Sylvia and Christopher arrived at the entrance. After showing their invitation card, the butler guided
them inside
They followed the butler along the pathway and went into a castle-like house.
Dinner was held in the main hall on the first floor. In the center of the ceiling of the spacious venue,
there was a crystal chandelier that shed its glamorous light all across the hall.
After bringing them into the hall, the butler wore an apologetic smile and said, “Please make yourself at
home. Due to our master’s health, it might take him longer to come downstairs.” Christopher politely
answered, “It’s totally fine. We understand.”
The butler excused himself before he went to serve other guests.
Sylvia, Christopher, and the others sat down on one of the couches.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt the same time, there was a young woman in a sky blue dress and wearing beautiful makeup above
the spiral stairs, watching them from afar. She was looking in Sylvia’s direction with a sense of prying.
Moments later, a white-haired elderly woman, who was covered in expensive jewelry, walked over to
the young woman and asked, “Lily, why are you out here?” “Oh, it’s nothing. I just came out for a walk.”
Madam Springsteen furrowed her brows and looked in the direction Lily was staring. She saw a group
of people chatting on the couch. They were dressed commonly and probably were the artists the old
man had invited. She restricted her disdainful gaze and was more perplexed than before. “Lily, what
exactly are you looking at?” “Some irrelevant person.” Lily then turned around and elegantly paced
towards her room. As his ex-wife, Sylvia was indeed beautiful but commonly dressed, which was
expected of someone without a powerful background.
Downstairs, after having a seat, Sylvia sensed that someone was eyeing her. She scanned around and
saw groups of people chatting among themselves. She then looked up at the spiral stars but saw no
one there.
“Am I overthinking? Sylvia put the thought aside and munched on some fruits and snacks while
listening to Christopher’s chat. She waited for quite some time and still did not see the host of the event
anywhere Sensing the urge to use the tollet, she excused herself from Christopher and the others
before heading to the washroom However, after she left the hall for the washroom, tumultuous noises
came from inside the hall m ediately, the guests in the hall got up from their seats
The butler ran upstairs and helped Master Springsteen down the stairs. Together with him was Madam
Springsteen and her two sons and daughters-in-law. Even her daughter and son-in law came out
The crowd at the entrance automatically moved aside and paved a path
Under the glamorous light, the man’s towering figure appeared in the guests’ eyes. His black custom-
made suit complemented his straight figure, and he seemed to exude a strong aura. Each step he took
would further expand the path in between the crowd. The guests wanted to greet or talk to him, but

The quiet atmosphere was broken when Master Springsteen brought his family in front of the man
Master Springsteen smiled and said, “Master Carter, it’s great to finally meet you in person.”
Odell shook the man’s hand. “You’re too kind. I have heard a lot about you. You have seniority, so
please just address me by my name.” “Haha… Okay okay, let’s go inside,” Master Springsteen said
with a delighted smile.
Odell nodded and walked by his side.
Madam Springsteen was on the other side of her husband, and her eyes were glued to Odell. The
more she looked at him, the harder it was for her to suppress the urge to grin. At first, she thought that
Ramona was exaggerating when she described Odell’s appearance, but now she could verify that the
man was even more handsome than described. His looks coupled with his capabilities made him the
perfect man that was considered rare. Odell accepted Springsteen’s hospitality and took a seat on the
couch. He looked around and spotted Christopher and his group, but he did not see Sylvia anywhere.
She didn’t come?’
