298 Two Dancing Lanterns


    Zachary bared his teeth and said, “Cedric, you have so many women around you! Don’t fall into Isabe’s hand.”


    “I’m the host tonight. You’re just here to join in the fun. I’ll be the first to pick a wife.”


    “How can you do that?” Zachary protested. “Cedric, before I came, you said that I could do whatever I wanted.”


    Cedric directly nudged Zachary. “I don’t remember it.”


    Zachary was speechless, but Isabeughed out loud.


    Zachary saw that Cedric refused to let go of Isabe and refused to let go. He went to the bar to drink and pondered how to lure Isabe backter. Jayden arrivedte.


    “What’s wrong with you? The woman you like ran away with someone else?” Jayden picked up a ss of juice and gulped it down.


    When Zachary saw Jayden, he sighed. “You are right. I want to get Isabe into bed.”


    ...


    .....


    “Isabe?” Jayden was choked on her juice.


    “Look, she is dancing with Cedric.” Zachary raised his charming eyes. “Why am I so unlucky? Every time I try to seduce Isabe, either Joseph or Cedric supports her. I’m so depressed.”


    “Damn it!”


    “I bet that Cedric will marry Isabe.” Jayden hurriedly picked up her phone and took a picture of the scene.


    “What?”


    Zachary said in disbelief, “It can’t be. Isabe is indeed beautiful, but think about her father. Isabe is just a social butterfly. Cedric may y her. Forget about him marrying Isabe.”


    “How about betting one million?”


    Jayden smiled.


    “Fine. Why are you here sote tonight?”


    “I was helping Joseph check surveince videos. His girlfriend ran away from home because of Ste’s return. Joseph is anxious now.”


    “Haven’t Joseph found his girlfriend?”


    Zachary propped up his chin. “I heard some news earlier. I was wondering why Joseph didn’te tonight. But what is his girlfriend up to? She should return after venting her anger. She is ying with fire. Joseph doesn’t like being threatened.”


    “That woman can control Joseph and dares to stand him up, she is not an ordinary woman.”


    Jayden carefully took a few photos of Cedric and Isabe in the middle of the field and said with a smile, “I’ll have one million.”


    ...


    In the Globe Building...


    Gerry opened his bloodshot eyes and entered the president’s office. “Mr. Joseph, West City District is quite chaotic. Many of the surveince cameras on the roads have been damaged by hooligans. Now, we can only filter them from the outside. We can confirm that 13 ck Benz cars entered and exited West City District that night. Nine of them concentrated near Miss Ghost.”


    “Nine? So many.”


    Joseph took the photo and looked at it carefully. “Check the ownership of these nine cars. Isabe is likely in one of them.”


    “Yes.”


    “Mr. Joseph, why don’t you take a break while we’re screening? You haven’t slept for two days and one night,” Gerry said as he sized Joseph up.


    “It’s fine. The result ising out soon...”


    Joseph pinched the bridge of his nose. “How’s grandpa?”


    “He’s okay. I asked William to tell Charlie that Miss Isabe did not want toe back in a fit of temper. I did not tell him such a serious situation.”


    “Keep hiding it. I won’t be back for the next few days. Just Tell grandpa that I’m looking for Isabe. I don’t want him to see me through.”


    “Yes.”


    “Bring me another cup of coffee.”


    “Yes.”


    After Gerry left, Joseph was lost in his thought. “Isabe, where are you? No matter what, don’t let anything happen to you...”


    Joseph took out his phone and flipped through the main page of Isabe’s Weibo, hoping to find traces of Isabe from the clues on it.


    Jayden’s notification popped up on Joseph’s main page, indicating that Jayden posted something new.


    Joseph wanted to ignore it directly. But to his surprise, he was greatly shocked after looking at the picture.


    Joseph erged the picture. In the photo, Cedric and Isabe were dancing. In an enchanting red dress, Isabe had a charming smile!


    It said, “I bet 1 million that Cedric will marry this beauty within three months. Come on, babies.”


    ...


    The second song of the ball began. Isabe did not want to dance with Cedric. Although she understood that Cedric was helping her out, she felt that this would dy his business.


    ording to the introduction on the invitation letter, tonight’s ball wouldst for three hours, and there would be a total of fifteen songs. The host, Cedric, would participate in nine of them.


    It included the first three, the middle three, and the final three songs.


    The nine women chosen by Cedric were usually the ones he was interested in. Meanwhile, it also showed his courtesy to the women present.


    Isabe had taken up a spot and did not want to waste other women’s spots. After all, Cedric came here for business tonight. Isabe could not obstruct Cedric’s selection of a wife.


    Everyone dispersed and began the second round of selection. A beautiful and dignifieddy came over to invite Cedric. Isabe took the opportunity to withdraw her hand and bowed to Cedric.


    “Isabe...” Cedric said worriedly.


    “It’s okay, Cedric.”


    “What happened just now won’t happen again. Since you’ve already helped me out, I won’t feel embarrassed anymore,” replied Isabe.


    It just so happened that a man invited Isabe. Isabe put her hand into the man’s hand and smiled sweetly. She epted the man’s invitation.


    Cedric’s expression immediately became terrible.


    “Jayden, you’re going to lose one million!”


    When Zachary saw that Isabe and Cedric separated, he excitedly jumped up from the bar counter. “They won’t dance together in the second round! I want to get Isabe back!”


    Jayden patted Zachary’s arm. “You’d better not. Don’t you see Cedric’s expression?”


    “Forget it. Do you think Cedric is as reserved as us?” Zachary touched his eyes with roon makeup and said proudly, “Cedric has many women. It’s easy for him to get one. If he likes Isabe, do you think he is willing to let go? I’m going!”


    At the end of the second song, Zachary finally caught Isabe.


    Isabe stared at Zachary, who looked funny in a red tie and a red suit. After thinking for a moment, she put her hand into Zachary’s hand.


    ...


    “Isabe, you are naughty. You’ve been whetting my appetite,” Zachary said happily.


    “No. I have no interest in you at all,” Isabe returned directly.


    “Why?”


    “Because I hate men dressed likenterns.” Isabe grabbed Zachary’s suit. “Don’t you feel that we are like two dancingnterns?”
