Chapter 174: Who Does Wayne Care About More?
She must keep a distance from other men!
He’s clever, using her having a boyfriend as an excuse!
Elara Don sneered, "Other men, including you. So, Mr. Hawke, stay out of my private affairs because you’re not qualified."
He’s not qualified!
He’s her boyfriend!
How is he not qualified?
The male lead’s jaw tightened, eyes darkened.
Elara Don ignored him and turned to Benjamin Harper, "Benjamin Harper, how are you?"
"I’m fine."
Benjamin Harper shook his head, touched his wounded lip, feeling almost scorched by someone’s gaze.
"Your face is swollen, I should take you to the hospital."
Elara Don responded worriedly.
"Really, no need."
"Then I’ll get the medicine box."
"..."
Seeing Elara Don caring deeply for Benjamin Harper, Damon Hawke couldn’t control his anger anymore.
He strode forward, pulled her over, and took off the bothersome men’s suit on her, replacing it with his own jacket.
"Elly, I’m forbidding you from getting close to other men because..."
He wanted to reveal the truth.
Wanted to tell her, he is her boyfriend, Thomas King.
He didn’t want to see her caring for other men.
However, he hesitated.
Right now, Elara Don was obviously prejudiced against him.
Once he revealed his identity, could their relationship really improve?
Uncertain!
Elara Don pressed her lips together, watching Damon Hawke, a conflicted light flickered in his eyes, her lips formed a sneer.
What was he trying to say?
Was he going to tell her he’s Thomas King, her supposed boyfriend?
Why didn’t he continue?
Is it because he’s afraid?
Elara Don moved her lips, wanting to retaliate with a few words.
But out of the corner of her eye, a figure seemed to flash by.
She glanced lightly, seeing a fluttering woman’s skirt.
It was Evelyn Miles outside!
Elara Don’s eyes shifted slightly, suddenly reaching out to stroke Damon Hawke’s face, "Why don’t you continue? Because of what? Because you love me? Is that why you don’t want me near other men?"
She had said, the man she wouldn’t want, Evelyn Miles shouldn’t touch either!
Elara Don’s sudden action made Damon Hawke slightly stunned.
He stared at her, subconsciously nodded, "Yes."
"Then what’s going on between you and Evelyn Miles? If you had to choose, who would you pick?"
Elara Don asked deliberately.
Damon Hawke didn’t even think, "Of course I’d choose you! Elly, Evelyn and I are already a thing of the past."
"Is that so? But she doesn’t seem to think so!"
Elara Don withdrew her hand, eyes flickering with a dark light, "Mr. Hawke, if you want to pursue someone, do it with sincerity. Please take care of your entanglements first."
Evelyn Miles should’ve heard that!
Annoy her a bit first!
After speaking, Elara Don pulled away his hand, "Alright, I’m tired, I need to go back."
Damon Hawke watched her turn around, wanting to follow.
"I’ll take you."
"No need."
Elara Don flatly refused, "Mr. Hawke, if you don’t want me to be more annoyed with you, don’t follow me."
Currently she’s in a bad mood, not wanting to see his face at all!
Damon Hawke’s steps paused, watching Elara Don exit the private room door, eyes fixed.
Were her words just now giving him a glimmer of hope?
Is it as long as he clarifies things with Evelyn Miles, she’d let him pursue her?
But, he and Evelyn Miles were never anything anyway!
"Damon, your meeting gift for me was a bit much."
A voice from behind was Benjamin Harper speaking.
Damon Hawke turned to glance at him, his eyes slightly cold.
"Benjamin, you just..."
"Damon, you misunderstood, I just saw Miss Thorne fell into the water, kindly brought her up to change clothes, just now helping her wear earrings."
Benjamin Harper quickly explained.
Damon Hawke fixed his eyes on him, "Benjamin, you’re a big star, you need to avoid misunderstandings more than others, hope you won’t do such actions in the future."
Helping her wear earrings?
Does he need to act so intimate?
Outside.
Hiding in the corner, Evelyn Miles heard the conversation between Damon Hawke and Elara Don, her face twisted with anger.
Elara Don, that bitch, what right does she have to demand what Damon Hawke does!
She can’t possibly let Damon Hawke cut ties with herself!
...
Elsewhere.
Leia Quinn had drunk quite a lot, feeling nauseous in the bathroom.
Not sure if it’s nausea from seeing Craig Landers entangled with Selena Taylor, or just from drinking too much.
Craig Landers, that jerk.
Who asked him to take her to meet friends?
To her, his actions now were just an attempt to cover up the truth.
Trying to find a replacement urgently, using her as a shield.
In his heart, he still can’t let go of Selena Taylor, right!
Leia Quinn retched again, splashed cold water on her face, took a deep breath, and staggered back.
No fun.
She wanted to go back with Elara Don.
Leia Quinn took out her phone, intending to call Elara Don.
But the phone was dead.
Leia Quinn cursed internally, planning to find Elara Don in the banquet hall.
At this moment, Selena Taylor blocked her way.
"Leia Quinn, don’t think just because Wayne introduced you to everyone, you can consider yourself his girlfriend. His reputation for being a womanizer is well known, if you don’t want to get hurt emotionally, I advise you to leave him early."
The woman raised her chin high, with a face full of cold arrogance.
Her chin was sharp, face typical of an oval shape.
Her almond eyes slightly tilted, even without smiling, carrying a hint of allure.
She’s a delicate beauty, pitiable as she is.
It’s no wonder Craig Landers never forgets her.
Leia Quinn stared at her, inexplicably annoyed.
"Miss Taylor, aren’t you overly concerned with your little uncle? But then, as the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, your concern over Wayne’s marriage makes sense."
Eldest sister-in-law like a mother.
That was an insinuation, she’s just Craig Landers’ sister-in-law now.
Don’t overstep!
Selena Taylor’s expression fluctuated.
"Leia Quinn, don’t be ungrateful, I’m just reminding you as a fellow woman."
"Really? We’re not familiar, I don’t need Miss Taylor to worry about my affairs."
Leia Quinn casually retorted, combing her hair.
Having said that, she intended to pass her.
Selena Taylor’s chest heaved.
From her peripheral vision, she saw Craig Landers nearby, looking around, her eyes suddenly lit up.
She stepped forward, grabbed Leia Quinn, smilingly.
"Leia Quinn, want to make a bet? If both of us fall down the stairs, who do you think Wayne would be more concerned for?"
With that, before Leia Quinn could react, Selena Taylor exerted force, pulling her hard.
Behind them was the spiral staircase.
Leia Quinn felt her body suddenly lose weight!
In her ears, Selena Taylor’s startled scream echoed.
Leia Quinn cursed a profanity internally, as the world spun, she had already tumbled down the stairs.
Pain!
It’s all over!
Selena Taylor, that big white lotus, she wanted to tear her apart!
