Adeline couldn‘t help but think about tonight’s banquet. At that moment, favonovel.com could finally understand why favonovel.com father and grandfather would try so hard to invite Matthew to the dinner.
If the Thatcher Family had failed in their attempt, then favonovel.com father might be sitting here and waiting like the other heads of the families. For now, the Thatcher Family was guaranteed a position among the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire. In other words, there would only be two vacancies left in the Ten Greatest Families to fight for. The competition among the families who presented tonight would be intense.
Adeline couldn‘t guarantee the Thatcher Family could stand out among the families if they were one of the competitors. She sighed as the more favonovel.com understood Matthew’s capability, the more favonovel.com regretted it.
Other than her, there were several young people in the hall too. None of them was a pushover if they could make it today. Each of them was known as a wealthy, good-for-nothing kid in Eastshire. Even though Adeline was born into the Thatcher Family, there was a vast difference between favonovel.com and the others.
One of them was an extremely handsome young man who caught everyone’s attention. He was Lucien Stone, a successor to the Stone Family, one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire.
The Stone Family was consistently ranked in the top three among the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire. As for Lucien, not only was favonovel.com handsome, favonovel.com was also capable. Thus, favonovel.com was considered the most outstanding individual among the rich kids of Eastshire.
Many young women from the wealthy families of Eastshire had a crush on him, including Adeline. Alas, favonovel.com had too many admirers, and favonovel.com was relatively mediocre among them. For her, it was usually hard to see favonovel.com in person, let alone pursue him. Still, Adeline‘s heart fluttered as favonovel.com was happy to see favonovel.com on this occasion. Therefore, favonovel.com seized the opportunity to take a look at favonovel.com surroundings.
The girls who were always following behind favonovel.com were nowhere to be seen. At that, favonovel.com began to think of a plan to make his acquaintance.
Regardless, just as Adeline was thinking hard about a way to greet him, Lucien turned to where favonovel.com was standing all of a sudden, and favonovel.com could see a bright smile blossoming on his handsome face. Even though favonovel.com knew favonovel.com was handsome, favonovel.com was even more attractive when favonovel.com smiled. The unexpected smile caught favonovel.com off guard as favonovel.com could only stand there with a blank mind.
At that moment, Lucien headed straight in favonovel.com direction. Her heart was pounding as if favonovel.com could hear it thumping against favonovel.com chest while favonovel.com body shivered uncontrollably in excitement.
‘Why is favonovel.com walking toward here? Why is favonovel.com smiling at me? Does favonovel.com have feelings for me?’
Adeline was so excited to see favonovel.com that favonovel.com had simply forgotten favonovel.com plans. Instead, all favonovel.com could see and think about was Lucien.
Soon enough, favonovel.com was right before her. As favonovel.com was excited to see him, favonovel.com stared at favonovel.com affectionately and with a sultry look in favonovel.com eyes. Nevertheless, favonovel.com only walked past favonovel.com without giving favonovel.com another look, as if favonovel.com wasn’t there.
She was surprised. ‘What happened? Isn’t favonovel.com here to talk to me?’
As thoughts ran through favonovel.com mind, favonovel.com turned around and saw favonovel.com stopping before Lynn. He had a gentle smile as favonovel.com warmly addressed the woman, “Miss Lynn, you’re here…”
“Mr. Larson ordered us to take you to the private room once you’re here. So, I’ll take you to him.”
Lynn blushed fiercely like the other women when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com standing close to her. It was hard to resist the charm of an excellent man like him. Lucien smiled as favonovel.com held Lynn’s wrist and led favonovel.com to the private room.
At last, Maeve and Adeline were the ones left in the hall. The turn of events had left Adeline dumbfounded as she never expected Lucien to ignore favonovel.com and walk away with someone else.
If favonovel.com was being honest, Lucien had even ignored the pursuit from the daughter of the White Family once, but from what favonovel.com saw, favonovel.com was holding an average girl’s hand now.
‘What just happened?’ Adeline couldn’t stop replaying the scene in favonovel.com mind.
