Starting with A Divorce Chapter 60

Chapter 60 Telepathy

Everyone knew that the host of this grand banquet was the Gage family, and so was the main character.

In front of the French window on the west side of the hall, there were many golden candlesticks. The dim light was flashing. Ainsley

stood with a glass of champagne in her hand. Manuel was right beside her.

He took a glass of wine from a passing waiter and handed it to Ainsley. “Why don’t you try this? You will like it.”

Ainsley put the glass in her hand aside and took the glass from Manuel. A faint violet fragrance drifted over. “This is Nebbiolo red wine?”

“That’s right. Aisy, guess where this is from.”

Ainsley took a sip. The wine had a rich violet fragrance and a faint cherry–like taste. She smiled and said, “Is it from a winery in Barbaresco?”

Manuel nodded. There were only two production areas of Nebbiolo red wine. It was easy to distinguish between them. Barolo’s red wine was full–bodied, while Barbaresco’s red wine was more like a seductive woman.

Ainsley took another sip. She knew little about red wine. She had only drunk it before and remembered the taste. However, she had forgotten where she had drunk it.

“You let her go so easily?” Manuel raised his eyebrows.

“Videos taken in illegal ways cannot be used as evidence, neither can photos that are taken secretly.” Ainsley took a sip of the wine.

Her lips landed on the edge of the glass.

Manuel looked at her with a smile. He clinked glasses with her and said apologetically, “I was careless.”

“Speaking of which, you saved me again this time. Mr. Gage, I owe you another favor,” Ainsley said with a smile.

“That’s what I should do. Aisy, you’re too polite.” Manuel’s voice was magnetic and affectionate.

“How did you discover that I was in the garden?” Ainsley was very confused. At that time, Manuel must have been discussing NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

something with Koen. She was only taken to the back garden for a while.

Manuel tapped his fingertips on the edge of the glass, and the corner of his lips curved slightly. “Before I left, I told Serina and you to wait for me there, but I didn’t see you later. Even Serina was gone. All the women at the banquet were either wearing dazzling or demure dresses, yet none of them looked as fresh and elegant as you. I only glanced at them and knew that you were not in the

banquet hall.”

He paused and let out a light breath. “Or to put it bluntly, it is because of telepathy.”

“Are you so frivolous to all the girls?”

“No, only to you,” he smiled, his eyes reflecting the candlelight were bright and warm.

Ainsley’s fingertips trembled slightly, and her heart throbbed. It was like something was about to happen between them. Her cheeks were hot, and she said as if trying to escape, “I’ll go take a look at Serina.”

Manuel narrowed his eyes slightly and drank the wine in one gulp. His eyes were only fixed on the woman in a white dress, and his

eyes were gentler than before.

After the banquet, Serina badgered Ainsley into going back with her..

“Manuel, you have to send me back.” Serina held Manuel’s arm and pulled him toward Ainsley with all her might. Serina winked at her brother encouragingly.

Manuel couldn’t drive after drinking, so Roman had to drive them back.

Just as Ainsley was about to open the door to get into the passenger seat, Serina stopped her immediately. “Ainsley, my chest feels tight now. I have to sit in the passenger seat. You can sit in the back seat with Manuel,” Serina said and immediately sat in the

passenger seat.

Ainsley and Manuel sat in the back seats. The window was open, and the cold wind blew on their faces. The smell of alcohol was

blown away a lot.

When they arrived at the apartment building, Serina immediately drove Roman out of the car.

Ainsley laughed in a low voice and also got out of the car.

Serina seized every opportunity to match–make Ainsley and Manuel. Roman was pulled aside by Serina.

“Serina, let’s go upstairs. Mr. Gage drank some wine. He has to go back to rest.” Ainsley walked to Serina and held her hand.

“But, Manuel…” Serina widened her eyes ärid winked at Manuel.

Manuel said softly, “Serina, Ms. Easton is tired. And you should go back to rest.”

“Alright then.” Serina was pulled back to the apartment by Ainsley.

Manuel and Roman leaned against the car side by side, watching them walk in.

“Have a cigarette.” Roman took out a cigarette and handed it to Manuel.

Manuel took it and only held it between his fingers.

“What should we do with the Baldry family?”

“Wam them.”

The sky was getting darker, and they got into the car.

After the banquet, Ainsley could focus on Psychology Quiz Show.

Just as she submitted the proposal, Serina came over with a stack of forms. “Ainsley, look, there are a lot of people registering for this show. I heard from a senior that the number of people registering this time was at least twice as many as before.”

Ainsley took the registration forms and flipped through them. “So many?”

“It’s okay, Ainsley. I have already gone to the president of Student Union this morning and borrowed the school’s largest performance

hall,” Serina smiled.

Ainsley rubbed Serina’s head. “You’re so sweet. You’ve helped me a lot.”

They got a venue, and the rest things had already been arranged. The project of the show had basically been determined.

At University of Washington, Kaitlin entered the classroom. She saw some students pointing at her and saying something.

She did not know what had happened until Jenny entered the classroom and carefully walked over to her side. “Kaitlin, do you still not

know what happened? Take a look at the forum first.”

Kaitlin immediately took out her phone, and a caption appeared. “Kaitlin schemed against Ainsley at the Gage family’s banquet. Was

Kaitlin jealous or taking revenge?”

This article described everything Kaitlin had done at the banquet as if the author had experienced it.

The post had already been read many times and caused a lot of discussions.

“I have long felt that Kaitlin is a bad person. She is evil. Look at how arrogant she is at school. The Baldry family is nothing in front of the Gage family.”

“So she did this sort of thing. Not long ago, Kaitlin had been framing Ms. Easton. Moreover, Kaitlin actually did such a despicable thing. This is too disgusting.”

“Just thinking about being classmates with this sort of person makes me afraid. In the past, she even bullied quite a few people.”

Kaitlin was immediately enraged. She scrolled through the comments for a moment before angrily slamming her phone on the table.

The good image that she had built with great difficulty had been shattered because of this post. Who exactly was the poster?

“Kaitlin, are you alright?” Jenny saw Kaitlin’s expression and felt a bit of fear.

Kaitlin did not answer. She picked up her phone and ran out.

In Psychological Counseling Room, Ainsley was talking to a student.

“Ms. Easton, I always feel a lot of pressure. My family thinks that I am not working hard…”

Ainsley said gently, “At your current stage, it is normal to have pressure. Senior year is a sensitive period. You have to prepare a thesis and find a job…”
