Cherished By Seven Sisters

Chapter 1010 Woody 

Emrys shook hands with Montague with just the right pressure. 

Montague gave Emrys a deep look before ushering everyone into the mansion. 

After arranging things for Emrys and Yelena, Montague took Chloe aside and said, “Chloe, I said I would send someone to pick up your friend. Did you really have to go in person? Did you encounter any trouble on the way?” 

“We ran into Igor.” 

Montague’s expression changed, then he asked with confusion, “Did he not give you a hard time?” 

“Igor and his men stopped my car, wanting to take me to see their president, but fortunately, Mr. Lund was there, so they didn’t succeed.” 

Chloe recounted the events that had transpired earlier. 

Montague glanced at Emrys in the hall and then withdrew his gaze. He said, “If what you say is true, and Emrys can kick a car flying with one foot, then he is undoubtedly a martial artist. If only he could lend a hand…” 

“Father, they’re my friends. I invited them over just for my birthday party. I don’t want you to involve them in the gang,” Chloe interrupted in a firm voice 

Montague smiled and said, “I understand. I won’t make things difficult for Emrys, and I’ll consult him when the time comes.” 

Chloe frowned slightly and said, “It’s best not to mention it at all. I don’t want any impurities in my friendship with Yelena.” 

She invited Yelena over just for her birthday party, not to discuss anything else. 

Emrys was Yelena’s boyfriend. If he were to be dragged into the gang affairs, it would undoubtedly upset Yelena. Chloe did not want to witness such a scenario. 

“I know, I know. I’ll handle it appropriately.” 

Montague comforted her, but inwardly sighed. Since Emrys got into that car, it might not be so easy to extricate him from/them. 

As Chloe was the prominent young lady of Montague Association, her birthday party was naturally an extravagant affair. It was a grand spectacle, essentially a lavish cocktail party.

Chapter 1010 Woody 

Such occasions were easy for Yelena; after all, she used to be known as the “Rose Queen” in the nightlife scene. 

However, she had no inclination to socialize with anyone at the moment. 

Yelena had never really cared about socializing at such occasions before. Her disguises were to conceal her identity as a killer for the Shadow Garden. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Now that she had become a cultivator, her perspectives had broadened. Naturally, she felt even less inclined to socialize. 

However, a beautiful woman would inevitably attract some gazes. Even if she tried to keep a low profile, she would unintentionally become the center of attention at the event. 

Quite a few people had the idea to approach and strike up a conversation. 

However, they were quickly intercepted by others, who whispered something to them. Consequently, all their gazes would eventually shift silently toward the same person–Emrys. 

Their eyes revealed apprehension. 

Naturally, they dared not approach so casually again. 

Soon, a fearless bald man made his appearance. 

His name was Woody, Montague’s best fighter. He was quite favored by Montague. 

Woody didn’t come for Yelena but went straight to Emrys. He gri 

and said, “You’re Mr. 

Lund who saved Ms. Chloe, right? I’m Woody. Are you interested in getting to know each other?” 

“Not interested,” Emrys replied honestly. 

He was never particularly interested in social events like these. This time, he was only there because Yelena had dragged him along to serve as a surprise gift. 

He never intended to interact with anyone, except for beautiful women. 

Woody’s smile froze for a moment, then he laughed, “No problem, Mr. Lund. You really have character. You’re not even willing to give any respect to a small fry like me.”
