Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 206

The gown was dragged across the ground, sweeping it as she walked. Jay looked on as she left in pique and let out a smirk.

Grayson felt distressed about the ten grand evening gown being hauled that way. 'It was indeed destined t o be laid to waste.’

There was a smile in Jay's eyes when he said, "Only a woman without vanity will trample on the good stuff I've given in such a way." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Grayson grew petrified as he froze.

'Is Mr. Ares boasting about Rose Loyle?'

Why did it suddenly feel like the whole time he helped Mr. Ares out in mistreating Rose would turn out to be a self-inflicted sin and he would not live to survive it?

He could merely hope that it was an illusion.

Once Rose entered the banquet’s entrance, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Her beauty was extraordinarily exquisite, and the evening gown she wore helped her stand out from the crowd.

Rose became the focal point of the whole venue without her realizing it. Her gaze merely scanned through the crowd for Sean Bell.

Sean was toasting drinks with a couple of guests and inadvertently saw Rose from a distance. He was immediately awestruck by her beauty.

"Excuse me, I've got to go," Sean said as he placed his wine glass down and straightened up his suit. Then, h e gracefully walked over to her.

"Rose, you look exquisite today.” Sean had spent a couple of years of his life abroad. Hence, he was bolder in expressing his emotions.

"You really do make me feel proud," he said while raising his arm.

Rose hesitated slightly but still took his hand anyway.

"Sean, I'm truly sorry. I couldn’t wear your dress because it's a tad too revealing. It doesn't quite suit m e."

Sean smiled and responded, “There's nothing to be sorry for. The dress you chose to wear suits you so well. Hmm, it truly gives me more... Honor."

"I don’t think so!" An indifferent voice came from behind.

Rose and Sean turned around simultaneously to see Jay standing behind them.

Jay's gaze fell on Sean's red outfit and he smirked. "I didn't know green and red is a good match nowadays?" 1

Thus, Rose only now noticed that Sean was wearing a white suit with a red shirt underneath.

Sean had a pair of bright eyes and a white set of teeth. Hence the gorgeous crimson he wore was devilishly charming.

However, the moment Jay stated the words 'green and red', Rose and Sean both automatically rhymed them with 'what a dread'. They immediately noticed the mismatched colors. 1

Then, Sean looked at the ever-dashing Jay in his black suit that was paired with a green diamond tie.

Sean somewhat understood the situation now. "You're the one who gave Rose this evening gown, am I right?"

Jay subsequently nodded.

Sean stretched his hand out and held Rose tightly into his arms. He looked somewhat provocatively at Jay and said, "Thanks a lot.”

Jay felt the instigation from Sean, and his gaze turned gloomier.

"No need. After all, the green doesn’t suit you," Jay replied, somewhat hinting at something deeper.

Sean looked at his red undershirt and squeezed out a bright smile toward Jay. "It’s fine. I can change it."

With that, he said to Rose before leaving, "Rose, will you give me a moment?"

Rose nodded in reply.

After Sean had left, Rose questioned Jay, "Did you do this on purpose?"

Jay pretended not to understand her inquiry. "What d o you mean?"

"You deliberately gave me a green dress to humiliate u s."

Jay answered coolly, "I don't have the time for that."

At this moment, Josephine showed up out of nowhere and yelled out loud, "Big Bro, Sis-in-law?"

Stunned by her words, Rose dived forward to cover her mouth with her hand. "Don't shout that in public.”

She peeked at Jay, afraid that he would be in a fit from Josephine's aggressive shipping.

Jay appeared unbothered, so Rose breathed a sigh of relief.
