Chapter 1007 Unexpected Invitation (2/2)
His self-esteem as a man had been dealt a deep blow, but Darren was an expert at hiding his resentment. Having been trapped in a wheelchair for the past few years, he had often been discriminated against and treated like this. He was used to it by now, but he still felt resentful. Everyone who had ever questioned him, who had ever looked down on him, would not end well, including Dina! Darren did not forget, and he certainly did not forgive!

”Miss Bai, this is an invitation that my president asked me to bring to you. The host of this party is Jacob Gu. You should be looking forward to seeing him, right?”
Hearing Jacob's name again, Emily suddenly felt like it had been ages since he had been mentioned. No one in the Ke Family had dared to say his name to her, because they were afraid that she would feel sad. Not speaking about him made her feel as if Jacob had died and left her life for good.

”Darren Xu of the KING Group!”
Darren?
Hearing his name, Emily subconsciously crumpled the invitation in her hand and looked at the assistant with even more vigilance. She had always thought that Darren was cruel and brutal, and knew that she should not trust him.
”Miss Bai, this present is a dress carefully prepared for you by our president. He said there will be a surprise waiting for you at the party!”
The assistant handed the gift to the housekeeper standing behind Emily. Even though Emily had a lot of questions, the assistant left before she could ask any of them.
