Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The banquet hall was grandly decorated with self-service food.
Guests filled up the hall and chatted rrily with each other.
The invited guests belonged to the upper class of reputable families. The n were immaculately dressed while the won were gorgeous and elegant.
When they entered the banquet hall, a pair of husband and wife walked toward them and the man waved at John Grant.
His female partner seed to be of mixed-blood race. Her deep blue eyes were very beautiful, and when she saw Selena, she gave her an affectionate hug.
Selena smiled. “Mrs. Ford, you seem to be even prettier.”
“No, no. You’re still prettier, Mrs. Grant.”
Serenity rarely participated in such a grand banquet. As she saw the groups of people chatting and drinking with each other, she stood behind Selena at a loss.
But Selena and Mrs. Ford were chatting happily and did not notice her discomfort.
A waiter carried glasses of champagne and walked past them. She took a glass and walked to a corner to sit down. Her indifferent gaze glossed through the groups of people who toasted to each other before her gaze landed on Mr. Ford and Mrs. Ford, who chatted with John and Selena.
Today, Selena wore a rose-colored gown that covered her chest. Her skin was reddish and fair with a graceful figure.
John Grant wore a silver-colored suit with a white dress shirt. He had a sophisticated deanor.
The man was courteous and handso, while the woman was gentle and beautiful. They looked great with each other.
At that mont, she had no choice but to admit that when they stood together, they were really an ideal couple.
Her lips gently curled up in self-deprecation as she lowered her head to look at the wine glass in her hands. She gently twirled it before taking a sip.
Selena and Mrs. Ford were chatting before Selena rembered Serenity. She turned back and realized that Serenity had disappeared. She scanned through the banquet hall before finding her sitting at a corner.
Benjamin had told her beforehand that she had to take today’s opportunity and bring Serenity to et so people.
She whispered to John Grant, and John Grant nodded his head before she excused herself from Mr. Ford and Mrs. Ford and walked towards Serenity.
Serenity stared at the champagne in her hand and was in a daze. It was not until Selena stood before her that she ca back to her senses.
She smiled. “Sis, why are you here?”
Selena waved at the waiter and took a glass of champagne after the waiter had walked over with the tray of drinks. “You aren’t familiar with the people in this circle, I will introduce so to you.”
Selena was Mrs. Grant and the eldest daughter of the Rivers family. She attended many types of banquet on a frequent basis. Hence, many people knew her and she attended such banquets with ease.
She brought Serenity through the crowd and, with a smile, walked towards two won who were dressed extravagantly. “Mrs. Cook. Mrs. Abbot.”
The two ladies held glasses of champagne and were chatting with each other. When they saw Selena, they cheerfully greeted her. “Mrs. Grant, long ti no see.”
In their circle of friends, many envied Selena. Not only was she from a well-known family, but she was also beautiful and married to a good person.
Her husband was handso and rich. Moreover, he was the heir of Grant Group while she was a capable businesswoman.
Mrs. Cook looked at Serenity who stood beside her. She seed to have a strong presence, yet she had not seen her before. Thus, she asked, “Mrs. Grant, she is…”
Selena turned her body slightly and pushed Serenity towards her. “She is my sister, Serenity.”
Then, she introduced them to Serenity. “Serene, they are Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Abbot.”
Serenity smiled. “Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Abbot, hello..”
