Chapter 87 - Consultants

Vincent stared at her for a moment. After a long while, he let go of her disappointedly, "Go."

Emily, on the other hand, reached out and wiped his neck.

As his body stiffened, she stood on tiptoe and kissed his throat, biting him slightly.

There seemed to be a string in Vincent's head that just broke. He came to himself and immediately locked her in his arms. He held the back of her head and kissed her. His reaction was totally different from when Arabella kissed his throat just now. The moment Emily nibbled at his throat, he wanted to crush the girl in front of him right away.

Emily unconsciously let out a muffled moan. The man's kiss was too fierce and violent, reminding her of the time at Tea Manor, when she was blindfolded, she could only sense her intense heartbeat and rough breathing.

Their breath entwined.

The towel fell to the ground. The man held the girl's slender waist and with a little effort, he left a red mark on her fair skin. He tilted his head and kissed the girl on the shoulder. He said in a husky voice, "Go get dressed."

Emily replied, "Alright."

After a few seconds, Vincent lowered his head and looked at her, "Why are you still not leaving?"

Emily moved her body, "You have to put me down first."

"..."

The guards who were eavesdropping by the door said, "Ah!!! I can keep up! Don't stop!"

On the other side, Arabella limped out and met Jaquan in the hallway, along with Ferne, Armando, and Randy, as well as a group of guards.

Seeing Arabella walked out with difficulty, Jaquan was about to step forward when Randy stopped him by tightly grabbing his shoulder.

Ferne asked worriedly, "What happened to our Miss Arabella? Are you hurt?"

Arabella nodded and looked at Jaquan through Ferne, "I accidentally twisted my ankle."

When Jaquan's gaze met hers, he knew at once that she needed him, so he shook off Randy's grip and immediately walked up to Arabella, supporting her arm. "Does it hurt? I'll take you to the hospital."

Arabella didn't refuse and nodded goodbye to Ferne and Randy.

As soon as the two of them left, Randy swore angrily, "Damn it! This idiot! I've already told him that he has to be indifferent to her at first, then after a few days passionately show his care to her and ignore her again. I'm sure he can take her down in such a cycle. But look at him, he can't even bear for a while!"

Ferne rubbed his chin. "I think that you're right, but I still don't believe you. Look, apart from Armando, who is a celibatarian, and Jaquan, who is a simp, you're the only old man left here with unknown sexual orientation. You are a single old man, what qualifies you to be a relationship counselor?"

"Unknown sexual orientation?" Randy gritted his teeth, "I like women with big boobs and butts!"

"You just told Mr. Maury that you are crazy about Vincent." Ferne reminded.

Randy suddenly speechless "..."

In the banquet hall.

When Sydnee came in from outside, she saw the butler cutting a cake nearly as tall as him, with a Korean heart-shaped birthday hat with a pompom on his head and was surrounded by children. Someone was dancing in the middle of the dance floor. A group of young men and women were flirting in the corridor. The whole hall was pervaded by a romantic atmosphere.

She came here today to give something to Emily. It took her two days to get them. Before she came, she called Harold, but he had already returned to the Britt's and couldn't come out again. She had no choice but to come to the Scavo's in person. If she saw Emily, she could just give her the key directly. The property ownership certificate she had already locked in a cabinet.

Unexpectedly, she was soon noticed by her college classmates as well as the seniors who had graduated.

"Sydnee Dickerson, why did you come to this banquet?" A female classmate looked at her suspiciously, "Mr. Vincent invited you? No way?"

Sydnee also felt weird. As soon as she got out of the car, she was shown into the banquet hall before she could explain that she was uninvited. The person who led her seemed know her.

She didn't respond, just looked around. Emily was not here, but she saw her brother, Eliot Britt.

Being ignored by Sydnee, her classmates felt annoyed and deliberately bumped her shoulder, "Hey, we are talking to you. What are you looking? What? You don't even bother to talk to us, do you?"

Sydnee had always been solitary at college. Many people didn't like her, but it wasn't that they didn't appreciate that. It was because none of them could be like her, which made them resented her and wanted to destroy her. It was jealousy.

Polite manners and elegant behaviors were the Dickerson family's values and education. Being raised up in a family like this, Sydnee conducted herself with grace. Her nobleness and elegance were from the inside out. No one could do that, so they just envied her secretly and made fun of her.

"Speaking of money, how much longer can your family rely on that store of yours?"

"I heard that it's going to close down soon. It's losing money, right?"

"You haven't been to school lately. Are you doing a part-time job at night?"

They laughed loudly. There was no need to ask them what they mean by a part time job at night. Sydnee ignored them and walked forward. However, someone tugged at her sleeve and said, "Hey, isn't that Mr. Marquise?"

This person shouted loudly. Marquise heard the noise and looked over. His eyes swept randomly at the crowd and saw Sydnee at once. His eyes lit up. He took a quick sip of wine with others, excused himself and walked over.

Sydnee was a little anxious. She immediately tried to pull back her sleeve said, "Let go!"

The female student sneered, "Hey, Sydnee, Mr. Marquise seems to like you. Now that he and Elsie are done. You have a chance."

While they were talking, Marquise had already stood in front of them. He drank a lot wine and his eyes were slightly red. He walked towards Sydnee and asked her fondly, "Are you looking for me?"

"Holy shit, Mr. Marquise, you are quite capable! You refused Elsie, and there is Miss Arabella of the Dickerson's waiting for you! How impressive!" The crowd laughed loudly."

Marquise was drunk. He couldn't tell whether they were truly admiring him or they were just being sarcastic. He just knew that they were flattering him, so he immediately waved his hands and chuckled, "It was nothing."

Sydnee was inwardly furious, but was calm outwardly. She said to Marquise, "Mr. Marquise, I'm sorry, I didn't come here for you. If you don't mind, I have to leave now."

Marquise reached out his hand to stop her, "Hey, why leaving so soon?"

Sydnee avoided his contact. Their unfriendly gaze made her sick. Everyone was making a fool of her, and their gazes were like thorns stuck in her.

"Are you still angry?" Marquise reached out to hold her hand, "Elsie is too malicious. She set me up. Look, I didn't marry her. Such a wicked woman is not qualified to be in my family. Sydnee, the person I want to marry is you."

Sydnee shook off his hand and said coldly, "Mr.. Marquise, you're drunk."
