Female Novel
Chapter 109
"Let's go, Arianna," Aaron glanced sideways at Andrea. A trace of disgust flashed across his eyes
before he dragged me into the hall.
It wasn't that Aaron was not interested in women; he was just disgusted with women. He had disliked
women ever since he was eight years old. If I hadn't grown up with him, I would be another disgusting
woman for him.
Being his exception was my hell. It was a hell that I could never escape.
Andrea's faint voice came from behind, "Hendrix, so Arianna knew Mr. Reid of the Andar Group. No
wonder Madam Lawson told me that the people who came tonight were all famous people from the
business and political industry."
Apparently, Aaron was currently working in the Andar Group.
Instead of a birthday party, it was more like a gathering between the elites. Valerie was wearing a black
dress with a side split and a pair of dark blue crystal high heels, which made her look extraordinarily
elegant and beautiful.
She was almost fifty years old, but she didn't look her age. In fact, she was much prettier than most
women of her age.
When she saw Aaron from afar, she excused herself from the other guests and walked towards us with
a glass of champagne in her hand.
"Mr. Reid, thank you very much for coming!" She beamed while slightly raising the champagne. Then,
she looked at me, a little surprised. She turned back at Aaron and asked, "Who is she?"
Before Aaron could say anything, I took the lead and said, "Madam Lawson, you look so beautiful
today!"
She was startled by my answer but managed to suppress her surprise quickly. She smiled, "So are
you, Miss Reid. You're so beautiful today that I couldn't even recognize you. I'm really sorry!"
I chuckled and responded, "You are flattering me, Madam Lawson. I don't usually dress up. It's normal
if you don't recognize me. It's not your fault!"
Then, she noticed that Aaron was holding my hand. She looked confused and asked about it very
gently, "Did you two know each other?" She also eyed Aaron suspiciously.
Aaron grinned, "Of course, we've known each other for more than ten years."
Valerie wanted to ask more, but the chatters in the hall suddenly quieted down. People turned their
heads towards the hall's entrance.
I, too, turned and saw a handsome middle- aged man in a coat striding in. Four men in black suits
followed behind him.
The appearance of the man gained a lot of attention. People went forward to greet him. However, the
man's eyes went directly to Valerie, and he walked towards her.
"Pedro Moore, also known as Master Moore from Jarold City. He has so much authority and power
over people no matter where he is. Even those in
power are also afraid of him," Aaron explained.
I looked at Valerie and Pedro and noticed that their dynamic was unlike any pair of ordinary friends. I
couldn't help but have some theories on their relationship.
"What is their relationship?" I asked.
Aaron raised his eyebrows. There was something profound about his gaze that I couldn't understand.
He said, "Star-crossed lovers."
I didn't quite understand what he meant. So, I rephrased and asked again, "Madam Lawson wasnovelbin
married, am I right? She was married to an ordinary person, then later she married Sawyer's father and
gave birth to Sawyer. How did...?"
When did this Pedro Moore enter the story? Their relationships were seriously messed up.
Aaron sneered, "The story she made up for the outside world is a convincing one, isn't it?"
Hendrix was now greeting Valerie and Pedro with Andrea by his side. Valerie then leaned towards
Pedro to say something. I wondered what she said.
Later, Pedro became more affectionate with Andrea. He looked at her as if she was something he
finally found after losing it for many years.
I couldn't exactly see what was going on, but I knew Aaron was looking at me slyly. "Andrea is Valerie's
daughter who has been lost for 20 years. She is also Pedro's daughter."
I opened my mouth wide in shock. Andrea was their daughter?
But we had never got wind of it!
