Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 414

"You can dance," Mr. Michelle said. Telling from the way Avery moved, he found Avery can dance.
Avery ignored what he said and turned to look at the dance floor, looking for Jessica. But everyone wore a mask, and she couldn't see clearly. Avery was at a loss. She didn't know what she should do. She shouldn't stand there alone and do nothing. Moreover, many people came to invite her to dance. It was a tricky thing.
Besides, Mr. Michelle was just like a fly, always following her.
Avery couldn't stand and said to Robert, "Dance with me."
Robert became very anxious and couldn't stand stable. He almost knelt down and said, "Mrs. Howel, I can't dance with you. Dancing with you is just like killing me."
"Don't talk nonsense! Dance with me! Quickly!" Avery held Robert's cuffs as if they were hand in hand.
Robert was relaxed gradually.
"Are you afraid of me?" Avery asked. She found there was about half a meter between her and Robert.
"Do you want to know the truth? Mrs. Howel? Shall I tell you?"
"You don't have to."
Robert stopped immediately. He tried to cooperate with Avery. Soon, Avery found where Jessica was.
Avery came to Robert deliberately, but Robert suddenly told her, "Mrs. Howel, in fact, Mr. Howel had come to help you."
"Mrs. Howel?" Robert found Avery ignored what he said, and she was looking for something.
"What?" The music was also loud. Avery couldn't hear what Robert said clearly. Moreover, Avery had no interest in listening to what Robert said.
"Nothing. I just asked when I can stop."
"Exchange the dance partner," Avery lifted her chin and pointed to the couple, princess and Jessica.
"Does Mrs. Howel want to dance with the prince?"

"No. You dance with the prince," Avery wanted to take Jessica here.
Robert had to obey.
Avery held Robert walking through the crowds. On the way, she was thinking about how to exchange the dance partner, but Andrew held Avery.
"Andrew Clifford? Why are you here?"
"I found Jessica is here," Andrew answered and looked at Jessica.
"So, what's your plan?"
"Let's dance now. Wait and see," Andrew held Avery's waist, and Avery put one of her slim hands on his shoulder and put another hand on Andrew's waist.
Soon, Evan found Andrew and Avery held each other talking and laughing. Under the mysterious moonlight, they looked very close.
Now, Evan almost lost control. He was eager to bring Avery back.
But Evan didn't do it. He knew if he did, Avery would be the focus of the party and be in danger.
Therefore, Evan tried to ignore Avery.
But he couldn't control himself. He couldn't stop looking at Avery.
The mood became more intense when Evan saw Avery.
Evan couldn't see clearly. But when he saw Avery raised the head and looked at Andrew, while Andrew lowered his head and made a smile, Evan believed Andrew kissed her.
Suddenly, Evan frowned and made a tight fist unconsciously. The back of his hand bulged with the blood vessel.
"Ow!"
Rebecca shouted in a low voice. She frowned, unconsciously showing the hurt.
"Evan, you hurt me," Rebecca complained.
Evan immediately loosened his hand and stopped dancing.
Rebecca was sure there was something wrong with Evan.
She closed to Evan and asked, "Are you OK?"
Evan was silent. He felt desperate.
"It's none of your business."
Then Evan walked to the table, picked up a glass of wine, and drank it up.
But it wasn't enough for him. He picked up the glass and drank another one.

The strong alcohol stimulated the tip of his tongue, passed through his throat, and went into his belly.
He tried to numb himself with strong alcohol, but he felt more anxious now.
Rebecca stood by and put one of her hands on his arms. She wanted to stop him, but she didn't dare to do it.
Evan had continuously drunk 7 or 8 glasses of wine and trembled all of a sudden, so Rebecca pressed on the back of Evan's hand hurriedly, saying, "Evan, it is enough. Stop drinking. You will get drunk."
Evan was at a loss. When he heard Rebecca's voice, he turned to look at her.
With the effect of alcohol and soft and flashing light, Evan couldn't see clearly. He mistook Rebecca for Avery.
Evan raised his hand slowly, touched Rebecca's chin, and leaned down.
Rebecca held her breath and closed her eyes. Her heart was beating fast.
A song was over. People stopped dancing and left the dance floor to have a rest.
At this time, Avery also loosened hands and stepped back. When she raised her head and was going to say something, she saw Evan and Rebecca. They were standing beside a cluster of flowers.
They looked very close, as if they were the ones.
Rebecca held Evan's waist tight, and Evan raised Rebecca's chin. It seemed that Evan was going to kiss her.
Seeing the scene, Avery unconsciously narrowed her eyes. She felt sad.
When she saw it in her own eyes, she couldn't control herself. She couldn't pretend nothing happened.
She couldn't understand. Evan just kissed her and touched her neck with his lips under the tree, but now he seemed to kiss Rebecca. She felt disgusted.
She put her one hand on her chest and covered the mouth with another hand.
"What's wrong? Are you OK?" Andrew asked.
"My belly feels uncomfortable because of some cold food that I ate a few days ago."
"Shall we go back first?"
"It's OK. I go to the toilet first," Avery shook her head. She wouldn't leave there.
Then Avery walked to the restroom.
As soon as Avery left the hall, Evan suddenly pushed Rebecca away in a gentle way. To Rebecca's surprise, Evan didn't kiss her. She shouted with astonishment and opened her eyes.
Then she saw that Evan followed Andrew to another room.
When Avery walked into the restroom, she calmed down and felt fine.
At this moment, everyone was dancing, talking, and enjoying the beautiful night view and cool winds. Few people in this building, not to mention the restroom. Just a few servants were walking around with drinks, fruits, and deserts.
