    Chapter 1449


    The room dimmed as Ste, Wenham, and Trevor settled into their seats after descending from the


    stage. Soon, the soft sound of orchestral music filled the air. Suddenly, the stage lit up, and the


    backdrop changed. A deep, resonant voice filled the room, and a troupe of performers entered in a


    precise formation. With the progression of the music, the opera unfolded.


    Cordelia immediately lifted her head upon recognizing the familiar tune. Once she spotted the


    performers on stage, she excitedly grabbed Keegan and said. “That’s Lancelot Lewie! That’s Lancelot


    Lewie! How is he here? You never mentioned he would be performing!”


    Keegan gently removed his grandmother’s hand from his arm and said, “I can’t believe you’re fawning


    over celebrities like a teenager at your old age, Grandma.”


    Cordelia’s eyelid twitched. “You little scoundrel. Who are you calling old?” She said. She would have hit


    him if they were not in public.


    Cordelia was there to witness the official announcement of Ste being weed into the Saun family.


    She did not expect the delightful surprise of seeing her favorite opera performer singing on stage. It


    could not have made her happier.


    “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If I’d known Lancelot would be here, I would have dressed up more,”


    Cordelia


    “He’s literally younger than dad. He probably wouldn’t care about what an old fan like you is wearing,”


    Keegan remarked, referring to Cordelia’s age.N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    Cordelia could not help but kick him under the chair. Keegan wisely held his tongue after that. ‘Some


    things are better left unsaid.’


    Keegan had no prior knowledge of Lancelot’s performance. Upon reflection, it was most likely arranged


    by Olivia.


    The other attendees were equally surprised and delighted. Lancelot had a sizable following within their


    circle.


    However, after he announced he would no longer perform publicly, getting him to sing again was no


    easy feat, regardless of the marypensation.


    Thest time anyone heard him sing was at Cordelia’s birthday banquet six months ago. It was an


    unexpected pleasure to catch his performance at the Saun family’s event.


    “Even though this hotel is rather ordinary, the Sauns did invite an incredible performer. It’s evident


    they’ve put thought into it.”


    “Right? Especially when even money can’t guarantee Lancelot’s presence.”


    “After taking a closer look, it seems like they’ve spent quite a bit for this event despite the venue. Those


    preserved flowers and the connections required to invite Lancelot don’te cheap.”


    “Didn’t you hear them just now? They chose this hotel not to save money but to support a friend’s


    business.”


    “Damn it. If I’d known Ste was a part of the Saun family, I would’ve befriended her long ago. Maybe


    she’d lead me to greater heights.”


    Lancelot concluded his performance by grabbing the microphone and delivering his congrattory


    remarks.


    Wenham was overjoyed and ensured each performer on stage received a bonus for their act.


    As the performers left the stage, the banquet hall doors suddenly swung open. An elderly man led a


    few younger individuals into the room while pushing a small food cart.


    All eyes were now on this unexpected arrival.


    ‘Hadn’t they served all the dishes already? What is this about?’ The guests thought.


    The elderly man was dressed in a suit, radiating an aura of dignified authority. With his prominent


    brows and expressive eyes, hemanded respect.
