CHAPTER 187: CHAPTER 187: HE SEEMS A BIT DIFFERENT 7

Matthew Morgan stared at Chloe Grant for a while, before finally withdrawing his gaze and lowering his head to type on the keyboard.

After typing a few keystrokes, he closed the laptop and tossed it aside.

His movements were casual, and his face showed little expression, making it impossible for anyone to discern his opinion on Chloe Grant’s outfit.

It made people feel very tense.

Especially Chloe Grant, who was more eager to know what effect her new outfit would have in Matthew Morgan’s eyes.

As for her own feelings, Chloe Grant could only say that she was previously traumatized by Lily Grant when trying on the dress; her low self-esteem hadn’t passed yet.

At this moment, the staff had already delivered a suit.

Matthew Morgan stood up and headed towards the dressing room without giving Chloe Grant another look or saying a single word.

What does he mean by this...?

Too ugly to even look at, or what?

Chloe Grant was already anxious, and now she felt even more insecure!

...

Isabella Gray’s birthday party was set in the back garden of her house.

The garden, which she had personally tended to over the years, was in full bloom. The meticulously arranged banquet exuded an understated elegance rather than opulence and glamour.

The party was scheduled for after eight o’clock, but guests began arriving one after another shortly after seven, each bringing birthday gifts for Isabella Gray.

Every gift was both expensive and exquisite.

After all, it was the birthday of the matriarch of the most prestigious family at the heart of the capital. How could the gifts be anything but lavish?

"Lady Morgan, I haven’t seen this young lady before. Have you taken in another niece?" a lady teased as she inquired about Lily Grant.

Chloe Grant had accompanied Lady Morgan to several parties, so the circle was aware of her.

"No, this is Chloe’s sister," Lady Morgan explained.

Lily Grant smiled politely, lowering her head.

"Chloe can’t compare with such beauty. Are you planning to take her in as a daughter-in-law?" another lady appraised Lily Grant from top to bottom.

Isabella Gray responded with a smile but said nothing.

Lily Grant had initially felt displeased when Isabella Gray introduced her as Chloe Grant’s sister rather than Lucas Morgan’s girlfriend, but she gradually felt less upset as she heard people complimenting her beauty over Chloe Grant’s.

What is Chloe Grant to even be compared with her?!

Best not to appear, or else prepare for humiliation!

As time passed, most of the guests had arrived, and cars were lined up all the way down the hill.

However...

Matthew Morgan and Chloe Grant were nowhere to be seen.

"Have you called the young master and Miss Chloe?" Elder Morgan had urged the butler over three times.

"The young master said he would be here shortly," the butler replied truthfully.

Elder Morgan was directly infuriated; he was good with his words, keeping them minimal.

"Lady Morgan, why haven’t I seen Mr. Morgan?" asked Mrs. Fraser from the Fraser family.

Previously, Elder Morgan and Mrs. Fraser had arranged a few card games, openly and implicitly agreeing to set Isabella Gray up for a "blind date" with Matthew Morgan today!

If the two took a liking to each other, a union between the families would bring immense benefit to both the families and their companies.

"Soon, he’s handling some affairs," Isabella Gray replied with a smile.

Just as they were speaking, a commotion arose at the entrance.

Isabella Gray and Mrs. Fraser looked towards the entrance of the planned banquet area curiously.

A blue Bugatti had arrogantly parked at the doorway. A servant was about to open the door but was stopped, and then the car door was pushed open from inside...
