I turned to the source of the voice, only to find that the person greeting me was Melvern.


    I greeted him with a slight smile and said, "Hello."


    At this moment, he looked at me endearingly, as if we were old friends. "Beforeing here, I was wondering if I''d see you. It seems my wish hase true."


    His charming gaze remained fixed on my face as he spoke.


    While I didn''t mind Melvern''s presence, I disliked how he looked at me intensely. His gaze gave me goosebumps.


    Ivanna nced at the person who approached me and gave me a questioning look.


    However, I could not introduce him to Ivanna as I didn''t officially know him. Nevertheless, during our brief conversation, I noticed he addressed me as "Ms. Chloe," indicating that he had investigated me.


    I nodded slightly at Melvern and said, "It''s nothing strange, it''s just a social gathering and anyone can be here."


    Upon sensing my tone, Ivanna understood this person was not someone I favored.


    To steer the conversation away, Ivanna politely nodded at Melvern and gently pulled me away, saying, "Chlo, let me introduce you to some friends."


    I told Melvern, "Excuse me," and followed Ivanna, distancing myself from him.


    Ivanna took the opportunity to ask me quietly who the man was.


    I calmly responded, "I''ll tell youter."


    Ivanna understood. Unexpectedly, a few men who knew Ivanna approached us, and she introduced them to me individually. They turned out to be influential figures in the media industry.

    "Exactly. A woman like her can''t afford to wear his dresses. She''s just a pretty face, that''s all. Do any of you recognize her? Have you seen her before?"


    "No, but she looks a lot like that former celebrity."


    "Who are you talking about?"


    "Harmony?" The discussion became a bit noisy, and Ivanna seemed a bit annoyed, turning away.


    I pulled her aside, and she looked at me. I gestured for her not to say anything.


    Unexpectedly, a peculiar voice sounded, "Unfortunately, Harmony was born at the wrong time. Tough luck."


    I could tell it was Liora''s voice.


    "Mrs. Liora, it''s you! Long time no see. I heard you''ve been doing welltely."


    It was indeed Liora. It seemed she couldn''t contain herself anymore.
