Chapter 638 Defiance

However, Federick didn't bother with Enrique.

Federick took Yelena's hand and led her outside before he glanced up and down at her.

"Although he's quite unconventional, his makeup skills are good."

"Hmph! It's because I am a natural beauty."

"Yes, yes." Federick flashed a gentle smile. "Do you believe me now? Let's go. We are heading over now."

Yelena nodded in reply. She thought it was just a banquet, but when they arrived, she suddenly felt nervous.

She felt out of place as she watched the stylish and sophisticated people passing by.

Noticing this, Federick nudged her arm.

"What's wrong? Weren't you looking forward to this? Why are you so nervous now?"

Yelena's face turned slightly pink. "I didn't expect to see so many people."

"There are indeed a lot of people at this banquet." Federick smiled and took a glass of champagne handed to him by a waiter while casually getting one for Yelena too.

"What is our purpose for coming here today?" Yelena asked this question without much thought. Upon realizing the silliness of her words, she quickly took a sip of champagne to calm herself down.

"For fun. Nothing much."

"Fun?" Yelena looked at him with confusion and asked the question that she had been thinking about for the longest time. "Who are you exactly? How do you manage to come to a place like this?"

Federick only smirked and winked. "Take a guess."

"Guess, my foot. Why can't you just tell me?"

Having to solve riddles gave her a headache.

"Have you forgotten my last name?"

Yelena looked at his faint smile and suddenly realized that she had been narrow-minded for associating him with the academic genius with a normal background and the village officer from the impoverished countryside.
