    At that moment, the sound of microphones being adjusted echoed through the hall, signaling that it was


    time for Old Madam Harrisons’ birthday banquet to begin.


    Vicky, who was about to return to the hall to join the celebration, paused as she heard the crisp sound


    of high heels approaching from the entrance and realized another guest had arrived.


    She stopped and turned to greet them with a polite smile on her face.” Wee…”


    However, her expression froze as sheid eyes upon the two individuals standing before her.


    A tall and beautiful woman, apanied by a handsome and refined man, entered the room


    gracefully. Upon seeing Vicky, a flicker of surprise crossed the woman’s eyes before she smiled and


    said, “What a surprise to see you here, Miss Shaw.”


    Vicky suppressed the slight twitch at the corner of her mouth. She was unable to bring herself to smile.


    “Pleasee in,” she said.


    Aurora, on the other hand, remained motionless. She observed Vicky with a scrutinizing gaze. “Miss


    Shaw, your dress is truly magnificent… Did you design it yourself?”


    Aurora was also wearing a dress that day, showcasing her exquisite figure in a subdued color that


    entuated her elegance and beauty.


    Vicky responded with a faint nod.


    Although the styles and colors of their dresses were different, it was evident that Vicky’s dress was


    more striking. As a fashion designer, she knew how to showcase her advantages.


    A trace of envy shed through Aurora’s eyes.


    Although Vicky was curious about why Tyler and Aurora hade, she knew better than to ask


    directly.


    After all, with Tyler’s status, she could not simply question their presence. On the contrary, it was her


    duty to wee them warmly.


    Vicky made an inviting gesture. “Please,e in.”


    Aurora cast a pointed nce at Vicky, chuckled softly, then linked her arm with Tyler’s as they entered


    the banquet hall.


    Returning to the banquet, Vicky found Elijah and asked in a low voice, ‘Why is Tyler here?”


    Elijah looked puzzled. “Tyler?”


    Vicky nced in a certain direction and asked, “Didn’t you know about this? N


    Shaking his head, Elijah replied, “My parents handled the invitations…” He paused for a moment, then


    continued, “They might have invited Tyler without knowing about your rtionship with him.”


    For someone influential like Tyler, it was normal for him to be invited out of courtesy even if there was


    no personal connection.


    While Vicky was conversing with Elijah, she suddenly felt a chilling and icy gaze fixed upon her.


    Instinctively, she turned her head.


    She first looked in the direction where Tyler was. However, Tyler did not meet her gaze. He was


    surrounded by a group of business elites, with


    Aurora standing quietly by his side, asionally disying polite smiles at others.


    ‘It wasn’t him? Who can it be?’ She thought while scanning her surroundings, finding nothing out of the


    ordinary.


    Elijah spotted her strange behavior and asked in confusion, “Vicky, what’s wrong?”


    She shook her head, feeling that she might have been overly sensitive. “It’s nothing.”


    The dress Vicky wore outlined her curves perfectly. With her alluring features, many men in the hall had


    their attention drawn toward her.


    However, for some reason, Elijah had not looked at her directly. After saying a few words to her, he


    excused himself, saying “Uhm… Vicky, there’s something else I need to do, so I’ll head over there


    now.”
