Chapter 6

Alena knew her assistant must be delighted to see her being charmed by Scott's heir.

“Whatever!” Alena rolled her eyes, turned around, and was about to leave.

“Alena, where are you going?” asked Darren.

“Do I need to tell you where I'm going, Mr. Darren?” Alena turned her head slightly, then looked away and continued walking.

Victoria followed Alena's footsteps. She didn't want to lose track of her boss, afraid that Alena would be harassed by her ex-husband's family.

“Mrs. Wilson, why are you avoiding Mr. Darren?” Victoria walked quickly to keep up with Alena.

“Then what should I do? Respond to his advances?”

“He is the man who was almost engaged to you.”

This time Alena stopped in her tracks, turning to face Victoria, who immediately stood up awkwardly and lowered her gaze.

“I know.”

“You left him for five years, but he still waited faithfully for you. That shows how much he loves you. You deserve to be happy, Mrs. Wilson. Perhaps getting closer to Mr. Darren will help you forget the pain caused by your ex-husband's family,” Victoria chirped, playing with her fingers in front of her body.

Alena exhaled slowly, then folded her arms across her chest. "I had never met Darren before the engagement was arranged. Do you think a man can love a woman he has never even met in person? For five years, Darren could have remained single not because he was waiting for me. I mean, a wealthy CEO like Darren could easily choose any woman to satisfy him," said Alena. 

It's possible that Scott's eldest son often had one-night stands with many women.

Victoria fell silent, unable to respond.

Meanwhile, Alena sighed softly and went to the restroom.

After leaving the restroom, Alena didn't see Victoria there. She thought Victoria might have returned to the party.

Intending to leave the women's restroom, Alena rolled her eyes and sighed lazily when Kylie entered the restroom door and gave her a cynical look.

“So now your goal is to seduce the Scott family heirs? Wow, you really are cheap, Alena!” Kylie clapped her hands, walked calmly, and stopped in front of Alena, who had her arms folded.

“Those words should suit you, Kylie. Why? Are you jealous because Darren Scott approached me and greeted me first? Are you jealous because he didn't even look at you even though you were putting on a flirtatious face?”

“Damn it!” Kylie was about to slap Alena, but her hand was immediately grabbed and pushed away roughly, causing Kylie to wince in pain.

“Stay away from the Scott family heirs! You are not worthy of being associated with them! And none of them are interested in you. Just because Darren said hello to you, don't get all cocky. Tsk! Darren probably thinks you're good enough to be a toilet cleaner at his office. You're trash, not worthy of the Scott family.” Kylie chuckled softly.

The corner of Alena's mouth twitched. “Which is more trashy, you forging an exclusive invitation that should have been in my name so you could come to Mr. James' party?”

Kylie was stunned. Alena's sarcasm made her eyes widen in surprise.

Somehow Alena knew that Kylie had actually forged Alena's exclusive invitation.

Yes! Initially, Mr. James had instructed his assistant, Gerald, to compile the guest list for the exclusive invitation. One of the invitations read ‘Jake Wilson's granddaughter,’ which was supposed to be addressed to Alena.

But Kylie managed to persuade Gerald to change it to ‘Kylie Wilson’ in exchange for offering Gerald a full night of service.

“I can't believe you. How dare you claim to be Jake Wilson's granddaughter. Even the Wilson family ring you're wearing on your finger is stolen. You stole it from my bag, didn't you?” Alena accused, stunning Kylie.

“Don't talk nonsense! I'm not used to stealing!”

“Yes, you're so unaccustomed to it that you wouldn't even steal your own friend's husband, right?” Alena laughed sarcastically.

Meanwhile, Kylie's face had turned bright red. Alena had managed to silence her and leave her speechless.

“Move! Don't block my way!” Alena nudged Kylie's shoulder, then walked away decisively from the restroom.

Her slender legs carried her back toward the party crowd.

However, Scott's two sons came over and stopped her in her tracks.

“Hello, beautiful lady. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Adrian Scott, the third son of the Scott family,” said Adrian, extending his hand toward Alena.

“My name is Gavin Scott, the second son of the Scott family. May I get to know you, Alena?” Gavin also extended his hand.

This made Alena look confused at the two strong hands waiting for her response.

“My name is Alena.” Finally, Alena answered without shaking their hands.

It disappointed Gavin and Adrian because they felt empty-handed. But then their lips curved into smiles.

“Alena, are you free tomorrow night? I'd like to take you to dinner at my restaurant. It's the biggest restaurant in New York. I'd be very happy if you accepted my invitation,” Adrian said softly.

“Don't go with him, Alena! Adrian is a notorious playboy. He has many women in his life. Whereas I am a loyal man who will protect his woman. Would you like to have dinner with me?” Gavin bent his right knee slightly and bowed his body, offering himself in the manner of a prince.

However, instead of Alena's response, he received a sharp retort from Adrian.

“What do you mean I have many women? It's you who's always been pursued by many women, Gavin!” His tone sounded annoyed.

Alena narrowed her eyes as she watched the two handsome men arguing.

Just then, Victoria, who had been looking for Alena, arrived and was surprised to see Gavin and Adrian arguing heatedly.

“Don't force Alena! Let her decide who she wants to have dinner with!” Adrian said firmly.

“But Alena won't want to have dinner with you. She'll definitely accept my invitation. Right, Alena?” Gavin smiled again as his gaze shifted to Alena.

Victoria held back a broad smile. It seemed she understood what was happening here. The two handsome heirs were fighting over dinner with Alena.

“Alena will have dinner with me,” said Adrian.

“With me!”

“Just with me, Alena!”

“No! Don't listen to him! Have dinner with me tomorrow, Alena!” Gavin grabbed Alena's right hand and gently rubbed the back of it.

“Alena won't have dinner with you guys!” exclaimed Darren, who came up behind his two brothers.

All eyes turned to Darren. Adrian and Gavin's gazes immediately showed their annoyance.

“But tomorrow she'll have dinner with me! Isn't that right, Alena Wilson?” Darren continued, raising one eyebrow.

His gaze locked with Alena's.
