Swept Into a Fairytale Marriage

Chapter 76 This Man Fears Farrah

Adrian nodded slightly without saying anything, but he could not help noticing Farrah’s unique beauty. His Tukewarm reaction put Germaine at ease, boosting her confidence that she outshone Farrah as the most beautiful woman of the evening.

Mark proudly introduced Farrah to his old friends, beaming as he said, “This is Farrah. She’s a talented designer. Please give her your support.”

With a gentle smile, Farrah greeted everyone gracefully with a wine glass in hand. “It’s nice to meet you,” she said humbly to each person.

This scene made Adrian uncomfortable. He knew there was no blood relation between Mark and Farrah, but as her husband, he felt a twinge of possessiveness, though he could not quite explain why.

While Adrian’s date for the night was Germaine, and they looked every bit the power couple as they mingled with guests, his gaze kept drifting back to Farrah,

He could not help but observe her movements throughout the evening. He noticed that Farrah possessed a striking beauty. Moreover, she exuded a captivating, quiet confidence from all angles.

Another notable attendee on the guest list was Riley’s husband, Ryan.

As a new hire at Prestige Group and a minor project leader in the collaboration with Mark, this banquet held special significance for Ryan. For someone like Ryan, rubbing shoulders with the CEO and other executives at such a high–profile event was a rare opportunity.

He even splurged on a 3,000–dollar suit for the occasion, determined to make a lasting impression on Adrian to boost his future career prospects.

As Farrah glanced around the room, she spotted the familiar face. Meanwhile, Ryan was approaching Adrian with a wine glass in hand.

“Good evening. Mr. Locke,” Ryan said, trying to mask his nervousness with a smile as he stood before Adrian. Even so, Farrah could tell Ryan was actually happy.

Adrian, holding his own glass, looked at Ryan with a mild expression, not recognizing him.

“I’m Ryan Brooks from Project Management,” Ryan introduced himself. “I recently joined your company, and I’m working under Mr. Keith Lowell.”

Adrian nodded and raised his glass slightly. “Welcome to Prestige. Glad to have you on board.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Ryan was thrilled by this acknowledgment. He gently clinked his glass with Adrian’s, maintaining his smile throughout the exchange. Then, Adrian took a small sip, while Ryan drained his glass entirely.

From across the pool, Farrah watched this interaction Seeing Ryan’s polite and gentlemanly demeanor, she recalled the bruises on Riley’s neck. Her blood began to boil.

As more guests approached Adrian, Ryan had to step aside. In such a setting, he knew he could not monopolize Adrian’s time. Farrah saw her chance and made her way toward Ryan. In a quiet corner of the garden, she confronted him.

“Farrah?” Ryan was surprised and pleased to see her. “What are you doing at an event like this?”

“What do you mean, ‘an event like this? Farrah asked, barely containing her anger. “Are you implying that this event is too high–class for me? And only you’re worthy of being here?”

The Man Fears Farrah

“No, no, that’s not what I meant…” Ryan sensed the tension and tried to smile.

*Ryan, how dare you hit Riley!”

Ryan panicked. “Can we discuss this another time?”

“Why wait?” Farrah glared at him, keeping her voice low. “What’s wrong? Afraid I’ll make a scene and ruin your career prospects?”

Ryan grew more anxious, knowing full well what Farrah was capable of. From a distance, Adrian’s gaze fell on Farrah. He noticed her talking intently with Ryan, the two seemingly quite familiar with each other.
