Billionaire ’s Unforgettable First Love

Chapter 18 Double Blows

Chapter 18 Double Blows

"Mr. Edison announced your breakup, but you said that he wants to marry you?" Reina found it amusing, so she did not hide the smile and scorn she felt for Nancy.

However, Nancy did not argue with Reina, instead, she stated, "He'll marry me sooner or later. Let's make a bet if you don't believe me."

"What should we bet on?"

"Twenty percent of the shares of Wallace Entertainment."

Reina snorted. "You're so greedy. I want to bet with you, but Wallace Entertainment is my aunt's company, not mine. I can't decide on this."

"Doesn't your aunt want you to be a part of the film industry?"

"Yes, she does, but I don't want to. I like being a model more because I just need to walk the runway in beautiful clothes, but being an actress is too tiring. It's very easy to get criticisms if my acting is bad."

While talking, Reina put her arm on Nancy's shoulders to hug her as if they were confiding in each other. "I heard that you accepted a role. Is it the leading actress?

"Yeah."

"Work hard at Wallace Entertainment. My aunt knows that you're my friend, so she'll think of you if there's a good resource."

"Help me to say something nice in front of your aunt then. I'll thank you here."

"You're welcome. Of course, I have to help you with your career since you've lost your man."

However, Nancy hated that statement very much. When did she lose her man?

Edison was just throwing a tantrum. When he had had enough fun, she would go and see Master Yates and coax him well. As long as he gave an order, Edison would beg her to get back together with him.

Hence, she showed no signs of displeasure. She just patted the back of Reina's hand gently. "I'm so honored and lucky to have such a beautiful and loyal friend like you."

Being flattered, Reina grinned happily.

"You talk so nicely. Just behave like this in front of my aunt from now on. She'll like you."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"By the way, will Mr. Yates come tonight?"

"Of course."

She leaned into Reina's ear and whispered briefly. After Reina listened to that, she widened her eyes. "Mr. Yates hired a woman..."

"Keep it low. Don't let others hear you. You're the only one I told." Nancy hurriedly covered Reina's mouth and reminded her softly.

"So, Mr. Yates is just throwing a tantrum, huh?"

Nancy lifted her chin slightly and appeared very arrogant. "Yes, he's angry at me because I turned his proposal down."

"Do you have to pursue your career? Isn't it good to marry him and be a rich young wife?"

"I can't accept it to just marry him like this."

While talking, Estella quickly walked over and whispered in Nancy's ear, "Mr. Yates is here with that Miss Lovelace."

Consequently, Nancy's expression changed drastically because she could not believe what she had heard.

It was fine even if Edison was making a fuss, but it was her birthday, which was a big day for her. He should have done her the favor. However, he brought that woman along. It would be a huge humiliation for her in front of her friends.

The only person who knew the truth was Reina alone except Estella. The other ignorant people would make fun of her.

No.

She could not allow Edison to come in with Gwenyth.

Hence, she got up and pulled Estella to the door with her.

That house belonged to her mother before she passed away, and it was an individual villa that her father bought. It was located in the best area in Zelicon City. Its price was extremely high and she heard that many famous people had properties there.

How could anyone come into her house randomly?

She and Estella went out. They soon saw a black Bentley being parked in the yard. Edison got out of the car while holding Gwenyth's hand.

Gwenyth was wearing a long black dress. It was a limited edition of the FIO brand under the Yates Group, and there were only a few such dresses. Nancy had yearned for one for a very long time, and she had been pestering Edison to give it to her.

However, he did not do so, and now it was Gwenyth who was wearing that.

As a result, Nancy felt like she had received double blows.

"Eddie."

She forced a faint smile and went to them, blocking them below the stairs.

"It's my birthday today. I think it's not very suitable for you to take Miss Lovelace here."

Edison raised his arm lightly to hold Gwenyth's shoulders. He then turned around and was about to get in the car.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Nancy became anxious. "Wait."

So, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her quietly.

When Nancy's gaze fell on the dress on Gwenyth's body, oppression engulfed her and she found difficulty breathing. So, she felt very ill at ease.

"Miss Lovelace, your dress is so pretty."

Gwenyth smiled lightly and replied, "Thank you."

"Just come in since you're here."

Helplessly, Nancy stepped aside and let them through.

However, Gwenyth was rather terrified. She wanted nothing but to leave with Edison, but Nancy's attitude changed so quickly.

She walked alongside Edison while holding his arm into the house. A man with dreadlocks was playing music in the large hall on the ground floor. It was quite lively. Some very charming young men and women gathered on the couch or in the corner. Most of them were from the entertainment industry.

The waiters in white shirts and red ties were either carrying food or drink, walking around the hall. The people who wanted food or drink could get them from the trays in the waiters' hands or they could ask for it at the bar. A bartender who Nancy hired at a high price was there.

Edison sat on the couch with Gwenyth. A beautiful woman immediately walked over and sat beside Edison. She then tilted her head and looked askance at him with interest.

"Mr. Yates, do you still remember me?"

Edison glanced at her and replied indifferently, "No, I don't."

"I'm Nancy's good friend, Reina O'flagen. We met a few times."

"Is that so?"

Edison did not have much of an impression of her, so he dealt with her perfunctorily.

Reina saw that he did not feel like talking to her. If it weren't for the fact that Nancy asked her to greet him and she also yearned to see the woman he hired at a close distance, she would not have brought contempt upon herself.

Gwenyth felt Reina's gaze on her, so she smiled briefly at Reina out of politeness.

Reina then smirked. "Mr. Yates, aren't you going to introduce her?"

"My girlfriend, Gwenyth Lovelace."

He did not speak loudly, so only the people nearby heard him.

Consequently, they felt as if they had heard some shocking news before they turned to look at Gwenyth in unison.

The people who could tell good from bad instantly discovered that she was wearing a limited edition dress from the FIO brand, and it was not cheap. Her makeup was light, and her temperament was exceptional. So, a lot of people thought that she came from a powerful family.

After all, it was impossible that Edison would fall for an ordinary woman, so she must be rich and noble.

Nancy was at the bar waiting for the bartender to make her drinks. Estella walked over and stuffed a small paper bag into Nancy's hand. Nancy then turned around and opened it to take a look. It was full of white powder.

"What's the effect? Is there any side effect?"

She asked Estella softly.

"I heard that its effect is pretty good but it comes with a bit of side effect. There may be a slight headache the next day, but it's different for each individual."

Nancy nodded. There might not be a big problem given how good Edison's body was.

Edison would soon be hers, and they would enjoy a great romance on her birthday. When Nancy thought of that, she felt that it was undeniably the best gift for her.
