Layne’sment jolted Hannah back to the present.


    She collected herself and offered him a small smile.


    “He has always been like this.


    ”


    She nced over at Jalen again before saying, “I’ll go and help Jalen out.


    We can talk some moreter.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    ”


    “Of course.


    ”


    Hannah picked up a new ss of red wine from the table before making her way to where Jalen stood.


    Layne watched her go, his eyes reluctantly peeling away as she was swallowed by the crowd.


    In another part of the hall, Edwin was settledfortably in an inconspicuous corner.


    He had taken his phone out as soon as he arrived, and proceeded to choose a quiet ce to y his mobile games in peace.


    He enjoyed his sce for a while, but it was soon intruded upon.


    “Hello there.


    I’m Sadie Edwards of the Edwards family in Valmere.


    It’s nice to meet you.


    ”


    Sadie had spent a good amount of time searching for her target.


    She was about to give up when she finally noticed Edwin in thest ce she expected.


    She had paused to take in his Luxurious attire and the unmistakable, libertine ir that he had going on about him.


    Then, she put on the facade of a sweet, gentle girl before she approached, wine ss in hand.


    Edwin wasn’t all too pleased at being interrupted.


    He nced up briefly at Sadie, then looked back at his phone.


    “What’s up?” he asked, his tone dismissive.


    Sadie pressed her lips into a thin line.


    She plopped down next to him, “What are you ying?”


    Her proximity afforded Edwin a healthy whiff of her cloying perfume, and he instinctively leaned away.


    “It’s nothing.


    ”

    “Aren’t you bored, just ying on your phone? I saw you sitting by yourself and thought you might like somepany.


    How about it? Why don’t we have a drink?” Sadie was wearing a tight little number that sessfully showcased her figure.


    She leaned closer to Edwin, putting her assets on full disy.


    “You see, I’m all by myself, too.


    ”


    Unfortunately for her, Edwin was much too focused on his game, and didn’t even register her attempt at flirtation.


    “I’m not drinking.


    My cousin told me not to drink tonight.


    ”


    Sadie cursed him inwardly.


    He looked like he was over twenty years old.


    Did he still obey his cousin like some lost little boy?


    But before she could say anything else, she was yanked back to her feet.


    “Get away from him!” the culprit shrieked in Sadie’s ear.
