Chapter 24 When Bradley received the photo , he was driving . He took just a glimpse while waiting for the traffic light due to the off - key message he received , which led him to pick up his phone . And then , he couldn't take his eyes off the screen . Gigi old sign , brimming with a sense of a bygone era , was encircled by neon lights . A woman in a gown stepped into the play of light and shadow with her high heels , exuding an allure that was hard to resist . Draped over her shoulders is a black suit , her slender , fair arm linked with the man beside her . It was strikingly reminiscent of a movie poster . Even though the picture was taken from a distance , and only half of the delicate face could be vaguely recognized , Bradley could instantly realize who it was . Not to mention , the man she was with was Radiant Entertainment's president , Rocco , whom he had fought with recently . Rocco had taken Giselle to such a place ! Staring at the photo , Bradley took no notice when the light turned green . The honking from the cars behind him seemed to rush him , and someone had already lost their patience and got out of their vehicle , knocking on his car window . Oblivious to the surrounding noise , Bradley directly made a voice call to Xavier , his face turning ashen as he spun the steering wheel and bolted off in a different direction . " Is she at Mansion No. 9 ? " The gritted and seething voice was heard as soon as the call connected . At this time , Xavier also joined in and his eyes were chasing after the silhouette outlined in the room , as if he didn't notice the crowd swaying with the lights and the music around . He ordered a drink and said snidely , " What's wrong with you ? Can't you even recognize the old place ? " It was not like he'd never been to Mansion No. 9 with its huge signboard . Bradley naturally recognized the situation , but he still held onto a glimmer of hope , hoping that Rocco hadn't involved her . At this moment , hearing the deafening noise from the other side , his pace quickened . " Keep an eye on her . " " Don't worry . You don't need to tell me . I know , " Xavier responded while swirling his wine glass as if he had suddenly remembered something . " Tell me , Brad , why are you suddenly so concerned about her ? Didn't you always find her annoying ? Now that you're divorced , you're asking me to help you track her business abroad , and to keep an eye on her . Are you insane ? " Bradley didn't feel like arguing and his cold voice focused on the main point , " We're not divorced yet . Technically speaking , she is still my wife . " Xavier solemnly added , " Brad , you can't have your cake and eat it . Anyway , you're going to marry Sarah , so why not get the divorce over with so I can also have a chance to pursue her … " Before Xavier could finish , the call was ended . Xavier clicked his tongue lightly and looked up again . The charming figure near the bar had already disappeared . Inside the dance floor , the dazzling play of multicolored lights left one's eyes spinning , while the throbbing beat from the booming sound system irresistibly invited one to sway along . Giselle followed Rocco through the crowd and stopped at a booth . " He should not be able to find me anymore . He is still on his phone . " She ordered herself a drink and glanced in Xavier's direction . Being stalked abroad multiple times , Giselle was especially alert to prying eyes . She had noticed someone was watching her as she entered the bar . Rocco took away her drink with a stern face and placed it back on the bartender's tray . " Get her a glass of juice instead . " The bartender paused for a moment , then turned around with the tray at his acknowledgment . Those around who heard the request turned their heads to look . Giselle , feeling embarrassed by the stares , couldn't help but want to kick Rocco . She gave his calf a soft kick , " Rocco , did you bring me to the bar to have juice ? " Rocco gazed at her , " Do you want to drink alcohol instead ? " Giselle shrank her neck and looked towards the dance floor , " I want to go dancing . " Rocco didn't stop her , he chuckled and picked up a glass of wine to sit down . 1/3 < Chapter 24 +30 Vouchers The bar was filled with the pulsating beat of club music . No matter how much Winnie ran wild , she would never get up and shake her head crazily there in a gown . Yet , one always needed to be on their guard . Giselle indeed was someone who dressed for the occasion . If she had worn something different that day , she might have blended into the crowd by now . However , her outfit didn't match the current vibe , so she decided to simply watch . At that moment , the deafening music on the dance floor suddenly stopped . People were taken aback for a moment , and then a familiar classic tune- Careless Whisper - started to play in this area . The soft tones of the saxophone , romantic and elegant without bothering those who were shaking their bodies , seemed to add a bit more charm to the scene . Xavier appeared out of nowhere , stopping right in front of Giselle and extending his hand to her in quite the gentlemanly fashion . Long time no see , Miss Mendoza . May I have the pleasure of inviting you for a dance ? " Giselle remained still , allowing Xavier to maintain his bent posture . It's indeed been a long time , I remember that you had always been abroad , when did you come back ? " She recalled Xavier , the childhood friend of Bradley . Before Sarah's return , she often participated in the gatherings of the circle's young masters and ladies , and she was acquainted with Xavier during that fime . However , her subsequent exclusion from this social life , just as she was in her teens and at the time of establishing her social circle and outlook on life , naturally made her unfamiliar with them . I've only been back for a couple of days , I just came out for fun and happened to run into you . " Xavier wasn't angered by this coldness , still wearing that carefree smile on his face , fully displaying his wealthy and idle disposition . " It's been so many years , let's reacquaint , Winnie . You won't refuse me , will you ? " As soon as these words ended , before Giselle could react , Rocco had already opened his eyes and shot a cold glance . He even called her pet name , Winnie ! Xavier followed the sharp gaze in that direction . But before he could make eye contact with Rocco , his vision was blocked by the rising Giselle . " I'm really impressed that you still remember my pet name more than a decade ago , I guess I cannot refuse your invitation to dance . " She raised her hand , touching Xavier's broad palm . Her suit jacket slipped off her shoulder , Giselle held it with her free hand and tossed it to Rocco . With a coy smirk , she gave a misleading address , " Rocco , I'm going to catch up with an old friend . I'll be back in a bit . " Without caring about the sullen expression on Rocco's face , she followed Xavier towards the dance floor . The handsome man and the ravishing woman immediately elicited a burst of noise from the crowd . Xavier had gone abroad after graduating from high school and had only returned to his homeland a few times . Over the years , all the girlfriends he had slept with were outgoing and enthusatic . None of them could compare to the reserved , classic beauty before him . His large palm on her delicate waist didn't dare to apply any force , even his dance steps slowed down . " Mr. Smith , you seem a bit rusty . " Suddenly , Giselle raised her eyes . Xavier felt a sudden warmth in his palm , looked down at her black hair , and coughed slightly , " Indeed , I haven't danced in a long time . " Giselle smiled , " That's okay , me too . Back abroad , I was either in class or working part - time . I didn't have time to practice dancing . Moreover , it wasn't necessary . " She didn't know if Xavier had checked her background . Her overseas records were made by William , and no one else could access them , except maybe Xavier . He had come back , possibly following Bradley … Her cold gaze passed his shoulder , and from a distance , she saw a familiar figure coming their way . Suddenly , she missed a beat . Her high heels twisted unexpectedly , and her petite body was about to fall straight into Xavier's arms ! And his burning palm , uncontrollably , was sliding down towards her waist … From below the stage , Bradley's pupils uncontrollably contracted !
