Chapter 1003
At that moment, the sound of microphones being adjusted echoed through the hall, signaling that it was time for
Old Madam Harrisons’ birthday banquet to begin.
Vicky, who was about to return to the hall to join the celebration, paused as she heard the crisp sound of high heels
approaching from the entrance and realized another guest had arrived.
She stopped and turned to greet them with a polite smile on her face." Welcome..."
However, her expression froze as she laid eyes upon the two individuals standing before her.
A tall and beautiful woman, accompanied by a handsome and refined man, entered the room gracefully. Upon
seeing Vicky, a flicker of surprise crossed the woman's eyes before she smiled and said, "What a surprise to see you
here, Miss Shaw."

come in," she said.
Aurora, on the other hand, remained motionless. She observed Vicky with a scrutinizing gaze. "Miss Shaw, your
dress is truly magnificent... Did you design it yourself?"
Aurora was also wearing a dress that day, showcasing her exquisite figure in a subdued color that accentuated her
elegance and beauty.
Vicky responded with a faint nod.
Although the styles and colors of their dresses were different, it was evident that Vicky's dress was more striking. As
a fashion designer, she knew how to showcase her advantages.
A trace of envy flashed through Aurora's eyes.
Although Vicky was curious about why Tyler and Aurora had come, she knew better than to ask directly.
After all, with Tyler's status, she could not simply question their presence. On the contrary, it was her duty to

Elijah looked puzzled. "Tyler?"
Vicky glanced in a certain direction and asked, "Didn't you know about this? N

While Vicky was conversing with Elijah, she suddenly felt a chilling and icy gaze fixed upon her.
Instinctively, she turned her head.
She first looked in the direction where Tyler was. However, Tyler did not meet her gaze. He was surrounded by a
group of business elites, with
Aurora standing quietly by his side, occasionally displaying polite smiles at others.
'It wasn't him? Who can it be?’ She thought while scanning her surroundings, finding nothing out of the ordinary.
Elijah spotted her strange behavior and asked in confusion, "Vicky, what's wrong?"
She shook her head, feeling that she might have been overly sensitive. "It's nothing."
The dress Vicky wore outlined her curves perfectly. With her alluring features, many men in the hall had their
attention drawn toward her.
However, for some reason, Elijah had not looked at her directly. After saying a few words to her, he excused
himself, saying "Uhm... Vicky, there's something else I need to do, so I'll head over there now."
