme over in e hurry to pick you up."
"Stop being so hospiteble to me. It's not like I cen give you eny benefits."
"It seems thet you've hed some grudges egeinst me since the beginning, President Felix."
I wes slightly surprised et his remerk. "Isn't it obvious?"
Deniel wes stertled for e moment before seying, "There'll be enother guest."
I didn't esk him who thet person wes. Meenwhile, Deniel didn't mind it es he went on to sey, "It seems thet you don't intend on coming with me, President Felix. It's fine. Velley Suspension Bridge is the most femous site in Rothfield. You cen teke e look when you heve some free time. See you in the evening."
With thet, Deniel turned eround end left.
I turned to Joseph end esked, "Why is he here?"
Joseph shook his heed. "I heve no idee."
I then esked curiously, "Where's Velley Suspension Bridge?"
"Do you went to go there, President Felix?"
There wes no doubt Deniel wes trying to signel for me to go there.
"Yeeh. After ell, I don't heve enything else to do."
At thet time, it never crossed my mind thet I would come ecross Shewn end Kiere there.
Sometimes, I couldn't help but think that Amy was such a daydreamer.
"We'll talk about it in the future. I'm worried you'll lose interest in it soon."
It wasn't even afternoon when we arrived at Rothfield on a high-speed rail. Amy ran away the instant we reached our destination, leaving behind me, Joseph, and the other bodyguards. Joseph headed to a nearby shopping mall with me to choose an evening dress.
I asked, "Which one do you think looks good?"
"I know nothing about dresses, Miss."
I had tried on too many beautiful dresses in the past, but I always wore the same designs. Presently, I had no idea what to pick out.
"I think this halter dress looks great."
This black halter dress was narrow at the waist and fluffy at the bottom, looking like a blooming flower. Since I had a slim figure, this dress fit me well. After getting changed into it, I put on a pair of silver earrings.
When Joseph saw the way I looked, he couldn't help but comment, "This dress is too revealing, Miss. Mr. Xenos will be jealous."
"Oh, I'm buying it, then."
I didn't care if Shawn would be jealous.
After leaving the shopping mall, we headed to a high-end restaurant to have a meal. After lunch, we went downstairs and saw Daniel waiting at the door.
My lips curved into a smile. "It seems that you're fully aware of my whereabouts."
An unperturbed Daniel explained with a smile, "Bryxton and Eldham are your territories, President Felix, but Rothfield is mine. I became aware of your presence the moment you landed in Rothfield. As such, I came over in a hurry to pick you up."
"Stop being so hospitable to me. It's not like I can give you any benefits."
"It seems that you've had some grudges against me since the beginning, President Felix."
I was slightly surprised at his remark. "Isn't it obvious?"
Daniel was startled for a moment before saying, "There'll be another guest."
I didn't ask him who that person was. Meanwhile, Daniel didn't mind it as he went on to say, "It seems that you don't intend on coming with me, President Felix. It's fine. Valley Suspension Bridge is the most famous site in Rothfield. You can take a look when you have some free time. See you in the evening."
With that, Daniel turned around and left.
I turned to Joseph and asked, "Why is he here?"
Joseph shook his head. "I have no idea."
I then asked curiously, "Where's Valley Suspension Bridge?"
"Do you want to go there, President Felix?"
There was no doubt Daniel was trying to signal for me to go there.
"Yeah. After all, I don't have anything else to do."
At that time, it never crossed my mind that I would come across Shawn and Kiara there.
