Chapter 168
Quinella and her group left the banquet hall and arrived at the hotel entrance.
They saw two large trucks parked on the road outside the hotel.
After seeing Quinella come out, the truck drivers got off the trucks, walked to the back, and pulled down the curtains. The moment the curtains fell, the star lights inside instantly lit up, and they saw the perfume roses full of the two trucks.
“Wow!” The hotel staff covered their mouths in surprise.
There were so many perfume roses.
They smelled so good, and they were all so beautiful,
Joyce and the others looked at Quinella in surprise.
Quinella stood rooted to the spot in astonishment, clearly surprised as well.
Latoya said, “Quinella, the roses are so beautiful,”
Ramona echoed. “Yes. What a surprise! Who is so thoughtful to have prepared such a big surprise?”
Quinella didn’t know what to say, “Ahem.”
Latoya suddenly thought of something
Some time ago, when Quinella went to Lasmare for a tour, a wealthy businessman from Lasmare liked her and booked the whole venue. However, Quinella scolded him and refunded all the tickets.
Later, there were rumors of a relationship between Quinella and the rich businessman from Lasmare.
Could it be that the rich businessman from Lasmare sent these two tracks of roses? That rich businessman from Lasmare is a suitor, and he is pursuing Quinell. It wouldn’t be surprising if he were the one who sent them, Latoya thought.
Joyce asked, “Quines could it be the guy whose name is Harry or something from last time?
Quinella pursed her lips “How boring. What’s the use of so many flowers?”
She turned and walked into the hotel.
Passersby took out their phones to take pictures of the roses in the trucks. Latoya and Ramona couldn’t help but take out their phones and snap a fey. Then, they followed Quinella hack to the banquet hall.
It didn’t take long for a lot of people to gather outside. With the two large trucks of perfume roses parked outside, everyone couldn’t help but take a
second look.
Of course, it also attracted the people in the next room.
The waiters whispered to each other that there were two rose Trucks outside.
The news spread quickly, and people from Serena’s side ran out to see it soon after that.
They thought it was a marriage proposal.
Unexpectedly, they saw the sign on the rose truck, which read “Happy Birthday! Quinella“.
‘Oh my God. How much do so many roses cost!”
“Did a suitor of Quinella’s send this?”
“How generous! They’re the most expensive perfume roses. It must have cost a fortune.”
These roses are just for show. They’ll probably wither overnight. What a waste. But I guess when you’re rich, you can be capricious. They only did it to enjoy the visual feast and fleeting happiness. They think it’s worth it.”
“Could it be related to the rumored affair between Quinella and that wealthy businessman from Lasmare! The one who’s in real estate?”
“It’s possible…”
Whispers and murmurs arose around them, stealing the spotlight from Serena, the birthday girl who was supposed to be the center of attention.

Chapter 168
A flicker of displeasure crossed her heart as she glanced at Justin beside her.
Justin’s gaze was also fixed on the roses in the trucks, and his expression carried a mixture of longing and disappointment.
It seems Quinella has another man in her life after all… Justin thought.
Serena nudged Justin with her elbow in dissatisfaction. Only then did Justin return to his senses. “What’s wrong!” he asked.
Serena said, “You still ask me what’s wrong! It’s my birthday today. Don’t you have anything for me?”
Justin replied, “Isn’t this birthday party enough!”
Serena said, “It’s far from enough.”
Justin replied, “Serena, we are already an old couple. What’s the use of all this formality? We live for ourselves, not for others to see. Besides, look at the people around you. Who is living a better life than you?”
These words might have comforted Serena before
But it couldn’t now.
Those who danced were already outstanding if they could become famous, and only a few of them could marry into wealthy families and become wealthy men’s wives like Serena.
Therefore, Serena was very popular in the circle these years.
But now that she was getting old, her relationship with Justin was not as good as before. Now that the passion had faded, when she saw her rival Quinella pursued by wealthy people with perfume and roses, it would be a lie to say she was not envious.
Serena was dissatisfied with justin, but she knew her limits. She lowered her voice and said, “I think you don’t care about me allymore. Humph
With that, Serena turned and entered the hotel, leaving Justin outside alone.
Soon, everyone else entered the hotel one after another.
Quinella and the others finished their meal. The rose trucks were still parked outside. The hotel manager came to ask Quinella when she would have the trucks driven away. But to have the trucks driven away, she would have to contact the wealthy businessman first. Otherwise, Quinella wouldn’t know where to have them driven to
So, she had to go to the terrace and call the wealthy businessman.
The call connected quickly, and Quinella said coldly, Hello! Harry, have the drivers drive the trucks away immediately. It’s blocking the hotel’s normal parking. Don’t cause the any trouble.”
Meanwhile, Eliana was outside taking pictures with Latoya and Ramona in front of the hotel
Ramona and Latoya stručk a pove, and Eliana stood in the middle and raised her phone to take a selfie.
After they took the photo. Eliana looked at it, zoomed in on a corner, and was surprised to find a man standing on the lawn in the back, breaking into their shot. Guess I can’t use this photo anymore; Eliana thought.
There’s a man over there,” said Dliana.
Ramona asked, “Where”
The three turned their heads and saw a luxury car parked by the lawn not far behind.
A man stood on the lawn, making a phone call.
Eliana glanced to the side and saw Quinella, on the hotel terrace, also on the phone.
Eliana’s eyes lit up with surprise. “Do you think this man could be the rich businessman pursuing our teacher?
Latoya quickly said, “I know, I know. He’s Harry Xander, the leading real estate developer in Lamare.”
Ramona said, “Damn, he’s awesome. He even dared to come to the scene. Let’s gossip and find out what is going on”
The three of them hid away, silently watching them on the phone.
Although they couldn’t hear the content, they felt they could imagine it, and it was very exciting

Quinellasid. “Get y
your
trucks out of here quickly
Harry replied, “They’re for you. You can drive them wherever you like and do whatever you want with them.”
Quinella was speechless. “I told you I don’t want to get married. Stop bothering me.”
After saying that, Quinella hung up the phone with a snap.
Then, just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly found a man standing behind her.
Looking closely, she realized it was Justin.
The aging Justin was no longer as refreshing and handsome as when he was young. He only had the aura of a greasy businessman with a big belly.
It was exactly what Quinella hated the most.
When Quinella saw Justin, she felt she must have been blind to have fallen for such an annoying man like him
The more she looked at him, the more disgusted she felt. Sise didn’t even want to spare him another glance
She didn’t say anything. She assumed Justin was here to get some fresh air on the balcony, so she strode past him, ready to leave.
But she didn’t expect a hand to grab her wrist as she passed by Justin
“Quinella..” said Justin.
