According to the Weiss Family rules, strict punishment was to be meted out to disobedient servants.
Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly and grabbed the cell phone next to him to make a phone call. “Come over right now.”
The bodyguard drove the car over, and Arthur got in after pulling open the door. “Head over to the banquet hall.”
Ten minutes later, they arrived outside the banquet hall, and Arthur got out of the car. His bodyguard attempted to trail after him, but Arthur stopped him. “You can go back now.”
“Young Master!” The bodyguard was concerned about Arthur‘s safety.
“Just go back.” Arthur wanted to go inside by himself.
In the end, the bodyguard stood by the side and mentioned, “Young Master, we’ll wait for you here.”
Arthur didn’t bother to respond as he tucked one hand into his pocket and walked toward the direction of the banquet hall. At that moment, a woman had just gotten out of a golf cart, and she was drawn to that figure.
Although she only saw the man from the back, she was deeply drawn to him. The woman that had just arrived was Katrina, and she had dolled up before attending the party. Her main purpose was to gain the attention of several men and then make use of her feminine wiles to seduce them after the wedding.
The people in attendance tonight were either the Presgraves extended family or their prestigious guests, so she definitely didn’t want to let this chance go to waste.
She hurriedly sashayed toward the attractive strapping figure, and the black shirt he had on enhanced his sense of mystery.
His back is so mesmerizing, so his actual features must be quite good-looking too, huh? I hope his looks won’t be
disappointing. Katrina held high hopes.
Inside the ballroom, the band had just ended their performance, and it was time for the dancing session.
The lights were dimmed and there was a ring of light in the center of the room
that resembled the beams of moonlight.
Arthur stepped into the banquet hall, and he instantly noticed the group of people by the side of the dance pool. At a glance, he found Sophia instantly.
The person standing next to her was the young man who had sought her out the last time. From their expressions, they seem to be happily engrossed in conversation.
Arthur kept a low profile and took a glass of red wine from one of the waitstaff. Subsequently, he took a seat by the couch on the side.
As soon as Katrina entered the room, she was amazed to see the man holding a wine glass on the couch.
Indeed, he had not disappointed her. This man was more than just good
looking; he resembled a regal noble who had just walked out of a castle. He had perfectly delicate features, and yet his charming masculinity was evident. He sat there with an air of aloofness that kept the crowd away from him.
Katrina took a glass of red wine and sat down on the couch next to him. She wanted to take the chance to approach him.
Meanwhile, Sophia didn’t turn around, so she was oblivious to the fact that he had arrived. At that moment, the young men and women invited each other to enjoy a dance.
Naturally, Jacob was keen to invite Sophia for a dance too. However, two of his friends purposely wrestled each other and took the opportunity to bump into Sophia. Somehow, they exerted enough force to push her into Jacob’s arms.
Jacob instantly took the chance to wrap his arms around her waist, and he smiled while chiding his friends, “You guys have to stop this banter, Sophia’s frightened by all that.”
After he had said that, he patted her shoulder and asked gently, “Sophia, I hope you weren’t injured by their antics.”
Evidently, she didn’t realize that they did that intentionally, so she quickly got up to her feet and said, “I’m fine.”
However, the current situation was caught by the man sitting opposite them, and he saw everything clearly. This silly girl doesn’t even know that she’s like a little prey ensnared in their trap and that she’s in danger.
At that moment, Jacob noticed that everyone seemed to be heading toward the dance pool in pairs, so he glanced at Sophia pleadingly. “Sophia, could you be my partner for the night and join me for a dance?”
“I-I’m not a good dancer.” Sophia blinked. In fact, she knew how to dance, but she was too shy to join a guy she had just met for a dance.
“That’s alright, I can lead you. Could you just join me for this dance?” Jacob stretched out his hand at her.
At times, she found it quite hard to reject someone, especially when Jacob directed a tender and expectant look at her. It felt as if it would be quite rude of her if she rejected him.
She hesitated for a moment before
nodding. “Alright then!” However, she didn’t place her hand into his outstretched hand instantly. Instead, she headed to the dance pool by the side. At that moment, there was a flash of joy in Jacob’s eyes as he thought, I can finally get to hold her hand!
