Chapter 999
All of them were dressed up in exquisite suits and gowns.
There were towers of pastry, champagne, and wine at each corner of the hall.
What was more striking was the white neenyer cake in the middle of the banquet hall. Each
layer of the cake was decorated with beautiful white swans. The enormous cake was incredibly
magnificent.
The party was just like the king''s feast described in the fairy tales.
It took X Quest quite some time to find Wilson Batton and Sharon Lindt among the crowd.
Josh Batton was standing right behind them. They were busy toasting and chatting with the guests.
Josh and Wilson were much quieterpared to Sharon Lindt, who had been talking non-stop.
Sharon told X before that Josh would be the host for the party tonight.
Maybe time stopped when X and Stanley entered the hall. Everyone was frozen to their spots,
their lips parted, and their eyes fixed upon them.
They subconsciously moved sideways and formed a path for the pair.
The path led the two straight to the stage decorated with flowers.
X was already used to events like this.
She calmly walked to the stage with Stanley Batton and came to a halt in front of the podium.
After that, Stanley gave a long speech about Dragon Group’s history, its development over the past
seventy years, and his vision for the future.
He did not prepare any script for the speech today. Nevertheless, he remained as calm as ever. He
had not stuttered even once, and all the terms he used were formal and professional.
His impressive leadership skills were evident to everyone.
After the long opening speech, Stanley and X rose their ss of wine high in the air and cheered
with the crowd.
Subsequently, Josh, the host of the day, went on the stage and joined the two. He was wearing a
set of white suits, looking neat and gentlemanly.
The two brothers provided a startling contrast as they stood together. One of them was cold and
apathetic, while the other was warm and friendly.
Though their temperaments werepletely different, they somehowplement each other.
Josh brought the microphone to his mouth. “Next, let’s wee the heir of Dragon Group, my
brother Stanley Batton, and my sister-inw X Quest to dance for us. Give them a round of
apuse!”

The audience burst into wild apuse and cheers at once.
Stanley held X’s hand and led her to the middle of the hall.
Grasping the situation, the Philharmonic Orchestra immediately yed melodious music for the two.
Without hesitation, Stanley grabbed X’s waist and pulled her closer to him. The two then
performed a waltz dance to the audience.
All the lights in the hall went off, except the one right above the lovebirds.
The warm yellow light shone brightly on them, causing them to look exceptionally dazzling in the ill-
lit hall.
All the guests immediately gathered around them and formed a big circle.
The two of them continued to dance gracefully in the circle.
They could not take their eyes off each other as they danced. The way they looked at each other
made everyone envious.
“Ahhhh!!! Are they a prince and a princess?”
“I can’t take this. What a perfect match they are!”
“Ahhhhh!!! They’re so sweet! I’m suffocating!”
Wilson, Sharon, and Josh were standing in front of the crowd, watching the pair dancing in delight.
They could not hide their smiles as they heard the crowd’spliments. This was especially true for
Sharon, who was secretly giggling all the time.
On the contrary, Josh’s smile soon faded away. Disappointment and a sense of loss shed in his
eyes.
However, they were all gone in the very next second, so no one in the hall had noticed them.
After the dance, Stanley held X’s hand and bowed toward the crowd politely.
Once X raised her head, a familiar figure came into view. She stared at the girl in shock. “It’s
you…”
