“Ms. Be! Long time no see!” Neil stepped forward to greet her politely with his wife.


    “Uncle Neil, you’re being so polite. You can just call me Be like you. did when I was young.” There


    was a gentle look on Be’s face, and she did not put on any airs.


    “That was when you were a child. Now, you’re a part of thepany’s management and also Steve’s


    boss. Things are different now.”


    Neil knew that the youngdy before him now had a great reputation and was most likely to be Wyatt’s


    heir, so he had to be extra careful, when speaking to her.


    Hunter scoffed, feeling very embarrassed by the way his father was lowering his head toward Be.


    Did the Lovetts really have to bow before the Thompsons for their whole lives?


    Were kings, dukes, and generals truly better simply because they were born so?


    Be let Neil do what he wanted when she saw that he insisted on being polite.


    Meanwhile, Mrs. Lovett silently observed the Thompson sisters from the side.


    Be had truly blossomed into a beauty. When she was young, she looked like a porcin doll, and


    now that she had grown up, she was a-gorgeous stunner who mesmerized one at a nce.


    No wonder her son, Steve, pined for Be. Her heart ached for him..


    Besides, there was too much of a gap between their family’s status. and the Thompsons’. Although the


    Lovetts were a famed schrly family, the difference between their family and the richest family in


    Hatchbay, the Thompsons, was like heaven and earth.


    Her son was reaching too high for the stars.


    Mrs. Lovett turned her gaze to Amelia, who was standing there qui and in a refined manner.


    “H-Hello, Mrs. Lovett!” Amelia hurriedly bowed politely to Mrs. Lovett. Her heart beat faster when she


    saw her crush’s mother, and she blushed.


    “Hello, Ms. Amelia.”


    If her son really wanted to have a star, the youngest Thompson daughter would be the next best thing.


    She was well-behaved and gentle, so she made a very good match for her youngest son. Her only w


    was that her mother was not Wyatt’s legal wife.


    Although Amelia was also Wyatt’s daughter, Celeste and Wyatt had never legally married and only


    shared this weak daughter between them, so they must not be favored in the Thompson family.


    If Mrs. Lovett allowed Steven to marry Amelia Thompson, she felt that her son would lose out.


    Amelia’s eyshes fluttered as she snuck a nce at her crush.


    But with just a nce, it was like someone had pressed pause on her excitedly thumping heart, and it


    started throbbing in pain.


    Steven always only had eyes for Be.


    No one else understood that burning, passionate gaze better than she did.


    Because for the past seven years, had she not watched him from with the same gaze?


    It was quite lively in Yara Park tonight. Only Asher could not make it as he was too busy with work,


    having gone on a business trip overseas and unable to make it back in time.


    However, the two public servants, Axel and Ralph, came back home for dinner on time, as if they had


    agreed beforehand.


    In the beginning, the atmosphere was cordial. Wyatt and Neil were of simr ages and had known each


    other for a long time, so they had much to talk about.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Mrs. Lovett and Wyatt’s three wives also chatted happily.


    However, there was a strange tension between the young men at the table.


    There was a police officer, a prosecutor, a judge, and awyer sitting at the table, including the intiff,


    Be herself. It was like a little courtroom had gathered there.


    “So, Hunter. I heard yourw firm in Savrow is doing well.”


    Axel sneered as he lightly swirled his wine ss. “In the past two years, for the few big cases the


    Savrow District Attorney’s received, you’ve always been thewyer hired by the defendants.”


    “It’s my duty as awyer.”
