Diana Wood turned her head and relayed the servant’s words to Old Master Walyon, "Dad, Adrian is back!"
At this moment, all the guests had already arrived, and the banquet had just begun.
Adrian’s timing was neither early nor late, just perfect.
Old Master Walyon replied with an "Okay" and stood up.
He slowly walked into the center of the crowd and confidently spoke, "Good evening, everyone! Today, I want to thank all the relatives and friends who have come." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NoveI[F]ire.net
He was the most senior member of the Walyon Family, naturally held in high regard.
Once he spoke, the previously noisy room immediately fell silent.
"Today, the reason for inviting you all here is to announce some good news." Old Master Walyon’s gaze swept across the faces of the crowd, his speech slow and deliberate.
Gina Sutton stood not far away, quietly watching him, her heart leaping with joy at the sound of his voice.
Her chin lifted proudly as she quietly awaited the announcement from the elderly man.
In the next moment, when the Old Master announces the engagement, all the lights at tonight’s banquet will surely shine upon her, right?
Starting from tonight, she will become the most envied woman by all other women in Northtown!
Gina Sutton’s heart was racing rapidly, not from nervousness, but from uncontrollable joy within.
A subtle commotion came from outside the hall.
Accompanied by the servant’s greeting, "Young Master is back!"
Upon hearing the words "Young Master," Gina Sutton’s heart beat even faster.
Adrian Walyon, the man who was about to be engaged to her, had returned!
The man that countless women in Northtown dreamed of marrying would be hers after tonight!
Gina Sutton naturally adjusted her long dress and hair, took out a mirror to check her makeup, ensuring everything was flawless, then turned her gaze back outside the hall.
A minute later, Adrian Walyon appeared within everyone’s sight, slowly entering the crowd.
Together with him was a woman.
The girl walking in was extremely beautiful.
Her features were typical Oriental beauty, exquisitely like someone from a painting, with a delicate nose, fair skin, and a clean aura; the white small dress added a touch of liveliness to her.
No one recognized Summer Sutton at the scene, nor knew her identity; the crowd watched her with a look full of curiosity.
Gina Sutton initially didn’t see clearly; once the person came into the hall, she completely saw Summer Sutton’s face, and her face instantly turned pale.
"Mom, why is she here?" She asked Betty Chapman next to her in a low voice.
Betty Chapman looked terribly upset at that moment.
Asking her? She also wanted to know!
Adrian Walyon’s gaze briefly swept across Old Master Walyon standing in the center of the venue, and he leisurely walked towards him.
Passing by Diana Wood, Diana suddenly grabbed him, "What are you doing? Don’t you know what occasion it is tonight?"
"Of course I know." Adrian didn’t pay her any attention, pulling the perplexed Summer Sutton to his side.
Summer Sutton was completely dazed, like a ragdoll, letting him lead her, unaware of the current situation.
"Who is she?" Diana asked sternly.
Adrian didn’t answer but continued to lead Summer Sutton towards the Old Master.
"Adrian, don’t make Grandpa angry; there are so many people here tonight, be mindful of your words!" Diana reminded him again.
"Madam Walyon can sit and take a rest!" Adrian didn’t even turn his head, continuing his leisurely pace.
Diana’s face turned black with anger.
Telling her to cool off by herself?
