Chapter 76: Bryan Moore Had Also Come to the Banquet
The lobby on the first floor of Phoenix Restaurant was reserved. Kevin led Shirley to sit by the window
and ordered the waiter to serve the two kids some desserts or congee first.
The two kids were sitting on Kevin’s lap, and the atmosphere was instantly joyful with them talking and
laughing together.
Shirley pulled two high chairs for the kids, patting the chairs, and said, “Jacob, stop sitting on Kevin’s
lap. Get down.”
Jacob was obedient as he got down Kevin’s lap after Shirley’s instruction and sat on the high chair.
While Emma, on the other hand, held Kevin’s arm and pouted, “Mommy, I still want to talk to Daddy
Mitchell. He is going to tell me a story.”
“Emma.” Shirley became serious suddenly.
Kevin looked at her and said with a smile on his face, “I want to hug the kids too. They can indulge
when being with me. No need to reprimand them like this.”
“Kevin, you’ll spoil them both,” Shirley said with difficulty.
Kevin chuckled, “You always said that I’d spoil them, but every time I see them, they are so well-
behaved and obedient.”
He picked Emma up and helped her adjust her sitting position to rest her back on his waist, with her
legs resting on his knees, before turning to the next page of the storybook.
Shirley glanced at Emma in displeasure, then she turned her head to look down the hall.
Not all the guests sitting at the banquet were fellow students. There were many unfamiliar faces, and
Shirley thought that this banquet was not simple.
She poured herself a glass of water and asked, “Kevin, didn’t Mr. Stewart say it was just a meal? But I
see that he has invited so many of the upper class!”
Kevin looked up at Shirley, “As a matter of fact, Mr. Stewart intends to set up a studio in City L.”
“Really?” Shirley’s eyes lit up, feeling joyous inside.
That way, she would no longer be on her own and Mildred in City L, as she would have Arthur and her
fellow senior brothers and sisters around her.
At that moment, a commotion arose in the banquet hall. Mildred, who was sitting beside Shirley,
nudged her.
Shirley subconsciously turned her head to look at Mildred and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Mildred still had the kelp silk in her mouth as she glanced in the direction of the stairway, hinting at
something.
While the group of women behind her murmured, “Mr. Stewart has invited the young director of the
Moore Group.”
“I heard that he has a strange disease, and many psychologists couldn’t even cure him. Amelia, aren’t
you engaged in psychology? You can have a try.” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yeah, and it just so happens that you don’t have anything else to do. With your perfumery skills
coupled with your expertise in psychology, you will definitely be Mr. Moore’s best psychiatrist.”
Shirley frowned, hearing the last sentence. She turned her head to look in the direction Mildred had
hinted at.
Bryan walked up from the stairway, and her master, Arthur, quickly greeted him. The two shook hands
in a friendly manner.
Bryan dressed simply but respectably tonight, wearing an expensive black shirt, with the two buttons
unbuttoned at the collar, and a pair of black trousers, not even a single crease on his clothing.
His arrival caused quite a stir. Bryan was handsome and noble, and he rose to the top at a young age,
being the youngest heir to the Moore family, now even the position of director, and unmarried.
Such a wealthy, handsome and single man naturally drew the attention of the unmarried women on the
scene, casting sheep’s eyes at him.
Shirley knitted her brows.
“Why is he here?” Shirley looked at Kevin.
Kevin smiled helplessly, “I didn’t know Mr. Stewart would invite him here either.”
Shirley took a deep breath, and she always felt strange meeting Bryan on such an occasion.
At this moment, someone passed by her. And Shirley turned around to see that it was precisely Amelia.
Amelia had changed into the dress that Kevin had given her. It was an oversized red checkered
cocktail dress. The design was simple and generous, and it fitted the woman’s curves well.
Amelia approached Arthur, politely, warmly, and graciously guiding Bryan, “Mr. Moore, please be
seated.”
Mildred immediately tugged on Shirley’s arm, glaring at Amelia, “What’s that woman doing? Does she
want to steal your money man?”
The term ‘money man’ had nothing to do with sexual relationships for them in this industry.
Shirley felt discomfort inside when she saw Bryan did not refuse and nod to Amelia.
She kept her eyes fixed on Bryan, thinking that Bryan couldn’t see her. But when Amelia was guiding
him to his seat, Bryan suddenly turned his head, looking at Shirley. And when Amelia pulled out the
chair for him to sit, Bryan turned around and walked in Shirley’s direction.
Amelia was startled, and she immediately called out, chasing after Bryan, “Mr. Moore, your seat is at
the first table, the VIP table.”
“Need not. I’ll sit here.” He pointed.
Amelia’s gaze instantly fell on the woman next to Shirley.
Mildred Walker!
This bitch again.
Could it be that Mr. Moore had an affair with Mildred?
Mildred had just been drinking water and spurted out a mouthful of water when she saw Bryan pointing
at her. She then coughed as she consciously got up to make way.
Amelia frowned, seeing this.
Bryan had already pulled out the chair and sat on the one that Mildred had just sat on. While Mildred
had gone around the table and sat next to Kevin. But she didn’t expect that Amelia would sit directly in
front of Bryan.
Mildred blew her top seeing this. She glared at Amelia and said, “Ms. Jones, aren’t you sitting at the
table behind? Why have you come to our table?”
As Amelia just sat down, Mildred’s words had poured cold water on the joy she felt in her heart
instantly.
Amelia scowled at Mildred defiantly, but since Bryan was around, she had to suppress her bad temper
and said with a smile, Mr. Stewart let me entertain Mr. Moore well.”
“There’s Kevin and Dr. Thomas here to receive him. You can go ahead now.” Mildred just didn’t want to
see Amelia sitting next to Bryan. What was this all about? Did she really think to steal Shirley’s money
man?
It was just building castles in the air.
Amelia rolled her eyes, turned her head, and introduced herself to Bryan, “Mr. Moore, the one next to
you is my junior sister, who joined the industry five years after me. This is my senior, and the two kids
are Shirley’s children.”
Amelia deliberately introduced the kids as well, just to tell Bryan that the woman next to him had given
birth to two children.
Kevin smiled politely while Shirley glanced at her faintly.
Bryan let out a low voice and glanced at Shirley. His gaze then fell on Kevin, seeing him holding Emma
in his arms and doting her. Bryan was icier…
