The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 257

She had attended major film festivals and walked numerous red carpets, even being Invited as a heavyweight guest to various banquets.

However, no man had ever taken the initiative to refuse to hold her hand as they made their

entrance.

This was an utter humiliation for her.

But she quickly smiled, hiding her displeasure in her heart. “I understand, CEO Storm, be rest assured, I won’t make things difficult for you with Miss Grace.”

Eder nodded, his long and proud legs stepping out of the car, taking the lead to get out.

Immediately, Eric followed suit, going to the other side to help Ava open the car door.

As soon as the two appeared, they became the focus of everyone’s attention, with camera flashes clicking all around them.

Ava effortlessly handled such scenes, her smile elegant and noble. The two of them entered side by side, but they maintained a perfect distance, not even brushing against each other’s clothing.

Throughout the subsequent social interactions and engagements, Ava remained well–behaved and maintained an appropriate distance.

Eder’s guard against her loosened slightly.

Grace had arrived at the venue long before the two of them.

Tom pouted in frustration. “Eder!”

“Huh?” Grace was puzzled. “You came to S City, and you haven’t even talked to him, right? How did he manage to bother you?”

“He intercepted you before I reached the legal age for marriage. Now, with the commercial alliance between the Grant and Smith families, I probably won’t have a chance in this lifetime!”

Grace couldn’t help but chuckle and playfully flick his forehead with her finger.

“What are you thinking! Even if I’m not engaged to him, I don’t like men younger than me!”

Tom grumbled, “You’re talking nonsense! You said you liked me before!”
