    Chapter 166 The Engagement Banquet


    Before he could finish his sentence, someone from the other side was calling him again.


    With a sincere and earnest tone, Aiden pleaded with her. “I’m counting on you,”


    Then, in a rush, he ran off.


    Lysander looked in the direction where Aiden had run off to and saw Lysanne dressed in a white t–shirt


    and blue jeans. She wore no makeup: her face was bare and natural, and her hair was tied up in a


    ponytail.


    Her appearance seemed… As Lysander was thinking, her train of thought was interrupted.


    Cam chuckled as she spoke. “Laura, I must be getting old. I saw a girl standing at the door just


    thought it was your daughter, Lysander. They dress so simrly.”


    t now and


    After taking a nce, Laura clicked her tongue, remarking, “Had you not mentioned it, I wouldn’t have


    noticed. They really do bear a striking resemnce.”


    “Even though she looks different, she’s not as beautiful as Lysander.”


    “I think she looks fine, but why are all youngdies so in these days? I thought only our Lysander,


    being a doctor, needed to be like this.”


    Cam said with a chuckle, “Perhaps the affluent families of today prefer simplicity? Didn’t your


    daughter Lysander marry into a wealthy family? Look at that youngdy over there. The man standing


    beside her clearly looks like he’s not short of money.”


    She was speaking about Aiden.


    Aiden had just mentioned the day was about Josiah’s and Lysander’s something.


    Aiden didn’t finish his sentence, and Lysander didn’t want to ask. If it’s being held in a hotel, it’s


    probably came 1/2


    Chapter 166 The Engagement Banquet


    Ever since she had distanced herself from their love story, Lysander was somewhat surprised to find


    that she looked at the two of them as if she were a mere spectator, as if she were observing someone


    unfamiliar. Despite recognizing them, that was all there was to it


    Interestingly, it was Laura who noticed something peculiar. “That man just now seems familiar with you,


    Lysander. What is his rtion to Josiah?” she asked.


    Lysander said, “I’m not entirely sure about the specifics. I don’t really involve myself in Josiah’s


    business affairs.”


    Laura took her hand and said, “Once you’ve left, don’t overthink things. We’re simply not from the same


    social ss as them. It’s better off this way after leaving”


    “I understand, Mom.”


    As they were speaking, the hotel’s main door was pulled open from the outside.


    Josiah was leading the way. His brows were tightly furrowed, emanating an aura of defiance.


    “Josiah…” Lysanne let out a cry.


    As if he hadn’t heard anything, Josiah continued to walk straight ahead.


    Lysander quickly jogged after him, calling out, “Josiah…”


    Josiah paused, turning back to nce at her, his expression cold. “Stop following me.”


    Lysanne’s eyes were tinged with red, a picture of hurt painted across her face. However, she was a


    stark contrast to her usual domineering self, who would order Josiah around without a second thought.


    Almost pleadingly, she said, “But today is our engagement banquet…”


    “Lysanne, listen, Susan leisurely walked in, calling out to her.


    Lysanne turned around, “Madam Susan…


    Susan stood in front of her, looking down at her with a less–than–pleasant tone. “You know exactly how


    this engagement feast came to be. Your mother knelt on the ground, threatening her own life, forcing


    Josiah to acknowledge you as his fiancée. Josiah agreed, out of respect for the decades–long


    rtionship between our two families, and also because he didn’t want to see your mother harm


    herself. However, you should understand that ever since his grandmother passed away, there’s been


    no emotion left between him and you.”

    Lysander was thoroughly chastised by Susan. Her head hung low as she bit her lip in silence, not


    daring to utter a word.


    Susan continued, “Moreover, because of your child, Josiah has now be theughingstock of the


    entire Harborbrook. Yet you insist on holding this engagement banquet, which is essentially trampling


    on the reputation of our Guerra family! It’s understandable that your parents are concerned for their


    daughter, but 1, too, care for my son. Therefore, I will attend this engagement banquet on behalf of


    Josiah today.”


    Lysander suddenly looked up. “Madam Susan, what do you mean by this? This is the engagement


    banquet. How could you rece….


    “Josiah came over today to handle some business and he won’t be staying long, so don’t hold him


    back. All right, let’s get started. The sooner we finish, the sooner I can also leave for my own matters.
