Chapter 6 Chapter 6

Raelynn was stunned on the spot.

Because of her guilty conscience, plus Lucia, who had always been gentle, she had never thought that Lucia would say something like that.

Lucia didn't feel like showing her respect for Raelynn. She glanced at them and looked at their arms. "Ms. Fannen, do you think you are more suitable to stay with my fiance?"

Kelvin came to his senses and quickly pushed Raelynn's hand away.

At that moment, Raelynn was even more embarrassed. She could only smile and say, "Ms. Balstone seldom attended such parties, so I accompanied Mr. Calshaw to entertain guests. I'm sorry that Ms. Balstone misunderstood me."

"Are you saying that I'm not generous enough?" Lucia raised her brows.

At the moment when Raelynn wanted to defend herself.

Lucia said bluntly, "I was worried since I entered the banquet hall more than five minutes now, and Ms. Fannen had been holding my fiance's hand. I thought that Ms. Fannen was declaring her possessive."

Raelynn's face turned pale because of Lucia's words. She didn't dare to refute loudly due to her low status, so she kept apologizing. "No, Ms. Balstone, you had misunderstood! I didn't do it purposely. I'll be more cautious next time."

Lucia chuckled.

She didn't mean to forgive her.

Melanie, who was standing next to them, was really dumbfounded. Was this still the same Lucia she knew?

She was so domineering!

She had once reminded Lucia that Raelynn was a bitch. Since she was so close to Kelvin every day, it was apparent that she had bad intentions.

However, Lucia said that she trusted Kelvin. Melanie thought Kelvin was indeed satisfactory, so she didn't say much.

Raelynn graduated from a famous university and became the special assistant of the general manager of the YYC Industry at a young age. She sneered at a high-class daughter like Lucia. She probably meant that she relied on her good fortune and was useless.

Lucia taught Raelynn a lesson in front of everyone. Melanie felt satisfied.

"Lucia." Kelvin suddenly opened his mouth and took her hand.

Lucia rejected it in her heart, but in the end, she endured it.

"I didn't expect that you would suddenly come today. I'm glad." He never mentioned Raelynn, as if she had nothing to do with him.

He didn't say a good word to Raelynn, nor did he explain that he let Raelynn hold his arm all the time.

Kelvin had always been good at pretending and denying his mistake.

Lucia was clever and didn't say much. After teaching Raelynn a lesson, she had already humiliated Kelvin. It wasn't good if she was too eager to reveal her plan.

"Let's go. I'll take you to see my parents. They would be glad to see you." Kelvin smiled slightly. He was always so gentle.

Lucia nodded and notified Melanie. Then, holding Kelvin's hand, she walked into the banquet hall.

This couple had always attracted a lot of attention.

"Lucia is indeed the most beautiful woman in Bernille. I thought it was just a rumor before."

"She didn't show up in public. It's the first time I've seen her. I thought she was not beautiful enough to show herself, but now I have to eat my words."

"In the past, I always thought Lucia was not good enough for Kelvin. But now, from the looks of it, Lucia seems to be more outstanding."

...

Those voices of discussion also reached Lucia and Kelvin's ears.

Back then, because Lucia wasn't very familiar with these activities and Kelvin was very good at showing off, everyone in Parkland felt that she wasn't good enough for Kelvin.

Hearing what people said, Kelvin was naturally very dissatisfied.

He always liked to put himself in the highest position. He couldn't let anyone say that he was not good enough.

However, he was used to disguising himself as a kind and approachable personality.

The two of them walked up to Kelvin's parents and took the initiative to greet them.

Lucia used to think that the Calshaw family was kind to her and took good care of her. Later, she learned they only wanted to win her trust and steal her family's property.

She disguised her emotions and went to socialize with the Calshaw family.

Many people were coming and going into the banquet hall. As one of the four prominent families, many people were flattering and talking with the Calshaw family. Gradually, Lucia left without a trace. Kelvin did not even notice her absence.

In the past, she always thought that it was reasonable for him to ignore her because he had worked hard for their future.

She had always been finding excuses for him...

Lucia turned around and walked towards the backyard.

Sure enough, she didn't like noisy places. As soon as she arrived in the backyard, she felt much more relaxed. But at that moment...

"Ms. Balstone." The sudden voice frightened her.

She turned around and saw a man walk out of the darkness.

He was in a cold-gray suit, a white shirt, and a silver-gray tie. He was gorgeous, and even a glimpse of him was enough to amaze people.

Lucia subtly shifted her gaze away and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm waiting for Ms. Balstone here." Alonso raised the corners of his mouth.

What was he waiting for?

What's more, how did he know she was coming to the backyard?

"Is there something you need from me?" Lucia asked him without batting an eyelid.

"Give me back the card!" Alonso said bluntly.

Lucia's expression changed slightly.

Sure enough, she couldn't hold too much hope for this guy.

She said, "Isn't it always generous to women?"

"So Ms. Balstone is reminding me that you're already my woman?" Alonso grinned evilly.

At that moment, his handsome face approached with a threatening momentum, which made people feel a sense of oppression and danger.

Lucia avoided him.

Alonso laughed sloppily.

"Stud," Lucia said grumpily. "I left it at home. I'll give it back to you next time!"

After that, she turned around and was ready to leave.

In her second life, her purpose was obvious. She did not intend to give herself too much time to relax, so she also needed to learn how to engage in social activities.

At that moment, she saw Kelvin coming out of the banquet hall.

He seemed to have discovered that she was not by his side, so he came out to look for her.

When he saw her, his expression was not happy. Maybe he thought she should stay with him quietly when he did anything.

However, in the next second, he could instantly turn into another gentle and elegant person. He said in a soft tone, "Why you came out alone? I can't find you in the hall, and I was worried about you."

"I come out to get some fresh air. I'm planning to go back," Lucia said with a faint smile.

"Next time, let me accompany you." Kelvin held her in his arms intimately.

Lucia felt slightly uncomfortable, especially when she realized Alonso was watching her.

She couldn't tell what was in his mind when he was watching her. In short... she had a sense of guilt.

It was clear.

They were just partners.

Kelvin also noticed Alonso's gaze. He was still gentle. He even took the initiative to reach out and greet him. "Mr. Callen is here? Long time no see."

Alonso glanced at Kelvin and did not reach out his hand.

He walked past them arrogantly and said, "Mr. Calshaw's fiancee is stunning. You have to protect her carefully."
