Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 614
Advertisement
Evan glanced at Robert and did not speak, standing in front of the dressing mirror. He was expressionless and stared at the mirror in which Avery's beautiful face suddenly appeared.
"Evan."
Evan reached out to touch her, but he only touched the cold mirror.
Avery had said that there was no possibility for Evan or Mr. Lautner to marry her.
Evan pressed his hand on the mirror suddenly as if to take away her unrealistic idea.
An evil smile appeared in the corners of his mouth. Avery was his, which was irreversible.
In the banquet hall
There was a bright chandelier hanging in the center. Delicate dishes and snacks were on the buffet table.
The maids, dressed in long black dresses, carried drinks among the guests.
In front of the tables, Adan was giving a speech with the golden landing microphone. Logan walked down from the revolving staircase.
When Logan was standing in front of the guests, the whole scene was quiet.
Distinguished guests from all over the world attended the banquet tonight. They wore meticulously styled suits and dresses, which were particularly luxurious.
The president gave a simple welcome speech, and the guests applauded.
At the end of the speech, a woman came down from the revolving staircase, and immediately aroused all guests' attention.
Avery was dressed in a long blue dress whose hem was trailing on the ground.
The dress was a complicated one, and her waist was extremely slender.
With her arm on the stairs, Avery stepped down elegantly.
Her long hair was curled up to reveal her long neck, and her charming temperament gave birth to a touch of surprise.
Avery looked around the hall, which could accommodate thousands of people. Ladies and gentlemen from all countries gathered together.
Avery took her to look back and breathed a sigh of relief that Evan had not come. If he were there, she could find him at a glance even if there were thousands of people.

As Avery walked into the banquet hall, she felt a lot of curious and hostile looks.
She stopped, and the servant around her stopped too.
"You don't need to follow me."
"Princess, the president said there were many guests today, and let me follow you."
Avery kept silent. Logan was afraid of her messing around at the party, so he sent a servant to watch over her?
The servant was very clever, knowing that such talk was far-fetched, looked up and tried to change the subject, "Mr. Lautner has not arrived yet."
When the servant mentioned the name, Avery frowned and remembered the dream.
"Did the president command you to mention his name?"
"The president just asked me to take good care of you."
"You think I can't take care of myself?" Avery satirized disdainfully, but her attitude was no longer tough.
Logan and Olivia waved to Avery and introduced her to the important guests at the party.
After greeting the guests politely, Avery went through the hall to find a corner to have a rest.
Wherever she went, women at the party were in their own small groups.
Near the sofa, Avery saw James and Erin, who were talking with three or five princesses from other countries.
"Princess, the president told you to play the piano later." The servant followed her, pointing to the white piano on the left side of the hall.
"All right. I get it." Avery pressed down her temper and went to the rest area to sit down, "I'm sitting here, and I'm not going anywhere."
Then she looked up and found Mr. Lautner walking in.
He was tall, wearing a blue suit, and was followed by three or five servants.
With the man's entry, his appearance got clearer. His delicate and handsome features reflected his noble spirit.

Avery could feel that all the ladies in the hall looked at the man with fascination in their eyes.
"Look, he is the prince of Country H. I didn't expect him to be so handsome.���
"He is so handsome that I want to marry him at a glance."
"I want to dance with him."
As soon as Mr. Lautner entered the hall, he was surrounded by politicians and high-class men.
He only glanced at Avery, talking about politics and business with ease among the crowd.
He was like an abyss, attracting women to fall endlessly.
"I'm sorry. That's where our princess just sat." An arrogant servant stood beside a princess from another country.
Avery came to her senses, only to find that there was no seat left. There were some princesses sitting on the sofa.
Avery hasn't spoken, but she saw Erin dragging the long black dress and swaying over, "This seat is not engraved with your princess's name. Why should our princess give you the seat?"
Avery's sharp eyes swept over to Erin, only to see her holding a goblet.
Erin was ostensibly helping her, but her real aim was to tarnish her reputation.
"We are guests. As a princess of Country B, shouldn't she give up her seat?"
"Our princess may give you a seat, but she is not obliged to give up her seat. Please watch your attitude."
"No wonder I've heard that your princess is very promiscuous and has a very strange temper. What a bastard she is."
"You!" Erin was angry, and her cheeks flushed, but no one noticed that an evil intention flashed in her eyes.
Avery put her cup on the coffee table, and black tea in it splashed out, "If you want to quarrel, please move to another place."
Avery had a completely indifferent attitude as if they weren't arguing for her.
The arrogant princess of a neighboring country was stunned and stared at Avery in disbelief. Although Avery said so calmly, her powerful aura was too impressive.
Erin smiled slightly and said, "Our princess will soon be on stage to play the piano. I don't want to bother you."
Avery put her hands on the armrest of the sofa and looked at Erin with a smile.
