Chapter 511


    However, Linus stayed silent the whole time. All of a sudden, the music ying around the banquet hall


    changed. With a microphone in hand, Joe excitedly walked to the middle of the stage and his loud voice


    was filled with extreme joy as he yelled, “Ladies and gentlemen, wee to the Edwards family reunion


    banquet!”


    At that moment, Joe wanted the banquet to end perfectly. As for Sophia’s fraud, he decided he would get


    revenge sooner orter. Then, he began a touching speech about how much he loved his daughter and


    told the story of how his daughter was separated from him and how he found her.


    Joe even announced that he specially hosted this grand reunion banquet for his initially lost but now


    reunited daughter to let everyone know that he, Joe Edwards, had another daughter!


    “And now, let me formally introduce my daughter—Sophia Edwards!”


    The guests immediately looked up and saw a youngdy slowly descending the marble staircase step


    by step from the second floor. She wore a white dress with blue diamonds, revealing her fair and


    slender arms. The dress exposed arge area of her front and her fair skin matched the blue


    diamonds.


    The fitted dress hugged her skin and they could see glimpses of her skin beneath, the slightly see-


    through dress making her look extremely seductive. Her hand was ced gently on the railing and the


    white gloves on her hands covered her hands gracefully. Sophia put on a perfect and elegant smile as


    she slowly entered their sight and the entire hall went silent for a while.


    Everyone nced at Joe before they turned to look at Sophia again. Which beautiful woman did Joe


    sleep with to be able to have such a gorgeous daughter?


    Joe took two steps forward and held Sophia’s hand. Sophia obediently twirled, the hem of her dress


    rising slightly, making it look like a blossoming flower. Many people were starstruck by her beauty.


    Hearing the sound of the peaceful background music, many people started to feel restless.


    Natasha waited for a long time but she didn’t see Xe out to expose Sophia’s disgusting truth.


    Seeing that the dance was about to start, she decided she would lose her chance if they didn’t expose


    her now. However, Natasha couldn’t get a hold of X at all. With Linus next to her, she would never


    embarrass herself to expose Sophia. That b*tch…

    The dance officially started as Joe left the stage and elegant music started ying. Today, Sophia would


    perform the first dance. She danced gracefully and every move her flexible body made was extremely


    beautiful. Many men at the banquet were vying to take the first dance with Sophia and all of them


    volunteered.


    Unfortunately for them, the beautiful dancing figure slid by in front of their eyes without the slightest


    hesitation. Countless pairs of eyes filled with strong desire focused on the beautiful figure.


    Meanwhile, Stanley passionately volunteered. When he saw that Sophia had begun choosing a dance


    partner, he hurriedly whispered, “Me! Pick me!” However, Sophia never considered him because she


    knew that if she danced with Stanley, both of them would be badly beaten up.


    “Sophie.”


    Sophia saw ude in the crowd. ude is here too? Unfortunately, she couldn’t choose ude either. If


    she chose ude, her punishment wouldn’t be as simple as getting a beating.


    There were many people she was close with who attended the banquet. Not long after, she locked gazes


    with Quinton and he bowed slightly at her. In the end, Sophia walked toward Sean.


    All along, she had treated Sean as her gay best friend and Michael knew that they were biological


    siblings so he wouldn’t be upset. Furthermore, it was Sean who taught her how to dance so it wouldn’t


    be awkward to dance with him.


    She reached out her hand toward Sean and he smiled as he reached out to grab her hand. As their


    hands were about to touch… All of a sudden, a strong,rge hand grabbed Sophia and squeezed her


    hand tightly. Then, Sophia felt dizzy as the man twirled her around on the dance floor, his arm around her


    waist.


    Sophia’s beautiful white dress twirled to the rhythm of the music as the both of them waltzed


    passionately. Their graceful steps managed to lead the first wave of cheers of the banquet. Sophia


    twirled so much that her head was dizzy. It was only after sheposed herself did she take a good look


    at her dancing partner. It was none other than Joel!


    “G-General?” She was so shocked that she identally stepped on Joel’s feet.


    Joel held her hand with one hand and ced the other on her waist. They continued to dance as he


    whispered, “Dance seriously.”


    The first dance of the banquet was important for Sophia. Countless people were watching them and


    some probably even noticed when she stepped on Joel’s feet just now. After hearing his warning, she


    quickly regained focus and danced seriously.


    Sophia had a feeling that her hand that was held by Joel was burning hot, and the heat of his other big


    palm that was ced on her waist seeped through her thin dress and burned her skin. However, for


    some reason, she felt her bottom hurting.


    The first dance had started and the atmosphere was getting lively. With that, the other guests each


    looked for a dance partner and started dancing as well.


    Stanley wasn’t willing to give up and he kept circling Sophia, waiting for the chance to dance with her. As


    for Natasha, she was prepared to ask Linus for a dance. However, when she got close to him, Linus was


    pulled away by Faye. After all, at an asion like this, women could reject men but men couldn’t reject


    women.


    As the guests danced joyously, Sophia’s white dress was still the most dazzling in the court. After the first


    dance ended, the upbeat rhythm of the music slowed down.


    Joel seemed to be exhausted from the dancing as he panted heavily. Then, he lowered his head and


    gently rested his forehead on Sophia’s, the two of them facing each other and their lips only a few


    centimeters apart.


    His heavy breath brushed Sophia’s face and it smelled like the peculiar breath of a man mixed with the


    aroma from the cocktail. Sophia instantly blushed and it was as if there were butterflies in her stomach.


    Joel’s hand that was ced on her waist suddenly wrapped around her slender waist and he pulled her


    toward him, causing her to fall into his arms.


    “General—” Sophia’s voice was trembling. This is not supposed to happen!


    Joel’s breath fanned across her cheeks and it passed through her lips; it was as if Joel was admiring her


    beauty from a close distance. “Call me… Joel.”


    Sophia naturally didn’t have the courage to call him by his name, so she silently tried to take a few steps


    back. However, Joel held her close, his grip tight. She quickly turned to nced at the people


    surrounding her and looked at Sean, who was closest to her.


    Meanwhile, Sean had been watching the two of them all along. When Joel suddenly appeared and


    robbed his role of being Sophia’s first dance’s dance partner, he already had a feeling that there was


    something wrong with Joel, which was why he hurriedly dragged his dance partner to dance near them.


    Just when Sophia turned her head to the side to seek help, she felt a strange touch. Something warm


    and smelled like alcohol had touched the corner of her lips. She was instantly startled and tried her best


    to free herself from Joel.


    “Can you please not reject me?”


    Joel sounded a little drunk when he said that. She looked up at him and saw that he couldn’t focus his


    gaze. At that moment, she panicked and murmured, “General, you’re drunk.” As she spoke, her warm


    breath fell on Joel’s nose and it smelled nice, causing his heart to beat faster and faster…
