Divorced but Delighted

Chapter 35

Chapter 35 Is Clerra Cici Barton?

In the VIP lounge on the second floor, Draven stood by the railing and looked down expressionlessly.

“Draven, what are you looking at by standing there?”

Ryan had always been full of interest in beautiful women at parties.

Unfortunately, Ryan had just returned from abroad. There were more men looking for Ryan for business than women inviting Ryan to have fun. Ryan had just gotten the chance to leave those

businessmen.

If not for the huge catwalk in front of them, Ryan wouldn’t know it was a fashion show.

Ryan held a glass of wine and went to Draven. Then, Ryan patted Draven on the shoulder and sighed.

“You are more comfortable than me. When you stand here with a cold face, no one dares to come over. Unlike me, there are people who bother me wherever I go.”

ven put away Ryan’s hand with a cold face. “Stay away.”

”

“Why are you so angry? You left Aleah downstairs and went to look for Sylvia. However, you didn’t find her. So, you’re mad at me, right?”

Ryan did not continue to pat Drave, but Ryan kept talking.

Then, Ryan followed Draven’s gaze and suddenly became surprised. Ryan widened his eyes and patted the railing.

“Hey, isn’t that my wife? Who is the man beside her?”

Draven gave Ryan a cold look.

“Your wife. That’s your wife!” Ryan said hastily.

Draven’s gaze fell back on Cierra’s back as she left. Draven stood still and didn’t say anything.

Ryan finally saw clearly the man Cierra was holding. Then, Ryan exclaimed in confusion.

“How could Cici know Floyd Bernard–Barton? Furthermore, she seems to be more intimate with him than you.”

Draven gazed at Ryan coldly again.

However, this time, Draven explained, “The president of Conny Technology, Colton Bernard, is the matrilocal son–in–law of the Barton family. So he and Fanny’s twins sons, Floyd and Harold, are surnamed Bernard–Barton. William is the twins‘ cousin.”

Ryan had seen William and Cierra together at Ninth Club. Since Willian was the twins‘ cousin. It was

not hard to explain why Cierra knew Floyd.

Ryan didn’t think too much about the twins‘ surname.

The Barton family in Los Angeles had always kept a low profile. The young generation of the Barton family were all capable.

In other words, William owned an entertainment company. Floyd was a star player in a popular e–sport competition. Thus, Floyd was found to be from the Barton family in Los Angeles.

Most people didn’t even know the names of the other young people of the Barton family.

Ryan suddenly thought of something and turned to Draven. “Hey, Draven, do you remember the last time the Barton family donated 83 million dollars because their youngest daughter was brought back? Do you think Cici is the daughter of the Barton family?”

Ryan thought, if that is really the case, the Barton family is out of the West family’s league.

The Barton family is even out of the Trevino family’s league.

A few years ago, the Trevino family could rival the Barton family.

However, in the past few years, the young people of the Barton family have been earning so much money. However, Draven is the only capable young man in the Trevino family. He has no other

helpers.

The Trevino family can’t rival the Barton family in the number of excellent young men. Thus, the Trevino family can’t rival the Barton family in other aspects.

After Ryan said what he guessed, they were silent for two or three seconds. Next, Draven denied quickly.

“No, that’s impossible,” Draven said resolutely.

“How do you know that’s impossible? The young men of the Barton family are so attentive to Cici.”

Ryan looked at the Barton family, “And I heard that the daughter of the Barton family also seems to be called… Cici Barton. Exactly, that’s the name. Don’t you think this is a coincidence?”

Draven looked at Ryan scornfully. “The name Cierra was given by my grandfather. If she were really the daughter of the Barton family, she wouldn’t have changed her name. There’s no need. Only you can come up with such an old–fashioned name like Cici.”

When Draven said Cierra’s nickname, Cici, he seemed to be gnashing his teeth.

Ryan said unhappily, “What’s wrong with the nickname, Cici? Isn’t it a lovely nickname? The daughter of the Barton family is also called Cici. Why did you even scold her by teasing me?”

Draven did not reply.

Obviously, Draven did not have a good Impression of the Barton family. So, he thought there was nothing wrong with him scolding the daughter of the Barton family.

Draven no longer bothered with this name. Then, his tone became serious.

Draven analyzed seriously, “On the day when the daughter of the Barton family reunited with her family, Cierra had just returned from abroad. She was negotiating with me about the divorce then. How could she appear in Los Angeles?”

Draven once had the same speculation. But, according to the importance that the Barton family attached to this girl, it was impossible for the girl not to be in the Barton’s house when they announced her real identity.

That was why Draven rejected the speculation.

Drave thought, why is Cierra so familiar with the Barton family…

Draven’s gaze suddenly darkened. “I asked you to investigate her. What have you found out?”

When this matter was mentioned, Ryan felt thwarted.

Ryan originally had some clues and found that Cierra’s files were changed. Yet, the others realized Ryan’s investigation, blocked him, and strengthened their cyber defenses. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

How difficult it is! thought Ryan.

Ryan leaned on the railing sadly. “I underestimated your wife. No wonder you wanted to investigate

her.”

“I’ll go back to the company tomorrow. I’ll try,” Draven said.

Draven looked down at his watch and turned to leave.

He could no longer see Cierra, and there was no need for him to stay any longer.

It was about time, and Fanny’s fashion show was about to start.

Draven had been looking for Sylvia for so long, but he had not found her. Thus, he could only go to

the show venue to have a try.

Draven thought, it is impossible for Sylvia to not appear since Fanny has specially invited her. She

won’t be so arrogant due to her talent.

At that time, all the preparation work in backstage at the show venue was done.

Fanny was finally free and took Cierra to the lounge to have a chat.

“Our dear Sylvia, do you want to go up and talk?” Fanny turned on the live broadcast of the show

and teased Cierra.

At that time, the models had not come out yet. The one speaking on the stage was the designer of the theme this time, who was sharing her design idea.

Cierra shook her head. “No. My ex–husband–to–be is still looking for me. I don’t want to cause trouble.”

When Cierra had decided not to sign a new contract with the Trevino Group, she had thought that Draven would try to persuade her to cooperate with them. Yet, she didn’t expect him to personally come forward.

After all, based on Draven’s current status in the Trevino Group, it didn’t matter even if he overhauled the entire design department.

Cierra didn’t sign a new contract. There were other designers in the design department. It was not the time when the Trevino Group had been attacked by enemies three years ago. There was really no need for Draven to do this.

“Ex–husband–to–be? You haven’t divorced yet?”

Fanny raised her eyebrows and paid attention to what Cierra called Draven.

Fanny sat down and looked at Cierra. Her tone was solemn. “Cici, you can’t have fantasies about men as a woman in love. Listen to me, there are no good men in the world. You have to divorce him. quickly. You can’t delay it!”

Draven looks handsome. However, he sent his newly married wife abroad as soon as he got married, and it was for another woman. What a bastard! thought Fanny.

Fanny was angry when she thought about it. Fanny looked at Cierra and felt sad for Cierra.

As soon as Fanny finished speaking, a teasing smile was heard from behind her.

“Mrs. Bernard, your words are too biased. How could there be no good men in the world? Are your two sons and several nephews not good men?”
