Chapter 428 - Cold War

Sasha was silent for a moment then rose to her feet casually. Drinking several glasses of wine before might've made her emotions volatile and her mind could not think properly.

At this time, Alex was sitting beside Tom when he saw Sasha get up and put on her coat. He immediately patted Tom's thigh and said, "Sasha is leaving!"

Tom opened his eyes lazily and said, "Who's leaving?"

Alex could only shake his head at this friend.

He had warned Tom not to get too drunk tonight, but the man was so overjoyed that he emptied a whole bottle of champagne and red wine like drinking water.

The drunken Tom tried to stare at Alex's finger that was pointing at Sasha.

Tom stared at him blankly, after a moment of confusion, he shook his head. "Where is my wife going!?"

He motioned for Alex to help himself up. However, after walking a few steps from where his body was, Tom nearly fell and leaned on Alex's shoulder. He shook his head and continued muttering. "Damn, my head is so dizzy! Dizzy!"

Sasha's coat still hanging down one side of her arm, she saw Tom's drunken gaze without any surprise in her eyes. The corner of her mouth rose and showed a glimpse of disgust, and instead of helping him, she slowly walked towards where Jean was.

She was standing in front of Jean's table and watching the man hugged Lilia. How could this cold man give all his warmth to that bastard?

Deep down inside, Sasha was really jealous and almost went crazy.

She stared intently at Jean's handsome and graceful face, her furious expression shining fiercely and could not be hidden. "Jean, I have business to do so I have to get out of this place. You have to come for my engagement party tomorrow night, I hope you can really come,"

Jean blinked his eyes, and before he could say a word, Lilia smiled slightly from his arms. She twirled her wineglass so that the wine's aroma could be smelled and gave it to her husband. After turning her head towards Sasha, she smiled and said. "Miss Sasha, isn't this family banquet celebrating your engagement? And why do you still call my husband by his name?"

Sasha was still staring at the man with her furious gaze, she didn't want to blurt out something that could bring her trouble. The woman then forced herself to smile, but she felt a great shame that she had never felt before.

Lilia deliberately gave a wine glass to Jean in order to prevent him from speaking.

"Miss Lilia…" Sasha was secretly biting the corner of her lips so that she wouldn't explode. Then she said with a smile, "Haven't I known Jean since I was little? Of course calling him by his name is a habit, as a wife you don't need to be so sensitive about it right? Let me talk to Jean for a moment."

Lilia pinched her thigh hard as she raised her eyebrows and grinned slightly. "But as someone else's future wife, why do you look close to someone else's husband? Isn't it rude to interfere with a pair of husband and wife's intimate time? If you want to find someone to chat with, there are still a lot of guests here. Don't you think Chris looks lonely over there? You can talk to him if you want."

Chris was quietly listening to it and suddenly coughed. "Cough, cough, cough!"

He was choking on his own smoke!

If she let Sasha talk to her husband knowing that she had a feeling for Jean, wouldn't that mean she was submitting to Sasha's plan? 

As a wife, Lilia wouldn't let that happen!

Lilia obviously didn't want Sasha to get involved with Jean.

From the moment they met, Lilia and Sasha had disliked each other. And this party was increasingly convincing Lilia's hatred.

What's more, Sasha was always trying to steal Jean from her and now she even called out her husband's name in an affectionate tone.

Was Sasha having delusions!?

However, Lilia knew that if Sasha had another plan at this engagement event, that woman would not have provoked a fight.

Lilia glanced at Sasha's face, changing from red with embarrassment to pale white. The supermodel chuckled and leaned forward to pick up a wine glass on the table. Then she fed the fruit to her husband's mouth.

In this case, the handsome man beside her chose to keep quiet and let his wife do anything she wanted.

He just smiled faintly and enjoyed what Lilia fed him while lying on the sofa. His hand that was hugging Lilia's waist was clenched even more tightly.

Lilia took her time to look back at Jean's face, her eyes fixed on him. She took another one and fed it to her husband again with a smile. "Is it delicious?"

"Of course, I always like what you give." The man's tone was soft and affectionate, his pupils under his thick eyebrows locked in Lilia's shadow, only this beautiful supermodel was in his eyes.

Both of them showed their affection openly, and this definitely made Sasha jealous.

The girl was staring at the two of them coldly, humming contemptuously while looking disdainfully at Lilia. In a relaxed manner, the supermodel just lifted her chin and narrowed her eyes as she said to Sasha, "Why does your face look like that? Didn't you say you had business and had to leave this party? After you officially become a wife later, I hope our two extended families can meet and talk again,"

Sasha's face was grim.

She squeezed the coat in her hand and accidentally looked at Tom and found that the man was already asleep on the sofa.

At this instant, Sasha suddenly felt that she was alone in this world. She became so isolated and helpless in the midst of the crowd.

It's all because of Lilia's appearance! Her presence broke the balance between them!

Sasha struggled to suppress her emotions, she jabbed her nails into the palms of her hands, and the pain gradually brought her back to her senses.

She tilted her stiff cheeks and lowered her head in apology. "I thought Miss Lilia was an open minded person. Since my presence is seemingly making your mood worse, then I will pay more attention to it in the future."

When she heard Sasha's words, Lilia felt a little surprised and turned to look at her who was still standing in front of her. "Miss Sasha, you are very generous."

After that, she handed the wine in her hand to Jean and said with a smile. "Miss Sasha, instead of us arguing and dissing each other, wouldn't it be better for you to go and take care of your fiancé? Tom looks a little dizzy, maybe he drank too much tonight. If you leave him now, wouldn't that be bad for your image?"

After listening to Lilia's warning, Sasha looked where Tom was once again. The woman stood still for a while, after which she walked over to Alex and said with a serious face, "Alex, I have to go take care of something, can you please help me to keep an eye on Tom? Please watch over him so he won't make a mess!"

When she finished speaking, Sasha looked at Lilia with a cold gaze. Before Alex could even answer, the woman left him with an indifferent face.

A second before the door to the room closed, Sasha heard someone insult her from behind. "Bah, you lying old hag!"

The words came out from Vivi Tara, Lilia's best friend.
