You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 102

The Hayes Group in San Fetillo was regarded as a high- standing company. Their 10th Anniversary Appreciation Cocktail Party was definitely held in a grand manner. Edric, who would definitely be invited to the party, would not miss it.

The venue was Shangri-La Hotel, which belonged to the White family. As long as he greeted Nathan, things would fall into place. This time, Jordan wanted to let Edric know how powerful he was.

At the same time, Edric received the Hayes Group's invitation to attend the appreciation party. However, he was reluctant to attend it as Jordan would definitely be present at that party. When he thought about Jordan and Irene attending the party together, he felt upset. John was not aware that Edric was upset and asked him softly, "Mr. Myers, do you want me to inform Miss Cook?"

Edric did not want to show up with Lily at all, but it was not justifiable to not bring her along to such a big occasion. After all, they were engaged. He sighed heavily. "Okay, call her."

At seven o'clock in the evening, Jordan took Irene's hand as they entered the banquet hall. Irene wore an off-shoulder minidress. Her long hair was tied behind her head; her slender and fair legs attracted the attention of countless people.

Edric stared at Jordan as he appeared with Irene, his arm around her waist. As soon as Jordan came in, his eyes scanned the hall for Edric.

When he saw Edric and Lily, he smiled menacingly. He lowered his voice and whispered in Irene's ear, "I have prepared a generous gift for Edric tonight. I hope he will be happy about it." "What do you plan on doing?" Irene asked curiously.

"Don't you think that tonight is the perfect opportunity?" Jordan winked at Irene.

"Tonight?" Irene immediately understood what Jordan was hinting. She lowered her voice and said, "His fiancee is here; it might not be a good idea."

"Don't worry, I have made all the arrangements!" Jordan said as he walked toward Edric with Irene. The two of them greeted each other politely, as if they never had any issues between them.

Lily wore a long dress. She was tall and slim, and the dress fully outlined her sensuality. Jordan's sly eyes swept over Lily several times before he said with a faint smile, "Can we expect good news from Mr. Myers and Miss Cook soon?"

Jordan did it on purpose. Edric subconsciously looked at Irene. Irene's face was full of smiles, and any unhappiness was not apparent at all. His heart tightened a little, and he nodded his head.

"Don't forget to send an invitation card to us when the time comes," Jordan added before he saw Edric's gaze on Irene.

"We'll definitely invite you, Mr. Reed," Lily replied with a beam.

At that moment, some people who knew them stepped in. Jordan stopped their conversation and warmly chatted with the others. The third son of the Hayes family, Edward Hayes, also came with a female celebrity.

Edward had a good relationship with Jordan, and he managed to catch some of Jordan's conversations with Edric and Lily a while ago. He interrupted, saying, "Mr. Myers and Miss Cook will soon be celebrating a baby I suppose. Jordan, you should do the same. Hurry up and propose to Miss Nelson before she's taken by someone else."
