    Chapter 193 The Mysterious Man at the Banquet


    Yvette held udia’s hand and whispered, “Thank you. If it weren’t for you today, I don’t know how it


    would have ended.”


    She knew that udia wanted to divert her attention by inviting her to the party.


    “Don’t worry, I wasn’t that fragile,” Yvette smiled, “Thank you for. helping me teach Spencer a lesson, it


    was satisfying!”


    “It’s satisfying. He’s probably going to trend on the trending topic list soon. I have already reserved the


    top three spots for him.” Money is the


    east of her worries now. In just a short while, she has already


    contacted the media and secured the positions, just


    news to be released:

    udia smiled and patted her hand, “Why don’t youe to my ce? You’ll need a nice outfit for the


    evening party, and I have plenty of clothes for you to choose from.”


    After a while, Yvette and she arrived at the Friedan’s manor.


    At first, Yvette was a little shy, but thinking that she couldn’t embarrass her friend, she lifted her head


    and walked in with confidence.


    ***


    At the yton’s manor, Arlene stood by Hugh, who was dressed in a sharp suit, wearing an exquisite


    haute couture gown. Her aristocratic demeanor shone through, causing everyone from the yton


    family to involuntarily nce at her a few times.


    Although today was her engagement banquet with Hugh, half of the people who came were sincere,


    while the other half were just there to


    watch the show.


    Although she was just a country-born illegitimate daughter, she now appeared as the face of theMaterial ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    yton Group. Rosalie, once the most favored member of the yton family, was nowhere to be


    found.


    “Ms. Arlene, you looked so beautiful today!”


    “Yeah, Ms. Arlene, I didn’t expect you to have such a great figure and demeanor. You surpass Ms.


    Rosalie from before.”.


    In the face of these people’s praises, Arlene just smiled and thanked them, neither arrogant nor


    impatient, making it impossible to find any fault in her manners.


    This illegitimate daughter from the countryside turned out to be even better in manners and etiquette


    than Rosalie was before.


    When they thought about today’s male lead being Hugh again, these people couldn’t help but feel a


    little more sympathy toward Arlene. The previous scandal between Rosalie and Hugh had caused quite


    a stir, and they never expected Arlene to take over in the end.


    “Congrattions, sister, on gaining a son-inw,” a grating voice interrupted, instantly silencing the


    room.


    Rosalie walked toward her with a masked man, wearing a ck strapless dress and a pure white mink


    shawl. Her once innocent face was now heavily made up in a bold and seductive Hong Kong style.


    Rosalie wore a pair of 10-centimeter high stiletto heels and walked toward her with a firm “click, click”


    sound.


    “Sister,” Arlene’s face lit up with a hint of surprise, “Dad said you wouldn’te, he didn’t even save a


    seat for you. I said you would


    10 44%


    definitelye, and here you are, you really came.”


    Without leaving any trace of her whereabouts, Rosalie’s face turned pale and then green.


    This clearly tells others that Rosalie had already been abandoned by Dempsey!


    You scoundrel!


    Rosalie took a deep breath and smiled, “Don’t talk nonsense, how could I not be here on such a


    beautiful day.”


    After saying this, she nced up and down at Hugh, smiling with a knowing look.


    Hugh felt ufortable under her gaze.


    “Sister, pleasee inside and have a seat,” Hugh forced a smile.


    Rosalie’s face stiffened.


    Hugh called her “big sister” even though he was older than her, making her feel old. However, he was


    engaged to Arlene, so calling her “big sister” didn’t pose any etiquette issues.


    Rosalie felt a surge of pressure in her chest.


    “Sister, this is…” Arlene seemed to have just noticed the man beside her.


    Thinking about the identity of the man beside her, which was about to be revealed, Rosalie tightly held


    the man’s arm and proudly said, “My boyfriend, no… my fiancé.”


    “Fiancé…” Arlene looked at the masked man in surprise.


    The man wore a feather mask, with only a pair of eyes exposed, his entire face hidden beneath the


    mask.


    She didn’t recognize it and didn’t take Rosalie’s words seriously.


    Any man could be considered a fiancé, but only Rosalie could pull it off


    Arlene felt disdain in her heart, but she didn’t show a trace on her face: “I didn’t expect him to be so


    mysterious…”


    “I know you’re curious about his appearance, but don’t worry, in just a few days, his presence will


    surely shock the entire city, no, shock


    Adron.” The pride in Rosalie’s eyes couldn’t be hidden when she thought about her man soon


    bing one of the most prominent men in Wyvernport.


    “I’m really looking forward to it,” Arlene smiled and nced at the masked man, chuckling inwardly.


    This person concealed their appearance, either being ugly or havingmitted a crime, there were


    only these two possibilities.


    Edmond was dead, and udia, it was said, had made all necessary preparations. She refused to


    believe that Rosalie, who was at her wit’s end, could turn her life around relying on anyone else.


    Rosalie walked into the house, holding onto the man.


    Watching their backs, Hugh’s eyes revealed a hint of coldness.


    He found a new love so quickly, which indicates that he was just a spare tire for Rosalie in the first


    ce, and not even a proper spare tire.


    A hand quietly slipped into his palm and gently squeezed his palm. Arlene’s gentle face leaned in,


    saying, “Don’t be sad, it’s all in the past.”

    Arlene’s words flowed into his heart like a warm current.


    “Ms. Lloyd will alsoe today, Hugh, do you remember what I told you? To err is human, and if Ms.


    Lloyd asks you to testify, you should go.”


    Hugh shivered all over, instinctively preparing to pull his hand back, but she held it tightly.


    Hugh stared at Arlene, remaining silent for a long time.


    Last night, he confessed everything to Arlene. Not only did Arlene not me him or despise him, but


    she also said she would apany him to face it together, as long as he was willing to admit his


    mistakes and stop hiding things for Rosalie. There was still time for everything.


    “Ms. Lloyd!” Arlene’s surprised voice rang out, instantly pulling him back from his thoughts.


    Hugh looked up suddenly as udia gracefully walked toward him.


    C


    She was wearing a beautiful beige evening gown, with a knitted cardigan on top. She had an elegant


    temperament, and a fluffy scarf tied around her neck, which made her look even more noble.


    While he was sizing up udia, udia was also looking at him.


    “Long time no see.”


    udia smiled gently at him, her voice flowing like pure water, washing away the dirt deep within his


    heart.
