Chapter 386 - 389: David Redington’s performance becomes increasingly obvious
“I… I don’t know…” Lily Gray shook her head.
She had heard this name several times, especially from Joan Wellington.
“I have heard Joan mention it several times. But Aidan Lucas has never mentioned it in front of me. I guess it’s a woman’s intuition, but I always feel that this name is not that simple.”
“Joan Wellington?” Skye Brown suddenly grinned slyly, revealing two sweet dimples, “That isn’t simple. If Joan knows this, then Dylan Wellington surely knows. Don’t worry, leave this to me.”
“Skye, are you going to use your beauty to find out?” Lily Gray shook her head, “Please don’t. You don’t like Mr. Wellington, and his past achievements are quite impressive. My relationship with Ethan Wilson is very good, and it may just be me overthinking. You really shouldn’t…”
“Who said I’m going to use my beauty? I won’t let Dylan Wellington off the hook easily. I just want to simply ask him, using this…” Skye Brown finished speaking and formed a fist, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with a vibrant spirit.
Cough, it seems that she wants to use brute force to “conquer” Dylan Wellington.
Lily Gray couldn’t help but wipe away some sweat, “Alright, do as you please. But remember, this is not a very important matter. If Mr. Wellington doesn’t talk, you really don’t need to… seduce him. Skye, unless you are willing, there’s no need to humiliate yourself.”
Lily Gray spoke very seriously, causing Skye Brown’s face to turn slightly red.
“What are you talking about, willing or not willing… I would never do anything with him… Let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s go in, the birthday party is about to start!”

In the club, the birthday girl, Ella Reed, was in the center of the dance floor, surrounded by people, preparing to blow out the candles on her cake.
Lily Gray and Skye Brown, who had already given their gifts, were sitting on a sofa in the corner, clapping and singing the birthday song with everyone else.
“Happy Birthday to you!”
As the last line of the song ended, Ella Reed blew out the candles amid everyone’s congratulations.
The lights on the dance floor lit up again. Lily Gray looked around, and everywhere she could see tall, good-looking men and women from the entertainment circle.
Quite a few of them were even popular movie stars at the moment.
However, the most outstanding among them was David Redington, standing opposite her, holding a glass of champagne, leaning against the wall, and silently watching.
He’s looking over here again.
David Redington’s deep gaze seemed to want to see right through Lily Gray, unabashedly staring at her face.
Just now, when the lights were turned off to blow out the candles, Lily Gray could already feel that strong gaze on her.
Now, as the lights turned on again, David Redington’s focused eyes were almost too much for Lily Gray to handle.
“Hey, Lily… what’s going on with David Redington? It’s being rumored in the crew now that he’s quitting acting because his marriage proposal to you was successful and he’s ready to retire. This kind of gossip could be big or small. Will Ethan Wilson be jealous when he hears about it? You’d better give David Redington a heads up in advance to not spread rumors.”
Skye Brown leaned close to Lily Gray’s ear, glancing at David Redington and then back at Lily Gray.
David Redington was all right, standing there looking calm and composed, but his eyes never left Lily Gray.
Even when Skye Brown stared at him, and the rest of the people in the room looked at them both with strange and gossipy eyes for a while, David Redington remained still.
Well, if he was not going to move, then Lily Gray had to take action.
“Skye, come with me for a walk.”
If she stayed any longer, she would either be stared at by David Redington until he made a hole in her face or be left exhausted by the teasing and gossipy glances of the other people.
