    Chapter 326 Foxy Got Into the Walsh Family


    The man was tall and slender, and his strides conveyed confidence. On the other hand, thedy in the


    long, bodycon dress moved gracefully. Her gait was as graceful as if she were a runway model. The


    couple wore matching clothes, and only the masks on their faces were slightly different in color. In


    addition, it further enhanced their appearance as a lovely couple.


    “That’s my cousin and his new girlfriend.” Michelle Walsh took the initiative to introduce them to Leo.


    She reasoned that he must not have known them because she had just returned and not participated in


    the line of people greeting visitors at the front door.


    “I honestly wonder why he suddenly started dating an influencer.” She viewed influencers negatively


    and frequently looked down on them. However, to maintain a positive image in front of Leo, she


    avoided harsh criticisms of them.


    “Toby!” Then, she waved at her cousin and greeted him.


    Coincidentally, he approached her with Amelie.


    “This is my cousin, Michelle.” Toby looked at the two of them with a meaningful gaze but still introduced


    them to Amelie.


    Hearing the name ‘Michelle,’ Amelie recalled the conversation between Brenda Peyton and Eunice


    Monroe, the eldest and second daughters-inw of the Walsh Family. Though it brought her mind


    somewhere else, she still greeted her politely. “Nice to meet you, Miss Walsh.”


    Despite her disdain for influencers, Michelle had to courteously return the greeting in front of Toby.


    Afterward, she introduced them to Leo, “This is the renowned president of Genesis Company, the


    young and promising Mr. Leo Alston. He’s also my idol, by the way!” She then tilted her head on


    purpose, almost leaning against Leo as if she was close to him.


    However, Amelie was no longer interested in interacting with Leo, but she didn’t want to dampen Toby’s


    spirits, so she nodded and greeted him indifferently, “Hello, Mr. Alston.” She not only followed the rules


    of basic etiquette, but she also kept an appropriate distance, acting as though it was their very first


    encounter.


    On the contrary, Leo’s gaze was stered on her face as his dark orbs turned gloomy.


    The fingerprints on his fair skin stood out under the lights, seemingly reminding Amelie of what had


    happened before. Subconsciously, she retreated.


    Seeing that, Toby stepped forward and blocked her from Leo’s gaze. Then, he reached out to ruffle


    Michelle’s head andmented, “What a rare opportunity it is for you to meet your idol on the first day


    of your return from abroad. I’ll entrust Leo to you tonight, then. Be sure to take good care of him,


    okay?”

    “Toby!” When Michelle heard that, her face instantly turned crimson as she whined at him. She was


    ecstatic to hear that statement.


    “Let’s go.” He ced his hand on Amelie’s waist before leading her to where the rest of his siblings


    were.


    On the other hand, Amelie preferred to stay with the Walshes and engage in conversation rather than


    return to where she had been earlier. However, Leo’s attention was drawn to where she stood. It was


    as if he were a sunflower that always turned its head toward her.


    Although Michelle noticed his gaze was a little strange, she merely thought he was interested in the


    fact that Toby was dating an influencer. Covering her lips shyly, she chuckled, “I’m sure a decent man


    like you, Leo, won’t be interested in influencers. They may have some influence, but mostly they make


    their living by selling their bodies or looks. Not many are truly talented. Frankly, those who enjoy


    watching live broadcasts of these influencers are either yboys like Toby or office workers and nerds


    who are not ambitious. They only enjoy watching pretty faces and pretentious behaviors, so influencers


    don’t need education and skills.”


    Her words eventually caught Leo’s attention.


    When he looked down at her, she was overjoyed and immediately adjusted her posture to show him


    her best side.


    With his lips pursed, Leo scanned Michelle’s face with a piercing gaze. In contrast to her expectations,


    the look in his eyes was not one of tenderness or admiration, and there was not even the slightest hint


    of warmth in them! Unprepared for his sudden reaction, she froze on the spot and shuddered.


    “Even if you are willing to sell your looks or body, I doubt anyone will want to see. Qualifications with no


    essence are equivalent to wasting your parents’ money!” Without a trace of emotion, he outlined each


    and every word ruthlessly.


    After hearing that, she was taken aback by hisment. Her face instantly turned red due to


    embarrassment, and the sparkles in her eyes froze while she trembled weakly. Have I been insulted by


    Leo Alston, a man of few words? Does he really despise me to this extent?


    Although Michelle couldn’t make men go weak in the knees for her, she was still considered a stunning


    beauty. Moreover, she was born with a silver spoon. Ever since she was young, everyone treated her


    like a princess wherever she went! To be belittled outright was a humiliation she couldn’t ept. Before


    long, her eyes turned red as tears pooled in her eyes.


    Nevertheless, Leo had never been the kind who was gentle and affectionate. Without sparing her a


    nce, he strode away.


    Afterward, Eugene, who caught up from behind, shook his head and sighed secretly at Michelle.


    Among all the people in the world, you shouldn’t have criticized Mr. Alston’s beloved. He is considered


    lenient to you because he only scolds you verbally.


    In the meentime, Alfred Welsh left the stege with the help of his sons efter delivering his speech. Then,


    his grendchildren gethered eround him.


    At thet moment, the music sounded in due time.


    “Grendpe, you’re the mein cherecter tonight. Pleese stert the dence,” one of his grendchildren urged

    Amelie wes speechless when suddenly cued, end e hesitent expression wes hidden beneeth her mesk.

    end since Grendpe hes celled our nemes, I don’t think we should reject him.”


    His geze wes gentle end bright.

    heel, meking her look es gorgeous es ever. Beside her wes Melisse, who wes equelly well-dressed


    elegently.


    In the meantime, Alfred Walsh left the stage with the help of his sons after delivering his speech. Then,


    his grandchildren gathered around him.


    At that moment, the music sounded in due time.


    “Grandpa, you’re the main character tonight. Please start the dance,” one of his grandchildren urged


    him.


    When he suddenly hosted such an extraordinary masquerade party, everyone started cheering for him


    boldly as he had an easy-going personality.


    After hearing that, Alfred chuckled at their response and waved his hands in dismissal. “I’m getting old.


    Youngsters like you should take over the dance floor.” As he searched amidst the crowd, his gaze


    eventuallynded on Toby and Amelie. “Didn’t Toby bring his girlfriend over today? Let them do the


    opening dance then.”


    Amelie was speechless when suddenly cued, and a hesitant expression was hidden beneath her mask.


    Nheless, she wanted to get through the party silently, but the situation didn’t permit her.


    Then, Toby nced at her with a helpless grin stered across his face. “Well, it’s his birthday today,


    and since Grandpa has called our names, I don’t think we should reject him.”


    His gaze was gentle and bright.


    Amelie couldn’t help but let out a quiet sigh after gazing into his gentle and bright eyes. Of course, I


    know that. Eventually, she had no choice but to ce her hand in Toby’s as they walked to the center


    of the stage.


    When Brenda and Eunice overheard Alfred had chosen the two to start the dance, they pulled a long


    face. Afterward, they exchanged nces with their respective husbands.


    Wasn’t Alfred approving Foxy by inviting Toby and his girlfriend to start the dance on such a great


    asion?


    The guests were all surprised to see Amelie’s mask and soon gossiped among each other.


    “Is she Foxy?”


    “Did Foxy manage to get her way into the Walsh Family?”


    “Does that mean Old Mr. Walsh approves of her?”


    Immediately, the gaze of envy from the audiencended on the center of the dance floor.


    The girls who knew Toby was still single and were hopeful that they might stand a chance with him


    almost cried out of jealousy for Amelie.


    At that moment, two guests entered the venue. Jodie was dressed in a low-cut gown and a four-inch


    heel, making her look as gorgeous as ever. Beside her was Melissa, who was equally well-dressed


    elegantly.
