My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 298 Put On an Act

When the crew finished their work, Jennifer Jones approached Gloria Taylor and said mysteriously, “Come with me to a dinner party tonight.”

“What dinner party?” Gloria Taylor asked while looking at her phone.

Jennifer Jones explained, “It’s a formal one. We just need to eat and that’s all.”

“Okay.” Gloria Taylor agreed.

Because of Jennifer Jones’ family background, people in her circle respected her. She was not an impetuous person. When she said that it was a formal dinner, it should be it.

It was not until they were inside the car that Gloria Taylor remembered to asked, “Where are we going?”

“Jin Ding.” Jennifer Jones replied while driving.

Jin Ding?

She used to go there for dinner.

She hadn’t been there since she came back. When she heard other mentioned ‘Jin Ding’, she froze for a while before she reacted.

When they stopped at the traffic light, Jennifer Jones looked at Gloria Taylor and asked, “Are you sure you don’t want to change your clothes and do your hair?”

“No, I’m fine.” Gloria Taylor was looking out of the window. She answered absent-mindedly.

Because she was outdoor a lot, she loved wearing long pants. She hadn’t worn a skirt for a long time.

Skirt was impractical.

Jennifer Jones pondered for a while and asked, “Okay. So, after Kenny Clarke dumped you, you lost hope and your interest to find another man?”

Gloria Taylor didn’t expect that she would suddenly mention this topic. She replied faintly, “Let’s talk about this later.”

They were chatting along the way and finally, they arrived in Jin Ding.

Gloria Taylor got off the car and looked around involuntarily.

Kenny Clarke often came to Jin Ding for dinner. She didn’t know if she would meet him here.

“What are you looking at? Let’s go.” Jennifer Jones’ voice woke her from her thoughts.

“Hm.” Gloria Taylor followed.

Both of them arrived at the private dining room. The other guests were already in place.

There were men, women, and young girls inside. Some of them often appeared on big screen recently.

Jennifer Jones leaned closer to Gloria Taylor’s ear and whispered, “That one wearing a white shirt and that one wearing a pink dress, their academic degree are fake.”

Gloria Taylor didn’t expect that Jennifer Jones actually knew such gossips.

Gloria Taylor said jokingly, “If I can’t write script for a living in the future, I will open an account on Microblog to expose these scandals and become an influencer to support myself.”

“You don’t have a back up to expose their scandals. Trust me. They will kill you.” said Jennifer Jones.

“You’re my back up.” said Gloria Taylor.

“What am I? Kenny Clarke? He could be your strongest back up. If you hadn’t divorce him, the entertainment industry was already in your palm. You could shoot your own script if you wanted to—”

Halfway through her words, Jennifer Jones realized that she shouldn’t have said that.

She turned to look at Gloria Taylor. She didn’t seem to be angry. Jennifer Jones quickly changed the topic, “I heard that there are still a few other stars coming tonight, but I don’t know who they are.”

Gloria Taylor knew who Jennifer Jones was talking about.

“Miss Taylor.”

When Gloria Taylor saw Si Chengyu smilingly coming toward her, she felt that she should have checked the bad luck check today before going out.

“Mr. Si.” Gloria Taylor smiled.

In front of strangers, they had to put on an act.

This time, another person came in.

“Chengyu, you walk so fast. You don’t wait for me.” Anne Taylor grunted while reaching for his arms.

Si Chengyu was standing in front of Gloria Taylor. Anne Taylor saw her too.

When she saw Gloria Taylor, her face sank, “Gloria?”

Before Gloria Taylor could reply, Si Chengyu gave her a look, “Anne.”

The cold face she put on when she looked at Gloria Taylor cleared away in a second. Now, she was acting warmly in his arm.

When Si Chengyu and Anne Taylor finally were seated, Jennifer Jones asked her, “Do you know the movie king Si Chengyu?”

Although his relationship with Kenny Clarke was broken, but his relationship with the Clarke family hadn’t been exposed. Sheng Ding Media’s big boss’ identity was not exposed either.

Gloria Taylor lowered her eyes and said, “Haven’t you heard the gossip between me and Si Chengyu before?”

Jennifer Jones knew what she was referring to.

“Chengyu, I want to eat that.”

“Chengyu, don’t drink too much wine.”

After the meal, Gloria Taylor could hear an earful of Anne Taylor’s coquetry.

Si Chengyu always looked so gentle. People would believe that they were in a relationship. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Jennifer Jones on the other side was disgusted by Anne Taylor.

Before the dinner was over, Jennifer Jones stood up and said, “We still have something to do. We will take our leave.”

“Oh, Miss Jones is leaving. Why don’t you stay for a while to talk?” someone said as a polite gesture.

Gloria Taylor came with Jennifer Jones. She would leave the talking to Jennifer Jones. She just came to eat and drink.

That’s what she thought, but not others.

Anne Taylor looked up at Gloria Taylor and said, “Gloria, are you leaving? You don’t like me that much, do you? Although the Clarke doesn’t want you anymore, you’re still my sister.”

Everyone knew about Gloria Taylor’s identity, but because of Jennifer Jones, no one dared teasing her.

Anne Taylor wouldn’t miss a chance to step on her.

Regardless of her relationship with Kenny Clarke, together or divorce, she was immune to Anne Taylor’s words.

Anne Taylor had always been such person. She liked to feast on other’s pain.

“Since you think that I’m your sister, should I feel honored?” Gloria Taylor smiled. Her cat eyes were bright and dazzling.

Gloria Taylor’s appearance was still outstanding among the stars.

She hardly say a word since she came in. she tried her best to lay low.

Tonight’s dinner was mainly a game between the investors and the stars.

At the home of others, it was only natural to lay low, so as not to steal the spotlight.

Gloria Taylor raised her eyebrows and looked straight at her eyes, “Have you forgotten that six months ago Mr. Loren Taylor had already announced that he lifted up his father-daughter relationship with me?”
