Chapter 2010: Chapter 482: Mutual Torment, No Rest Until Death (Part 5)
The tone was somewhat arrogant.
As the heir to the Mayfair Family, he indeed had the capital to be arrogant. Even the Queen of Country Y had to show some respect to the head of the Mayfair Family.
Neo’s smile remained unchanged as he said with a smile, "I am Neo. Has Mr. Junior Muffy never heard of my name?"
"It does ring a bell. Are you some duke of Country Y?"
"Yes, precisely." Neo’s smile was modest.
"Oh." Allen looked somewhat disinterested as he glanced toward the doorway, his eyes suddenly lighting up.
Following his gaze, Neo saw a woman in a form-fitting red dress. Her figure was curvaceous and alluring, easily stirring a man’s desire. Her hair was a cascade of golden waves, and her face was delicate and charming, with eyes that could captivate any soul.
She was a woman more enchanting than a fairy.
The woman walked in holding a man’s arm. The man was dressed in a suit and appeared elegant and gentlemanly; the two made a striking couple.
Allen whistled lightly, seeming a bit frivolous, "What a beauty."
Neo’s eyes showed a hint of contempt. The Mayfair Family indeed seemed to be declining, with the future heir being of such character.
"That’s Miss Xi Lin from the Heize Family, and the man beside her is Mr. Edward’s younger son, Lemp." As he said this, his brows furrowed slightly.
The Heize Family has always supported Sangque, but how could Miss Xi Lin be with the son of Sangque’s political opponent?
Allen stroked his chin, eyes filled with interest, "I wonder if that Princess is as beautiful as Miss Xi Lin."
Neo chuckled softly, "There’s naturally no comparison." In fact, there was no comparison at all; as the image of that face flashed through his mind, the sensation of being moved was still very apparent.
Unfortunately, he sighed inwardly.
Allen glanced at him, "What, have you seen that Princess?"
Neo shook his head with a smile, "For Lorde to give up on the Heize Family, how beautiful do you think she could be?"
Allen puckered his lips, "Lorde’s blessed without a doubt."
Xi Lin looked at the luxurious venue, her eyes deeply reflective.
She was supposed to be the main character of this banquet, but everything... was taken away by that woman who appeared out of nowhere.
Lemp glanced at her sideways, curling his lips, "Don’t forget what you promised me."
"That’s precisely what I want to say to you."
The two exchanged a glance, both curling their lips.
"Xi Lin." Anna smiled as she walked over, glancing at Lemp. Lemp smiled, "You two talk." With that, he walked into the crowd, engaging in familiar conversation.
"How did you end up with him?" Anna asked with a frown.
Xi Lin smiled, "We simply take what we need from each other."
"You..." Anna looked at her in shock, "Looks like you’ve got a plan."
Xi Lin glanced around, lowering her voice, "Anna, I’m not willing."
Anna gave her a look, "I understand how you feel, but based on what I know about that Princess, we can’t act recklessly right now. Let’s wait and see. It’s only an engagement, not a marriage; you’ll still have opportunities, it’s not urgent today."
Xi Lin let out a cold laugh, "If there’s no opportunity today, there will never be another."
Xi Lin was extremely stubborn; once she decided on something, no one could stop her.
Anna sighed, hoping today would pass peacefully.
A car stopped at the back entrance of the hotel, and Yun Ya came to the second-floor room through a special passage. It was being used as a temporary rest area before the ceremony officially began, where Yun Ya was resting temporarily.
Lorde escorted Yun Ya to the room’s entrance, speaking in a low voice, "I’ll come to get you later."
Yun Ya nodded slightly, exchanging a glance, then turned and entered the room.
Gan Wei’er glanced at Lorde, then followed Yun Ya inside.
Four bodyguards guarded the door; not even a fly could get in.
Lorde stood at the door, glanced at the closed room door, then turned and left with large strides.
"Princess, please have something to eat to cushion your stomach. These are delivered specially by Young Master Lorde, just in case you go hungry." Hongxin opened the food box, revealing exquisitely made dim sum inside.
Yun Ya gave it a glance and said calmly, "Just put it there."
Hongxin poured a cup of tea and placed it beside Yun Ya, speaking softly, "The time is approaching; Princess, please change your clothes."
Gan Wei’er sat there quietly, almost as if she didn’t exist.
Yun Ya suddenly clutched her stomach, her face pale, and Hongxin immediately worried, "Princess..."
"My stomach hurts..." The tone was already quite strained, as if she was in great pain.
Hongxin was secretly anxious; if anything happened to the Princess at this point, her master would definitely not forgive her. "Princess, please wait. I’ll go get a doctor right away."
