VENUS REVENGE
Chapter 23. The Feast of Nobles 2

“Is this wedding anniversary event made every year?” ask Venus to know. That information might be able to add to his insight in offsetting the talks of other guests, later.

“No, Miss. Now is Baron Holloway's silver wedding anniversary. Of course he wants to make it special,” replied the driver.

“Oh, it turns out like that. Alright!” Venus nodded.

“But it will probably be very crowded, Miss. It won't be less than the party crowds of his daughter's wedding last year. All nobles in and outside the area were invited. Even those from abroad came. This city is so amazingly crowded and full of festive decorations!” reveal the driver.

“You can save my phone number, if you want to go home. I might have to park very far later. So just call, so I can pick up at the location closest to your place,” he explained while showing his mobile number on Venus.

Venus copied the momor to her own phone. “I've saved it.” He made a call and the driver nodded. The man kept Venus's number. The car drove back. Now they have entered the public road.

Venus pulled out the envelope Bratt had handed her. It turned out that Chester wrote a message before leaving. “While you hate him so much, remember to hold back. Good revenge, done with great care and full planning. It's not time now!”

Venus mused reading the message. He remembered a small, thin dagger he had tucked behind the stocking. Venus sighs. “Then when does that retaliation time arrive?” his inner.

Due to the overwhelming traffic jam, it took an hour until Venus reached the front gate of the event. Venus got out of the car and walked towards the gate guarded by several men and women.

The entrance queue is quite long. The guards checked all the invitation cards offered by the guests who came, then they could enter.

“Hey, who is this standing alone?”

Venus glanced at the man who was reprimanding her impolitely. He's funny and he doesn't care.

“Hei! I'm talking to you, Miss Moriarty!” sniff the man.

Venus looked at the man sharply. “Are you a chicken? Just because my dad's not here, then you think you can squawk recklessly?”

Some people laughed at Venus. But not Elliot Morgan, the arrogant man who always quarreled with Chester was actually getting angry. His emotions were provoked, as it turned out that Venus was not the woman he could be afraid of.

“Heh! You're just rich. How could a lowly class like you dare to come here!”

The lively-dressed woman who kept on trailing Elliot like the flag cloth, showed a mocking smile. She is the woman who is at odds with Venus in the museum. This time he felt confident for being Elliot's sidecar to the nobles' party.

“Low height of man seen from adab and his manners. Although a nobleman, if he is useless, why!” reply Venus spicy. He rushed forward following the line.

In the back, Elliot became the laughingstock of the guests who were waiting in line. Venus' words enraged her, no longer able to hold her back. He chased Venus and was about to hit the girl in return for her rude remarks.

However, one of the guards swiftly blocked and pulled him from the line. “You interrupted the queue!” reprimand guard.

“I have to reply to that brash woman!” elliot Protest. He rebelled from the check of the guards.

“If you can't help yourself, then you will be banned from entering!” threaten the burly guard.

“I'm from the Morgan family! How can you hold me? The girl is not even a nobody, when you guys get away with it?” elliot Protest.

The guard looked at Venus who was behind a man being examined. The guards reported Elliot's words to his friend, so they could examine Venus more closely.

Elliot who saw Venus was also taken out of the queue, showing a sense of pleasure and believing that Venus would be barred from entering.  However, his arrogance did not last long. The guard called someone after seeing Venus' invitation.

The guard who was holding Elliot and the stupid man himself, was wide-eyed at the sight of who the man who had come out to pick up Venus and scolded the doorman. He's Baron Holloway himself!

Elliot could say nothing more. He couldn't believe it, how did the Baron himself pick us up out of the building? “What is important to the Moriarty family actually?”

“This is because you can't hold your mouth!” he snorted the girl he had taken to the party.

“Hah! If you're not happy because I can't get into the party, please just beg the men there, to take you in!” Elliot pushed the girl away so hard that she fell by the side of the road and became everyone's joke.

“You're outrageous! I hate you!” the girl shouted angry. He's gone from there. Where does she have another face to seduce another man into getting into the party, after Elliot's humiliation!

“Do you think I like you? I just love it!” reply Elliot while shouting furiously.

The laughter broke again. Making the face of the girl that Elliot insulted become very red from embarrassment!”

“Hahs. The low girls. They were willing to climb on the bed of a little noble just for the sake of being able to go to an upper-class party!” men on both.

“Sial!” umpat Elliot is upset. He was also ridiculed as a small noble by somehow who he didn't even know.

“Fitness your mouth!” he threatened her with vengeful red eyes. The guard, who pulled him away and pulled him out of the gate.

“You can't get into the party!” says firmly.

***

Venus, who was pulled out of line, was asked to show an invitation. The girl showed her a gold-colored invitation. The guard was shocked and immediately contacted his superior. Before long the host, Baron Holloway came out and scolded the guard who was holding Venus, even though he was holding a gold invitation!

Venus entered with the Baron's hand.

“How about your father?” ask Baron.

“Dad on duty,” says Venus politely.

“Oh, of course. I know that he's a very busy man.” Baron Holloway nodded in understanding.

Now they have arrived at the venue of the event. “Nah, please you enjoy our serving. Have fun!” baron Holloway said before he left.

“Thank you.” Venus bowed respectfully.

Then look around. The venue of the party was very spacious and magnificent. There are plenty of food on all sides. Venus took a glass of cocktail brought by the waiter who kept going back and forth.  Venus looked and walked to and fro. Now he knew how difficult it was to find a seat in a place full of visitors.

Finally he found the most strategic seating location. From there you can see whoever walks into the party. Venus went there. Garden benches in a place that is not too bright. There were two other girls sitting there.

“Can I sit here?” ask Venus.

“Sure.” A shoulder-haired woman invited him to sit with them. Then the three chatted casually, like they had known each other for a long time.

Until the entry of Hugo and his wife, makes the heart of Venus again burned with anger. His eyes narrowed thinking about which part of Hugo he would hurt first, in order to know how sick Venus was.

Behind Hugo, walked gracefully a beautiful woman. He put on a fake smile.  “Do you suffer being his wife?” inner Venus
