Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 35

Violette chimed in, "Yeah, he's loaded. But he's old, unattractive, and in poor health."

Everyone was stunned.

So, who could this old, ugly, and unhealthy rich man be?

"Miss Dennis, you may proceed to the second floor now," a server informed her.

Violette quickly looked up.

The house had an open courtyard design.

From the first floor living room, one could see the railing on the second floor.

Elijah's bodyguard was standing by the railing, looking down at her from above.

After Violette followed the waiter upstairs, t

he people who had been mocking Violette just a moment ago suddenly changed their expressions.

The banquet tonight was attended by all wealthy or noble individuals.

But even among the rich, there were different levels.

For instance, tonight, the average rich people were arranged on the first floor banquet hall.

While those with great social influence were arranged on the second floor.

"Violette was assigned to the second floor. Who the heck is her sponsor?"

"I have no clue! We can't get to the second floor. All I can say is, Violette sure has some tricks up her

sleeve! Even if her sponsor is old and ugly, she's scored!"

"As far as I know, there are no old guests tonight!"

"Was Violette lying to us earlier?"

Everyone turned their gaze to the second floor, b

ut they couldn't see anything.

Second floor.

There weren't many people here; less than ten men sat around a round table.

Violette sat down next to Elijah.

The table was laden with delicious dishes.

Violette looked at him, "You didn't invite me here just to have a meal, did you?"

Elijah saw her frown and said in a deep voice, "Kaleb will be here too. You two met secretly while I was

away, didn't you? I brought you here tonight to make that meeting public."

Violette didn't expect that to be his intention.

He thought she and Kaleb had rekindled their old flame and couldn't bear to be apart for a day?

What a joke!

She hadn't eaten dinner and was now starving, so she didn't have time to argue with him.

"Mr. Bourne, your nephew Kaleb still owes me twenty million! Normally, I wouldn't care about this

amount, but I heard you two are not on good terms, so I'm going to ask him for the money."

"Kaleb sent my underage daughter a suggestive message last time, and I found out. I gave him a piece

of my mind over the phone! He can't scam any investments from me, so he tried to scam my daughter!

Disgusting!" NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

"Mr. Bourne's nephew is infamous in the investment world. Whatever he invests in fails. Such a fool is

pitiful. If not for his father's support, he would have been done for!"

...

As everyone was mocking Kaleb, Elijah's gaze unintentionally met hers.

"Do you want to see if I can't eat?" Violette looked at him, "The food is good. I'm full."

She put down her cutlery.

"I'm not interested in your conversation, so I'll be leaving now!"

When she got up from her chair,

Elijah reached out and grabbed her arm, stopping her from leaving.

She forcefully shook off his hand, her eyes flashing with slight anger, "Elijah, you're so annoying. I need

to go back and write my paper! If you won't let me leave, I'll send my paper to your email and you can

finish it for me."

Seeing her angry, Elijah let go of her.

As she descended from the second floor and reached the first, she saw Kaleb flattering a group of

people.

She had long lost her feelings for Kaleb, so she quickly averted her gaze and strode out of the

mansion.

10 o'clock at night.

A black Rolls-Royce drove into the Bourne family estate.

When Lacey saw Elijah return, she curiously asked, "Sir, didn't the madam come back with you?"

Elijah lifted his wrist, glanced at his watch, and frowned slightly, "She left at eight, didn't she come

back?"
