During that meal, Nicole didn’t eat much, but she did swallow a belly full of anger.

She just couldn’t understand why Neera had such good luck, even managing to get involved with the
Park family.
She didn’t believe Neera deserved that fortune.
That night, her mind was filled with thoughts, half consumed by resentment toward Neera and the other
half filled with longing for Jean.
Ever since she saw that man, she had been lost in thought those past few days, losing her appetite.
She kept wondering if there was a chance she might see him again.
She wondered why hadn’t she taken the opportunity to get to know such an outstanding man sooner.
The more she thought about it, the more regretful she became. She couldn’t bear the thought of her life
ending so uneventfully. Suddenly, she sat up and ran off to find Leopold.
At that point, it was alreadyte into the night, yet Leopold was still awake, sitting in his study, dealing
with paperwork.
Seeing Nicolee to find him, he was somewhat surprised. “Why haven’t you gone to bed yet?”
Nicole went straight to the point and said, “Leo, take me with you to the Park family’spany event.”
Upon hearing that, Leopold looked at her suspiciously. “You’ve never shown interest in these events
before. Why the sudden change of heart?”
Nicole spoke ambiguously, casually making up an excuse. “I wasn’t interested before, but now I am.
After hearing Grandpa rave about the Park family, I became curious. I want to see just how grand the
Park family is and how many important figures they can invite.”
“Is it just because of this?” Leopold felt that her reasoning was not solid enough.
Nicole insisted, “Yes, it’s for that very reason. I am, after all, the daughter of the Meyer family. Surely, I
have the right to attend, don’t I? Leo, if you refuse to take me, then I’ll just go by myself. If the security
stops me and doesn’t let me in, then I’ll have no choice but to ask them to find you.”
Leopold frowned. “You’re being ridiculous.” If people see that, it won’t be a pretty sight. They may even
ridicule the Meyer family.
Nicole clearly had no fear, lifting her chin to look at him. “We’ll see if I will when the timees.”
Leopold knitted his brows tightly. In the end, he figured that taking her along wasn’t such a big deal
after all, and finally agreed.
Seeing him agree, Nicole was finally satisfied and returned to her bedroom.
In the blink of an eye, the day of thepany event hosted by the Park family had arrived.
As the night descended, the first lights began to twinkle. In front of Kingsmead Club, a multitude of
luxury cars had already gathered.
In the banquet hall, quite a few people had already arrived.

Neera had arrived early when there weren’t many people around. She had introduced the Beauvort
family elders to the Park family.
When facing the two from the Beauvort family, Nadine and Jeremiah were rtively polite. However,
Elmer and Mariah were not as courteous.
They knew how those two had previously disapproved of their precious granddaughter being with Jean
and had done everything in their power to obstruct them. Of course, they were aware it was simply
because the Beauvort couple felt their own granddaughter was not good enough for the Beauvort
family. Every time they thought of that, they felt a wave of difort and a lump of resentment that
never quite went away.
Thus, when it came time to greet the Beauvort couple, the Park family elders appeared rather aloof.
Regarding that, both Frederic and Wrenn were not surprised.
Wrenn pursed her lips, sighed lightly, and took the initiative to speak. “Old Mr. and Mrs. Park, I know
that you are dissatisfied with us. Previously, due to my biases, I made a very foolish mistake. I only
heard and believed one side of the story. As a result, I misunderstood Neera, causing her and Jean to
fall into pain. I was too trusting of my own prejudices, overlooking the goodness of Neera. For this, I
have been filled with regret. If time could be turned back, I would definitely not treat Neera as I did
before. However, I know regret is futile. Life, like a road, only moves forward. The only way I can make
amends is by treating Neera even better than before. As such, I hope you both can give me this
opportunity. I would be truly delighted if Neera could be my daughter-inw. I promise to cherish
her like my own daughter in the future.”
At that moment, Frederic spoke up. “Indeed, we, the Beauvort family, are at fault in this matter. As
parents, we have failed to do our duty. We have hindered the love between the young couple and
caused Neera a lot of pain. We have deeply reflected on this. From now on, whether it’s my wife,
myself, or even Jean, we will treat Neera with utmost care. We will absolutely not let her suffer any
grievances again.”
Upon hearing that, Elmer and Mariah changed their attitude slightly. In the end, they did not show any
further displeasure toward the Beauvort couple.
What they really wanted to see was the stance of the Beauvort family.
Since the Beauvort family had expressed their stance, there was no need for them to keep dwelling on
the past.
From the way Neera’s adoptive parents had been ndering her and judging by the reaction of the
Beauvort family, it was clear that the Beauvort family genuinely cared for Neera.

In that case, there was no need for the families to remain at odds.
With that in mind, Elmer cleared his throat and said, “The granddaughter we’ve painstakingly found is
the apple of the Park family’s eye, We will not allow her to be hurt in any way. We hope you can
understand. As long as these two children are well, there’s no need to mention the rtionship
between the Beauvort and Park families.”
Upon hearing those words, Wrenn felt a weight lifted from her heart, and she nodded repeatedly in
relief. “Yes, indeed. From now on, Jean and Neera will surely be happy. My son has no bad habits.
Although he’s a man of few words, he’s absolutely impable. He’s wholeheartedly devoted to Neera.
He’s worthy of her and will never let her suffer any grievances.”
Afterward, Frederic and Elmer had a chat about thepany while Wrenn and Nadine engaged in
some casual conversation. The atmosphere gradually became more lively.
Before long, almost all the guests had arrived.
Nadine and Jeremiah were entertaining guests, and together, they invited Neera to join them in
greeting.
Jean and Edward were standing together, casually chatting about something.
Naturally, the sight of two handsome men chatting became the center of attention in the banquet hall.
Countless wealthy and nobledies were casting their gazes toward them, many with infatuated
expressions on their faces.
At that moment, Edward was called away, leaving only Jean behind.
He nced through the crowd, spotting Neera busily entertaining guests with Nadine, and smiled.
Somewhere along the line, Neera had be a presence even more dazzling than himself.
Unbeknownst to him, he had seemingly be the man standing behind her.
He thought about it seriously and didn’t reject such feelings. On the contrary, he was quite proud of her.
The woman I love the most is the center of everyone’s attention, and I am her most loyal servant. With
that thought in mind, he lowered his gaze and smiled.
That scene was witnessed by Nicole, who had been observing him from not too far away.
Following his gaze, she looked toward the woman in the center of the crowd. Her eyes narrowed, a hint
of gloom surfacing in their depths. I wonder what kind of spell that woman has cast to capture the heart
of such an outstanding man. Then again, what does that matter? As long as he’s interested in a
woman, there are plenty of ways
to win him over!
With that in mind, she took a deep breath, looked down at her outfit, then pulled out her phone to check
her appearance in the camera and touched up her lipstick. After ensuring she looked absolutely
perfect, she picked up a ss of wine, swayed her hips, and gracefully walked toward Jean.
She already had a script nned.
When she passed by Jean, she would pretend to twist her ankle, then fall into his arms, willingly
throwing herself into his embrace.
She firmly believed that no man could resist such a provocation.
When the timees, I’ll find an opportunity to talk to Jean, and everything will be easier then. Asking
for his phone. number, inviting him out for a meal and having a chat, none of these are difficult tasks.
The more she thought of him. the more confident she became, her steps bing lighter.
Seeing herself getting closer to Jean, she puffed out her chest, and as she had nned beforehand,
she staggered and threw herself toward him…
