Her Sensational Return with Triplets After Six Years

Chapter 97 Meeting Her Ex Again

Chapter 97 Meeting Her Ex Again

Later, Raymond naturally introduced her to these business tycoons. Although it had been six or seven

years since Bethany left this circle, born as a lady of a rich family, she could still socialize with ease.

Raymond was surprised by how poised and graceful Bethany was on such a grand occasion. She was

so familiar with etiquette and social manners that she could socialize with them effortlessly.

As the melodious jazz music was played, everyone instinctively paired up and started dancing.

Raymond gently wrapped his arm around Bethany's waist, and the latter naturally rested her hand on

his shoulder.

They had an amazing mutual understanding, seamlessly coordinating their every move with perfect

harmony.

"You did really well just now," Raymond praised her and then asked curiously, "Did you attend this kind

of banquet frequently in the past?"

She wouldn't be so proficient in socialization if she didn't attend banquets frequently.

"Not really," Bethany replied. "When my father was still alive, he would take me to such occasions."

Bethany had mentioned to him before that she was born into a wealthy family but her family declined

later. It seemed like her birth family must be very wealthy before.

"Well, that piques my interest in your previous family background," Raymond remarked.

Actually, Bethany had planned to tell him about these things before, but...

"You won't expect me to talk about it on this kind of occasion, will you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, he tightened his grasp around her waist, almost lifting her off the

ground.

"No, keep it for later, and tell me slowly..."

He whispered in her ear. It tickled, but on the surface, Bethany remained composed and still danced

with him gracefully.

Raymond was very satisfied with her reaction. He had a growing sense that the more he got to know

Bethany, the more novelty he felt.

After a while, there came some exclamations from the entrance. And Bethany also faintly heard that.

"Isn't that Mr. Adriel Tucker, the vice chairman of Ocean International Company? I saw in the news that

Ocean International Company has established a construction company, and their first project is Mr.

Zavala's entertainment city. It's truly remarkable."

"I've heard many of Mr. Tucker's legends. He has risen to become the vice chairman of Ocean

International Company in five or six years. It's such a short period! He's really a legend in the business

world."

"Yes, seeing him by myself today makes me believe that he is truly extraordinary."

...

Bethany had already heard plenty of flattering words a while ago. As this was very common on

occasions like this, she didn't take this to her heart. However...

"I appreciate your kind words, but the construction company under Ocean International Company has

just started. I'm new to Parkville, and I hope to learn from all of you," Adriel responded.

Bethany felt the voice familiar.

She turned to look at the entrance, and when she saw his face clearly, her heart seemed to stop

beating. She who was dancing with Raymond became flustered and accidentally stepped on

Raymond's foot.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Realizing that she had stepped on Raymond's foot, Bethany quickly

apologized. Fearing that this would draw Adriel's attention, she lowered her head in a hurry and This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

continued to dance with Raymond, pretending as if nothing had happened.

But how could she truly act as if nothing had happened? Her heart was in turmoil.

It had been seven years since. Adriel had disappeared from her world for a whole seven years! She

had imagined what it would be like to reunite with him, but she never expected it to happen like this.

Why did he suddenly show up at this banquet? From the discussion of those guests... Did they say that

Adriel was now Raymond's partner? Was it just a coincidence? Then...

"Bethany? Bethany?"

Hearing Raymond's voice, she snapped out of her thoughts in a panic and looked at him, asking,

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"What's wrong with you?" Raymond could certainly sense her unease.

"Nothing... Nothing at all," Bethany forced a smile to conceal her emotions and fell silent.

Raymond turned to look at Adriel. He was certain that Bethany became flustered after seeing him.

Adriel? Adriel Tucker?

Moreover... Arial once told him that his girlfriend was also in this city now and that they separated in

helplessness back then although he loved her very much.

"Bethany, let me introduce you to my business partner," Raymond stopped dancing and took her hand.

Was he taking her to greet Adriel? Bethany paused in her movements. Sensing her reluctance,

Raymond deliberately asked, "What's wrong? You don't want to go?"

"Nah."

Seeing Adriel, Bethany's instinct was to avoid him and find an excuse to leave this banquet quickly. But

when Raymond asked this question, she suddenly changed her mind as she remembered what

Raymond once said to her.

"If you want to move on from your pain, you must face it directly."

Since Adriel was now Raymond's business partner, it was inevitable for them to meet in the future.

Moreover, she was now Bethany Caldwell and had started a new life.

"Let's go." Bethany smiled at Raymond and naturally took his arm. This surprised him because he

thought she would find an excuse like not feeling well to leave

Only then did Adriel's gaze turn towards Bethany, and Raymond never took his eyes off Adriel's face as

he observed his reaction.

"Mr. Tucker, you're late today." With Raymond's approach, people surrounding Adriel naturally

dispersed. Upon hearing Raymond's words, Adriel apologized, "There was something wrong with my

car when I drove here. So, Mr. Zavala, I hope won't hold it against me."

"Why would I?" With that, Raymond raised his hands and embraced Bethany. Then he said, "Let me

introduce you to each other. This is my business partner, Adriel Tucker, the vice chairman of Ocean

Construction. And this is my fiancée."

Only then did Adriel turn to look at Bethany. Yet Raymond never took his eyes off Adriel's face as he

had been observing his reaction.

As he had expected, Adriel was shocked when he saw Bethany. Although he tried to keep calm, his

eyes had betrayed him. However, his emotional fluctuation was fleeting as he quickly regained his

composure.

"Hello, Mr. Tucker," Bethany greeted him with a smile, looking calm and elegant. Her voice sounded

composed and she who was in an expensive gown looked very noble. "I'm Bethany Caldwell."

Bethany Caldwell?

Upon hearing the name, Adriel smiled lightly and extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner. "Hello,

I'm Adriel Tucker."

Bethany also confidently reached out her hand, giving a brief handshake before retracting it.

She was surprised by Adriel's composure. He looked as if he had seen a stranger. Didn't he recognize

her? Or was he just pretending not to know her? She had no idea.

She once thought that she knew this man well, but since the moment he disappeared from her world,

she realized that she had never truly understood him.

"Mr. Zavala, your fiancée is so beautiful," Adriel praised.

"She's the woman I chose. And undoubtedly, she's a very outstanding one." Raymond responded

without any modesty. Bethany looked up at him when she heard his words. She was sure that he had

noticed everything.

Later, Bethany stood by Raymond's side obediently during the ribbon-cutting ceremony and listened to

him gracefully when he made a speech. Meanwhile, Adriel, who stood offstage, had been fixing his

gaze on Bethany. There seemed to be something under his calm face...
