Chapter 953: A Big Gift With Ill Intentions

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Looking at the eagle symbol, Su Wan knew what kind of place this was!

It was actually a banquet hosted by the Devi family!

At the auction, Jiang Xuecheng was furious for her, and almost beat that peerless idiot young master of the Devi family, Keller, to death.

From then on, she and the Devi family could be considered to have a huge grudge.

Now, Fiennes actually brought her here without saying a word!

Wasn’t this causing trouble for her?!

Su Wan black eyes widened slightly. Her hand gripped the glass window, and she felt an inexplicable sense of worry.

What kind of heart did Fiennes have?!

...

Fiennes looked at Su Wan indifferently, not missing the hint of fear in her eyes.

“Looks like you know what this place is.”

Su Wan smiled bitterly and nodded speechlessly.

“Young Master Fiennes, I am at odds with Keller... No, to be precise, I am at odds with the entire Devi family. You brought me here, I’m a little...”

Su Wan did not continue, believing that Fiennes would understand what she meant.

That day was supposed to be the engagement party between Diya and Jiang Xuecheng, but Madam Ye of the Devi family was the first to find trouble with Su Wan. It could be seen that Su Wan was really despised by others here.

“With me here, what are you afraid of?”

Fiennes stretched out his hand to pick up the cup of tea in front of him. He took a sip slowly, but his gaze kept falling on Su Wan from the corner of his eyes.

Su Wan changed into a lavender evening dress and wore a pair of jewelry earrings of the same color. She looked luxurious and elegant.

Sometimes Fiennes also found it unbelievable. No matter what, Su Wan seemed to have an indescribable calm temperament.

Even now, she was clearly afraid, but on the surface, she remained calm.

Fiennes did not know that it had always been Su Wan’s rule to not fall behind. Therefore, she would not go there with a dejected face and let others see that she was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Hearing Fiennes’ guarantee, Su Wan continued to smile bitterly. She did not feel at ease at all.

Fiennes was definitely an ally of the Devi family. He definitely wouldn’t lose face with the Devi family because of her, and he definitely wouldn’t break off relations with the Devi family.

And if Fiennes really wanted her well-being, he wouldn’t have brought Su Wan here!

...

Amidst the curling tea steam, Fiennes’ azure blue eyes flickered. He suddenly stood up and bent down to get out of the car.

“Let’s get out of the car.”

Since Fiennes had already said so, it wasn’t good for Su Wan to play dead.

Even though she really didn’t want to go at all!

First, she and Jiang Xuecheng had a feud with Keller, who had his ribs broken. Then, she had turned the tables on Madam Ye at the banquet. Su Wan felt that going to this banquet was no different from going to the Hongmen banquet!

Seeing that Fiennes had already gotten out of the car, Su Wan gritted her teeth and finally forced herself to get out.

Su Wan believed that Fiennes was the next family head of the Siswell family. Moreover, the entire God’s Palace was now under his control. The people of the Devi family...

Even if they hated her, they wouldn’t act on the spot, right?

...

Only when Su Wan arrived did she realize that this wasn’t a formal banquet. It was more like... a party for the nobles.

Most of the guests were young people.

Both men and women were dressed luxuriously. From the various hairpins worn by the socialites and the diamond-studded watches on the men’s hands, Su Wan could feel a strong sense of luxury.

What was rare was that they were not rustic.

This was probably because these people had been trained in aristocratic etiquette since they were young. This kind of bearing was not something that could be cultivated in a short period of time.

It was said that all people were born equal. However, Su Wan deeply understood that sometimes, fate was unfair.

Because some people got headstarts, If you wanted to surpass them, you had to put in several times more effort than the other party.

No, even more often, it was difficult to surpass a class.

...

The waiters in blue uniforms, with champagne in their hands, walked past the elegant aristocratic men and women.

The noblemen and women smiled elegantly and talked languidly to those around them.

But even on such an occasion, Fiennes and Su Wan was still so eye-catching.

When Fiennes and Su Wan appeared, almost everyone present couldn’t help but look at them.

Fiennes’ status was getting more and more noble. It was not good for everyone to keep staring at Fiennes, so their eyes gradually shifted to Su Wan.

There were malicious gazes, speculations, curiosity, and many other kinds of gazes.

And most of them were probably envious.

Envious of Su Wan’s good luck.

Even for these socialites present, wanting to marry the heir of the Siswell family was more difficult than ascending to the heavens.

Back then, before Fiennes had announced his engagement to Su Wan, many wealthy families had gone to great lengths to recommend their daughters to Fiennes. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen halfway through!

Su Wan did not like that kind of fixed gaze, but she could vaguely understand why those people looked at her like that.

Those people thought that she was a phoenix on a branch. However, to Su Wan, this so-called young madam of the Siswell family, she did not care at all!

With Fiennes present, although many men and women came to talk to Fiennes, everyone seemed to deliberately ignore Su Wan.

A strange tacit understanding.

Nobles were also xenophobic.

In their opinion, a commoner like Su Wan, no matter how outstanding she was, was not worthy of the heir of the Siswell family.

At this time, everyone selectively ignored the identity of Fiennes as an illegitimate child.

Su Wan did not mind this kind of snub. She stood indifferently at the side, trying her best to reduce her presence. She just looked at herself as a moving vase.

The only thing that made Su Wan depressed was that she could not follow her heart and take so much delicious food.

After all, she still had to maintain her image. It was too tiring. How could she expose her true nature as a foodie?

It would be best if no one provoked her.

Su Wan was also afraid of causing more trouble.

...

However, this was after all the territory of the Devi family. This kind of relative peace did not last long.

At the start of the party, Keller, who was dressed in a wine-red suit, walked over.

Keller’s eyes were empty, and his hands landed on the waist of a beautiful woman.

She was a slim beauty, probably in her twenties at most. Her appearance was very beautiful, but... there was a hint of dust between her brows.

Su Wan was almost certain that the woman was not a lady from a noble family. She was more like... er... Su Wan could not describe it.

In short, it felt strange.

At this moment, Keller walked towards Su Wan and Fiennes.

Su Wan had a headache. She knew that coming here was not a good thing!

Keller stared at Su Wan with a pair of drunken eyes. His eyes were still full of resentment. However, when he turned around and saw Fiennes, he immediately became more respectful.

“Young Master Fiennes, congratulations on your engagement to Miss Su. I’ve decided to give you two a big gift!”

What big gift?!

Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat. She always felt that the other party came with ill intentions.
