CHAPTER 266: CHAPTER 265: HE’S NO LONGER THAT PLAYBOY YOUNG MASTER (PART 1)

He spoke while holding Eva Nightingale’s hand, leading her to the sofa in the CEO’s office.

"The contract was broken long ago." Originally, Douglas Grant planned to make her Mrs. Grant, but he was overthinking.

He really was overthinking... She was the Crown Prince’s woman.

"I’ve arranged a dinner at Nightfall Palace." Douglas said, "After this evening, I’ll go pick up Alice Cloud."

"Okay."

Eva Nightingale was thus inexplicably taken by her uncle to attend the dinner party at Nightfall Palace.

*

At the dinner, she saw Edward White again.

In the few days she hadn’t seen him, his spirit had become much more haggard.

Eva suddenly remembered Ella, so she scooted over to Edward White and asked with concern, "Edward, how is Ella?"

"..." Edward White was stunned.

Ella...

Ever since she "sleepwalked" that one time, she’s been sleepwalking every night, sneaking into his room in the middle of the night, unabashedly sleeping while hugging him.

Edward White couldn’t freaking stand it.

For the first few nights, he didn’t say anything, but her nightly "sleepwalking" made him feel like he was lying next to a furnace every night.

He lost his temper, throwing Ella out of his room last night, and scolding her the whole evening.

As a result, he smoked in his room all day, finding everything annoying and displeasing to look at.

Now, attending the dinner party, he was in a foul mood.

The scenes from last night replayed in his mind; if she hadn’t taken off her clothes, she wouldn’t have angered him.

Ella ran out crying.

She even took the private plane from the White Estate and flew away, without him knowing where she went.

Anyway, it was him who harshly scolded her to leave last night; what else could he do but be stern? Otherwise, what if he became a beast?

Fucking hell.

Having those thoughts about his sister, wasn’t he just an animal!

"What happened to Ella?"

Eva hadn’t forgotten how Ella bravely rescued her the night she was kidnapped.

She was quite worried about Ella.

"Cough." Edward White replied coolly, "She... her mind still isn’t right."

...

At the table.

Eva Nightingale didn’t eat much.

After a few sips of soup, she greeted Sebastian Yansford and left in a hurry.

-

The dinner concluded early.

The next activity was karaoke.

Sebastian Yansford didn’t go, grabbed his coat, and left.

The planned game of "Truth or Dare" no longer held any interest.

Douglas Grant and Edward White, these two playboys, naturally had beauties accompanying them.

The large private room was filled with gorgeous women, with slender figures and scant clothing, the kind that easily tempted trouble.

Douglas Grant frowned, always feeling uninterested in these women today, his thoughts still lingering on Eva Nightingale.

"Edward, come~ have a drink~" A woman handed him a glass of Hennessy wine, her tone charming and coquettish, "Edward, the lead role in the new series~ are you still saving it for me?"

The women in this room weren’t just randomly selected from any karaoke bar.

They were all well-known actresses in the entertainment industry.

Otherwise known as the "unspoken rules."

As long as they pleased Edward White and Douglas Grant well, just one word from them could make these women the lead in some company drama and with a few funds thrown in, shoot them to fame.

"Edward~ hmm~ I’m not feeling well here..." The woman climbed onto Edward White’s neck, clinging and whining, "Edward, I’m not feeling well... right here on my chest... massage it for me..."

The woman’s slender jade hand roamed over Edward White’s waist, making his expression grow colder and colder.

"Edward... I’ll serve you well tonight~"

"Get out! Get the hell out of here!" Edward White exploded in anger, forcefully pushing the woman from him...
