Pippa Golding knew Sheila was at the event too, and she was so furious she skipped dinner entirely.
She called Thurston Golding and found out Sheila was only there for work.
She hadn't chased Edmond here.
That allowed Pippa to breathe a small sigh of relief.
But even so, she couldn't let her guard down.
To Edmond, Sheila was clearly entirely different from anyone else.
Even knowing she was just an ex-girlfriend was enough to drive Pippa insane with jealousy.
Especially seeing Sheila at the gala tonight, that seething jealousy peaked into absolute hatred.
At the same time, she was completely baffled as to why the man standing next to Sheila was Cecil Rhodes.
Cecil was practically royalty, not to mention dangerously handsome. The first time Pippa had ever laid eyes on him, she had been momentarily stunned into silence.
But after witnessing firsthand exactly how twisted and psychopathic Cecil could be, all of her awe had instantly morphed into sheer terror.
Rumor had it that not a single woman who got involved with Cecil ever met a good end.
And now Sheila was wrapped up with him...
Pippa's mind spun with countless horrific scenarios of how miserably Sheila's life was going to end.
She remembered hearing about a woman who had cheated on him once... rumor had it he had her dumped in the middle of a remote wilderness to fend for herself...
Pippa shuddered violently just thinking about it.
But what if Sheila ended up betraying Cecil too?
Pippa shifted her gaze toward Edmond across the room.
Her resolve hardened, her plan becoming crystal clear.
It was Sheila's first time at an event like this.
Wanting to buy her a gift, Cecil handed her the auction catalog and told her to pick whatever she wanted.
Sheila flipped through the pages, seeing nothing but ultra-high-end jewelry she had never even seen in real life before.
But she had absolutely zero interest in things like that. Besides, she would never accept something so absurdly expensive from him anyway.
