Chapter 663 - Brother Jai is in danger(2)

Even though the Lawrence family was well off, they were nothing compared to the Hathaway. The latter's family was in Logistics and his sister married an heir of an extremely influential family. So he always thought she wants to marry him for family wealth than for him or for her grandmother wish who she meets once or twice a year.

His parents and grandparents let him do whatever he likes but his grandfather's only request for him was to marry his childhood sweetheart's granddaughter which he couldn't say no.

Two years back he got to know that granddaughter was Anne. He still tried to get along but she seemed fake to him. He convinced himself saying her profession was different and he shouldn't think she was acting with him. But as time passed, he was getting more uncomfortable with her.

He successfully escaped from her went aside when Anne's friends started asking about her designer attire and accessories.

He had half heart to stay in his own birthday party and half heart to leave. When his eyes fell on his classmates, Arlo and Sky, unknowingly a smile appeared on his face.

He met some colleagues who were professors before going towards them.

"Sky, you are amazing. You agreed to her insult and complimented her which was actually vicious taunts."

Sky wasn't happy about it. "Professor Tom must have felt bad." She then turned to Arlo, "Should I talk to him?"

Jack was trying to carry forward the topic, Arlo stopped, "Let's not talk about it." He knew Sky didn't want to talk about the actress.

Sky sighed knowing topic averted. Seniors randomly took a few topics where they had fun in past but Arlo would still keep his straight face there too. Hearing everyone's vivid description, Sky and Arlo had dinner whereas others only ate lightly to accompany them and were stuffed with PDA.

Thomson joined them after some time. Seeing back to his fun mode with his friends, Sky didn't feel the necessity to apologize by bringing up about Anne.

All spoke for some time until Thomson's father's assistant called him towards the party area. The rest followed him and stood aside. The rest of the seniors' girlfriend joined them in the meantime Sky had slipped and brought two champagne flutes and passed one to Arlo. 

"Sweetie, look at Sky and learn how to keep a man happy." Freddie tried to teach his girlfriend. "Dear, Why don't you get me a c.o.c.ktail?" A sweet voice sounded from his girlfriend leaving him speechless and he left the thought of getting served by his girlfriend and he took two glasses from servers around them.

At the end of the party, Arlo and Sky's relationship was titled as poisonous to other's relationsh.i.p.s.

Old master Hathaway announced Thomson's engagement and the couple exchanged rings under thunderous applause. All had dinner while Sky and Arlo time passed talking with seniors.

Sky noticed seniors' girlfriend eating only green salad, "Are they dieting? How can they live eating grass?" Sky asked Arlo in low voice. Even if she eats only salad, it would still have chicken in it.

Arlo looked at her eating dark chocolate ice cream after a round of chicken poppers and sighed, "Not everyone can be glutton like you and still manage to have..." He whispered the rest moving his finger on her waist, "Slinky body."

Sky stomped on his foot and looked away.

Dyan's girlfriend asked her worriedly, "Ms.Sky! Chicken poppers and ice cream have lots of fat. It will affect your health and increase your weight. You should consider healthy food while dieting."

Freddie laughed out hearing her, "Sky is eating for the second time. Her dinner was spicy honey garlic grilled chicken steak with a small bowl of soup. She even stole pasta from Junior's plate when he was cutting steak for her."

All seniors admired her whereas their girlfriend stopped in their tracks looking at her like an unreal creature. Later Sky had to answer all their questions as they weren't ready to accept the fact that her body nature was like that she doesn't get fat.

After dinner, most of the elders had left. All were boozing and dancing on the floor including a pool party. Dyan and Jaxon went for a pool party as the other two seniors were inside the villa. Sky didn't have the mood dance for DJ music and Arlo would only do if Sky wants so he sat with her.

When the newly engaged couple came to toast, Sky had water as she already had her limit of alcohol. Arlo drank for both. Thomson knew her alcohol tolerance hence he didn't mind but Anne thought Sky was doing it on purpose to piss her off. 

But it didn't show on her face and they left to toast for others. When the music changed and all dancers started to pair up, Arlo got down from his barstool and asked, "I was wondering if the beautiful lady would like to dance with me?"

Hearing his flirtatious tone yet managing with gentlemanly behavior, Sky smiled, "I would love to dance with you Handsome."

Freddie who just went to take his drink speechlessly looked at the duo as they flirted and entered the dance floor. He remembered how he asked to dance with his girlfriend, 'Let's dance' and the reply he got, 'Who wants to dance with you? I need a drink.'

He shook his head resignation and served his girlfriend.

When it was twelve, all gathered around the cake as Thomson cut the cake and fed his fiance as he got a kiss in return. He just smiled and all wished him as the party continued. Seeing Sky yawn for a long time, Arlo bid them and rested in their villa.

Sigma Pharmacy had found the culprits with proof and oral statements of the doers. They submitted it to the inspection department. They warned the Sigma and closed the case. Sigma gave free treatment for the patients in their hospital for the patients who faced problems. The culprits were paid a huge amount to Sigma and were behind the bars. Arlo ordered his people to close down the main instigator's pharma company soon.

Their flight was at night and they had finished dinner in the villa. Seeing Sky pace holding her mobile, he got to know Jai wasn't receiving the calls the whole day. He messaged his men who were protecting the Barton family and got to know Jai had gone on a case and didn't return yet.
