The CEO's Woman-Chapter 437 Crumble in Her Hands
Chapter 437 Crumble in Her Hands
According to everyone's knowledge, the Petrov Family had a different tradition. They would never kiss someone's hand if they did not greatly admire the person. The women instantly start wondering if Ivan Petrov might have taken a liking toward the Jiang Yue. Was that the reason he came to this party?
It was also known that Ivan's wife had just died a few months ago. He could not have possibly attended this party to steal Mr. Fu's future bride, right?
If so, that would be presumptuous. How could the handsome and single Ivan Petrov take a liking to a woman from the East with an unknown background? Of course, not many people knew about Jiang Yue's achievements since they only took the time to research Fu Jin's background. After all, this was his party and he was the new owner of Moon Empire. He was the one with the biggest authority on this island.
Jiang Yue instantly felt more daggers directed into her back. Women were initially jealous that she had the opportunity to stand beside Fu Jin, but now that Ivan Petrov was also showing that he adored her, some women's jealousy instantly increased by another mile. Jiang Yue could only laugh inwardly at these women's antics.
She knew that Ivan Petrov's gaze contained adoration. Yet, it was a different kind of emotion. She was almost certain that it was not the type that was directed to a lover. Instead, it was like…
"Thank you for coming, Mr. Petrov." Fu Jin said. He was surprised by Ivan Petrov's action, however, it did not show on his face. He only gave the older man a smile before looking at his son. "Please, enjoy the party."
After engaging into small talks with Ivan Petrov, both Fu Jin and Jiang Yue bid him goodbye as the entertainment was about to start. After a few minutes, a group of entertainers made their entrance and started performing for everyone.
However, Jiang Yue's mind was already a mess. Her heart was pounding so hard, she could barely hear the music. Maybe she was simply hallucinating just now, but Ivan's eyes were exactly like Li Qiang's. The way Li Qiang looked at her mother was exactly the way Ivan Petrov looked at her. It was so gentle and full of affection. The pull that she felt toward him was also another important matter to consider.
"Jin… do you think that man…" Jiang Yue's words were interrupted by Fu Jin's nod.
"I think so," he said. "He should come and talk to use before this night ends."
Fu Jin's confirmation instantly made Jiang Yue smile. However, it did not last long when she noticed another older man also staring at her intently. She glanced to her right and smiled at the old man who was looking at her. From the images, she assumed that this man was Antonio Pardi, her grandmother's husband. Her gaze then traveled to the older woman next to him. This two were not present a while ago, they must have just arrived.
Jiang Yue's gaze lingered towards Natalie, as her smile becomes broader.
To say that she did not bear any resemblance to the woman would be a lie. In fact, the woman looked just like Wang Ruo's older vision. Except for Wang Ruo's piercing gray eyes, this woman was the exact replica of her mother. She should be Natalie Vercello, the matriarch of the Vercello Family and the owner of the biggest real estate company in Emerald Country.
Seeing the change in the woman's face, somehow made Jiang Yue elated. She might not know the real reason that woman had left her grandfather, yet, she couldn't stop herself from showing resentment to her grandmother.
Wang Ruo's words instantly echoed into her mind. Natalie Vercello had left her grandfather for power. Of course, Jiang Yue would not be that naïve to believe her mother, after all, she did not know the real story behind her grandfather and Natalie. However, it did not mean that she likes that woman. To Jiang Yue, that woman was nothing but a stranger. Whatever her reason for leaving her first husband was, be it for power or for protection, that woman was someone that she would not recognize as her grandmother.
If she was one, then she would not have let the Vercello Family do whatever they were doing with those children.
A sudden chill flashed in Jiang Yue's eyes, too quick for anyone to notice. Thinking about those kids that the Vercello Family was experimenting on, instantly affected her mood. This Vercello Family was very cruel, they were almost inhumane.
Of course, Jiang Yue also understood that the Vercello Family was nothing but a group of smart and rich businessmen who would do everything to protect their empire.
Empire.
Too bad that empire was going to crumble in her hands soon.
With this in mind, the smile on Jiang Yue's face became even more beautiful. It was almost blinding. That smile instantly made Antonio Pardi frown. For some reason, he couldn't help but start having a bad feeling because of attending this party.
