Chapter 042 Henry even didn‘t bother to take a look at her. – Seeing Nova and Chester still have a good time talking, Kelly sneered inside her heart. She thought, the trap she had been setting up for three years straight would finally work out today. Kelly thought, since Nova fell into this trap voluntarily and she, as her older sister, wasn‘t supposed to be the one to blame. Today was the birthday banquet for the grandpa of the Smith Family, but now it was all about these four people. Of course, the main event was the rivalry between Henry and Chester. Would it be a fight in which the winner went home with a wife? The show coming up might be quite fun to watch! Henry, with all eyes on him, already walked before Nova. Everyone could see the gloominess in his eyes and chilling look on his face. Nova raised her head and happened to see those two before her, with her lips slightly pulled back, she said, : “Here you come.” The understatement in her tone didn‘t carry many emotions, Chester, also with his lips pulled backward slightly, said: “President King, it‘s so rare to see you attend a banquet with a woman other than Nova.” Nova?

The look on Henry‘s face got even more chilling! He sneered and said: “It‘s also my first time to see President Don come to a banquet with a female company, and she‘s my wife.” Kelly looked anxious for she didn‘t know whether Henry said this because there were many out here or he just couldn‘t get over Nova. Chester pulled his lips backward even further and replied: “Your wife?” Nova put on a half smile, and the indifference in her eyes antagonized Henry pretty much! He looked at her expressionlessly: “How long do you plan to keep your unreasonable act going?” Nova put on a little smile and said: “President King, you‘re worrying too much. But if you want me to act unreasonably, I can make a
scene as you wished.” “Nova!” People could notice that Henry was gritting his teeth when he spoke. But Nova had no intention to talk to Henry, so she turned to Chester and siniled: “I think you‘ve got lots of acquaintances to talk to, right?
I‘m going with you, sounds good?” Chester chuckled and replied: “Sure.” He lifted his arm and extended it to Nova, the moment Nova raised her arm, it felt like her arm was so heavy like thousands of pounds that she couldn‘t lift it. When she turned her head, she saw that eyes filled with rage of Henry. Kelly took
a breath, seeing that Henry was about to go there and drag Nova away, she grabbed his hands and said: “Henry.” She was looking at him and reminded him of the crowd around with her eyes. Henry didn‘t move with his lips closed, and at this moment, Nova found her senses back, and then she put her arm around Chester‘s at
ease.
With Henry, no, with everyone present watching, Chester took Nova to Hill, the man who spoke to Chester just now. Feeling totally flattered, President Hill greeted in a hurry: “President Don, you wanna a drink?” Chester smiled and shook the glass of champagne in his hand and said: “Thanks, but I‘m driving today, so I‘ll pass.” President Hill put on a flattery smile and replied: “It‘s okay, I totally understand. I‘ve been hoping to treat you to dinner, but I didn‘t get the chance, I‘m wondering if you‘re available these days, President Don.” Chester smiled and said: “Let‘s see.” Feeling impulsive to insist, but he could do nothing but smile, because it was good enough that Chester came talk to him first. He didn‘t have the guts to mention cooperation again for he feared that it might drive Chester away. So he turned to look at Nova and sized her up from top to bottom. He thought, this woman is such a hot number! No wonder President King liked her, and President Don was willing to make an exception and had her as a company. After a moment of hesitation, he couldn‘t resist the curiosity and said with a smile on his face: “Mrs. King, could you please tell me why you come to this banquet with President Don?”
