Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 485 Kicking My Woman Out?

“Trust me, Melody. It’s quite normal to not understand.” Kenneth teased matter-of-factly.

Meanwhile, Melody was quite used to his behavior, so she calmly turned her back to him and walked off.

Kenneth took another look in the direction that Elise had walked off in before he finally moved and caught up to Melody.

Before the official start of the gem auction event, the founding families of Dukethorn organized a party under the pretext of welcoming guests from all over the country. In actual fact, it was just an opportunity provided for each different force to find out in advance about their opponents’ actual capabilities.

Naturally, Elise was invited as well.

However, she wasn’t interested in building up her contacts, nor did she have any interest in probing for her opponents’ limits. She was mainly there to have some fun.

There were plenty of different gemstones usually available at the gem auction event, but the top-grade stones were usually monopolized by the founding families of Dukethorn. The middle-grade ones would then end up in the hands of the Dukethorn locals, while the lower graded ones were the ones that became available elsewhere.

It wasn’t that the Dukethorn local players intentionally ganged up against the outsiders, but it was purely because this was an industry that was dependent on one’s abilities. Therefore, the locals had relied on this as their livelihood since generations ago, so they usually had an eye for picking out the best gemstones. Naturally, this was something that the outsiders couldn’t quite compare against.

The next night, Elise brought Tom along with her to attend the dinner.

The party was quite crowded, so no one noticed them as they walked into the hall.

Truth was, the Dukethorn locals had an inborn sense of superiority and they looked down on the outsiders.

However, as soon as Kenneth and Melody appeared at the party, it caused a slight commotion.

“Mr. Bailey, thanks for gracing us with your presence. This year’s gem auction event is definitely going to be much more exclusive with you being here, and it’s great that you and Miss Melody are as sweet together as always.” Someone walked up to the duo and flatteringly fawned over them.

However, Kenneth’s face was impassive and he calmly pursed his lips and said, “Melody’s my most capable assistant, that’s all. I hope you guys can spare some thought for her and watch your words. After all, this could affect her future prospects.”

“Oh—I understand. We’ve spoken too much. Come, Mr. Bailey; let’s head inside.”

The group of men placed a hand on each other’s shoulders and they walked toward the corner after exchanging a few short sentences.

Meanwhile, Melody followed Kenneth without any complaints, not looking the least bit upset.
