Chapter 1495


    Adeline couldn''t help but think about tonight''s banquet. At that moment, she could finally understand


    why her father and grandfather would try so hard to invite Matthew to the dinner.


    If the Thatcher Family had failed in their attempt, then her father might be sitting here and waiting like


    the other heads of the families.


    For now, the Thatcher Family was guaranteed a position among the Ten Greatest Families of


    Eastshire. In other words, there would only be two vacancies left in the Ten Greatest Families to fight


    for. Thepetition among the families who presented tonight would be intense.


    Adeline couldn''t guarantee the Thatcher Family could stand out among the families if they were one of


    thepetitors. She sighed as the more she understood Matthew''s capability, the more she regretted


    it.


    Other than her, there were several young people in the hall too. None of them was a pushover if they


    could make it today. Each of them was known as a wealthy, good-for-nothing kid in Eastshire.


    Even though Adeline was born into the Thatcher Family, there was a vast difference between her and


    the others.

    One of them was an extremely handsome young man who caught everyone''s attention. He was Lucien


    Stone, a sessor to the Stone Family, one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire.


    The Stone Family was consistently ranked in the top three among the Ten Greatest Families of


    Eastshire. As for Lucien, not only was he handsome, he was also capable. Thus, he was considered


    the most outstanding individual among the rich kids of Eastshire.


    Many young women from the wealthy families of Eastshire had a crush on him, including Adeline. s,


    he had too many admirers, and she was rtively mediocre among them.


    For her, it was usually hard to see him in person, let alone pursue him. Still, Adeline''s heart fluttered as


    she was happy to see him on this asion.


    Therefore, she seized the opportunity to take a look at her surroundings. The girls who were always


    following behind him were nowhere to be seen. At that, she began to think of a n to make his


    acquaintance.


    Regardless, just as Adeline was


    thinking hard about a way to greet him, Lucien turned to where she was standing all of a sudden, and


    she could see a bright smile blossoming on his handsome face. Even though she knew he was


    handsome, he was even more attractive when he smiled.


    The unexpected smile caught her off guard as she could only stand there with a nk mind.


    At that moment, Lucien headed straight in her direction. Her heart was pounding as if she could hear it


    thumping against her chest while her body shivered uncontrobly in excitement. Why is he walking


    toward here? Why is he smiling at me? Does he have feelings for me?


    Adeline was so excited to see him that she had simply forgotten her ns. Instead, all she could see


    and think about was Lucien.


    Soon enough, he was right before her. As she was excited to see him, she stared at him affectionately


    and with a sultry look in her eyes.


    Nevertheless, he only walked past her without giving her another look, as if she wasn’t there.


    She was surprised. What happened? Isn’t he here to talk to me?


    As thoughts ran through her mind, she turned around and saw him stopping before Lynn.


    He had a gentle smile as he warmly addressed the woman, "Miss Lynn, you''re here."


    "Mr. Larson ordered us to take you to the private room once you''re here.


    So, I''ll take you to him."


    Lucien smiled as he held Lynn''s wrist and led her to the private room.


    Atst, Maeve and Adeline were the ones left in the hall. Co?tent of Dr?manovеls


    What just happened? Adeline couldn''t stop reying the scene in her mind.
