Infatuated with my Ex-wife novel Chapter 56

The incident of Tristan created a stir in the city.

Steven finally hold the charity party by his own name.  Knowing that Edward as the guarantee of Steven, so many companies joined charity. Everyone knew that Steven want to use this charity party to attract the media and public's attention.

The party was held in a high-end hotel.

Beth, as the daughter of the Jones family, played the piano for the party.

Edward and Irene arrived that night.

Fristly, Irene did not like this kind of occasion. So she just put things off. Well, Edward didn't push her.

Secondly, Edward didn't like the Jones family who were hypocritical.

Irene wore a light blue formal dress with flat shoes on her feet. Her curly hair reached her shoulders, making her look young-energetic. Edward was wearing a white shirt and black tie as usual. 

Beth, eager to impress the whole party, wore a red dress with the elaborate makeup. She looked elegant and beautiful.

Her effort worked. When Irene and Edward entered, the pleasant sound of the piano attracted a large number of people. There were many businessmen and young gentlemen from aristocratic families praised Beth.

Irene held Edward on his arm tightly. Noticing their coming, some businessmen rushed over to speak to Edward. Irene tugged his arm and implied that she wanted to find a quiet place and wait for the party ending.

Edward apologized to those people and then said to Irene, "There is a lounge in that cornor where there are some snacks. The snacks in this hotel are very famous, but you can't eat too much. I'll cook for you when we get home. Wait for me there. You can't drink champagne, either." Edward kept telling Irene, as if she was a child.

Irene nodded. Then she left the crowd and walked stright to the lounge.

The crowd saw how carefully Edward treated his wife and said, "Mr. Wilson and his wife really love each other. It seems that those gossip are all lies. I don't think there's any couples who can be like Mr. and Mrs. Wilson."

Instead of answering them, Edward gave them a casual smile.

After playing the piano, Beth dragged her long dress and slowly walked over. "Mr. Wilson."

Her watery eyes were full of admiration and love.

Edward nodded, "Miss. Jones."

His tone was not good. After he heard  what she had done to Irene, he almost couldn't wait to choke her to death .

The way he addressed her made Beth stop her steps.

It was like there was a thick wall between them. They could never be closed like he and Irene were.

Edward ignored Beth's disappointment. He turned and talked to some of the bosses. He did not talk much, but every time he finished, people would give him praise and admiration.

Beth looked at him from the behind of crowd.  Compared to the person in the lounge, Edward treated her cold and indifferent.

Thinking of this,Beth was angry and drank alone in a corner.

Suddenly, a person stumbled along. It was Justin, the young master of the Parker family. He was famous as a playboy.

He had once studied abroad with beth, but he often indulged in alcohol and women. It was said that he study abroad,but he just used his family money to play and make troubles everywhere.

Justin was drunk. When he saw Beth drinking alone in the corner and there was no one around her, he wanted to flirt with her.

"Isn't this Miss Jones? Why are you drinking alone here? Why don't you find someone to accompany you?" Justin asked and smiled. The smell of alcohol in his mouth annoyed Beth.

"It's none of your business." Beth would not even look at Justin.

Justin became even more excited when he saw Beth's cold expression. "What are you upset about? Come, tell me. Maybe I can help you solve it." Justin sat down and slowly put his hands on Beth's leg.

Beth was a little drunk and did not pay attention to it until the back of her leg was suddenly touched. She immediately pushed Justin's hand away. "Get out of my face."

She was in a bad mood. And now the person in front of her made her angrier.

Justin was annoyed by Beth's attitued. Although he was not at successful as Edward, he came from a prestigious family. How dare she treated him like this.

"Don't pretend to be lofty. Do you think no body know what you did abroad?  Don't forget that you are just a degrading mistress." Justin knew Beth's past at school. He wanted to provoked her by what he said.

Beth's face was flushed. "Are you shameless? Keep your mouth clean. Don't think you know everything"

Shameless?

Justin smiled wickedly. "Well, did I touch on the raw? Beth, I could not care less about the Jones family. I saw you are alone, so I  come to comfort you. Do not be ungrateful or I will teach you a lesson."

Beth sneered, and her tone was suddently soft, "I know you are capable. If you can do me a favour, I would agree with anything you want to do to me."

Justin's tone relaxed when he heard Beth's words. He directly touched her hand with both hands. Although Beth felt disgusted, she still endured it and pretended to laugh.

"Really? Your should act up to your promise." Justin said hastily.

Beth looked at the figure in the lounge. "Of course."

Justin was even more anxious, "What is that?"

Beth beautiful lips curled in a contemptuous smile,  "Do you see the woman in the lounge? As long as you get her, me, Beth, I'm at your disposal."

Justin looked at the light blue figure in the lounge. She was also indeed a beauty.

"Deal."

Justin did not know much about Irene, nor did he know that she was Edward's wife. So he promised Beth fearlessly. He felt that he could conquer any woman.

......

Irene found a quiet corner in the lounge, sitting without eating much.

The desserts were a little bit greasy. It made Irene thirsty. She got up and tried to get some drinking.

At this time, a man stopped her, and then a disgusting smell of alcohol came out. Irene could not help but take a few steps back. She raised her head and looked at the drunk man in front of her, frowning instinctively.

When Justin saw Irene's face, he but found that she had a delicate face. Although Beth was a beauty, she was kind of coquettish, while Irene looked pure and fresh.

"Miss, do you want to drink water?" Justin said with a smile.

Irene didn't want to talk to him, so she just passed him and went straight forward.

But the man kept pace with her and talked endlessly. "Miss, can you give me your phone number? We can go out and play together."

Irene got a cup of water and wanted to return to her seat. She had seen this kind of person many times, ignoring him was the best way.

Justin, however, was impatient. He reached out his arms and stopeed Irene's way, "Hey, you, do you know who I am? Do you know how many women are waiting there to get along with me..."

Irene couldn't help but laugh. As she know, he was a rich playboy who relied on his family's background to flirt everywhere. She slightly shouldered her way and walked by Justin.

Justin saw Irene did say anything. He laughed scornfully.

He finally lost his temper. "Who do you think you are? How dare you pretend to be lofty! If i throw you on the bed, you are just a..."

Brfore Justin could finish his sentenc, Irene poured the who cup of water on Justin's face. Such a playboy who didn't take a woman seriously was really shameless.

"How dare you to do this to me, you b*tch." Justin said angrily as he wanted to slap Irene in the face.

Irene did not expect that this person would really dare to hit her. She did not react for a moment. She was almost ready to be beaten.

At this time, Irene opened her eyes and found Justin's hand was grabbed by another man's hand.

It was Edward.

Edward's expression was grim. His thin lips were tightly pressed together and his eyes were full of anger. At this moment he was like an angry leopard waiting for an opportunity to bite his prey.

"Edward." Irene whispered. She could feel his angry breath. It was the first time that she had seen him that mad.

"What did just say to my wife?" Edward asked.

When Justin heard the tone of Edward, he dared not to say a word.

Irene dragged Edward's hand, telling him not to be angry.

At this time, many people had already gathered around.

Edward could't help but anger. Justin was harassing his wife. And the words he said to Irene was extremely harsh. How could he stay calm!

"What did you say to my wife?" Edward continued to ask in a more serious tone, gnashing his teeth.

"I... I... What? Wife?" Justin was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected that Irene was Edward's wife.

This time, Justin was in trouble. Justin was afraid of Edward. Even his father had to respect him. He couldn't help but regret.

Without waiting for his response, Edward punched in Justin's face. Justin's nose immediately began to bleed.

Irene was frightened and immediately stopped Edward's second fist.The crowd was suddenly quiet and no one dared to stop him.

"Edward, calm down, that's enough. I want to go home." Irene did not want to make the matter worse. 

Far from the crowd, Beth's vision blurred. He could even ruin his reputation to protect Irene. Her nails were about to dig into her flesh, but she felt no pain.Because her heart ached even more.
