    Chapter <i>55 </i>


    When they stopped outside the private room, Charles wrapped his arm around her waist, “Just going through the motions.”


    The door opened, and inside sat many people who were well connected in this circle.


    Among them were Leo and Quinn.


    The video of Lily spread wildly within the circle, and now when people see Ynda, they just treat it like a joke.


    It turns out women from the Grant residence can cheat too.


    Vivian is very popr in the circle, plus she’s Mr. Sinir, so she has a great reputation.


    Moreover, Vivian has a brother, Charles, who is extremely protective of her, and an uncle, Dominic, who’s involved with the underworld. Both are like wild dogs–if anyone makes Vivian ufortable in business, Charles will be the first to step in, and Dominic can quietly handle many problems behind the scenes.


    Because of that, few dare to offend her.


    And since she’s a woman, it’s easy to smooth things over.


    Vivian stood up and raised a ss. “There was a bit of a misunderstanding with Mrs. Sinir that day. I raise this ss to you–let’s bury the hatchet with this drink.”


    Several people at the scene happened to be at the backlot that day and saw Ynda was the one who started it. Now that Vivian takes the initiative to speak about it, she seems more generous than Ynda.


    Charles’s gazended on Vivian. She smiled generously, “Mr. Sinir, we’ll have plenty more chances to meet. We can’t let this ruin our feelings toward each other.”


    She smiled as she ced a ss in front of Ynda, her eyes full of malice. “Mrs. Sinir, drink up.”


    Only Ynda could see her malice.


    Ynda knew she was smugly telling everyone around that the women of the Grant residence were nothing


    In this circle, family influence and the power in hand matter most


    She took the cup and drank it all in one breath.


    Charles stood beside her, cupped her face, and kissed her lips twice. “Alright, you made the first move; no need to keep such a serious face!


    His words cased the atmosphere, and Vivian siniled, saying, “Mr. Sinir is really gentle with Mrs. Sinir.”


    She ced the wine ss on the coffee table as she spoke of gentleness. “Mrs. Sinir doesn’t seem to go out much. It’s crowded tonight, good thing you weren’t scared‘ <fnfd26> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? find?novel</fnfd26>


    Thatment carried malice too. Charles hadn’t brought her to events like this before.


    This was her first time facing so many people–and it was to apologize.


    Tonight Vivian was the star; Ynda was just a clown.

    Vivian kept ying rock–paper–scissors with people, then drinking with others, smoothly mingling all around.


    Her gaze kept drifting onto Charles’s face from time to time.


    Their eyes met in the air, sparks flying.


    Ynda pretended not to notice, sat down next to Charles, and overheard some whispers.


    “Lily’s ashes were thrown away, so pitiful.”


    “But who made her cheat? She was a woman of the Grant residence. Cheating was basically asking for trouble.”


    The Grant residence was cruel too, not even sending anyone to retrieve her. It was a good Samaritan who fished her out, and only after the police informed them to collect the body did they know.”


    Ynda felt a tightness in her chest and just happened to see Charles leaning over, shielding Vivian from a


    drink


    Vivianughed and joked with others, then patted Charles’s shoulder, acting like a tough girl.


    In contrast, Ynda sat quietly nearby, almost invisible.


    She didn’t really know any of the people here; the only familiar face was Quinn, but he was somewhat distant from her.


    Leo was sitting next to her at the moment, and because of the Lily situation, she didn’t have a good impression of the Lawsons.


    Leo was friends with Charles, but unlike Max and Quinn, he held a strong grudge against Ynda


    So he leaned in close on purpose and said. “Everyone here knows Charles has already slept with Vivian.”


    Ynda kept hershes lowered and stared at the drink in front of her, saying nothing in return.


    Leo frowned, then suddenlyughed. “They say the women at the Grant residence are weak–and it’s true. Before you came in, some were quietly talking, saying they didn’t know what sleeping with <b>you </b>was like. Charles obviously doesn’t care–he’d prefer to be with his side chick”


    He scanned her face with a proud tone. “Ynda, oh Ynda, even giving yourself away for free, people still look down on you. If I were you, I’d just jump in the river
