Elaina was warning Saul. They seemed to be on good terms, but if Saul went against her bottom line, she would not show any mercy.
Saul smiled and nodded. He whispered, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
He just displeased Jalen deliberately and would not cause trouble.
Elaina was not used to Saul’s approach and glared at him. Then, She turned around and walked to a corner with fewer people to sit down.
“Elaina.” Joyce walked to Elaina and got her a glass of champagne.
Elaina nodded and thanked Joyce. “Where are your parents? Aren’t they with you?”
“Look, they are discussing a certain cooperation over there.” Joyce pouted her lips with dissatisfaction.
However, Elaina was able to take it easy. She smiled, “For the Halton family, this is Mr. Halton’s birthday banquet, but for the other guests, this is an opportunity to socialize. Your parents are hard- working, and they don’t intend to let go of any opportunity.”
“I know.” Joyce also understood. She just couldn’t bear to watch it with her own eyes.
In her heart, her parents were powerful, and she had always been proud of them. However, when she saw them being humble in front of others, she felt a little upset.
As if knowing what Joyce was thinking, Elaina patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t be sad. They are humble here, yet they can hold their heads high outside.”
“Elaina, you have enlightened me.” After being comforted by Elaina, Joyce felt much better.
As they chatted, they were surprised to see more and more guests arrive at the banquet hall.
It seemed that the Halton family valued this banquet a lot and had invited quite a few people.
“Elaina, look, that woman from the Lory family approaches Jalen again.” Joyce looked at the woman not far away with great interest and signaled Elaina to look over.
Alisha was wearing a red long dress, which perfectly displayed her curves. Jalen was in a black suit. They stood side by side and were quite a match.
Elaina felt that the scene was pleasing to the eye, but Joyce did not think so. She whispered into Elaina’s ear, “Elaina, do you know that Jalen is married?”
Elaina was stunned and looked at Joyce in surprise.
“You don’t know, do you?” Joyce thought that Elaina was surprised because she did not know it. However,
Elaina was just worried about whether her marriage with Jalen was exposed.
“I heard that two years ago, Jalen was arranged to get married by Mr. Nitzan. At that time, Alisha was furious. It was said that if Mr. Nitzan had not interfered, she would have been married to Jalen.
“Because Mr. Jalen suddenly got married, she went abroad in a fit of anger and didn’t come back until a while ago.”
Elaina listened thoughtfully.
Joyce continued, “In my opinion, Jalen did not like Alisha at all. It was just Alisha’s one-sided affection.”
“Oh? Didn’t you say that she almost married Jalen back then?” Elaina asked with a smile as she sipped the champagne.
“I heard of it. No one knows what exactly happened.”
Joyce curled her lips and continued, “I think Jalen has no feelings for her at all. The way he looks at Alisha is not as affectionate as the way he looks at you, Elaina.”
Elaina was speechless.
Joyce said, “I am just giving an example to prove that Jalen does not like Alisha. As for the rumor that they almost got married, I think it is only a marriage alliance.”
