Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 531 She Is at the Forum

Aaden pointed in the direction of the gate, indicating for Matteo to leave quickly with his men.

Matteo looked at his men, and they shook their heads, so Matteo took them out.

They had already turned the entire seaside villa upside down, but they could not find Ainsley.

"Mr. Easton, are you really sure that Ms. Easton is inside? When we were looking for her just now, there was not

even a trace of Ms. Easton in this villa." The subordinate said respectfully.

Matteo's expression was a little sullen. He and Manuel had already discussed it. He was responsible for finding Aisy

even if he had to turn the world upside down. Manuel was responsible for holding Daniel back.

"Have you checked the other villas?" he asked.

"Yes," the subordinate nodded.

Matteo sighed, took out his phone, and dialed Manuel's number.

"We didn't find Aisy. She must have been hidden by Daniel. This fox is not simple."

"You don't have to look for her." Manuel pursed his lips.

"Why?" Matteo was puzzled.

Passing through the bustling crowd and the colorful lights, Manuel saw the two people walking towards him. His thin

lips parted slightly. "Aisy is at the forum."

Manuel hung up the phone and put his phone back in his pocket. He also walked a few steps toward the two people.

Cason did not understand, but he knew that Daniel was not a good person, so he followed Manuel.

Daniel seemed to be proclaiming sovereignty and hugged Ainsley's shoulder. Strangely, Ainsley did not resist.

Manuel immediately took a step forward and grabbed Ainsley's wrist. "Aisy, come home with me."

"Don't touch me, Mr. Gage. There are so many people here. Don't try to do anything to me."

Daniel smiled and stood between Manuel and Ainsley. "Manuel, I advise you not to cause trouble in this kind of

situation. Otherwise, everyone will have a hard time."

Some reporters had already caught what had just happened. After all, this was not Seattle. The people who would

participate in the forum were all big shots. If this matter became big, many people would be awkward.

Manuel regained his senses. His expression eased as he looked at Ainsley with a complicated expression.

Everything was confusing. He did not know why Ainsley would suddenly appear at the forum. He also did not know

why Ainsley looked at him with such a ... strange gaze.

The forum officially started and everyone discussed intensely. Only Manuel and Cason looked at Ainsley. After all,

everything about her was too strange.

Cason said with dissatisfaction, "Why is Ainsley with Daniel? Why are the two of them so close?’

"I don't know either," Manuel shook his head.

"It is not suitable to talk about it in the current situation. It is not too late to ask about it at the evening banquet,"

Cason said.

There were people who spoke on the forum and some people concluded. However, Manuel was not in the mood to

listen. The Gage Group did not need anyone to guide its development.

Cason was also absent-minded like Manuel. Their attention was completely taken by Ainsley.

Only Daniel spoke to people with ease and did not let Ainsley leave his line of sight.

Soon, it was time for the banquet. Unlike the forum meeting during the day, this was a banquet organized by the

merchants. It was not so formal.

As expected, Ainsley appeared again. She was also wearing a dress the same color as Daniel's dress, and Ainsley

held him like Daniel was her boyfriend.

Manuel's hands hanging by his side clenched tightly and then loosened.

Manuel approached Daniel, and his tone contained the anger that he had tried his best to suppress. "As expected,

you took her away. No, it was a kidnapping."

Daniel shrugged and sneered. "Mr. Gage, don't talk nonsense. When did I kidnap her? Besides, she has nothing to

do with you, right? You guys are just... Let me think. Oh yes, you are just his ex-boyfriend. Since you have already

broken up, don't meddle in our business."

"What did you do?" Manuel's temples throbbed.

Maybe Manuel's eyes were so sharp that Daniel didn't dare to look him in the eyes. Instead, he dodged. "Manuel,

don't be too confident. You've hurt her before.

"So what right do you have to mind her business?"

Daniel glared at Manuel before leaving with Ainsley.

Manuel wanted to stop them, but he noticed Ainsley's gaze.

It contained impatience, faint boredom, coldness, and alienation, as if she was looking at a stranger.

With just this one glance, Manuel felt his entire body go cold. Those words were stuck in his throat, and he could not

say a word. He could only watch them leave his line of sight.

"Why did you let them leave just like that?" Cason looked at Manuel in confusion.

Manuel sighed and said impatiently, "Cason, don't follow me."

Manuel turned to leave, but Cason followed behind him again. "You think I want to follow you? In this special period,

I always feel that something is wrong."

From the initial confrontation to the peaceful analysis now, it was all because of Ainsley's abnormality.

Just after the banquet began, there were people who interviewed Daniel. Daniel openly brought Ainsley with him. A

reporter recognized Ainsley and asked, "Mr. Hume, if I'm not mistaken, this lady should be the young lady of the

Easton Group, right? After getting married to Cason and having an ambiguous relationship with Mr. Gage of Seattle

for a long time, is she in a relationship with you now?"

Ainsley didn't say anything. Daniel glanced coldly at the reporter who asked the question and said unquestionably,

"Ms. Easton never said that she and Mr. Gage are a couple. As far as I know, it seems that Mr. Gage has been

pestering Ms. Easton. This is also a kind of trouble for Ms. Easton. Am I right, Aisy?"

Under countless spotlights, Manuel was dazzled by the light. Ainsley in the light was particularly cold. She nodded,

and Manuel's fingers trembled slightly.

Then Daniel added, ‘ By the way, Ainsley and I are already engaged. She is now my fiancee. Last night, she agreed

to my proposal."

Daniel raised Ainsley's hand. There was indeed a huge diamond ring on her hand.

Under the spotlight, it was particularly dazzling.

Cason widened his eyes. Seeing Manuel's confusion, he understood that many things had happened in just a few

days.

Even Manuel did not know about these things.

Manuel held back his anger. He looked at Ainsley, trying to see a trace of impatience and boredom in her eyes.

However, he failed. Ainsley's eyes were filled with joy, a joy that he could not understand.

"Manuel, what is going on?" Cason could no longer hold back. He wanted to punch Daniel.

But his reason made him unable to do so, so he could only ask Manuel.

After all, too many things happened during this period. He did not know, but Manuel definitely knew.

At this point, Manuel knew that he absolutely could not sit still and wait for death. Without Matteo, the only person

who could cooperate with him was Cason.

Manuel thought about it and decided to tell Cason everything.
