Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife [Book 2]

Chapter 208 - Hunting Season (1)

Lisa remembered that Special Assistant Guo gave this invitation card to him a few weeks ago. He heard the assistant telling him that it was an invitation to a party dedicated to businessmen like him in order to get to know each other more. At the same time, some celebrities would also be there to get an opportunity to meet these businessmen and get them to invest in them.

He was never the kind to attend any useless chatters or gatherings; thus, he didn't even read the content of the letter before throwing it in the box where other invitation letters he deemed unworthy of his attention would be thrown to be shredded were placed.

So, it was really fortunate that he didn't throw the letter that day.

When Zhao Fei saw the invitation card was in his hand, the entire day's worth of impatience, sadness, and disappointment she was feeling disappeared into a cloud of smoke.

She never thought a reversal like this could happen before her eyes.

Her feet moved, and her throat bobbed up and down. The only thing that was missing was that she would jump and rush towards Lisa and snatch the card away from his hand, fearing that he would change his mind.

But wait... is he going to give it to them?

"That... Are you going to the party, Mr. Manoban?" Zhao Fei cautiously asked while her heart was beating furiously.

If Lisa decided to go and use the invitation card, there really was nothing she could do.

"No... I will give this to my wife," Lisa answered indifferently, as if the thing in his hand didn't amount to anything for him. Since it was nothing to him and Jennie treated it as something important, he might as well give it to her since she needed it.

It's good that he could have something that she needed.

Maybe, he could also use this chance to get a reward from her, right?

As if his thoughts weren't visible enough, Lisa gazed down at Jennie with those dark obsidian eyes, looking as if he was begging her to praise him for doing something good.

Jennie chuckled softly and patted his hand before she asked, "But what about you?"

Despite the importance of the party and the letter in his hand, Jennie didn't want to take it away from him.

"I don't need it, and If I want to attend a party, this kind of thing isn't needed," Lisa smiled confidently. "I can just tell the host that I want to attend the party."

There were too many people who wanted to curry favor with him, and he only needed to show a slight interest for other people to think that they'd already won a lottery ticket.

With that, Jennie was able to get an invitation for Hunting Season.

The days passed very quickly, and the day of the grand and long-awaited party finally arrived.

Hunting Season or Golden Star Ball was already in full swing, and many celebrities were already inside the hall. Everyone was dressed in their most glamorous and expensive clothes, and nobody wanted to look inferior to the other. Hence, many used a lot of effort and money to shower themselves with splendor.

Ji-won glanced around the party and smiled in a friendly manner at other stars she caught looking in her way.

Of course, the way looked at her was filled with mockery and contempt, causing her face to have a dark and ugly expression.

Seeing that her veneer was starting to melt due to her uncontrollable emotions, Manager Zhang had to take it upon himself and manger her.

Pinching her on her waist, Manager Zhang whispered to her sharply, "Ji-won, behave and smile. Don't make me lose face any more than what the company already lost."

Ji-won felt the slight pain coming from her waist and glared at him. But thinking that her manager was still right and valuable to her, she didn't raise any complaints again and just replied obediently, "I know."

Today, the company was able to obtain 2 invitation cards to this party. One was given to the president of the company, and another one was bought for several thousands of dollars. Because it was extremely expensive, the president initially wanted to give a chance for the movie king that was signed under the company to attend the party for him to interact with some of the bigshots in the party.

However, Manager Zhang came forward and begged the president to give it to them.

President Wang didn't want to give it away at first, but Ji-won said that she'd pay triple the amount of what he paid for the card. And thus, President Wang could only give it away and take her money while the movie king he previously wanted to give them a card to would have to accompany him and use the other card he obtained.

"I'm going to remind you again, Ji-won. This night shouldn't be ruined." Manager Zhang spoke harshly, but the smile on his lips wasn't erased. He looked quite normal in front of others, but he was severely reminding Ran Yue to behave. "This is another chance for you to get resources after you got fired from your films. Don't waste it with your nonsense, or I won't be merciful again!"

Ji-won hated being spoken to like this by a lowly person like Manager Zhang, but she endured his rough and harsh words since he was right.

From the time she arrived at the party till now, nobody has come forward to greet her. This year, she didn't receive an invitation card and could only use money to obtain one. However, she still expected that some of the people who came to the party would show some respect for her. But who could have known that nobody even wanted to talk to her!

Ji-won gritted her teeth and glared at these people while angrily trying to remember their faces just so she could take revenge on them when she met them next time!

Five minutes later, they heard a loud noise coming from near the hall entrance.

Ji-won glanced ahead, but she still couldn't find the reason behind the sudden enthusiastic attitude of the others.

Little did she know, someone she didn't expect would come to the party arrived.
