Chapter 161

One by one, many people came to toast. First, they toasted the director, then Jared
Of course, today was Agnes’s wrap party, and naturally, she was the star of the show Although Agnes was substituting juice for alcohol, she still drank quite a bit.
Halfway through the banquet. Jared stood up and said, “I have a few friends here today, I’ll bring Agnes to say hi.”
Agnes followed Jared out and curiously asked, “Who are these friends you’re taking me to meet?”
Jared responded, “It’s Brayden’s birthday today, and he’s having a little get together here. We ran into them when we carne in, so it wouldn’t be nice not to say hi. Plus, I can introduce you to them.”
Agnes knew who Brayden was. He was part of one of the Four Families of Willowbrook.
The Four Families of Willowbrook
the Whitfield family, the Bowman family, the Simonds family, and the Bartley family all had business dealings with one another From the previous generation, they had been friends, and the intertwined interests involved were quite complex
The Simonds family was a hot topic whenever people chatted leisurely.
Brayden was the only third generation of the Simonds family. The Simonds family had few descendants, with only one old lady supporting a huge family business. Therefore, the old lady’s only wish was to have a great–grandson as soon as possible to continue the Simonds family line. So, it was said that the old lady arranged an engagement for Brayden with a girl since he was young, and forced them to marry abroad as soon as they came of age.
However, Brayden did not like the girl at all and had never shown her off in public. He was always clamoring for a divorce. The problem was that the girl was also eager to break up. The couple was always at odds and constantly fighting. But it had been two years now, and they still hadn’t divorced.
Agnes curiously asked, “It’s Brayden’s birthday, so will his rumored mysterious wife also be there?”
Jared said, “I don’t know, we’ll find out when we get there”
Agnes followed Jared through several water corridors and finally entered a luxurious private room at the far east. This was probably the most elegant and quiet place in Noir
Pushing open the door, the lively atmosphere hit them. There were seven or eight men in the room. And, of course, each had a stunningly beautiful lady by his side.
Agnes took a closer look and realized that these ladies were all minor celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Maria, just played the lead role in a new drama and gained a lot of fame. Sydney, known in the entertainment industry for her girl–next–door image, had countless die–hard fans. Jessica, who just participated in the Victoria’s Secret show in Paris, was outstanding and her worth skyrocketed
There were many familiar faces from the entertainment industry that she didn’t expect to see here.
They had clearly finished eating. Some were playing pool, some were sitting on the couch rolling dice, others were chatting.
Sydney, who was always as pure as a white lily, was now flirting and sitting on a man’s lap, “Shawn, I just made a mistake because my hand shook. Can I have another try?”
Shewn, the man they called, said with a mischievous look in his eyes, “You were the one who suggested this game of Jenga. Our agreement was that whoever’s tower falls first has to strip off an article of clothing. You can’t back out now, it’s your turn.”
Sydney pretended to be reluctant but still took off her lacy little shawl, revealing a backless tank top underneath. After taking off her shawl, she gently tapped Shawn’s chest, “You really don’t feel sorry for me at all.”
Shawn laughed loudly. “Let’s continue, I want to count how many clothes you’re wearing today.”
“You’re such a jerk!” Sydney said
Agnes stood at the door, shocked by the scene inside.
