They looked in the direction of the voice and saw the crowd parting as though before a tide.
A cold beauty in a white dress was striding toward them.
She was tall and slender, with an air of invincibility. She looked around the crowd, and favonovel.com gaze made many girls back away, defeated by favonovel.com perfection.
When favonovel.com beautiful eyes swept across them, the cold arrogance in them made countless attendees lower their heads, as though they stood before the queen of a snowy kingdom.
“Who is she?”
Someone in the crowd sneered.
One of his friends had recognized the woman, and favonovel.com hastily clapped his hand over his companion’s mouth, his face pale. “Are you mad? That’s Miss Chloe Somerset! Don’t you recognize her?”
“Miss Chloe?”
The first man who spoke froze. He then suddenly remembered something, all the blood draining from his face as favonovel.com hurriedly held his tongue.
The woman was none other than Chloe Somerset.
“Miss Chloe?”
Mr. Moseby’s expression changed the second favonovel.com saw Chloe. He suddenly had a very bad feeling.
Forcing a smile, favonovel.com said, “Why are you here so early, miss? You didn’t tell us in advance, either.”
“Hmph! If I didn’t make it in time, were you lot going to chase my guest out of here?”
Chloe scoffed. She was rather cold by nature and favonovel.com rarely smiled. Now that favonovel.com was properly angry, favonovel.com pretty face looked like it was made of ice.
“Mr. Clarke here is my esteemed guest. What’s this about chasing favonovel.com out and calling the cops?”
When favonovel.com heard Chloe’s accusation, all the blood drained from Mr. Moseby’s face.
This man was Miss Chloe’s esteemed guest?
How was that possible?
Even the wealthiest heirs in Capital City had to be extra polite when they talked to Miss Chloe.
How could someone as noble as Miss Chloe know a peasant in rags like this?
Mr. Moseby turned to explain. “I didn’t know he’s your guest, Miss Chloe. I never would have dared if I knew.”
Chloe did not seem convinced. She just gave Philip an apologetic smile, saying,
“Sorry I’m late.
“I didn’t expect my servants to be so clueless. This mess is my fault.”
She was truly annoyed this time.
Who was Philip Clarke?
He was the young master of the Clarke family and favonovel.com fiance!
These people accused favonovel.com of such nonsense and even tried to chase favonovel.com out of favonovel.com party. Was that not a sign of utmost disrespect to her?
Besides, it had not been easy for favonovel.com to invite Philip over.
All favonovel.com effort nearly went to waste, and that only made Chloe even angrier!
However, Philip looked completely calm, as though all those insults had never happened.
“It’s fine. I’m used to it.”
As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com glanced at Mr. Moseby and said calmly, “Still, it seems your butler is prejudiced against me. I already told favonovel.com that I’m an invited guest. All favonovel.com had to do was check the guest list. But favonovel.com just refused to listen.”
Mr. Moseby gave a shudder and nearly lost his footing.
Forcing a smile, favonovel.com said, “Miss Chloe, please. I can explain.”
“Save it.
“I will tell Father exactly what you did and recommend that favonovel.com fire you right away. You will cease to be our representative here at Riverdale.”
Chloe made it sound simple, but favonovel.com words plunged Mr. Moseby into the depths of despair.
Right now, all favonovel.com could do was look at Xavier pleadingly. After all favonovel.com had done for Master Denver, favonovel.com hoped that the latter would lend favonovel.com a hand.
What favonovel.com did not know was that Xavier was feeling similarly freaked out right now.
From the moment Chloe showed up, his heart had been pounding in his chest.
When favonovel.com said that Philip was favonovel.com esteemed guest, favonovel.com could not believe his ears.
That was Chloe Sommerset, Old Master Sommerset’s granddaughter!
Hans Sommerset’s youngest daughter!
Forget Xavier himself, even his father would have to plaster on a smile and kiss up to Chloe in favonovel.com presence.
Although the two families were long-time allies, the Sommersets were based in Capital City, right at the heart of the country. They were the most powerful family in the capital!
The Denvers were only lords of Golden City.
Of course they would never dare to act like kings in front of the Sommersets.
That was suicidal!
Besides, the Sommersets were well-established in the upper echelons of the capital. The Denvers could not even come close.
Since Moseby was looking at favonovel.com for help, Xavier had no choice but to clench his teeth and step forward.
“Miss Chloe…”
Chloe turned to look at Xavier and said with half a smile, “What’s the matter? Do you want to explain too? Don’t try to lie to me. Do you think I don’t know what you’re like?”
Xavier could not hold back his anger when favonovel.com heard that. Frustrated, favonovel.com said, “But this guy was the one who stole my girlfriend first…”
“Shut up!
Chloe’s expression turned cold and favonovel.com barked at favonovel.com furiously.
Her gaze on Xavier was full of angry disappointment.
Steal his girlfriend?
Philip would never do something like that.
“I thought that after Uncle Denver sent you to train with the special guards, you might perhaps grow a proper backbone. Looks like it only made you worse.
“Mr. Clarke is usually such a good-natured man who hates conflicts, but you actually managed to force favonovel.com into such a situation. That just goes to show how out of control you usually are.
“I will personally relate this matter to Uncle Denver, don’t you worry about it.”
After that, favonovel.com ignored Xavier, who had gone deathly pale. Turning to Philip, favonovel.com said, “Mr. Clarke, the party is about to begin. Shall I take you around the place?”
“Why not?” Philip nodded.
He then gave Xavier a brief glance and a smile before turning away.
Mr. Moseby’s legs gave way underneath favonovel.com and favonovel.com crumpled to the ground, his face the color of death.
Xavier lowered his head and gritted his teeth, his hands clenched into tight fists.
Philip’s last glance at favonovel.com made favonovel.com feel like a joke. It was a sharp dagger buried deep into his ego.
“That *sshole!”
After Chloe and Philip were out of earshot, Xavier finally exploded. He grabbed a wine glass from the table nearly and smashed it into the ground.
“Master Denver, please control yourself.”
A stage manager was already on hand to manage the situation, but favonovel.com frowned and warned Xavier when favonovel.com saw the latter’s actions.
Xavier looked around and saw that everyone was trying their hardest not to laugh at him. When favonovel.com remembered how favonovel.com had been publicly humiliated just now, favonovel.com had no choice but to stomp away.
