    Chapter 396


    “Who is that woman!” <b>someone </b>eximed.


    “I don’t know. I’ve never seen her”


    “Her looks… her bearing! You can tell with one look that she’s extraordinary”


    “Anyone who can hold ke Andrew’s arm on such an asion can not be ordinary<b>, </b>Look, even ke’s other descendants <b>don’t </b>have this honor.”


    Only then did everyone see ke’s children walking down behind the trio with their respective children,


    “Don’t you think this looks like an engagement banquet for those two?” someone couldn’t help asking.


    To be honest, Alfred and <b>this </bdy’s outfits are simply gorgeous enough <b>for </b>their wedding, let alone their engagement.” N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    “It must be an engagement banquet. Otherwise, why would the Andrews family hold such a grand banquet for the old man’s birthday! So it’s the heir’s big <b>day</b>.


    “No wonder he took so long. So he’s dealing with this matter.”


    That’s right. The old <b>man </b>and his family members arrived at the hotel earlier apparently. Heard <b>that </b>they were <b>upstairs </b>apanying this <bdy</b>”


    Is it really Alfred and thisdy’s engagement banquet? I’m looking forward to it


    “Most likely it is. Just wait for the old man to announce.it.”


    “My


    y heart is beating so fast that <b>I’m </b>suffocating


    The hushed voices reverberated in the hall.


    Heated discussions <b>had </b>already spread throughout the banquet hall. Everyone was certain of one thing. Tonight <b>was </b>ke’s birthday banquet and also Alfred’s engagement banquet with thisdy.


    The answer was already obvious. Everyone was waiting for ke and the person involved to announce


    On the red–carpeted stairs, ke, Alfred, and the mystery woman descended slowly, followed by ke’s descendants. Every step they took <b>caused </b>the hearts of the guests to thump <b>wildly </b><b>as </b><b>they </b>held their breaths.


    “Look, isn’t that the woman Alfred acknowledged online as his girlfriend a while <b>ago</b>? Her name’s Lea Berry, isn’t <b>it</b><b>? </b>


    “That’s right. It’s her!”


    Lea was too eye–catching. Soon, some guests caught sight of her. <b>Now </b>that someone had recognized her, almost everyone’s eyes were on her.


    When the guests


    s in the middle of the hall saw her, they moved to the side to make way for her.


    Lea stood at the end of the <b>aisle </b><b>and </b>looked at the three peopleing downstairs about 300 feet away from her.


    It <b>was </b><b>as </b>if time came to s standstill. Lea and the three people opposite her becune imunonalized as the subjects in some Renaissance painting.


    All around her,


    r, the juxtaposition of dim light and the strong spotlight on the stairs created a perfect chiaroscuro.


    However, the atmosphere felt exceptionally heavy.


    The dim lights and the resplendent, luxurious hall faded into the background to merge with <b>Lea’s </b>gown like <b>skillful </b><b>sfumato</b>. <b>Parts </b>of her gown that were still in the light sparkled brightly, adding to an air of mystery, beauty, and power.


    Thissted und a figure walked to <b>Lea’s </b>side and broke the spell Time flowed again as noise <b>and </b>bustling activity returned <b>to </b>the surroundings.


    “Let’s po. I’ll send you luck<b>. </b>There’s no need to stay here and be humiliated,” Milion Andrews said as he extended his <b>hand </b>to Lea. His voice was filled with protective heartache.


    At this moment, everything had be clear.


    The Andrews family <b>invited </b><b>all </b>of Everton’s first–ss aristocratic families and even sonte second–ss families<b>, </b><b>as </b>well <b>as </b>all of Lea’s rtives and friends in order to humiliate her and destroy her so that she would not be able to live in Iverton.


    Lea had been earmarked by the Andrews family for clumination. No one in Everton would work with her anymore. In fact, in onder to express goodwill to the Andrews famuly<b>, </b>these people would do anything to deal with her.


    ke’s move was in destroy Lea, as well <b>as </b>the people who cared about her and those whom she cared about.

    Previously, she was not aware. Now that she had seen it, she should give up. There was no room for her here anymore.


    He extended his hand closer


    Milion’s gaze was fixed on the people on the stairs. “Lea, <b>that’s </b>the wife my grandfather had chosen for Alfred” |


    Yet, Lea acted as if she could not see Milton. She lifted her dress and brushed past him. After arriving in the middle of the red carpet aisle, she raised her head to look at Alfred.


    <b>her </b>


    Alfred seemed to be <b>looking </b><b>at </b>Lea and everyone else at the <b>same </b>time. It was impossible to tell if he was happy or angry from his handsome face <b>His </b>deep, profound eyes were unfathomable.


    Lea’s gaze <b>was </b>calm, and there was a faint smile on her face even as the mockery and insults around her poured forth.


    “It is said that public disys of affection die quickly, but isn’t this too fast just like perishing upon exposure under the sun!”


    “It was so touching that I wanted to believe in love again. I thought there was truly a prince who would fall in love with Cindere. So the <b>whole </b>thing is a farce”


    “What academic genius? She’s just a clown.


    “If she had any self–awareness, she wouldn’t be here. How dare she dream <b>of </b>hooking up with someone she’s unworthy of


    ‘Indeed…


    Even the older guests could not helpmenting


    “Isn’tmon for young ones to go through a few breakups? Yet the Andrews family is being so heavy<b>–</b><b>handed </b>with a young girl”


    “That’s right. I’ve long heard that the elders of the Andrews family did not approve of their rtionship, especially <b>ke </b>Andrews. I didn’t expe


    expect him to be so ruthless. He’s trying to expel Miss Berry and her family.


    “I heard <b>that </b>the elder Andrews and the elder Berry we


    were sworn friends”


    “It’s been years since ke Andrews treated anyone like this<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    ke <b>was </b>famous in the circle for being a ruthless character in his younger days. Now, he was old <b>and </b>lived in seclusion. Generations changed, <b>and </b>people thought that he had turned into a charitable old man.


    “Well, that youngdy doesn’t know her ce. She dared to <b>bring </b>up the matter of their vastly different <b>family </b>backgrounds and even <b>made </b>such a big deal that everyone knows about it”
