Even though I was already his wife, his words still moved me. We were destined to be together, and I was grateful to the heavens for giving me this perfect man to spend the rest of my life with. The party in Gerby was on the top floor of the Saint Eastin International, the most luxurious banquet hall in Gerby and the tallestndmark in the city.


    Arnold, dressed in a tailored suit and leather shoes, apanied me. His elegant demeanor attracted many admiring nces.


    There were quite a few foreigners in attendance at the party.


    Both Eleanor and I wore suits. Since there were no international brands at the shopping mall, we opted for local top-tier brands. But I didn''t expect to find myself embroiled in an inexplicable situation with Hazelyn just because of my outfit.


    The scene was bustling, with sses clinking, lively conversations, and menughing at every corner. On the other hand, women discussed and evaluated each other''s appearances.


    The women were mostly adorned in evening gowns, and they were clearly the wives and socialites of the city''s business circle. Despite it being a businessworking event, it felt more like a matchmaking party, with flirtatious nces being exchanged everywhere.


    Of course, those present were all either rich or influential figures in Gerby.


    Our outfits were professional and inconspicuous, so we didn''t draw much attention, but our presence sparked some whispers, perhaps because no one had ever seen us before.


    I overheard someone whispering, "They''re clearly outsiders, and it looks like they''re here on business. Just look at their outfits. They''re probably white-cor workers from somepany." "She is quite beautiful, and she''s definitely not from Gerby."Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Before long, I spotted the smartly dressed Finn in the crowd. In the past few days, I had seen his low-key side. He had been in paint-sttered work clothes or simple shirts. But now, he looked incredibly handsome in a well-tailored suit, which brought out his strong features and sturdy build.


    I didn''t greet him as I didn''t want to involve the Bullock family in this. I just wanted them to handle things for me when needed.


    Arnold said, "I''ll go talk to those foreigners. Don''t stray too far from me."


    "Sure," I nodded.


    Arnold turned and walked toward the group of foreign businessmen.


    I was engaged in a lively


    conversation with two middle-ageddies when the crowd around us started looking in one direction.


    ovel


    turned to see a dazzling


    walking in. The man exuded


    confidence, and the woman smiled charmingly.


    Upon closer inspection, I recognized the woman. It was Hazelyn, who I had encountered earlier in the mental hospital that morning.


    Tonight, she was dressed


    extravagantly adorned with jewels in


    a sapphire blue evening gown. It was conservative, suitable for a businessworking event, but it was evident that the


    s was f


    a luxury brand, and it didn''te


    cheap.


    She wore aplete set of diamond jewelry, and her makeup was meticulous, enhancing her average looks and making her stand out.


    But what caught my attention more


    was the man she was arm in arm with. He was tall and imposing. His features were not particrly outstanding, but he exuded a strong presence that wasn''tmonly


    seen in Gerby.


    I wondered if this was the rumored boyfriend of Hazelyn who wouldter be her husband. Was that Gabriel Russell?


    While I was lost in thought, I overheard the two middle-aged women beside me sneering. "Herees Hazelyn again."


    "She''s bing unbearable."


    "The Chandler family have been unting their wealth these past few years. They even made Helen hand over Keller''s Dairy to their family. I feel sorry for her. And now, her daughter''s gone crazy."


    "I heard Byron and Gabriel are nning to acquire Grand Tribeca together. Looks like the Russell family is on the prowl."


    I nced at Eleanor, thinking about Grand Tribeca. That name seemed familiar.
