Chapter 10 Is There Someone Else in Your Mind

"I saw that your eyes were stuck on someone else, so I have to sober you up. Otherwise, I bet you wouldn't even remember that I'm standing beside you."

The next second, Celeste replied angrily. After all these years, Richard still hadn't changed his bad temper.

If she hadn't been watching him closely, he would have been seduced by those beautiful women out there.

When Richard heard her reply, he looked discontent, and a hint of disgust flashed across his eyes.

He was a promiscuous man and had been flirting around since young. Of course, he wasn't willing to stay at home for a long time.

Having been watched by Celeste for so many years as if he was her pet, Richard couldn't help but feel discontent.

However, the Maynard family was getting more and more successful in their business over the past six years, and they were almost on par with the Rowland family now. Besides, Celeste had also become a famous pianist in Kesmana City. As her fiancé, Richard was well-respected too.

"When did I look at someone else? No one here can compare to you."

Holding back the discontent in his heart, Richard grabbed her waist and flirtily whispered in her ear.

Although Celeste knew that he was a sweet talker, she was still amused by his words and smiled satisfyingly. "You always sweet-talk me, but who knows if there’s someone else on your mind?"

"No way. You're the only one on my mind..."

When Alice overheard their conversation, a mocking smile appeared on her red lips. Eyes flashing, she then slightly pushed the wine glass. With that, it fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, making a crisp sound. At the same time, her gown was spilled with red wine.

Quickly standing up, Alice lowered her head and acted as if she was wiping her clothes.

As soon as Richard heard the sound and noticed that Alice was in trouble, he was distracted, especially when he saw her perfect figure as she stood up. Not caring about Celeste, whom he had just comforted, he went up right away.

"Are you alright, miss?"

At once, the smile on Celeste's face froze. Following Richard, her angry gaze fell on the woman in a red gown.

How dare this woman try to steal her fiancé away from her?

No, she must go and take a look. Otherwise, Richard would get seduced by that woman.

"Miss—"

When he was about to help Alice, she pushed him away. As she raised her head, her beautiful and delicate face came into his sight. At first, Richard was stunned, and then he became confused. Finally, he was dumbfounded, and his hand froze in the air as if he saw a ghost.

For one whole minute, Richard kept the same gaze and posture, making him look strange.

"Richard, why are you standing here? What's so nice to see?" Celeste asked grumpily as she held his arms. The next second, she was struck when she saw Alice.

"You—"

"What a coincidence!" Alice smiled faintly, her eyes cold, and she looked otherworldly. However, she somehow became enchanting in the red gown. Especially since Alice was under the dim light, she exuded a mysterious aura.

Meanwhile, the sound of wine glass shattering rang the moment Frederick entered the hall.
