251 Sheila Nali (1/2)

Kanae and Laura walked into the hall. Laura's eyes darted around as she checked the inside of the mansion. There was a lot of change in the furniture, but the layout of the building didn't change at all. Well, that was quite obvious as changing the building would mean they needed to break down the walls and all.

The hall shimmered in gold and was filled with decoration that congratulated Sakura for becoming 18 years old. In addition to that, there were several hanging chandeliers that suspended from the ceiling that shone down on the entire room with gold and white.

Her eyes locked onto the woman standing at the very center. Immediately, a trace of fury appeared in her eyes. She would never accept that woman no matter what happens.

”Let's eat a bit,” Kanae pointed to the side.

Laura nodded her head. Although the party hadn't yet officially started, there were still quite a few guests. If she suddenly disappeared from the hall, there might be some people who notice and become suspicious.

The two of them munched on some food before Kanae separated herself from Laura. This was included in the plan as they have to make sure no one knew that they were together. With Laura's appearance, it was easy for her to attract the attention of the boys.

”Hello, do you want to dance?”

”Wow, you're gorgeous. Do you mind if I ask you to dance?”

”I asked first.”

”I'm more handsome than you.”

Kanae shook her head lightly as she heard the boys fight for the right to dance with Laura. In any case, Laura was already used to these situations, so she didn't have to worry about her sister too much. Of course, if Laura needed help, she would not hesitate to help her.

For Kanae, this kind of party was only important for her to fill her belly. There were numerous delicacies that she usually couldn't eat, so this was the perfect time to fill her belly.

”You look as plain as ever, Kevin's secretary.”

She turned around at the voice of someone familiar to her. In front of her, Sheila was standing with a hand on her hip. She was wearing a short sleeveless gown. The gown was clad in gold layers of faint glittering satin. For someone who loved to wear sparkly and revealing clothes, it suited Sheila very much.

It has been some time since the last time Kanae saw Sheila. However, she could sense that this girl was still as competitive as ever. It seemed like Sheila was still trying to seduce more rich boys to be her partner. That was totally her style.

”It has been some time, Miss Sheila,” Kanae answered politely.

Sheila nodded her head. She still didn't like Kanae because the latter caused her plan to get close to Kevin to go straight down the drain. However, she wouldn't cause trouble outright as she was already lectured greatly by her father for almost destroying the company.

Because of that, she wouldn't try to be like Amanda and perform cheap tricks. Instead, she would make her way slowly but surely to ensure that she would not lose.

”I guess we're now part of the same family,” she raised her left hand, which had a beautiful diamond ring on her ring finger.

”Congratulations,” Kanae smiled. She didn't know which man fell for this woman, but she pitied him. In Sheila's eyes, he must be no more than a stepping stone for her to become the most powerful and richest woman in the city.

Sheila nodded her head. ”I thought you would make progress with that cold man, but I guess I was wrong.”

Well, Kanae never tried to seduce Kevin. Still, it didn't change the fact that she was starting to feel attracted to him lately. Somehow, she wanted to stay by his side even if they were not working.

Shaking her head, Kanae erased those thoughts. They were not important right now. She looked at Sheila vigilantly. ”Is there anything you want to say, Miss Sheila?”

”I heard about your situation, and I have to say that you're quite fortunate that the rules of this family allow you to live freely,” Sheila smiled. ”However, I believe that you shouldn't be stuck in that position, so I think I can help you out.”
