Secret Marriage, High-Profile Pampering!-Chapter 796: If You Dare to Get Drunk Again
Ariella Sawyer next to Summer Sutton also seemed to dislike the event tonight, as she had already started yawning.
"Did you memorize your speech for later?" Summer Sutton nudged her, reminding.
Ariella Sawyer was jolted by her words and snapped back to attention.
"You should have reminded me earlier." She patted her face and earnestly picked up the small note she’d prepared earlier from the table.
Ever since Lorraine Hughes made her donation, nearly all the guests were discussing topics revolving around her.
Ariella Sawyer was just a C-list celebrity who wouldn’t bother competing over such trivial matters, nor would she compare donation amounts with others. She would do as much charitable work as her capacity allowed.
When she went on stage, she donated five hundred thousand.
For the average person, it wasn’t a small amount, but for a female celebrity, it was bottom-tier.
However, Ariella Sawyer didn’t care much, made a simple speech on stage as if completing a task, and after finishing the formalities, her stomach rumbled hungrily, hoping dinner would start soon.
Ryan Walyon was delayed by unknown reasons today, arriving rather late.
As soon as he appeared, Ariella Sawyer greeted him from afar, "Mr. Walyon, over here!"
Her voice was quite loud, as if she was very familiar with Ryan Walyon.
Many female stars at the venue already regarded Ariella Sawyer as an eyesore after seeing Ryan Walyon escorting her home last time.
This call from Ariella Sawyer instantly focused their previous resentment towards Summer Sutton entirely onto her.
Ariella Sawyer found herself stunned for a few seconds after calling out.
The reason she called Ryan Walyon was purely because Summer Sutton and Adrian Walyon were at her table.
Ryan Walyon was family with them, so, naturally, they should sit together, right?
But unexpectedly, calling out to him had such an effect.
Ariella Sawyer felt a bit awkward, unsure of what to do for a moment.
She even hoped Ryan Walyon hadn’t heard her call.
Ryan Walyon’s gaze had already drifted in her direction, evident that he had heard her call.
Looking over the crowd, he quietly stared at Ariella Sawyer for a moment before slowly walking over to where she was.
Each table had only four seats; Summer Sutton was sitting next to Adrian Walyon, leaving Ryan Walyon to sit next to Ariella Sawyer.
As he approached, Ariella Sawyer inexplicably grew nervous, her throat somehow dry.
She took a glass of champagne from a server and gulped it down.
Originally, she was just thirsty, but having consumed it, she suddenly realized she had drunk champagne as if it were water.
Beside her, Ryan Walyon’s voice drifted softly, "Miss Sawyer, don’t drink too much and end up drunk."
Ariella Sawyer felt embarrassed, unsure if he was genuinely concerned about her or simply worried she might cause trouble if she got drunk, thus bringing him inconvenience.
Ariella Sawyer initially wanted another glass of champagne, but feeling embarrassed by his comments, she opted for juice instead.
After Ryan Walyon arrived, he immediately went on stage to make his donation.
In truth, he was not a charitable person; his presence at events like tonight was purely for business networking and enhancing corporate image.
Most of the guests had already donated, leaving only Summer Sutton and her husband.
The highest donation so far was from Lorraine Hughes — ten million, with others considerably behind, except for Ryan Walyon.
The publicist accompanying Lorraine Hughes had already planned the press release for tomorrow, thinking up plenty of praise for Lorraine Hughes, even beginning to text the studio employees, instructing them to overshadow the other attending guests.
The host suddenly exclaimed--
