The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 343 An Interesting And Dangerous Woman

Caesar was mindful of Charles status as an elder, so the former said nothing in response

Gerhardt Rotundum, who was chattering with a few dukes in the distance, happened to notice the scene on the other side.

His face twisted into a stern look as he marched over. “Vidar, have you forgotten about your lowly status? What makes you think Caesar should respect you?”

Charles scowled harder with displeasure when he saw Gerhardt approaching “Lord Gerhardt, don’t forget that Her Highness took me in as her son. That makes me nominally an elder of Caesar.”

Gerhardt’s expression clouded over dramatically when he heard that. Charles was not wrong, so the former merely let out a contemptuous scoff before storming off with his glass of champagne.

At the side of the resplendent banquet hall was a violin band. The melodious music that came from their instruments quickly dispelled the negative atmosphere from carlier.

Caesar, on the other hand, only had eyes for Gwendolyn. Fixing his mesmerizing blue eyes on her, he held his hand out as a gentleman would and asked, “May I have the honor of inviting the beautiful Ms. Harris to a dance?”

Gwendolyn had just parted her lips to give her answer when Charles stepped in. “Don’t push it, Caesar. How dare you invite my partner to a dance?”

He shot Caesar a warning glare and held his hand out to Gwendolyn.

“Gwen, things look rather exciting on the dance floor. Let’s join them.”

Gwendolyn’s eyes darted between the two men’s hands before she grabbed them by their sleeves and placed them in each other’s palms.

“I don’t know how to dance. Why don’t you guys go without me? I need to go to the restroom, anyway. I’ll be back soon.”

Worried about her being alone, Charles offered, “I’ll get Jonahi to go with you. The palace is too big, and you might get lost easily.”

A frown instantly appeared on Gwendolyn’s forehead. “Don’t you think it’s weird to make a grown man like Jonah follow me to the restroom? I can find my way. At most, I’ll ask the maids for directions.”

“But…” Charles could not bear to let her go alone, so he offered, “I’ll go with you, then. I’ll wait for you. outside.”
