Milani grinned gleefully from ear to ear when she saw
all the people staring at him. She was determined to
humiliate him as revenge for what happened at the
project site.
To her surprise, however, Emmanuel retorted with a
smile, “Shouldn’t you be getting yourself checked out
at the gynecology department? If a person like you is
allowed to come here, then I see no problem with me
being here.”
Everyone began murmuring among themselves when
they heard that.
The men, in particular, let their imaginations run wild
as they discussed how Milani must’ve looked when
Emmanuel examined her body.
Milani’s face burned bright red as she shouted, “Don’t
listen to him! I have never been examined by him! He’s
just making stuff up!”
Since Milani was trying to humiliate Emmanuel,
Roselynn decided to return the favor. “Heh… He
wouldn’t be interested in you even if you were standing
stark naked in front of him! Now, I recall a certain
someone showing up at our house asking to marry this
gynecologist!”
“N–Nonsense! I would never want to marry a loser like
him!” Milani protested, but her desperation only made
her seem even more guilty.
Most of the onlookers assumed she was simply
mocking Emmanuel out of jealousy. Some of them
even thought Roselynn was Emmanuel’s girlfriend. Is
this a battie between his ex and his current girlfriend?
Not wanting to waste any more of their time and
energy on Milani, Emmanuel and Roselynn continued
eating and hunting for single, handsome men at the
banquet.
In order to add insult to injury, Roselynn even flashed
Milani a smug grin as they walked past her. You think
you can win against me? Ha! You’re a hundred years
too early!
Emmanuel and Roselynn were having a great time
enjoying the food when a guy called out from behind,
“Long time no see, Roselynn!”
Roselynn turned around in response, only to frown
when she saw who it was.
Emmanuel, too, had displeasure written all over his novelbin
face as he recognized the guy.
That’s Chase Parker! He’s about six feet tall, looks rather
handsome, and has a wealthy family background.
Roselynn used to have a crush on him back when she
was in university, and the two of them ended up dating
each other. He was Roselynn’s first love. However, she
caught him cheating on her not long after they started
dating, so she broke up with him on the spot. Roselynn
never dated anyone after that. I’m pretty sure it has
something to do with her past relationship. It probably
traumatized her deeply.
“Mister, do you mind if I speak to Roselynn in private?”
Instead of feeling awkward after being ignored by
Roselynn, Chase shamelessly asked Emmanuel to
leave them.
A poor guy like him doesn’t deserve to be with
Roselynn!
Emmanuel nearly burst out laughing when he realized
that Chase didn’t know they were siblings. Since Chase
assumed he was courting Roselynn, Emmanuel
decided to play along and said, “And why should I let
you have this beautiful woman over here? She’s the
most perfect woman I’ve ever met!”
He wanted to make Chase regret cheating on a pretty
woman like Roselynn.
Chase let out a disdainful chuckle as he placed a
stack of cash in front of Emmanuel and said, “Judging
by your outfit, I’d say you’re not a guest at this
banquet. Here’s a tip for you. Now, buzz off before you
lose your job!”
Because Emmanuel’s plain attire made him look out of
place among all the guests on the third floor, Chase
mistook him for a waiter.
Amused, Emmanuel was about to say something in
response when Milani exclaimed in the distance, “Look!
That’s Mr. Doyle!”
Even Roselynn couldn’t help glancing in that direction.
What’s going on? Did some big shot CEO show up or
something?
Moments later, a burly man in a military uniform made
his way toward them with his head slightly raised.
There were two other guys from wealthy families
following closely behind him.
That man was Keegan Doyle. Despite looking rather
mature, he was only twenty–seven years old. He held
the rank of junior lieutenant in Yeringham’s military
base.
His father was a lieutenant colonel in the military, and
his mother was a government official in Yeringham.
Although her position was not as high as Mackenzie’s
aunt, she still wielded a fair amount of power.
Therefore, Keegan was the epitome of a prominent
scion in Yeringham and had made a name for himself.
Naturally, he became a prime target for those who
wanted to butter him up the moment he showed up at
the banquet on the third floor.
However, Roselynn was not interested in tanned,
muscular men and stopped paying attention to him
after a few seconds.
Everyone began looking forward to a good show when
they saw Keegan walking toward Roselynn.
Milani, too, noticed from the look in Keegan’s eyes that
he seemed to have taken an interest in Roselynn.
At first, she was disappointed in the fact that Keegan
wasn’t into her.
However, her lips curled into an expectant smile when
she realized something.
Mr. Doyle doesn’t know that Emmanuel is Roselynn’s
brother, and she doesn’t seem to be interested in
muscular men like him either. Oh, this is going to be
interesting!
Emmanuel and Roselynn were chatting away at the
time, so they didn’t pay attention to Keegan at all.
Chase had an awkward look on his face after
Emmanuel completely ignored his attempts at
showing off.
Right when he thought things couldn’t get any worse,
Keegan strode over to them and loomed over them
like a mountain.
“Is that really you, Rosie? It’s so good to see you here!
We have a lot of catching up to do!” Keegan exclaimed
while keeping his scorching gaze fixated on Roselynn,
ignoring Emmanuel and Chase completely.
“Huh? You’re Keegan? As in, my junior from university?”
Roselynn paused for a few seconds before recalling
what happened in university years ago.
She was in her final year of university when a guy three
years younger than her tried to court her.
Roselynn didn’t like muscular men, so she rejected him
without even knowing his name and identity.
It wasn’t until Keegan called her “Rosie” that she
realized he was that same guy.
“Haha! Technically, I wasn’t your junior. I was actually
an instructor at the university!”
Keegan got really excited when he saw that Roselynn
still remembered him.
Not only is Roselynn curvy in all the right places, but
she also has a charming personality and exudes a
feminine charm!
Keegan then frowned as he shouted at Emmanuel and
Chase, “Get lost, you two! I want to have a private
conversation with Rosie!”
Although Chase felt incredibly insulted, he didn’t dare
argue with Keegan because of the latter’s powerful
background.
Keegan then held Roselynn’s hand and tried to
forcefully shove Emmanuel aside without regard for
manners at all.
Noticing the helpless look in Roselynn’s eyes,
Emmanuel shoved Keegan back and asked with a
sneer, “I found her first, so why should I let you have
her?”
Chase may not have the guts to offend this guy, but I
do!
Everyone at the scene gasped in shock when they saw
that.
“Who the f*ck are you?”
Keegan was a vulgar man. Though he was able to put
on an elegant facade in front of Roselynn, he was
quick to drop his polite act and reveal his true colors
when faced with another guy.
