Chapter 1522


    The party took ce in the same four-star hotel. As the guests chatted quietly, they couldn’t help but


    notice the mayor’s reluctance to invest more in making the event more extravagant.


    “Do you guys have any idea? He just got promoted. He has to appear modest,” someone whispered.


    “But whether it’s the Chriss family or the Pattons, they surely deserve more than a four-star hotel. After


    all, the mayor’s son-inw is in business!” Another guest chimed in.


    “Absolutely. Considering their connections with the four influential families, they could have gone all


    out,” a third guest added.


    “Could it be that they have ulterior motives for choosing this hotel?” someone wondered aloud.


    Unbeknownst to them, Bianca had been lurking and eavesdropping. She dismissed any suspicions


    about hidden intentions but felt relieved as long as nobody was pointing fingers at her.


    Onstage, Harold stood tall and waved to the audience with a genuine smile. The music stopped, and all


    eyes were on him. Despite his age, his robust health, impable posture, and resonant voice exuded


    remarkable charisma.

    “First and foremost, I extend my warm wee to this gathering,” Harold began. “Each one of you


    deserves credit for our campaign’s sess. I won’t let you down, nor will I disappoint the citizens of


    Centrolis. I’mmitted to leading us toward a brighter future!”


    Apuse erupted from below the stage, and the guests raised their sses in a show of respect.


    “Furthermore, I know you all care deeply for my granddaughter, N.”


    As soon as he mentioned N, she rushed onstage to envelop her grandfather in a warm hug. He


    affectionately patted her head, disying a loving smile.


    Whispers rippled through the audience as they learned about N’s recent kidnapping and fortunate


    recovery. Meanwhile, Alexander received the credit for their good fortune.


    Alexander gazed at Bianca with a tender smile in a quiet corner.


    “While it’s true that the mastermind behind N’s kidnapping was evil, we were fortunate to have a


    kind-hearted savior step in. Moreover, I’ve already identified the culprit!”


    Harold’s gaze shifted toward Lena the moment he made this announcement.


    Bianca’s heart raced with excitement. Harold was suspicious of Lena! Her cunning scheme had indeed


    worked, sessfully pinning the me on Lena!


    “That’s right.” Bianca’s voice was soft but audible to those around her. “Like mother, like daughter. This


    saying holds true! A child of a criminal is bound to follow in their parent’s footsteps!”


    “What are you saying, Bianca?” Arya suddenly appeared behind her. “If you have something to say,


    step onto the stage and speak up. Or else, no one can hear you!”


    “You…” Bianca gnashed her teeth, her frustration evident.


    “Oh, by the way, I suppose your ssmates are unaware that you secured your academic credits by


    bribing your way through an overseas school, right?” Arya shot back, unfazed.


    Bianca’s re could have cut through steel.


    Arya’s revtion spread like wildfire, ensuring everyone was well aware of her past.


    “What’s your issue?” Bianca grumbled, her teeth still clenched. “Mr. Patton is addressing the crowd,


    and you’re here causing a scene. Do you need us to build you a stage?”


    Arya stared into her eyes and asked, “Bianca, are you upset?”


    Speechless and bewildered by Arya’s unexpectedments, Bianca could only roll her eyes in


    response.
