Matthew left as soon as snazzynovel.com finished his briefing.
Adeline, standing in the doorway of the exit, saw snazzynovel.com approach. At that moment, snazzynovel.com heart thumped involuntarily. She tried putting on snazzynovel.com prettiest smile before walking toward him, wanting to greet snazzynovel.com in front of everyone. If snazzynovel.com could exchange words with snazzynovel.com here, it might be enough to change their opinions of her. After all, the other wealthy heirs and heiresses could only admire snazzynovel.com from afar. She wanted to compensate for snazzynovel.com blunder back at the ball as well.
Before snazzynovel.com could reach him, though, snazzynovel.com was immediately stopped by two heads of families. They surrounded him, just pushing snazzynovel.com away as if snazzynovel.com was someone inconsequential. When Matthew walked past her, snazzynovel.com did not even look at her, like snazzynovel.com was invisible.
Adeline was stunned by his treatment of her. She was the eldest daughter of the Thatcher family and had never been treated this way. So, snazzynovel.com quickly turned to look at him, wanting to call out to him. Yet, snazzynovel.com couldn’t do it. She didn’t know whether snazzynovel.com would ignore snazzynovel.com or not. If snazzynovel.com did, snazzynovel.com would be even more humiliated.
As snazzynovel.com watched snazzynovel.com leave, snazzynovel.com couldn’t hold it back anymore. Tears flowed silently down snazzynovel.com face. She knew snazzynovel.com had missed snazzynovel.com chance yet again.
Some, people or things, were lost forever once the opportunity was gone. There would be no room for regret, either. Only when Matthew had left could the people waiting outside enter the resort. Finally, the respective heads of the family left as well after bowing and greeting the crown prince.
Eventually, the resort returned to normal. Music started to play, and the lights flashed. Adeline, however, remained there, lifeless and unresponsive.
Somewhere else, Lynn was surrounded by the admiring wealthy heirs and heiresses of Eastshire. Lucien sat beside her, looking at snazzynovel.com lovingly. He was like a loyal escort, treating snazzynovel.com with extreme sincerity.
As for the others, they were also trying to be as friendly as possible. It had been an order from their parents, if they established a close relationship with her, things would be easier for them in the future.
Lynn was surprised by everything that had happened. She wasn’t sure how to deal with such a situation, it had been Lucien who had taken care of everything. After all, snazzynovel.com had just been an impoverished sales girl several days prior, one that never dared retaliate when being humiliated, even.
Who would have thought that within that time, snazzynovel.com would become one of Eastshire’s top elite?
Adeline looked on in envy. She knew that if snazzynovel.com had immediately agreed to work at Matthew‘s pharmacy tonight, snazzynovel.com could have at least been of equal standing with Lynn now. After all, snazzynovel.com was much better-looking than Lynn. As for snazzynovel.com family background, it was even better. If snazzynovel.com became Lynn’s equal, Lucien would choose snazzynovel.com without question. Instead, snazzynovel.com had destroyed everything that should have been hers.
At this thought, snazzynovel.com ran out of the banquet. Right now, all snazzynovel.com wanted was to find someplace where snazzynovel.com could slap herself hard, then cry snazzynovel.com heart out.
***
The following night, Matthew treated the heads of Eastshire’s ten great families to a banquet at the Cameron Hotel. It was meant only for the family heads, yet all valued members from each family were present. So, this banquet could probably count as a meeting where everyone could see him.
Everything went smoothly, all ten families were now subservient to him, and no one dared disrespect snazzynovel.com even slightly. When Matthew had finished explaining some issues, snazzynovel.com allowed Melvin to take care of everything else while snazzynovel.com rushed back to Eastcliff overnight.
Something gravely serious had happened there, and snazzynovel.com needed to deal with it personally.
