Ethan was so excited that his voice trembled slightly. "Mr. Lancaster, what a great honor to have you here! I didn't know you would personally come over today!" If the Hamilton family were considered the most prominent in Jaedornia, then the Lancaster family would be an extremely distinguished presence in Ambrollum City. They had a long-standing history and were deeply rooted in the city, making them widely recognized. Even if the Solace family had recently garnered a lot of attention, they could only be regarded as a second-tier family at most, far from matching the Lancaster family's legacy, which spanned a hundred years.In other words, the Lancaster family could be seen as a true aristocracy hidden within Ambrollum City.Ethan had no associations with them, so he didn't send an invitation to them. It had never occurred to him that Elon Lancaster would show up on his own! He had a feeling that he was about to experience a meteoric rise soon."Well, I'm kind of Ambrose's e
Charmaine wondered why the topic had been raised at all, especially when it was clear that his involvement would be inappropriate.She was so angry that her eyes turned red. However, she was in no place to say anything in front of a big shot like Elon. "Larissa is so beautiful! Who exactly is the adopted one? Why do I feel that Larissa doesn't seem to come from the countryside?" "I heard that it was Larissa who successfully sealed the 30-million contract with the Hamilton Group." "I used to think that Charmaine was pretty. But upon comparing her with Larissa, her beauty is rather ordinary. Be it looks or body figure, Larissa completely outshines her!" "Not only is Larissa beautiful, but she is also smart. Don't be fooled by Mr. Hamilton's disability. Aside from being the CEO of the branch company in Ambrollum City, I heard he is the heir of the Hamilton family in Jaedornia!" Everyone was shocked upon hearing that."Although Larissa is young, she has shrewd judgment. Now th
"It's okay. Have a seat first." Ambrose frowned. "Why did you wear such high heels?"Larissa sat down obediently. "The stylist chose them to match my gown.""Take them off. I'll massage your feet."Hearing that, Larissa happily slipped her feet out of the shoes. Then, Ambrose put her delicate legs on his knees. When he saw the red marks around them, he couldn't help furrowing his brows. He had hired a professional styling team to give Larissa a makeover. Indeed, her outfit today was on par with top celebrities. She could even easily attend a red carpet event with it. However, it had never occurred to him that the stylists would choose such high heels for her. It seemed like he needed to inform them next time not to put Larissa in overly high stilettos, considering her young age.Ambrose rubbed her feet gently. He looked so serious, as if it was a business contract he was dealing with rather than a person's legs.Larissa felt warm in her heart. Ambrose was so good to her. His c
Ella's eyes twinkled with excitement. However, right when she was about to reach Ambrose, the wheelchair he was in veered away slightly. Her smile froze when she realized she was about to fall to the ground instead. She swore that it was Larissa who moved the wheelchair earlier!"Ah! I want to kill you, Larissa!" she shouted in her heart. As fate would have it, a stone lay hidden in the grass, and Ella's breasts unexpectedly made contact with it. She cried out in pain. Her breast augmentation! Not surprisingly, when someone came over and helped her up, her breasts had deflated. Ella was in so much pain that she felt she was on the verge of passing out. She couldn't be bothered by the presence of the onlookers. "Quick, call me an ambulance! My breast implant has ruptured!" Charmaine twitched her lips. She didn't want to admit that Ella was her friend. When Ella looked over, she immediately hid herself behind the crowd. However, Ella spotted her. The pain had overc
Larissa had made a sharp remark. James was wound up. "Larissa, no matter what, you are in the wrong for starting up a fight! It's me who got assaulted today. Are you going to have your mother beaten up tomorrow?" "Mister will never allow his subordinates to hit anyone for no reason. You claimed to be my uncle but didn't even give me anything at my engagement banquet. On top of that, you wanted to beat me up! Why didn't I see you go and give Charmaine a good hiding?" Larissa narrowed her eyes. "I'm even starting to suspect something is fishy about what happened 18 years ago." Hearing that, Penelope and James trembled. Ethan stepped forward with a long face and reprimanded, "Cut it out, will you? James, do you think it's your place to hit my daughter when you have been depending on the Solace family for support? I'm not a pushover! "You'd better not use my name for any of your affairs anymore. From now on, there's no business relationship between us!"Ethan was pissed off.
Elon was intrigued. "You seem to know a lot about this. Do you have any medical expertise?""She learned some basic medical skills from a doctor when she was a child," Ambrose explained. "I see. How unexpected! Larissa, I heard you've graduated from high school. Which university do you plan to attend? What do you want to major in?" Elon asked casually. "I plan to go to a medical school," Larissa replied, looking quite determined. Upon hearing that, Elon began to size her up. Larissa was quite pretty, and she was engaged to Ambrose, too. For someone like her, attending university was just a bonus. She could easily take up any random art course. Little did Elon expect Larissa to go for medicine."Larissa, why do you want to study medicine? It's not an easy course. You have other options; you don't have to study so hard.""Uncle Elon, even if that is true, I also have a dream," she said. "What's your dream, then?""My dream is Mister!"Ambrose was stunned and turned to lo
Henry's eyes glinted as he stared intently at Charmaine's necklace."Oh, you mean this?" Charmaine instinctively touched her necklace. "My mom gave it to me.""I heard at the banquet earlier that you and your sister were switched at birth? Sorry, I didn't mean to pry; I'm just curious about you. It's fine if you don't want to talk about it."Charmaine's expression changed upon hearing that. Frankly, it was the last thing she wanted to talk about. Yet Henry, of all people, had brought it up. Henry was impeccable in every aspect, and on top of that, he clearly had taken a liking to her. If she failed to give a good response to that question, she might end up losing his favor. Charmaine thought about it and soon came up with an idea. Lowering her head, she said, "Henry, I was afraid you would despise me, so I didn't mention it. I only recently found out that I'm not my parents' biological child. I was raised in the Solace residence with them by my side I ... I'm having quite a ha
Zayn kept praising Larissa; even his presence at this banquet was to give her a surprise.Penelope smiled, though it was noticeably strained. "But I heard it was Charmaine who invited you." If they weren't at a banquet, she probably would have grabbed Zayn by the neck and shook him hard. "Aren't you pursuing Charmaine? Why do you keep talking about that bitch!" Penelope cursed inwardly. Zayn feigned surprise at her words. "Charmaine? I'm sorry, but I'm not sure who you're referring to."Penelope was at a loss for words.The socialites around them nearly burst out laughing. Penelope had told them that Zayn was pursuing Charmaine. However, now that Zayn was present, it turned out that he didn't even know who Charmaine was. Zayn looked around and settled his gaze on the man beside Larissa."Oh, my God! He's truly disabled! Boss' taste is indeed different. But with such good looks and demeanor, it's understandable why she's taken with him," he mused.Zayn made his way through
