The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

277

The Manoban were acquainted with a limited number of families including the business associates so the guests were comparatively less than other family parties.

Yet, there were more arrivals than usual. The youngsters and elders of the families were all there due to the news circulating about Ruby Jane and to know the girlfriend of Lisa. It was expected so the arrangements were made accordingly.

Karsen, Megan, and Jisoo were first to grace the carpet and face the reporters. Like always, they looked more refined than luxurious.

Megan was in a cream-colored sleeveless short dress that comfortably fit around her slender body. The intricate work of lace at the shoulder and waist gave a delicate look to her appearance. The same colored wrap shawl was stylishly wrapped around her shoulder. To her subtle, noble appearance, she had added heavy diamond earrings and a bracelet to complete her look.

To complement his wife, Karsen was also in a cream contrasting with the earthy brown tone. His appearance didn't only show his strong bond with his wife, he was also reserved and sharp.

Given an option, Jisoo would have loved to skip the formal suit to a trendy jacket. But he had chosen his outfit accordingly to avoid being out of place. Jisoo was in a stylish double-breasted navy blue blazer. While his blazer was buttoned up, the shirt was unbuttoned giving a sneak peek at his sculpted chest.

The questions about the accident at Coasta, Lisa, his girlfriend, and Ruby Jane were carelessly aimed at them anticipating a response that could be new headlines. Megan had a gentle smile while Jisoo had a sexy smirk and Karsen carried a faint smile facing them.

Once the voice slowly lowered, Jisoo responded on behalf of his parents, "Have some patience for the surprise. Have a good evening." The trio nodded before they entered the grand venue.

Megan asked as soon as they crossed the lobby, "Where are GiggleMug and my son? Will they be able to make it?"

Karsen chuckled looking at his wife's excitement, Jisoo took her to the elevator as they responded, "Mom, this is the fifth time you are asking about those two."

Karsen and Jisoo chuckled while Megan snorted and took her mobile from Karsen to drop a message to Ruby Jane asking where did they reach. It was the seventh message to Ruby Jane yet the latter patiently responded to Megan sending a picture of her surroundings.

Followed by them was Connor with Chaeyoung. Initially, they wanted to send Chaeyoung with Jisoo but that would create unnecessary rumors and it could trouble Chaeyoung so Connor escorted her to the party instead of letting her be alone.

Nikun was busy studying Seungri's case so he wasn't going and his parents were attending on behalf of the Morris family. It had still been a long time.

The media didn't know who Chaeyoung was. So they got crazily excited assuming Lisa was in city Coasta hence his girlfriend is with his father-in-law. Since Chaeyoung was gorgeous, it wasn't their mistake to get their assumption.

Chaeyoung softly chortled as she spoke to Connor, "Uncle Connor, hadn't I told you, these reporters will misunderstand?"

Connor had a warm smile patting Chaeyoung's hand that was hooked around his arm, "Then enjoy the limelight."

Chaeyoung controlled her grin when a thought crossed her mind, "Uncle Connor, should we leak a little about sister-in-law?"

Connor glanced at her and understood what she meant. "Why not?" He let her enjoy it and stood for a few clicks of the picture.

Chaeyoung was wearing a burgundy bodycon dress. It had pleat-designed angle short sleeves with a plunging notch neckline on a fitted bodice. The dress accented her naturally appealing silhouette traversing its length below the knee hemline.
