Estelle said flatly, “I don’t want to know.”
“Really?” Manley grinned wickedly, “I told the police they were fighting each other, but they didn’t believ
e me. They’re still looking for clues. Should I give the copied security footage to the police? Don’t worry,
I won’t harm my own girlfriend. I’ll delete the recordings with you in them and only keep the ones with t
he girl who went with you. What do you say? Oh, by the way, it seems that Noel’s people have been try
ing to find the girl’s dad.”
Estelle frowned, stared at Manley for three seconds, and then got into the car.
Manley chuckled triumphantly. “That’s more like it! You should’ve get on sooner.”
Estelle looked at him coldly, and her eyes calmed down. She said, “I apologize for hitting you last time,
and thank you for not giving the surveillance footage to the police. From now on, can we not
interfere with each other?”
Manley laughed, “You hit me, I helped you, that’s not exactly fair, is it?”
Estelle asked. “So, what do you want?”
Manley patted the steering wheel with his right hand and laughed, “How about this? I’m going to a cock
tail party tonight, but I forgot to bring a date. You can be m date for tonight, and we’ll be even for everyt
hing that happened before.”
Estelle stared at him calmly, trying to figure out Manley’s intentions.
Manley continued, “Are you afraid? Don’t worry, you are better at fighting, so what can I do to you? Or, I
can make sure Noel’s men don’t find the girl’s dad. Is that a fair trade?”
Estelle felt that she did owe Manley a favor and wasn’t afraid of any tricks he might pull. She nodded in
agreement, ‘Fine, I’ll go with you.”
Estelle added, “I don’t have a dress.
Manley smiled nonchalantly, “No problem. You look great just like this. Absolutely stunning!”
The party venue was not far from the Macclain family, in another villa area in N City. There were rows o
f garden villas, which were rarely occupied and mostly used as party venues for the rich.
Manley drove his car into a European–style villa, and the enormous yard was filled with luxury cars.
A uniformed doorman ran over to open the door
for them. Seeing Manley, the doorman’s smile became even more respectful, as if he was familiar with
him. Manley stood there, waiting for Estelle, and reached out his hand
Estelle knew what he wanted and gave him a cold look, warning him not to go too far.
Manley insisted. “You are my date!”
Estelle responded firmly, “Fine, as long as you don’t mind me breaking your arm
Manley went speechless.
He suspected that Estelle was a time traveler from the primitive age.
So rough and barbaric!
The two entered the hall one after another. But as long as they appeared together, regardless of wheth
er or not they were holding hands, they were bound to be the focus of attention.
Especially the attention of women
As soon as
Estelle walked in, she noticed a few obvious jealous and hostile glances fall upon her. In that instant, sh
e seemed to understand Manley’s intentions. Women were nothing to be afraid of, but what made her u
neasy was that she spotted Jonathan among the party guests.
She told Jonathan that she had other plans and asked for a day off, yet here she is attending a cocktail
party with Manley She let out a sigh
