Mario returned her hug with the same enthusiasm.


    Then, he stepped down the stage for Eleanor to have the floor.


    Eleanor held the microphone and looked at the crowd with a smile.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    She was excited to finally be in the spotlight.


    First, she looked at her parents.


    “Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do something for the Turner Group.


    I will try my best to understand thepany affairs and help the Turner Group to grow.


    ”


    Then, she looked away from them and smiled at the crowd.


    “Thank you all for finding the time to attend my banquet.


    I hope you all have a good time tonight.


    ”


    The guests apuded again, thinking that her speech was over.


    But it wasn’t.


    Her face flushed a little as if shy, and then she continued.


    “I’m sure a majority of the guests are already aware of this, but I want to officially invite you all to my engagement party with Mr.


    Nathaniel Roberts, the president of the Roberts Group.


    It is a month from now, and will take ce in Eastmo Hotel.


    I hope you will alle and witness our love.


    ”


    The joy on her face as she said this was evident.


    She looked at Nathaniel with a sweet smile, but from the corner of her eye, she tried to see how Lucinda was reacting to this.


    Instinctively, Dwayne turned to look at Lucinda.


    However, Lucinda’s face was devoid of any emotion.


    She sipped on her wine like all was well with her world.


    Although she didn’t seem to be disturbed, Dwayne was still worried about her.


    “Lucinda, it’s not been very long since you got divorced with him, but he has wasted no time to get engaged.


    He’s not a good man.


    It’s good thing that you divorced him.


    ” He scoffed and added, “Eleanor deliberately announced it at the banquet to egg you on.


    What a scheming bitch!”

    Lucinda was amused by Dwayne’s attempt to console her.


    She chuckled and said, “You’ve literally said everything.


    There’s nothing left for me to add.


    ”


    Out of the corner of her eye, Eleanor spotted Lucinda and Dwayne talking andughing.


    Why was the bitch pretending not to care? Did she take her as a joke?


    Eleanor could feel her angering back to the surface.


    After a small bow to the audience, she stepped down from the stage and began to toast with the guests.


    Presley led her around the hall for her to greet the guests.


    A waiter followed silently behind her with wine in his hand.


    She went through the small groups of guests who were chatting happily and raised a toast that way too.
