Chapter 482 The Unpleasant Surprise

She pouted defiantly, “Chandler, you’re really bewitched by her!”

Chandler raised an eyebrow. “Bewitched? Maybe. But let me ask you this. Meryl is my woman. Who are you to speak ill of her in front of me?”

Clearly, he wasn’t pleased anymore. Tonight, Rachel had more than once spoken ill of Meryl in his presence.

As Meryl’s husband, he couldn’t stand idly by. “Rachel, Meryl is my wife. She’s a kind and lovely person.”

As he spoke, Chandler unconsciously looked in Meryl’s direction, but she was gone.

Chandler was taken aback, thinking, “She left already? Did she go home? We were supposed to go together. Why didn’t she wait for me?” They hadn’t even had a chance to greet each other tonight.

At that moment, a staff member approached. Chandler thought it was time to pay. After all, he had just spent a hundred million dollars on a bracelet.

Chandler frowned, feeling displeased. Wasn’t this making a fool of him? He had never seen the organizers change their minds and not sell what had been auctioned off.

Chandler’s face turned cold, and the staff member quickly said, “As compensation, this is a small gift from the organizers. Please accept it.”

Chandler said uninterestedly without even glancing at it, “No need!”

The staff member thought he disliked it. “Please accept it. It’s a little token from the organizers.”

Chandler glanced at it. It was two tickets to the fireworks show. Every year, there was a fireworks display in Kingsdom, and the tickets were quite hard to get. These were for the best two spots.

Chandler accepted them. He wanted to take Meryl to watch it with him. A few months ago, he and Meryl had confessed their love under the fireworks by the sea. Perhaps after watching the fireworks show this time, their relationship would heat up again.

Rachel wanted Chandler to give her a ticket, but in the blink of an eye, he had already pocketed them.

The staff member then looked at Rachel. “Ms. Morgan. Mr. Powell would like to see you.”

Hearing this, Rachel immediately became wary. It was well known that the Powell family was hosting the auction tonight. So… the staff member must be referring to Felix, her fiancé.

“What does he want to see me for?” Rachel bit her lip, asking with an inexplicable sense of foreboding. She and Felix had been engaged for over a decade, during which they had never met.

Rumors circulated that Felix had a peculiar personality and was difficult to get along with. Coupled with his ten years in prison, no one knew what his character was like now.

When their marriage was arranged, Rachel was only ten years old. At that time, the Morgan family had fallen into decline, and she had to rely on distant relatives. The Morgan family’s decline was due to the Powell family, yet the Powell family had never offered her any help.

Naturally, she had no good impression of this fiancé she had never met. She just wanted to break off the engagement and get rid of this demon. Learning that Felix wanted to see her, Rachel felt uneasy.

“Ms. Morgan, you did a beautiful waltz.” The staff member smiled, “I mean the waltz you danced with Mr. Aniston in front of everyone. Wasn’t it to attract Mr. Powell’s attention? Congratulations. You succeeded.”

Hearing this, Rachel looked at Chandler unconsciously.

“Chandler, can you come with me?”

Chandler hadn’t spoken when the staff member immediately said, “Ms. Morgan. Mr. Powell said he will see only you.”
