Maybe she just didn't know how to talk that matter out.
Besides, the Cheng family was prominent in that area. A local bully could also be a more suitable name.
Nolan had led his family to an absurd level of wealth and development. The whole Cheng family rested under his care and no one dared to defy him.
Given that she was Nolan's fiancée, she lacked no creeps during that period of time. Even her family had greatly benefited from being associated with Nolan, making a fortune for themselves.
But Christine would not marry Nolan merely for his name. It was her physical attraction to Nolan that held the most importance, of course.
Being engaged to Nolan had thrilled Christine dearly. Ironically, days before the wedding, Nolan suddenly came to the Zhou family and announced that no marriage would happen between them.
Nolan and Christine's marriage had been arranged and planned by their families when they were younger, meaning that there was no love between Nolan and Christine in the first place.
Being able to reach that agreement undoubtedly brought Christine's family to cloud nine. Since that day, Christine's family had been sure that she was Nolan's bride-to-be.
Some of the Cheng family members had always looked down on the Zhou family. But they simply chose to keep their silence for they dared not to offend Nolan. When Nolan ended the engagement, none of Christine's family members dared to raise an objection since the engagement was only a verbal agreement.
However, Christine was hell bent on keeping the engagement intact. She had fallen in love with Nolan since the first day she saw him. Christine had placed in her heart that this engagement was destined to happen.
She only wanted Nolan, and did not mind any of his family's power. She put away every ounce of self-respect just to get Nolan back. However, Nolan always rejected her.
th be told, Ashley was an idiot who was oblivious to any form of courting, let alone romance. That's why she never took notice of Duncan's love for her.
This man truly resembled Andrew in every way imaginable. Chloe thought if she could give that man some advice, maybe he could end up with Ashley. That was what Chloe wished in her heart.
That man was Duncan. He wandered around the party, looking for someone. Chloe rolled her eyes and knew he was looking for Ashley as well.
Chloe stood up and walked towards Duncan. She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Long time no see."
"Miss Chloe."
Duncan looked at her and nodded as a greeting.
He surely knew Chloe. After all, he often saw Ashley with her.
Chloe and Duncan seemed to get along with each other well.
"Are you looking for Ashley, too?"
Chloe glance at the rather gaudy banquet and asked.
Duncan nodded and replied hesitantly, "Do you know where she is?"
Chloe shrugged helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, Duncan but I don't. I'm also looking for her. I just saw you and came to say hello."
They were not close and didn't really know each other well enough. Before tonight, mere nodding and courteous greetings between them were the only conversation they had.
