Chapter 396
“Who is that woman!” someone exclaimed. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“I don’t know. I’ve never seen her”
“Her looks… her bearing! You can tell with one look that she’s extraordinary”
“Anyone who can hold Blake Andrew’s arm on such an occasion can not be ordinary, Look, even Blake’s other descendants don’t have this honor.”
Only then did everyone see Blake’s children walking down behind the trio with their respective children,
“Don’t you think this looks like an engagement banquet for those two?” someone couldn’t help asking.
To be honest, Alfred and this lady’s outfits are simply gorgeous enough for their wedding, let alone their engagement.”
“It must be an engagement banquet. Otherwise, why would the Andrews family hold such a grand banquet for the old man’s birthday! So it’s the heir’s big day.
“No wonder he took so long. So he’s dealing with this matter.”
That’s right. The old man and his family members arrived at the hotel earlier apparently. Heard that they were upstairs accompanying this lady”
Is it really Alfred and this lady’s engagement banquet? I’m looking forward to it
“Most likely it is. Just wait for the old man to announce.it.”
“My
y heart is beating so fast that I’m suffocating
The hushed voices reverberated in the hall.
Heated discussions had already spread throughout the banquet hall. Everyone was certain of one thing. Tonight was Blake’s birthday banquet and also Alfred’s engagement banquet with this lady.
The answer was already obvious. Everyone was waiting for Blake and the person involved to announce
On the red–carpeted stairs, Blake, Alfred, and the mystery woman descended slowly, followed by Blake’s descendants. Every step they took caused the hearts of the guests to thump wildly as they held their breaths.
“Look, isn’t that the woman Alfred acknowledged online as his girlfriend a while ago? Her name’s Lea Berry, isn’t it?
“That’s right. It’s her!”
Lea was too eye–catching. Soon, some guests caught sight of her. Now that someone had recognized her, almost everyone’s eyes were on her.
When the guests
s in the middle of the hall saw her, they moved to the side to make way for her.
Lea stood at the end of the aisle and looked at the three people coming downstairs about 300 feet away from her.
It was as if time came to s standstill. Lea and the three people opposite her becune imunonalized as the subjects in some Renaissance painting.
All around her,
r, the juxtaposition of dim light and the strong spotlight on the stairs created a perfect chiaroscuro.
However, the atmosphere felt exceptionally heavy.
The dim lights and the resplendent, luxurious hall faded into the background to merge with Lea’s gown like skillful sfumato. Parts of her gown that were still in the light sparkled brightly, adding to an air of mystery, beauty, and power.
This lasted und a figure walked to Lea’s side and broke the spell Time flowed again as noise and bustling activity returned to the surroundings.
“Let’s po. I’ll send you luck. There’s no need to stay here and be humiliated,” Milion Andrews said as he extended his hand to Lea. His voice was filled with protective heartache.
At this moment, everything had become clear.
The Andrews family invited all of Everton’s first–class aristocratic families and even sonte second– class families, as well as all of Lea’s relatives and friends in order to humiliate her and destroy her so that she would not be able to live in Iverton.
Lea had been earmarked by the Andrews family for clumination. No one in Everton would work with her anymore. In fact, in onder to express goodwill to the Andrews famuly, these people would do anything to deal with her.
Blake’s move was in destroy Lea, as well as the people who cared about her and those whom she cared about.
Previously, she was not aware. Now that she had seen it, she should give up. There was no room for her here anymore.
He extended his hand closer
Milion’s gaze was fixed on the people on the stairs. “Lea, that’s the wife my grandfather had chosen for Alfred” |
Yet, Lea acted as if she could not see Milton. She lifted her dress and brushed past him. After arriving in the middle of the red carpet aisle, she raised her head to look at Alfred.

Alfred seemed to be looking at Lea and everyone else at the same time. It was impossible to tell if he was happy or angry from his handsome face His deep, profound eyes were unfathomable.
Lea’s gaze was calm, and there was a faint smile on her face even as the mockery and insults around her poured forth.
“It is said that public displays of affection die quickly, but isn’t this too fast just like perishing upon exposure under the sun!”
“It was so touching that I wanted to believe in love again. I thought there was truly a prince who would fall in love with Cinderella. So the whole thing is a farce”
“What academic genius? She’s just a clown.
“If she had any self–awareness, she wouldn’t be here. How dare she dream of hooking up with someone she’s unworthy of
‘Indeed…
Even the older guests could not help lamenting
“Isn’t common for young ones to go through a few breakups? Yet the Andrews family is being so heavy–handed with a young girl”
“That’s right. I’ve long heard that the elders of the Andrews family did not approve of their relationship, especially Blake Andrews. I didn’t expe

“I heard that the elder Andrews and the elder Berry we
were sworn friends”
“It’s been years since Blake Andrews treated anyone like this.”
Blake was famous in the circle for being a ruthless character in his younger days. Now, he was old and lived in seclusion. Generations changed, and people thought that he had turned into a charitable old man.
“Well, that young lady doesn’t know her place. She dared to bring up the matter of their vastly different family backgrounds and even made such a big deal that everyone knows about it”

“That’s right.
