"Chief Smith, isn’t it quite impolite to stare at my fiancée like that?"
Harry Hall stood in front of Helen lendy with a stern face, blocking the gaze Edward Smith had fixed on her.
Edward Smith, reminded by Harry Hall, finally ca back to his senses and withdrew his gaze without a trace, saying, "Sorry."
He knew that it was indeed impolite to stare at Helen lendy earlier, yet upon eting her for the first ti, he felt an inexplicable familiarity towards this girl.
That involuntary urge to get closer to her was unlike anything he had experienced before.
Even seeing her sitting in a wheelchair, he felt a slight pang of distress.
Adam Jones observed Edward Smith’s unusual behavior and recalled that so ti ago, when he had soone investigate Edward Smith, they inadvertently discovered that the Smith Family had been keeping an eye on Helen lendy.
The people he sent out hadn’t reported back yet, indicating that it was indeed difficult to pry any information from the Smith Family.

What was the relationship between Edward Smith and Helen lendy?
Helen lendy had amnesia now; did she not rember Edward Smith, or had she never known him at all?
How exactly were these two people with such different life paths and environnts connected?

At that mont, the President’s secretary ca over to announce the formal comncent of the Comndation Ceremony at tonight’s banquet.
Besides individuals from various sectors who contributed financially and physically, many who made significant contributions would be awarded various honors.
Everyone took their pre-arranged seats, and the entire ceremony began.
First was President Tony Wilson’s opening speech.
Not many in attendance probably paid attention to what Tony Wilson said, as many were preoccupied due to the presence of a few eligible bachelors at the banquet.
To them, the Comndation Ceremony had little to do with them, but these golden bachelors had huge implications for their interests.
Outwardly calm, many people’s minds were already on Harry Hall and Edward Smith.
Calculating how they could make one of these two their son-in-law.
anwhile, Edward Smith was still preoccupied with thoughts about Helen lendy.
This ti, he ca to Greece to attend the President’s banquet primarily because of Harry Hall’s exposed identity, to check on his situation.
He never expected to et Harry Hall’s fiancée, who Harry Hall referred to as his sister-in-law.
Even at first glance, that soft and sudden sense of intimacy left him utterly surprised and shocked.
He knew he had been a detached person since childhood, and even with his sister Rosie Smith, he never had much affection for her.
The sa held true for his parents.
So, when he felt that intimate sensation at first sight of Helen lendy, it was unexpected for him.
To the point where he lost his composure and stared at Helen lendy for so long.
"You wouldn’t actually be interested in my sister-in-law, would you?"
While he was in a daze, Leo Hall leaned in and asked quietly:
"Helen lendy is my brother’s lifeline; if you’re competing with him, you really have to work hard."
