The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

Chapter 9

Hailey’s voice was like melted sugar–to soft, so sweet, it could melt anyone’s heart

Owen knew she was just playing the cute act, and a smirk tugged at his lips. His expression softened with that affectionne almost indulgent look that made Selena bum with jealousy.

She was practically glaring at them, eyes wide, as if she might burst

Owen, clearly loving the attention, matched her tone and lowered his voice, smooth as hell. “Tell me where you are. Im coming to you. I’m at the party”

Hailey, clearly surprised, replied. “You’re here too? In the lobby! I’ll come down and find you”

He hummed a quiet response.

With a sweet and sugary smile. Hailey chirped, “Wait for me, before hanging up.

Once the call ended, Owen Calhoun took long, confident strides into the heart of the ballroom, making sure Hadley would see him. He wasn’t about to let her miss him.

Selena, not missing a beat, hurried to catch up with Owen

The second Owen entered, he stole the room’s attention.

He was every woman’s dream–a perfect mix of young, wealthy, and drop–dead gorgeous. And unlike the other playboys in the elite circles, he didn’t have a cloud of scandal hanging over him.

In the eyes

of everyone around him, if a guy like him fell for someone, he’d spoil her rotten. A love like that was something everyone envied.

But Owen wasn’t one to show up at just any old event. So, naturally, people were dying to know why the hell he was at the Dalton family’s gala.

The moment they saw Selena standing right behind him, a bit shy but undeniably anxious, the reason clicked

“Well, damn, looks like Miss Selena Dalion really worked her magic. She’s got Owen wrapped around her finger”

Selena was a top actress, and Owen: A high–society heir. They were a hell of a match. Plus, both came from the same top–tier families, so it made sense.

Just then, Jaden–Owen’s younger cousin–showed up at the party. As soon as he walked in, he spotted his older cousin with

Selena.

Jaden was only twenty, and he’d definitely had a thing for Selena back in the day.

This little piece of gossip had already spread like wildfire.
