Meanwhile, there was a celebratory atmosphere in the banquet hall. Josephine was a little upset


    because of Selena’s incident, so she drank more wine than usual, and she couldn’t quite stop. “Joey,


    this wine is nice too. Do you want some?” At the side, Luke introduced more wine to her.


    Frankly speaking, Heidi was quite satisfied with Luke. Even though Luke didn’t have outstanding looks,


    he still came from a decent background. He had also put in a lot of effort to pursue her daughter, but


    her daughter declined his advances all the time..


    “Luke, help yourself to more food!” “You too, Mrs. Jacobson. I’ll deliver more supplements to youter.”


    “It’s okay. You gave me plentyst time, and I haven’t finished them yet!” Heidi said with a smile.

    While seated at the main table, Ellen was wearing a festive red dress, and she exuded the charming


    and tender aura of a bride. Jared took care of her with great consideration, and Willow was seated at


    the side as well. They were very considerate of Ellen.


    Due to his unique identity, Ethan was also seated at one of the front tables. However, as he chatted


    with the guests, he couldn’t help but steal nces behind him. Because of the obstructed view, he


    could only catch sight of Josephine’s figure every now and then. “A toast to you, Mr. Quarles.”


    “As to you.” Ethan clinked sses with the person, and after he had finished the wine, an idea urred


    to him. “Enjoy your meal. I’m going to talk to a friend.”


    With that, Ethan took his wine ss with him as he headed straight for Josephine’s table. Meanwhile,


    Olivia was suggesting to Connor that they should toast at the Presgraves’ table. She wanted to get on


    good terms with the Presgraves so that they could help them in the future.


    However, Connor wasn’t quite willing. Firstly, he felt like he had no right to meet the Presgraves.


    Secondly, it was a big day for Ellen, so he didn’t want to affect her mood. Thirdly, the Presgraves might


    not wee theSeeing that her husband was too timid, Olivia could only give up. They were still


    unaware of the fact that their daughter had been chased off the ind!


    After observing Olivia, Josephine realized how Olivia managed to raise a cunning woman like Selena,


    Olivia was a very selfish person herself; she had terrible table manners, and she kept hoarding the


    latest dishes so that she could taste them first before everyone else.


    Josephine watched Olivia’s behavior as if she were watching a show. Meanwhile, the other guests at


    the table chose not to speak up since they had their reputations to maintain, but they were obviously


    upset.


    Just then, Luke was about to put some food on Josephine’s te when he noticed Olivia grabbing the


    dishes again. He said harshly, “Ma’am, let’s be decent people, alright? Stop hogging the dishes; it’ll


    come to you.”


    Olivia almost lost her cool, and with another re from Connor, she reluctantly let go. As Luke scooped


    up the food, a pair of arms rested on Josephine’s shoulder. A low and alluring man’s voice sounded.


    “Miss Jacobson, here’s a toast to you.”


    Josephine’s heart skipped a beat, and she turned to see that Ethan had arrived. She immediately got


    up and took her wine ss, clinking it with his as she said earnestly, “Mr. Quarles, thank you so much


    for helping me out.”


    Heidi turned to look as well. Her eyes widened when she registered what she was seeing. Since when


    had her daughter gotten to know such a tall and handsome man? He looked even better than a male


    model! What was more, he had a noble and elegant aura about him. “You’re wee. We’re


    acquaintances, after all. It was nothing.” Ethan curved his lips into a smile.


    “No, if possible, I insist on treating you to a meal as thanks.” Josephine thought that thanking him


    wasn’t enough to repay this kindness, so she should treat him to a meal. “Really? In that case, I’ll be


    waiting,” replied Ethan eagerly.


    “Who’s this, Joey?” Heidi tugged at her daughter’s sleeve. It was only then Ethan remembered that


    Heidi was sitting next to Josephine. He immediately smiled and greeted, “Hello, Mrs. Jacobson. I’m


    your daughter’s friend.”


    “Hello, hello! What’s your name?” Heidi hastily asked. “My name is Ethan Quarles,” Ethan replied with


    a smile. At the side, Luke suddenly lost interest in the food as he turned around and said, “Joey, stop


    chatting. Have some more food.”
