When his voice died down, someone laughed and joked. "Young master Leonard appears to be in good health despite rumors saying otherwise. If you're still not feeling well, the only remedies are alcohol and women!"
"Agree! If young master Leonard doesn't drink wine with us, then I'll go and get a glass of vodka!"
Someone starts to take advantage of their encounter and this does not go unnoticed by others.
Luke saw this scene from the side, and with a pounding heart, he raised his eyebrows at Lyn.
Seeing his expression, Lyn pursed her lips, and said in a caring tone, "Don't make trouble, you know that Leonard's body is still not strong enough to drink alcohol. As his future wife, I forbid you to ask him to drink!"
"Oh! Lyn seems to have started to show the nature of a wife? If young master Leonard wants to, is it appropriate for you to jump in and answer for him?"
"Yes, I see that young master Leonard is in good health, except maybe he is a little thin. Lyn, why are you making so much of a fuss? It's just once in a while!"
Lyn's pretentiousness seems to have aroused their anger.
There are many families who would not pass up this opportunity. Even though Lyn and the Adlers have discussed marriage, as long as they are not married, Lyn will not be considered part of the Adler family.
Many daughters of other families secretly harbor an interest in Leonard.
If the man had not left Bandung, perhaps the identity of the future Mrs. Adler family would not have fallen on Lyn so soon.
Where there is a potential successor to the family, there is always a lot of conflict when choosing a partner.
And at parties where men and women gather, this fight was inevitable.
Everyone tried to lure Leonard to their side, and the scene gradually became chaotic and out of control.
At this time, Imelda walked in front of the crowd and smiled sensibly. "I see that everyone is very enthusiastic about this party, I'm very happy with that. Since we don't get together so often, it's best if we don't argue about trivial matters."
Lawrence nodded. "The party is about to start, we'd better not throw a tantrum just yet. Now it's time for us to watch the show!"
As the two Blain siblings cleared away the crowd, this chaotic scene was stopped in an instant.
Lawrence stepped forward and patted Leonard on the shoulder, whispered a few words in his ear, and the two of them walked towards the spiral staircase first.
The members of the younger generation behind him also scattered, but Luke was still standing there, staring at Leonard's back with his gloomy eyes.
After the entourage moved a few steps away, Lyn asked him, "What are you looking at?"
Luke sneered, turned his gaze to look at her, and asked in a low voice, "Is my brother's eye healed?"
At first, he smuggled a drug from abroad and exchanged it for the medicine Leonard usually drank. The drug is very dangerous because it can cause blindness in both eyes. The drug was an illegal drug in the country, so he spent a lot of money.
Over the past few months, he had sent people to secretly observe Leonard's every move.
His eyes were clearly blind, but today, even if Leonard was still wearing sunglasses to cover them, neither his demeanor nor his aura was completely different.
Luke's heart is full of doubts, and he also suspects Lyn.
Upon seeing this, Lyn's face darkened slightly. "I know what you're thinking, but it wasn't me who healed his eyes. Besides, I ate with him at the Adlers' house yesterday, and he couldn't see at all. If he's really healed, how could he let the servant feed him? Luke, why are you worrying like that? Can't you see that Lawrence was still holding his hand when he went upstairs?"
After hearing this, Luke forcefully suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and raised his hand to pull the rabbit fur on Lyn's mask. "I hope what you said is the truth. If not, I will make sure that you also help me give him the medicine that blinded him. Don't expect me to fall alone."
Lyn suddenly backed away, and as they moved away from each other, she gritted her teeth and raved, "Luke, you are really shameless! You betrayed me first…"
"Well, there's no point in us talking more. Lyn, I hope what you say is true!"
Luke interrupted Lyn's words, laughed and turned around, then immediately disappeared into the crowd.
Even though Lyn was furious at the moment, she didn't dare to speak.
She looked around, corrected her attitude, and walked over to the flock of her friends on the other side.
As everyone knew, the two of them had a covert conversation, but their conversation caught the ears of Mellisa who was not far behind them.
It turned out that Leonard was pretending to be blind because Luke was trying to do something with him!
What a despicable brother!
Melissa leaned against the pillar next to the hall, her pretty face cold, and she couldn't help but grip her plate tighter.
At the same time, beside the guardrail on the second floor, Lawrence leaned against the railing and shook the wine glass in his hand.
After that, he looked sideways at Leonard, and followed his gaze towards the guests downstairs. "Can I take it as you don't want to cover up your situation anymore?"
Leonard held the railing with both hands, his hands gripping tightly. His gaze locked onto the figure of the woman in the silver-grey dress downstairs. "Wouldn't it be more fun to confuse your enemy with my situation?"
Lawrence laughed a little. "I think Luke is panicking right now. I was even surprised to see you come. By the way, where did you get the invitation from? I remember when my sister sent the invitation, I didn't prepare your share at all!"
To Lawrence's question, Leonard didn't answer.
Leonard looked down at the female figure below, and a stream of light flashed through his eyes. "Who is it?"
Even though this person hadn't appeared for a long time, that extremely familiar figure didn't seem to be a member of the seven families.
Lawrence saw the same scene and looked confused. "I don't know, today's invite list was made by my sister. If you want to know, I can ask her."
"No need!" When the words fell, Leonard was already walking.
Lawrence looked at his back in surprise. "Uh, what are you doing?"
"Dance!"
Lawrence. "???"
He turned and looked at Leonard walking down the spiral staircase. The man's figure approached a woman in a fox mask, and so Lawrence's eyes immediately filled with interest.
...
In the downstairs lobby, Mellisa was always pacing alone.
As she paused once in a while, she took in her surroundings.
The younger generations of these seven major families seemed to have a good relationship with each other, but in fact they had a small group personally.
Such a relationship could be seen between David and Reza, the man who greeted her earlier.
Mellisa is good at observing, she remembers all this. And after watching for a while, she plans to find a place to rest.
At this time, the banquet hall was filled with frenzy, and there were people doing pole dancing on the stage. The atmosphere was very lively.
Mellisa looked around and saw that the seat on the right was already full of guests. She didn't want to look flashy, so she thought about going out for a while.
She put the dinner plate in her hand, and when she turned around, she unexpectedly collided with a man who was passing by.
Mellisa straightened her figure, and spoke without rushing.. "Sorry."
