Chapter 282 A Trap
Chapter 282 A Trap
On the side of the hall where the party was held, there was a staircase winding up. The second floor was a leisure area. The floor-to-ceiling window could see the hall on the first floor clearly, while the outside could not see the inside.
Two men stood by the glass window, watching what was going on down there.
Seeing that John was about to make a move, Adrian couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "John, your sister might do something bad to you again. She must go to make trouble for Nina."
John frowned and stared at Nina and Noah, especially Nina's hand which was around Noah's arm.
It was really annoying.
Seeing that John didn't change his expression, Adrian continued to tease him, "John, you are so calm. Today's banquet is specially set up for you and Nina. As your brother-in-law, Leon is not easy to deal with. I think it's difficult for you to be a son-in-law of C Island."
When Leon found him, Adrian knew who Nina was. Adrian was so scared that he almost fell to the ground.
John was so awesome. He married a princess of a country and the richest C Island's princess in the world.
John was really awesome.
Of course, John knew the purpose of the banquet. Adrian just said nonsense.
If Leon was easy to deal with, how could John not go down and hold his wife in his arms but let her hold Noah's arm?
John felt wronged.
"John, your brother-in-law is deliberately targeting you." Adrian pointed at May and asked, "Have you seen that woman? Her name is May Su, a famous movie star. She came here to act with money under the instructions of your brother-in-law. "
With his long and narrow eyes, John watched Jessica approach Nina step by step. John was about to turn around and go downstairs.
Seeing this, Adrian immediately stopped him, "John, what are you doing? You can't go downstairs. Your brother-in-law is watching in the next room. The whole hall is under his surveillance. He asked me to keep you here because he didn't want you to break his plan. "
"Get out of my way." There was a cold expression on John's face. This was the first time he had spoken here for an hour, and it was a deterrent that allowed no one to refuse.
Adrian shook his head and blocked the door, "No, I can't let you go. It's your brother-in-law's order."
"Do you listen to him?" The expression on John's face was still cold.
"I have to listen to him. He now determines my position in Song Group. Although our family used to have some small business dealings with C Island, it was really small. Now he came to me and solved a lot of difficulties for me. He let me stay steady in Song Group all of a sudden. I must listen to him. " With his eyes closed, Adrian spoke out his reason.
He hoped John could understand him.
"I always think that Albert is a ruthless person. It was not until I took over the company that I found that Albert knew how to treat worthy men with courtesy and many people in the company were loyal to him that Albert made Song Group prosper.
Of course, he is also very cruel. He is usually a man of mixed kindness and prestige. No one in the whole company dares to play tricks on him, they all respect and fear him. Everyone is reserved. These are what I can't do. "
At the mention of Albert, Adrian suddenly admired Albert. Thinking of Albert's death, Adrian felt sad and guilty. He had hurt Albert in his heart when Albert was a child.
"If you give him a few more years, he will become a legend just like you, but... The point is that I'm going to take over Song Group now. Everyone is polite to me in public, but they don't trust me in secret. They think I'm cynical and incompetent. " Adrian kept complaining in front of John.
"It's not easy for me to gain the help of C Island and gain a foothold in Song Group. If you go down now, they will withdraw their investment and break the contract. They don't care about the liquidated damages of hundreds of millions at all, but my status is not guaranteed and I will suffer a disastrous decline." Adrian looked at John pitifully, regardless of his image as a CEO.
John shook his head and felt ashamed to look at Adrian.
John's expression softened.
It meant that he couldn't go downstairs.
Adrian was so moved that he wanted to cry. He just wanted to have a try, but he didn't expect that John would care about his feelings.
Everyone around John knew that John always put Nina first, and there was no exception.
Now Adrian was an exception.
Adrian was really moved.
"She can handle it. After all, she is my wife." John said proudly but there was still a flash of worry in his eyes.
Adrian was speechless...
It turned out that John was not for him.
Nina was indeed the first place in his heart.
It was all because John believed in Nina's ability, not because of Adrian at all.
This recognition made Adrian's mood rise and fall like a roller coaster. He was moved to tears before, but now the corners of his mouth twitched in anger.
The two of them returned to the glass window, only to see that Jessica was stopped by Vivian. She whispered a few words in Jessica's ear, and then Jessica didn't go forward.
John had just made Adrian so angry that Adrian was in a bad mood. Adrian wanted to make John anger and said, "John, there must be something wrong with the dinner party today, and it will be either caused by your sister or by Vivian.
"Well... Your brother-in-law is very protective and ruthless. The one who bullies Nina later may lost all her or his dignity." Adrian shook his head and felt sorry for John for a second. "Leon probably wants to force you to make a choice between Shi family and Nina."
John knew all of these.
The only thing John prayed for now was that no matter how others attacked Nina, Shi family would not come out and against Nina.
It was possible that those who targeted Nina were all actors arranged by Leon. Leon was deliberately provoking conflict and digging a hole for them.
In the hall on the first floor.
The music was changed to The Blue Danube, and the classic and beautiful waltz melody began to ring slowly.
The sound came from the invisible earphones that Nina and Noah were wearing. Leon said to the two, "Noah, you can invite Ninja to dance a waltz now." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
With her beautiful eyes slightly open, Nina asked, "Leon, what on earth do you want to do?"
"Ninja, listen to me." Leon coaxed her gently. "I won't hurt you. Just take Noah as your brother and dance with him."
Of course, Nina was sure that her brother wouldn't hurt her. However, her brother had deliberately set up something she didn't know at the dinner party. Was Leon sure that the innocent wouldn't be hurt?
"Leon, what if my husband misunderstands me?" Nina said in a low voice.
"No, he won't. He's with me. He knows it." The next room was right next to Leon. Leon didn't think he was lying.
"What? What are you two planning? " Nina was really confused.
With a gentle smile at the corners of his mouth, Noah looked up at the second floor. Although Noah couldn't see anything, he seemed to have guessed it.
If this was to make Ninja happy, he would accompany Ninja to finish the play tonight.
"Mrs. Nina, can I invite you to dance?" Noah was dressed in a black suit. His crew cut hair made him look steady. The bowknot and tie made him look like a gentleman. His gentle smile was really irresistible.
The suit Noah was wearing was personally chosen by Nina, and she thought it suited him at the first sight. In this way, he looked younger and more handsome, and also had a reserved temperament.
Nina reached out her hand and said, "Of course, Mr. Noah."
The two smiled at each other and merged into the center of the dancing floor.
There were a lot of people dancing with the music, including James, Emma, Harrison and Adela. The four were very close, as if they were competing on purpose.
Nina could clearly feel several pairs of eyes shooting back and forth on her body. There were goodwill, malice, and even unpredictable meaning.
Jessica clenched her teeth, disgust written in her eyes.
With a smile on her face, Vivian thought that the good play would come later. She had to find a way today to kill two birds with one stone.
Dealt with Noah and Nina together.
