Chapter 464 - 46: Who ARe You?

Brian was finally treating Antonette well. Did they love each other, right? So why was she still not happy for her best friend?

Brian was proud to see Diana's odd look. Although he despised Antonette, he put his hand on her shoulder and turned her face towards him.

Was Mr. William going to kiss her? There was much delight in Antonette's eyes. She turned her head obediently.

Of course, Brian would never kiss Antonette. He just wanted to pretend and let Diana enjoy the show.

Diana tried to say something, but nothing seemed right. Even under the dimmed light, she looked rather pale.

Diana, do you like Brian? Kyle wondered in his heart. Although Diana was at his side, Kyle felt the tacit understanding between her and Brian during their quarrel. It wasn't about anyone else, it was between them.

But Kyle soon remembered that, of course, Brian William wouldn't consider others' feelings, he only knew how to upset people. He was different from Brian. He would do everything for Diana and never allow her to be hurt.

Kyle touched Diana's hand. To his delight, she didn't pull away. That was the Anderson light Kyle needed, and he held her hand tightly.

Brian was so angry to see them holding hands that he unconsciously gripped Antonette's hand in anger. It was a pity that Diana didn't see as Antonette's face contorted in pain.

Kyle leaned in close to Diana and spoke softly in her ear, "Diana, shall we dance?"

Although Diana wasn't looking at Brian, she was paying attention to him the whole time. She didn't realize Kyle was holding her hand until his voice came to her.

When did they start holding hands? Diana felt nervous and immediately shook Kyle's hand away.

"Kyle, it's…" Diana didn't know how to explain; it was very awkward. Kyle was devastated, now he knew that Diana truly wasn't interested in him. He took one last look at her, then walked away.

Brian knew what Antonette was truly like. No matter how charming or innocent she pretended to be, he was indifferent.

As soon as he saw Kyle leaving, he pushed Antonette away and brushed off the place she'd been leaning against.

Antonette didn't know what was wrong, nor did she know why Brian suddenly changed his attitude. His expression showed disgust as if he had touched something dirty.

"Mr. William…" Antonette called out to Brian aggrievedly.

Brian didn't want to talk with her. He urgently needed to wash her cheap cosmetics off his hands.

Antonette went after Brian, but Ken skillfully stopped her. She could do nothing and looked on helplessly as Brian got into a lift with some other guests.

***

In reality, Antonette had known that Brian's attitude was not as positive as she had hoped. But she was blinded by his intimacy and thought Brian might give her an opportunity.

But Antonette was not willing to give up money and fame that easily!

Ken's cough interrupted Antonette's imagination, "Miss White, this way, please."

Ken was so polite that Antonette couldn't refuse him.

Still, she shot him a dark look so as to vent her anger, then walked over to the dance floor.

Ken was shocked by her attitude, how rude!

Not after long, the lift door opened again. Brian walked out in a fresh suit and headed for the VIP lounge.

Antonette's poor perfume and cosmetics had forced him to go and shower in his private room. The suit he wore before had been thrown into the garbage.

Brian settled into the VIP area overlooking the dance floor and eagerly searched the crowds for Diana.

Meanwhile, Antonette was having the time of her life mingling with the other guests. It was the first time she'd attended such a formal occasion.

When she'd first arrived, no one saw her as important, she was nobody. But lots of people saw she was close to Brian William, the President of William. After that, women came to chat with her for gossip, and men admired her from afar.

Still absorbed in the false sweetness given to her by Brian, Antonette enjoyed her moment. Champagne, dancing, high-class people to talk to… this was life!

"Isn't that the girl who was with Mr. William?"

Antonette couldn't help feeling elated at hearing those words. But she pretended not to have heard what the girl said, wanting to appear gentle and elegant.

"Yes. And I think Mr. William kissed her just now…" The girl lowered her voice, but still spoke loudly enough for others to hear what she said.

And yet, Antonette still wasn't satisfied, she wanted them to know more.

It would be great if these girls knew she was a frequent guest at Brian's house, even better if they heard about her "one-night stand" with him!

Of course, Diana could back her up on all this. And even though she had promised to help, when Antonette needed her, Diana was jealous and hid like a child. Antonette despised her.

"Really? No way. How could Mr. William kiss that kind of girl…?" Antonette heard more girls talking about her.

She was unhappy with their remarks and turned around to look haughtily at them.

The girls knew this was their chance to chat with her. So, they walked toward her with big smiles on their faces.

A pretty girl with a short bob haircut asked with a sweet smile, "May I ask your name?"

Antonette raised her chin highly and replied, "Antonette White."

The girls looked at each other and nodded their heads. And then they uttered at the same time, "Miss White."

"Miss White, the girl who was with Mr. William…" The girls tried to get Antonette to tell them they wanted to know.

"That's me, I was with Mr. William." Antonette stood tall, champagne glass in hand, speaking as confidently as she could. 

"I thought I recognized you from someplace. Your figure and you are…" another girl said. She glanced at Antonette's ten-centimeter tall high heels.

Antonette's dress looked great, with a gorgeous cut and high-quality fabric. However, her high heels were ugly and outdated. Antonette knew herself and couldn't pretend otherwise.
