After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1091

Daisy smiled warmly at Jolie, speaking to her softly, "Mr. Cooper is over there. Go and invite him."

Following Daisy's gaze, Jolie looked over. Standing at the intersection of light and shadow was Gavin's tall figure. His face was devoid of any unnecessary expression, his dark, deep eyes fixed intently on her as he held a glass of champagne in one hand.

For no apparent reason, she felt an air of domineering authority emanating from him. It was as if she was already his possession.

Jolie quickly averted her gaze and nodded slightly. "I understand."

"Go on." Daisy patted her hand with a smile.

Taking a deep breath, Jolie turned and began walking toward Gavin.

The scene drew curious looks from the surrounding guests.

"Is Miss Quin inviting Mr. Cooper to dance?"

"Is the Quin family planning to form an alliance with the Cooper family?"

It wasn’t entirely impossible. After all, Gavin had attended Jolie's birthday banquet.

As everyone watched Jolie's approach, their astonishment grew when she walked past Gavin and extended her hand to a man behind him.

"Would you like to dance with me?" she asked, smiling brightly.

Ian took her hand and replied, "It would be an honor to dance with you, Miss Quin."

Ian's parents, who were also present, looked surprised at first but soon broke into smiles. They had always liked Jolie.

From a distance, Daisy’s smile faltered almost imperceptibly. What was Jolie doing? Why didn’t she invite Gavin? And who was that man? She had never seen him before!

But regardless of who that man was, Jolie had silently defied their decision! And at an occasion like this, they couldn’t even stop her. Doing so would undoubtedly offend the Moore family!

Daisy struggled to maintain her smile, though a glint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

As the dance ended, Jolie took Ian’s arm and walked over to Daisy and Terence.

"Mom, Dad, let me introduce you—this is my boyfriend, Ian.”

Ian gave a polite nod. "Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Quin."

For Terence and Daisy, this was nothing short of a bolt from the blue!

The fact that Ian was her partner for the opening dance had already left them shocked and furious, but to learn that he was her boyfriend? That was beyond anything they had expected!

Daisy's smile faltered, barely holding its place. She asked, "Jolie, when did this happen? Why didn’t you mention it earlier?"

A hint of mockery flickered in Jolie's eyes. If she’d told them in advance, would tonight’s scene have played out the same way?

This was exactly the effect she wanted!
