Mysterious Mr.Richard

Chapter99 Something Would Happen

The banquet hall was crowded with people. No one paid Adriana any attention except for the man.

Although she was born into a wealthy family, today's particular birthday banquet had gathered all of

Kityall City's famous socialites of the same level as the Louise family. It was far from what the Wood

family could get into.

Not a single person in the banquet hall had heard of her, even though Richard had revealed Adriana as

his fiancée,

Thus, she couldn't refuse the only man who showed her kindness, whether it was because of vanity or

self-esteem.

"Thanks." Adriana took the blue cocktail from him.

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet," He smiled and offered his hand. "Ethan Louise."

Driven by the charming smile, she held his hand subconsciously, "Adriana Wood."

"Adriana? Such a good name."

Ethan held the wine glass in his slender fingers and slightly tilted it in front of Adriana.

She could not move her gaze away from him. For a moment, Adriana's face flushed: "Your surname is

Louise? You're Mrs. Louise's..."

As one of the Four Greatest Households in Kityall City, the Louise Group's financial resources were

equal to the Zellweger's.

Richard was considered one of the best successors of the younger generation. However, the second

daughter of the Louise family, who was the current president of the Louise Group, had made her name

in the business industry of Kityall City ten years earlier than Richard.

Ethan smiled confidently, "Today is my mother's birthday. Thank you, Miss Wood, for coming here."

Adriana's eyes lit up when she heard the word 'mother'.

As everyone knew, the former president of Louise Group had three children. The eldest and second

daughter were responsible for their domestic and overseas company respectively. However, the

youngest son had never appeared in the public.

Ethan Louise?

She suddenly felt the name sounded a bit familiar, as she seemed to have heard it from Richard's

mother before. So he was the youngest son of Victoria Louise?

"Are you Katherine's brother?" Adriana asked.

"Just call me Ethan." Ethan smiled friendly.

Ethan Louise treated her like a proper lady even though he didn't know her identity. Any woman would

feel flattered, including Adriana.

When he saw the obvious changes in Adriana's expression, Ethan could guess what she was thinking

about. He wondered why Richard would take a fancy to such a vain woman!

His despise for Richard grew when he thought of this.

He had mischievous thoughts when he first saw her ever since Adriana entered the banquet hall.

At the same time, the resting lounge on the second floor was bustling.

Downstairs, it was a social occasion for the businessmen who were connected with the Louise family.

The family members of the Louise, such as Ethan's uncles and aunts, as well as the close friends,

were all chatting on the second floor.

"Is it not over yet?" Katherine was dressed in plain black, looking cold and prideful. She exuded an

aura that warned people not to approach her.

"No, Miss Katherine, the chess game is in a stalemate. Do you need me to urge them?"

"Forget it." Katherine stopped the butler. "Let dad rival in chess. Our uncles are also watching it with

interest. It's not good to disturb them now."

Then she glanced at the lounge.

Through the gaps in the crowd, she could clearly see a chessboard inside. On both sides sat Enrique

and Pearl respectively, each with one chess piece in their hands.

"Then what about the banquet?" The butler frowned.

"It's mom's birthday. It'll be fine as long as she's there. Where's Ethan by the way?"

At the mention of Ethan, the butler immediately looked downstairs. "I just saw him. Look, isn't he

there?."

Following the butler's gaze, katherine glanced towards the first floor of the banquet hall. Ethan's white

teeth were showing and his almond-shaped eyes were alluring. He was chatting and laughing with a

lady.

Seeing this, Katherine's face instantly changed. "Son of a b*tch, he really can't change his flirtatious

nature."

"Miss. Katherine..."

The butler didn't manage to stop Katherine. He could just watch as she went downstairs with a stern

face.

Something would happen!

Katherine had a bad temper. Ever since she was YOUNG, she disliked Ethan for behaving in a lazy

and careless manner, especially when he simply flirted around with girls.

Seeing the butler was anxious, Victoria asked: "What is Katherine walking in such a hurry?"

"Madam, Ethan would be in danger!"

"What's up?" Victoria was stunned. She then also looked downstairs. As she saw Ethan, her face

changed.

"Mrs. Louise, we have so many guests here. If Katherine was to get into a fight with Ethan, it won't look

good."

Victoria also look anxious. "Find Pearl, hurry up. She is the only one who can stop them."

...

When Katherine went downstairs. Adriana was sitting on the piano chair, and Ethan was leaning on the

white piano in the middle of the hall. She was performing a famous piece by Beethoven.

After she finished her play, Ethan placed the cocktail on the piano and applauded. "Miss Wood, I didn't

expect you to excel in the piano."

The other guests also showed their respects.

Adriana raised her dress and curtsied to everyone, showing a humble attitude. However, in her heart,

she was extremely pleased.

"The piece was a mess and she played wrongly in the third section. Who hired this pianist?" While

Adriana was immersed in her complacency, a cold female voice suddenly came from behind.

The moment she heard this, Adriana's face turned pale. When she turned around, she saw a tall and

short-haired woman.

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Ethan greeted her.

Adriana was stunned. It was Katherine, current president of the Louise Group.

"Did I say anything wrong? You also played the piano since childhood. You should know better than me

how some of the notes were wrong, but you still praised her?" Katherine's face was as cold as ice.

As she finished her words, the whole place was so quiet that a pin drop could heard. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
