Chapter 357 a swarm of rivals in love (1/2)
In the evening party, Essie was the focus of people's attention. Once the news that she was single again came, all the nobles in the city were eager to chase her.
But she also knew that they not only wanted her, but also the Xu's Group behind her. If anyone could get her, he would have the half the power of Xu's Group. Besides, she was a breathtaking beauty. No man would refuse her.
Tonight, although she was going to attend the party together with Eva and Vinton, she didn't have a male companion. Since Bella had something urgent to deal with, Hanson couldn't make it. It was a good opportunity for the rich young men.
She was wearing a long dress embroidered with a Phoenix Nirvana, which seemed to be a sign of her rebirth. Her long hair was coiled up and she wore a lavender makeup, as if the dark night elf, mysterious and charming.
Zac saw her at the first sight. The memories of the past few days were rushing over him like the river, making him want to rush over and hold her tightly in his arms. But he couldn't. He tried his best to put up with it. He blacked out with anger and he didn't even hear what Leila said.
Essie also saw Zac. There was coldness in her eyes, which had been frozen from the bottom of her heart.

His heart convulsed severely, and his mouth seemed to be full of Coptis. The extreme bitterness spread from the tip of the tongue to the internal organs, choking thousands of words.
”Everyone is in pairs. Don't you feel lonely to come here alone?” Leila's words were full of provocation. After that, she reached out and held his arm, declaring her sovereignty.
But Essie ignored her. She smiled and said, ”I came here with my elder brother and my close friends. How could I be here alone?”
”Yes, you are right.” Eva's voice came from behind. ”Even without Vinton and me, there are still so many single men at the party. They are all scrambling to be our Essie's companion. How can she be lonely?”
”Is she so popular? Why didn't I find it?” Leila sneered impatiently. In her eyes, Essie had divorced before and she had two children.
”Only a fool will give up the girl from a noble family and marry a fake girl of no value and status.” Eva made no secret of the irony in her words.
