At 6 in the evening, a black Rolls-Royce stopped at the hotel.
Jameson Proctor got off the car, walked to the other side of it and pulled the door open, offering a hand
to the person inside.
Sharon softly smiled and accepted the hand.She got off the car, holding her long dress.She was in a
light purple dress tonight, under which her skin looked even brighter and more fair.
And around her neck was a small but exquisite necklace which, if you look closely, resembled a pocket
watch.
They entered the hotel, with Sharon holding Jameson's arm.
The guests behind all looked curiously and couldn't help but started talking about them.
"That couple, aren't they Mr.Proctor and his ex.....and his girlfriend?"
"I always heard that she was beautiful.Now that I finally see her in person.She's prettier than those
movie stars!"
"They look like a perfect couple.Why did they get divorced?"
"You don't know? She faked pregnancy in order to marry into the Proctor.It's no news! They got
divorced because of it!"
"It doesn't make sense.Then why did Mr.Proctor start pursuing her again?"
"The more you know.This ex-wife of his has a long history.I heard she was even sold to the Twilight
Club."
The man lowered his voice, "And rumor has it that it was her father who sold her.That's how she met
Mr.Proctor.But you know how it is between men and women.It took just one night, and she was banging
the Proctor's door"
"But you still haven't said why Mr.Proctor started pursuing her."
"What's the hurry? I haven't finished yet.Do you remember last year when they called off the marriage
with Natalia Beale? I told you, the Beale were not happy with a bast*rd son.They thought he didn't
deserve Natalia.That was why the marriage never happened."
"And then?"
"And then, that ex-wife of Mr.Proctor found Talon Beale.Can you believe it? She said she was the long
lost daughter of Talon Beale, and she even had a token.
Talon Beale would not believe it, but she really had his dead wife's belonging, and with Mr.Jones's
approval, so Talon Beale had no choice but to accept her into the Beale's.
The man took a minute to catch his breath and then continued, "Now you tell me, how could he not be
moved knowing that his ex-wife was the real heiress of the Beale Group! When he marries her, he
marries the Beale Group! You have to give respect to this man.He's at a whole different level, having
the Beale Group wrapped around his finger!"
After finishing speaking, he noticed a dead silence around him, and the people gossiping around had
all disappeared or stood so far from him.
It was a horrifying quietness.
He turned around with fear and met a smiling face.
William Hood opened his mouth nonchalantly, "Cool story."
",..Mr...Mr.Hood."
"Jameson would laugh and clap so hard if he heard such an inspiring story about him."
"I.....I heard everything from others.I didn't make the story up, and I don't mean to insult him in any
shape or form.I'm just....."
Dean Wilson crowded over as well, speaking in a friendly tone, "Spreading rumors is a crime.The
maximum sentence is 3 years.I could offer you a discount if you'd like."
Inside the banquet hall.
Sharon and Jameson saw Talon Beale talking to Mr.Jones when they walked in.
So they approached to greet them, "Mr.Jones, Mr.Beale."
Jones nodded with a smile but he was not so pleased to see Jameson, "I see Mr.Proctor is also here."
"..."
'Should I not be here?' He thought.
Trey Coe arrived too as they were talking.He stood himself next to Jones.
Jameson excused himself, "I need to use the washroom" He took Sharon with him as well.
"Why are you taking me as well?" She complained.
"You wanna stay there with Trey Coe alone?"
'You're actually jealous?' Sharon thought, 'And how is that alone? There are at least hundreds of
people in the hall.I can't be alone with him even if I wanted to.Actually, Jameson didn't go to the
washroom.It was simply an excuse to take her somewhere with fewer people around.
"So you're not gonna allow me to see him ever again?"
She added, "I mean, in occasions like this one?"
Jameson took a glass of champagne from the waiter, "The less, the better.Occasions like this can be
avoided as well"
"Why do you hate him so much? It's not like “
"You've gone and seen his parents already! If I hadn't shown up, you'd probably have gotten married by
now.
"You still remember things from that long ago?"
'And they say WOMEN always remember? Men are just the same” Sharon thought.
"Yeah, I can remember from hundreds of years ago, when you and that....."
Jameson didn't say the name.
Sharon couldn't help laughing.
'So that's how jealous he is.He can't even mention his name"
In fact, she had broken up with Martin Morton three years ago.
Even after her divorce, she'd never thought about getting together with him.
'What a sad little man!' Sharon then protested, "I live with your former Fiancée, and you don't see me
complain about it" Jameson argued, "Who do you think I do this for?"
"Oh what a nice argument!"
"Of course."
William and Dean approached them during the conversation, "You guys are still bickering? I won't be
surprised if more gossips get around after tonight"
"What are you talking about?"
William answered, "Nothing.Just uh....how you climbed the ladder?"
Dean waved at Sharon, "It's been a while.Find me when you want a divorce in the future, OK? I'll do it
for free."
As everyone was joking around merrily, the celebration event finally began.
Talon Beale was invited on stage to speak in some corporate official cliches, followed by a round of
applause.
"The show is about to begin." William said.
Jameson replied, "Well, he's not the only director tonight."
Listening to their conversation, Sharon pouted and turned around to look at Talon Beale.
