"I don’t have time to play with you!" Will pushed her away and took Xiaotang’s small hand, "Let’s go, we’re going downstairs."
Jessica stepped forward, slapped his hand away, and pulled Gan Tang in front of herself.
Will frowned, his gaze becoming instantly sharp.
"Let him go right now!"
With a cold snort, Jessica picked up the little guy and walked off. As Will reached out to grab her, she turned around, and just as he was about to catch Gan Tang, Will immediately withdrew his hand, fearing to hurt the child.
"Jessica!" Will shouted angrily, "If you harm the child, I will never forgive you."
Smiling at him, Jessica bent down and hugged the little guy to her chest, "Of course I won’t harm him. I’m just taking him to Miss Gaia. Xiaotang, do you want to go with me to find mommy?"
"Jessica!" Will blocked her way, the secret between Gan Yuan and Huangfu Jue was not yet to be unveiled. This girl acting on her own taking Gan Tang away could cause trouble and potentially lead to a terrible chain reaction, "You want a one-on-one fight, huh? Fine... I agree, but you must promise me if I win, you won’t touch Xiaotang tonight."
"What if you lose?!" Jessica asked.
"If I lose..." Will shrugged, "I’m at your mercy."
"You better not regret it!"
"Deal!" Jessica glanced around, "Let’s go to the lounge over there."
Carrying Gan Tang, she headed towards the lounge, with Will hurriedly following.
By the sofa, Gan Yuan was smiling and talking with two businesspeople introduced to her by Moses, her gaze casually sweeping in Huangfu Jue’s direction.
She was originally looking for her son but instead saw Qian Xueying standing with Huangfu Jue.
What was that woman trying to do?
She pondered suspiciously, unintentionally casting more glances their way.
At this moment, a waiter had emerged from the drinks room at the side, carrying a tray and walking towards Huangfu Jue.
The waiter, just like the others, was dressed in a white shirt and a black vest and did not seem different at first, but as Gan Yuan shifted her gaze back to them, she immediately spotted the difference in this waiter from the others.
While the other waiters were holding the tray with one hand and the other hand behind their back, bowing slightly in a very respectful and humble manner, this one was using both hands.
He quickly approached Huangfu Jue, and as he lifted the tray with his right hand, Gan Yuan distinctly noticed a flash of light.
Concerned, she didn’t think twice before standing up and shouting out loud.
At this moment, forgetting everything else, her only concern was for his safety.
It was just as the first song had ended, and the venue was especially quiet, her urgent call startled everyone present.
Huangfu Jue was no exception. Hearing her voice, he instinctively turned his head and immediately noticed the waiter two steps behind him with a vicious gleam in his eye.
Qian Xueying exclaimed, throwing herself onto Huangfu Jue. Although he had already raised his right hand to prepare to strike back, her sudden embrace restricted his movement, and he stiffened.
At that moment, the fake waiter swung down his knife hand.
Grabbing Qian Xueying’s arm, Huangfu Jue swiftly turned, yet despite his efforts, the descending dagger still cut through Qian Xueying’s back, ripping her dress and immediately causing blood to gush out, staining her white gown red.
