“Pfft… Impossible, impossible. Mr. Lucas is Mr. Lucas’s younger generation; how could he take a liking to that kind of woman? She probably thinks too highly of herself, creating her own hype!”
“Hmph, it must be… That woman has been kept by so many men; she’s not worthy of entering Mr. Lucas’s sight.”
“Alas, who knows? In any case, I feel sorry for my brother…”
As everyone was discussing fervently, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out.
The next instant, a bright white light shone down from the ceiling.
The white light fell on the staircase, following the host of the banquet, Mr. Wellington’s figure.
Under the white glow, the charming man in a black tailored suit was escorting Lily Gray, who was wearing a floor-length sky-blue dress, downstairs.
The whole room darkened, and the two of them became the center of attention.
Under everyone’s gaze, Lily Gray held Dylan Wellington’s arm, walking step by step down the staircase.
Dylan Wellington’s deep and handsome features were even more mysterious and wicked under the light.
With a slight smile at the corner of his lips, his seductive eyes looked down on everyone, exuding unparalleled class.
Standing beside him, Lily Gray’s beauty didn’t diminish at all from his handsome and wicked features.
She was already born beautiful, though she’d only applied light makeup today.
However, the sky-blue evening dress brought out her entire temperament, perfectly complementing her light makeup.
Standing next to Dylan Wellington, she not only caught everyone’s eyes but also captivated them with her innate elegance and refinement.
Both of them had incredibly delicate features; standing together, they looked like a perfect couple.
It would be a lie to say they weren’t nervous with so many people staring at them.
As Lily Gray held Dylan Wellington’s arm and walked down step by step, her palms were soaked in cold sweat.
If she had known that she would make her entrance in such a spotlight, she would never have accepted Dylan Wellington’s invitation.
She tried to straighten her back, lightly lifted her skirt with her left hand, and had a faint smile hoping to quickly move onto the dance floor and finish the dance.
“Be careful.”
Just as she was thinking about how to find an excuse to leave after the dance,
she accidentally tripped on her skirt. Fortunately, Dylan Wellington reacted quickly and steadied her.
To hold her, Dylan Wellington’s large hand supported her waist.
Because of this support, Lily Gray’s petite body was pulled into his arms.
Once she regained her balance, she backed away from his embrace, “Thank you, I’m fine now.”
Dylan Wellington noticed her blushing face but didn’t mention it, instead saying teasingly, “Sister-in-law, you mustn’t fall on my watch. Otherwise, when Ethan comes back, he’ll blame me.”
Hearing the name “Ethan,” Lily Gray’s heart couldn’t help but clench.
In her mind, she couldn’t help but think of Aidan Lucas’s warning.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter.
For the Gray family, why not accompany Dylan Wellington for a dance?
After all, there were other women by Aidan Lucas’s side too.

“Hmph, she’s just throwing herself at him without any shame!” In the crowd, Zara Lowe angrily muttered.
“Zara, who are you talking about?”
“Who else could it be, obviously the woman who’s holding onto Mr. Wellington’s arm. Didn’t you see just now? She was throwing herself at him, wishing she could cling to Mr. Wellington; she’s a shameless woman.”
Since Lily Gray’s appearance, Zara Lowe’s feeling of superiority from being the center of attention had vanished.
She was originally secretly proud of her stunning performance tonight, overshadowing the other beautiful women. However, she never expected that Lily Gray would appear at the banquet as well.
What’s more, her entrance was even more graceful and elegant than her own by a hundred times, even a million times!
