His Dangerous Love

Chapter 26 Alicia's Jealousy

Chapter 26 Alicia's Jealousy

As the center of attention, Alicia captivated everyone in the room.

She faced the guests with an air of arrogance, devoid of any smiles.

It was only with the help of Brett that she managed to leave a positive impression.

Once the guests had departed, Brett contemplated, "Ms. Gibson, this is Oakpool's elite society. It's important to show them respect."

Alicia scoffed, "What's so special about them? Why should I please anyone?"

Brett wanted to say more, but Alicia interrupted, "Enough! Let's not bother with those people. What about Jefferson? Hasn't he arrived yet?"

Knowing that Alicia had organized this banquet for Jefferson, Brett naturally kept an eye out for him.

"Jefferson has indeed arrived, but I haven't seen him for quite some time. I'm not sure if he has left," Brett replied.

"Left?"

Alicia's tone escalated abruptly.

"Impossible! He couldn't have just left without saying a word!"

"Could he be involved with someone?" Brett speculated.

"Hmm..." Brett hesitated.

"Tell me now! Who did he interact with?" Alicia demanded angrily.

Unable to resist her, Brett told the truth. "During the banquet, a model approached Jefferson. Later, he had a conversation with Nola Gentry."

"How dare she approach Jeff? Find someone to teach her a lesson! And as for Nola..." Alicia seethed with jealousy.

"Ms. Gibson," Brett advised, "Nola is a respected lady. This is not Elfold; we should be cautious."

Alicia's beautiful face contorted with jealousy. "If this were Elfold, I would make sure they regret it!"

"Let's deal with the model first. I'll address Nola Gentry later," Alicia decided.

"Understood."

Brett turned to leave, but after a few steps, he suddenly heard a familiar name.

...

"Have you seen Elianna?"

Asher asked several people, yet received no leads. His suspicions grew stronger.

Just as he contemplated returning to the dressing room, a stranger appeared before him.

"Are you looking for Ms. Gentry?" Brett asked.

Impatient, Asher replied, "Yes, have you seen her?"

Brett smiled. "She was called away by her sister."

After a few more inquiries, Asher's heart finally settled.

His suspicions were confirmed; Jefferson could never be involved with Elianna.

With his mind put at ease, he could now focus on the person standing before him. "Who are you?"

"I'm Brett, here with Alicia," Brett introduced himself.

Pausing for a moment, Brett continued, "You must be Mr. Asher."

Surprised, Asher asked, "You know me?"

"I've heard of you. In Elfold, I've heard that the younger generation of the Larsen family are exceptional, especially you, who have achieved remarkable success at such a young age within the Larsen Group."

Asher, who had often been overlooked, felt a surge of happiness upon receiving Brett's praise.

His arrogance lessened instantly. "You flatter me."

"Mr. Asher is too modest," Brett replied smoothly.

He skillfully engaged in conversation with Asher, subtly inquiring about Elianna's story.

Unaware of his probing, Asher even happily exchanged business cards with Brett. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

No sooner had Brett left than Elianna called.

Asher's enthusiasm waned as he sternly questioned, "Where are you?"

"I accidentally spilled some wine on my dress, so I'm changing," Elianna explained.

"Changing your dress?" Asher pondered. "Weren't you called away by Nola?"

There was a pause on the other end before she replied, "I asked my sister to accompany me."

If Asher had paid closer attention to Elianna, he would have noticed a subtle difference.

Brett had mentioned that Elianna had already been called away by Nola.

But now, Elianna told him that she asked Nola to accompany her.
