Those people ever looked friendly with her father, but looked down on them when the Gu's family failed, and even would like to get a share from it. She looked at the hypocritical faces in the mall, and she felt cold.
At this time, when she actually appeared at Bruce's side, most people's eyes were unable to hide their surprise.
Among the crowd, she was surprise to see Joyce, but thought about it, Joyce certainly would never let go of such occasions of access to power and dignity.
Catherine smiled and was socializing behind Bruce. Others thought she was his partner, so they didn't take her too seriously. When talking about business, Catherine knew and went out for a fresh breath.
She went to the rest place not far away, held a glass of champagne and stood in the corner to see all the people. Today, many Li family members came to the banquet, they seemed to be looking at her and talking about her. Catherine felt that those eyes made her rather uncomfortable. She looked at Bruce continually, hoping to get some comfort from him.
"Miss Gu?" Abby came slowly to her side and toasted her gently with a glass in her hand. "Did you come with my brother?"
Catherine stepped back vigilantly, smiled politely at her, but did not answer. Somehow she felt that Bruce's sister was not well-intentioned.
Abby seemed to see her restraint and smiled unconcerned.
"Never mind, if you get married with my brother, I should also call you sister-in-law."
Abby looked quiet, and her look was not very delicate. Compared with her brother, they were not like siblings. Catherine did not see her bad intention, so she slowly put down her guard, and they had a chat.
But Catherine felt that maybe she was thinking too much, but there was a little hostility in the words of the other party. She frowned slightly and looked in the direction of Bruce. The conversation with the other party was finish, he was seemingly looking for her in the crowd. Catherine smiled at him when their eyes met soon.
Abby took a close look at the two people. She looked complicated in her eyes. Suddenly she grabbed Catherine's hand and whispered in her ear.
"Don't you think that you are now married to my brother and had a better life? Let me tell you, you are far worse than Bella." Then, she turned away with a cold hum.
Catherine looked at her back inexplicably, and did not understand why she had the sudden hostility to her, because she was married to her brother?
"What did she say?" Bruce came to her and looked not well, as if he did not like the conversation between them.
Catherine thought he was afraid of her bullying his sister. She blinked innocently and tested carefully.
"Nothing, your sister doesn't seem to like me very much. She said the sister Bella..." Catherine looked at Bruce with hesitation, but she was disappointed when she did not notice any change from his emotion.
But he held her in his arms inexplicably and very naturally. It was like comforting her and he gentle touched of her head. The outsiders thought they were a best match. Catherine suddenly stunned, did not know how to react, fortunately, Bruce loosened his arms, as if nothing happened.
However, Catherine immediately relieved, thinking that Bruce might also take the opportunity to prove their relationship to these outsiders.
The party seemed too bland on the surface, but in fact it was invisibly complicated. Catherine had been following Bruce and watching him dealing with the experienced businessmen in the hall. She also caught sight of Joyce, wearing a red dress, laughing near a middle-aged man with a big belly, and her sexy body intentionally leaned closer to the man.
Catherine was so happy and did not know how her ex-fiancé, Wilson, would feel when he saw this.
At the end of the banquet, Bruce, as the host of Entertainment Dream, came to the stage to deliver a speech. His eyes frequently fell on Catherine intentionally or unintentionally, who seemed to be full of love. He made Catherine the focus of the public, but she was restless.
At the end of Bruce's speech, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.
"Wait a minute." When people looked at Abby, who spoke out from the crowd, they saw her red eyes, as if she had been suddenly noticed by so many people. She bit her lip unnaturally, but reluctantly still moved forward.
"Sorry brother." Abby looked up and said sorry to Bruce, then turned to the crowd. "I'm sorry, everyone, but I really don't know what to do, so please help me."
"Isn't she Miss Li of the prestigious family? What's wrong? You cried?" A lot of people in the room were buttering up in a hurry.
"My necklace is gone, can you please find for it? It is my mother... the gift left to me before I was born, but just now, it is gone..." And she couldn't help but felt so sad.
"That's a poor girl. Let us help you find where it is." Some people in the crowd responded.
"No." Abby wiped her tears. "I just asked the security guard to help me. I was afraid that someone would pick it up or take it away. So I had to ask your help here. I only hope the person who took my necklace could give it back to me. If you want money, I'll give it to you."
Hearing this, people in the hall began to whisper to each other. The people into the banquet hall were either rich or powerful, and it was too far-fetched to say that if someone had stolen it.
Abby felt anxious when she looked at the people who were obviously not convinced. Suddenly, there was a charming female voice sounded.
"If someone has the intention to take it away, isn't it the most suspicious person who has just come into contact with Miss Li? I..." The woman smiled inexplicably. "I just saw that Miss Gu seemed to have a good conversation with Miss Li."
Catherine looked at the person who spoke, and she had anticipated that it was Joyce who was making the matter more complex. She looked at her coldly, but Joyce smiled back at her with ridicule.
Catherine's face was plain, but Joyce's frame made many of the people looking at her. At the same time, there was an ominous feeling in her heart. Abby just said she lost her necklace, as if she was extremely sure that her necklace was taken away by someone.
