Chapter 227 - Wooers 3

The guards were terribly worried. They were so upset that they almost wanted to rush out and question her, "What are you doing, little Hulk?"

In the end, they saw Emily take out a lighter from her pocket. She lighted it, and a blue flame came out. She held the lighter with her hands and raised it in front of Vincent's face. The blue flame lit up her face with an innocent smile as she said, "Happy birthday, Mr. Vincent. Make a wish."

Guard A whispered, "What the heck was that?"

Guard B whispered, "Are you blind? It's a lighter!"

Guard C whispered, "She wants Mr. Vincent to blow... to blow..."

Guard D whispered, "Guard 3, you're making it weird by pausing there."

Guard A froze.

So did Guard B.

And so did Guard C.

Vincent just staring at the flame in front of him and did not move for a long time. Emily felt her arms burning, so she whispered, "Can't you think of a wish?"

She had no idea that Vincent had never blown a candle on his birthday all these years, let alone making a wish.

Behind the flame, her dark eyes looked bright. Vincent suddenly lowered his head and blew out the flame in front of him. At that moment, his only thought was: what a heartless girl. He had looked forward to it very much.

They had not seen each other for more than a week. But before they could talk to each other properly, Rex had walked towards them from the banquet hall and said, "Mr. Vincent, the people from the east and the west are already here. They are all waiting for you."

Vincent nodded and touched the top of Emily's head with his hand as he said, "Wait for me here."

That was right. It was his birthday party today, so he should be very busy. Emily waved at him, but she then saw the guards following behind Vincent staring back at her as they walked away.

Emily was puzzled again.

Emily lowered her head and texted Sydnee, "Where are you now?"

However, Sydnee did not have time to look at her phone at the moment. As she arrived at the entrance of the Garden Hotel, she run into the last person she wanted to meet there. Marquise had not been discharged from the hospital for a long time. His injuries were much more serious than Eliot's. After lying in the hospital for many days, most of his injuries had finally healed. He was then sent home on bed rest. Because he was too bored, he sneaked out without telling his family today.

Marquise's men didn't see Sydnee in the banquet hall, so he just waited for her at the entrance while leaning against the wall. It turned out that he had made the right choice.

Sydnee was wearing a down jacket and was holding two gift boxes in her hands. One of them was a gift that Emily had asked her to brought, and the other was the birthday present that Sydnee had prepared for Vincent.

However, before she could get in, Marquise had stopped her. She raised her head to look at him and tried her best to ignore her displeasure. She only asked, "Mr. Marquise, what's the matter?"

It had been a little more than a month since Marquise last saw Sydnee, but he felt it had been so long. Sydnee's face had clouded over, but Marquise was not angry with her this time. He just took out the roses he had hidden behind him, gave them to her and said, "I don't know what you like, but I bought you roses."

His injuries hadn't fully healed yet. He probably used his injured abdominal muscles as he took out the roses. He frowned slightly, but then he tried not to frown. He forced a smile and looked at her.

Sydnee's eyes widened. She could never have thought that Marquise had not given up even now.

She didn't know that she would only turn a man on if she kept rejecting him.

However, perhaps that was so-called bad coincidence. Before she could refuse the bouquet, she heard someone from behind her say, "Hey, Mr. Quinn, isn't that the girl you went on a blind date with?"

Another man cried out in surprise, "What? You went on a blind date with the daughter of the Dickerson family?"

Rey did not expect to run into Sydnee at the door. He could not help but remember the embarrassing thing happened in the hotel bathroom before, and he tried to sound casual, "It's all over."

Marquise's face darkened. He covered his abdomen with his hand and looked up to the people behind Sydnee. The people who had just gotten out of a car were all rich young men. Although they were not really from wealthy families, they were definitely not idlers. Those men in nice suits walked towards them and smiled when they saw Marquise.

Sydnee was not less distressed to see Rey. Rey and Marquise were both bastards, and she didn't want to meet either of them. She tried to walk sideways to leave the place, but Marquise grabbed her arm. Even though Marquise had not fully recovered, his strength was still huge. As he held Sydnee's wrist with one hand, he grabbed the shoulder of one of the three men with his other hand. He asked coldly, "What are you laughing at?"

Still with a smile on his face, that man turned around, spread out his hands and said, "No, I'm not laughing."

Marquise stared at him expressionlessly, his eyes looked vicious as he said, "You are."

Rey and another man turned around and came back. Rey knew that what his companion just said had probably caused trouble, so he explained, "Mr. Marquise, Miss Sydnee and I just had a meal together. There is nothing between us."

Marquise glared at him, "Did I ask you about it?"

"Then what do you mean?" Rey stood in front of him, reluctant to show weakness.

Sydnee, who was surrounded by four men, could not help but wonder why she could never get rid of unwanted wooers even after graduating from college. When would God ever give her an excellent man?

"If you do another disgraceful thing, I will never help you again!" Suddenly, they heard a voice from inside. And then they saw Eliot taking Elsie out by pulling her arm. Elsie did not yell because they were in the public, but the reluctant look on her face was obvious. And Eliot also looked furious.. As Eliot and Elsie came out from the hotel, they saw Sydnee surrounded by four men there.
