Chapter 78


    Scarlett saw thro


    nce.


    He had organized a banquet specifically for Dev, likely to introduce him to has sister


    He had not anticipated that Dey would bring a femalepanion, so he was bound to have some


    objections to her


    However, Everan still showed her due respect, so she had no choice but to y along


    She shook Everan’s hand back and smiled, saving. “Hello”


    “It’s been ages since west saw each other. Let’s grab a drink and chat about old times”


    Dey was a bit concerned about Scarlett and her. “Would you like toe with me?


    Scarlett nced at Everan, whose eyes were brimming with reluctance, and politely declined. Tm a bit


    peckish. Let’s grab a


    bite to eat first”


    Before Dex could utter a word. Everan halted a servant Take Miss Sales to get something to eat. Don’t


    forget about her” The servant urgently implored Scarlett Miss Sales, please follow me


    With this arrangement, Dey could no longer refuse his good friend, so he and to Scarlett, “Stay put. I’ll


    be back soon.” Scarlett was expressionless as she nodded and, guided by the servant, made her way


    to the dining area.


    Rows of long tables were lined with both Western and Chinese food.


    Scarlett, unable to digest anything, found it difficult to eat, but, with the servants hospitality, she forced


    herself to drink some mushroom soup


    Standing quietly in the dining area, she sipped her soup when suddenly, several luxury cars drove in


    from outside the


    Leo exited the car, opened the door of the Koenigsegg, and extended an invitation to the distinguished


    man in the back seat.


    Standing in the warm yellow light, the man in the ck suit had his hands in his pockets as he faced


    the car.


    His face, so exquisitely and three-dimensionally carved by God, had edges and corners so sharp that

    The coldness of the light from his eyes was even more intense than the chill of winter ice.


    As soon as he arrived, all the influential people in the manor approached him


    Skyer Wen, the Wen family’s elderly patriarch, who had not been seen in a while, hastened out of the


    vi.


    “Second Young Master Jackman


    Skyer brought his family members to Sebastian and said respectfully. “I never anticipated that you


    would attend such a humble family gathering Had I known, I would have had my family greet you at the


    door. I apologize for my oversight. Please forgive me. Second Young Master Jackman.”


    “It doesn’t make a difference,” Sebastian responded nonchntly.


    His cold gaze swept around the area, yet he failed to spot the figure. His brows furrowed momentarily


    in response.


    Lance descended from his limited edition phantom car and followed after Dev to confirm what he had


    said.


    Upon seeing Lance’s presence, Skyer felt even more privileged. Is the Seventh Young Master here


    too?”


    This was a good day indeed, he had been worried that his daughter wouldn’t find a suitable farruly, but


    then the Jackman Group brothers showed up.


    Although Lance was azy yboy, his surname of Jackman still interested Skyer.


    Sebastian didn’t give it much thought; he was the son-inw that Napier Group had taken a liking to,


    and a small family like lus could notpete with them.


    Skyer, being highly self-aware, treated the Jackman Group brothers as guests, leaving even Dev, who


    had just been praised by him, behind This caused Iris Wen, daughter of the Wen family, to be so


    angry that her face changed.


    She had taken a fancy to Dry, so she took great efforts in persuading her brother to invite Dev over, but


    her father asked her to please Lance?


    How could she be willing to marry Lance, who was so obviously a yboy?


    Iris was furious. Everan, with a nce, motioned for her to go out and hide first, and so Iris stealthily


    departed.


    Skyer had been showering Sebastian withpliments constantly, almost to the point ofvishing him


    with affection, which made Everan feel highly ufortable.


    He gave Dev a look, suggesting they should go out for a drink.


    Dey had been longing to leave for a while, yet out of politeness he did not depart immediately.


    Seeing Everan give him a meaningful look, he quickly turned and departed.


    Before he could depart the banquet hall, he was halted by Lance, “Mr. Gatsby.”


    Lance approached him and spoke to him as an elder brother would, asking. “If I recall correctly, it was


    the Gatsby family


    who initiated the conversation about marriage with my family half a year ago. So why are you here at


    Miss Wen’s blind date banquet?”
