Liliana Manning shuddered. She couldn’t understand why she felt this way. That woman was just an insignificant outcast.
It must be an illusion.

Lea Berry had already turned to look at Alfred Andrews. Their eyes met and she gave him a doting and supportive look
Only then did the man smile.
Lea then turned around and walked elegantly toward Christian Berry and the rest.
The moment she turned around, Liliana spoke, staring straight at Lea’s back profile. Her words were directed at her as well as everyone.
“The first time I met Alfred, 3 was five years old. We were attending the birthday banquet of the Queen of Yostouder. At that time, he had already left a deep impression on me.
“A year ago, when I saw him again at the Queen’s birthday banquet, I was once again deeply moved by him.
“Whether it’s Alfred’s appearance, his character, or his way of doing things, he’s perfect in my mind. I like everything about him.
“No one has ever made me so excited and so infatuated…
At this point Liliana was so overwhelmed by her emotions that tears welled up in her eyes
These foreigners had always been liberal and outspoken. Likewise, Liliana’s confession was very frank and bold.
If anyone else had done this, the guests might have felt uncomfortable. However, since it was Liliana doing it, people would only think that she was sincere and brave. They would be moved by her…
Liliana wanted to use this to her advantage and antagonize Lea. Yet Lea was still so elegant and confident.
If Liliana could see the departing figure’s face, she would see that the smile on Lea’s face was very bright and contained a hint of mockery.
Liliana said these things to make sure that Lea did not have any more illusion that she still stood a chance with Alfred. Liliana could not make herself any plainer than this.
Abigail stood among the socialites, her hands clenching the folds of her dress. On one hand, she was happy about Liliana’s . woman’s social status alone was enough to deal a blow to Lea.
appearance. That
On the other hand, she felt sour because Liliana was Alfred’s future wife chosen by Blake. Liliana had usurped the position she wanted the most
Abigail was happy yet she was also upset and angry, so much so that her face had become all contorted.
Not far away from Abigail, Arlene was very excited. With Liliana around, not only would Lea lose Alfred soon, but she would also be ostracized. She would be better off dead.
The more Arlene thought about it, the more excited she became. She downed the red wine in her glass with a tilt of her head.
On the rostrum, Liliana was still talking about her past dealings with Alfred and the Andrews family. Everyone was made to listen to her description of the good relations between her family and the Andrews family, the love story between childhood sweethearts, and how she and Alfred were a match made in heaven.
In the end, although she did not say that she was going to marry Alfred, it was clear to everyone that their relationship was already stable and that Altred would marry her soon.
Lea was not affected by Liliana’s moving speech at all.
She came up to Christian Berry and looked at everyone. “Why are all of you so serious!”
Everyone’s heart ached when they saw her calm and bright smile, but they restrained themselves and held their emotions in check,
At this point, if they reveal their reactions, it would only make others laugh at them.

They all looked at her resolutely.
Lea went up to hold the old man’s arm before saying to everyone, “Such a lavish banquet might not be held in Iverton for years. It’s a rare event. Don’t waste the opponunity.
“The least all of you should do is rat your fill here and get as much value as you can, shouldn’t you?”
The chefs hired for the banquet were all top–notch local chefs. The foreign cuisine was also prepared by preeminent chefs hired from overseas.
Naturally, the ingredients and wine were the best in the world.
Even the tableware iteins were works of art designed by top craftwork masters
The Berry family and companions had never seen so much high–end food and drinks. In fact, some of them had never even seen such things.
Everyone hesitated before breaking into laughter.
“Sure! I’ll go and binge now and get as much value as I can!” Willow Alvarez was the youngest, the least scherning, but also the most impulsive. “You! Come with me. She dragged ivan Berry along. This was an opportunity y for him to make himself useful.
Ivan growled, “Can you let go of my belt first?”
*Elmphi” Willow gave a sinister smirk. “That depends on your performance.”
Ivan glared at her. He had not taught this younger sister well,
Sheena Andrews went up to Lea, “So my second sister–in–law will be….
Sheena felt it was a little odd to still think of Lea as her second sister–in–law. After all, in everyone’s eyes, it was impossible for Lea and Alfred to be together under such circumstances
1.ea stopped in her tracks,
The others were also taken aback and turned in unison to look at Sherna.
Two nights ago, at our family gathering, Alfred publicly expressed his stance. He has already confirmed his relationship with you. He will only marry you in this lifetime. I trust Alfred, Sheena proclaimed
The old man Christian looked at the young girl thoughtfully. Then he gave a heavy sigh silently and reached for Lea’s hand. His eyes had already turned red–rimmed.
Lea, Grandpa will always support you,” he said with an acting heart.
Ewan Berry also looked at Lea with red–rimmed eyes. “Our door will always be open to you.”
Willow then kicked Ivan’s shin.
As Ivan gasped in pain and indignation, she gestured toward Lea with her chin.
Ivan thus turned to Lea. “If you can’t get married, you can just work for the Berry family for the rest of your life… Ow!” He hurriedly held his butt crack and yelped in anguish.
The others did not say anything. They simply nodded at Lea though their eyes were also red– rimmed.
Lea had given some of them a new life even though they were not her family members. Their dreams and future were dependent on her. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Lea gave everyone a firm and reassuring gaze. Then, she nodded at Sheena and added. “Thank you”
Sheena surveyed all the people around her and was a little touched. Then, she turned to Willow, I’ll show you guys where the delicious dishes are.”
Willow turned red with excitement and nodded stifly. Sheena was so beautiful and exquisite. She was also a top–notch chef, so she naturally knew which were the best dishes. Willow would be able to enjoy endless good food if she followed Sheena.
Sheena giggled and her eyes caught sight of the belt Willow was grabbing Ivan’s lower back was exposed. His skin was smooth and tanned, and his
“Can a man’s waist be so small? she wondered absent–mindedly.
However, this waist was different. It could thrust out very vigorous energy.
