Chapter 417

They looked in the direction of the voice and saw the crowd parting as though before a tide. A cold beauty in a white dress was

striding toward them. She was tall and slender, with an air of invincibility. She looked around the crowd, and her gaze made many

girls back away, defeated by her perfection. When her beautiful eyes swept across them, the cold arrogance in them made

countless attendees lower their heads, as though they stood before the queen of a snowy kingdom. “Who is she?” Someone in

the crowd sneered. One of his friends had recognized the woman, and he hastily clapped his hand over his companion’s mouth,

his face pale. “Are you mad? That’s Miss Chloe Somerset! Don’t you recognize her?” “Miss Chloe?” The first man who spoke

froze. He then suddenly remembered something, all the blood draining from his face as he hurriedly held his tongue. The woman

was none other than Chloe Somerset. “Miss Chloe?”

Mr. Moseby’s expression changed the second he saw Chloe. He suddenly had a very bad feeling. Forcing a smile, he said, “Why

are you here so early, miss? You didn’t tell us in advance, either.” “Hmph! If I didn’t make it in time, were you lot going to chase

my guest out of here?” Chloe scoffed. She was rather cold by nature and she rarely smiled. Now that she was properly angry, her

pretty face looked like it was made of ice. “Mr. Clarke here is my esteemed guest. What’s this about chasing him out and calling

the cops?”

When he heard Chloe’s accusation, all the blood drained from Mr. Moseby’s face. This man was Miss Chloe’s esteemed guest?

How was that possible?

Even the wealthiest heirs in Capital City had to be extra polite when they talked to Miss Chloe. How

could someone as noble as Miss Chloe know a peasant in rags like this? Mr. Moseby turned to explain.

“I didn’t know he’s your guest, Miss Chloe. I never would have dared if I knew.” Chloe did not seem

convinced. She just gave Philip an apologetic smile, saying, “Sorry I’m late. “I didn’t expect my servants

to be so clueless. This mess is my fault.” She was truly annoyed this time. Who was Philip Clarke? He

was the young master of the Clarke family and her fiance! These people accused him of such

nonsense and even tried to chase him out of her party. Was that not a sign of utmost disrespect to her?

Besides, it had not been easy for her to invite Philip over. All her effort nearly went to waste, and that

only made Chloe even angrier! However, Philip looked completely calm, as though all those insults had

never happened. “It’s fine. I’m used to it.” As he said that, he glanced at Mr. Moseby and said calmly,

“Still, it seems your butler is prejudiced against me. I already told him that I’m an invited guest. All he

had to do was check the guest list. But he just refused to listen.” Mr. Moseby gave a shudder and

nearly lost his footing. Forcing a smile, he said, “Miss Chloe, please. I can explain.” “Save it. “I will tell

Father exactly what you did and recommend that he fire you right away. You will cease to be our

representative here at Riverdale.” Chloe made it sound simple, but her words plunged Mr. Moseby into

the depths of despair. Right now, all he could do was look at Xavier pleadingly. After all he had done for

Master Denver, he hoped that the latter would lend him a hand. What he did not know was that Xavier

was feeling similarly freaked out right now. From the moment Chloe showed up, his heart had been

pounding in his chest. When she said that Philip was her esteemed guest, he could not believe his

ears.

That was Chloe Sommerset, Old Master Sommerset’s granddaughter! Hans Sommerset’s youngest

daughter! Forget Xavier himself, even his father would have to plaster on a smile and kiss up to Chloe

in her presence.

Although the two families were long-time allies, the Sommersets were based in Capital City, right at the

heart of the country. They were the most powerful family in the capital! The Denvers were only lords of

Golden City.

Of course they would never dare to act like kings in front of the Sommersets.

That was suicidal! Besides, the Sommersets were well-established in the upper echelons of the capital.

The Denvers could not even come close. Since Moseby was looking at him for help, Xavier had no

choice but to clench his teeth and step forward. “Miss Chloe…” Chloe turned to look at Xavier and said

with half a smile, “What’s the matter? Do you want to explain too?

Don’t try to lie to me. Do you think I don’t know what you’re like?” Xavier could not hold back his anger when he heard that.

Frustrated, he said, “But this guy was the one who stole my girlfriend first…” “Shut up! Chloe’s expression turned cold and she

barked at him furiously. Her gaze on Xavier was full of angry disappointment. Steal his girlfriend? Philip would never do

something like that. “I thought that after Uncle Denver sent you to train with the special guards, you might perhaps grow a proper

backbone. Looks like it only made you worse. “Mr. Clarke is usually such a good-natured man who hates conflicts, but you

actually managed to force him into such a situation. That just goes to show how out of control you usually are. “I will personally

relate this matter to Uncle Denver, don’t you worry about it.”

After that, she ignored Xavier, who had gone deathly pale. Turning to Philip, she said, “Mr. Clarke, the party is about to begin.

Shall I take you around the place?” “Why not?” Philip nodded. He then gave Xavier a brief glance and a smile before turning

away. Mr. Moseby’s legs gave way underneath him and he crumpled to the ground, his face the color of death. Xavier lowered

his head and gritted his teeth, his hands clenched into tight fists.

Philip’s last glance at him made him feel like a joke. It was a sharp dagger buried deep into his ego. “That *sshole!” After Chloe

and Philip were out of earshot, Xavier finally exploded. He grabbed a wine glass from the table nearly and smashed it into the

ground. “Master Denver, please control yourself.” A stage manager was already on hand to manage the situation, but he frowned

and warned Xavier when he saw the latter’s actions. Xavier looked around and saw that everyone was trying their hardest not to

laugh at him. When he remembered how he had been publicly humiliated just now, he had no choice but to stomp away.
