Chapter 1200: Chapter 1197: The Live Spring Palace Is Just an Excuse
This man isn’t foolish, nothing can escape his discerning eyes, especially observing the reactions of these women.
I’m afraid that little woman really drank too much... and then...
He didn’t dare to continue thinking.
"Move aside." He spoke, his tone was as cold as frost, bone-chilling.
"Mr. President, you better not go down there, who knows how many people have gathered there now." The woman was still embellishing, "It’s already happened. Your presence won’t change anything... that woman..."
"That’s enough." He wouldn’t allow anyone to speak of her that way, even though she was merely a pretend Young Madam, she was truly his woman, his woman.
Thus, Lucas Knight looked over coldly: "Move aside!"
"Mr. President..." The women, frightened by his overwhelming chill, retreated, tactfully making way, watching eagerly as the man descended the stairs.
He was so aloof and abstinent, unparalleled in his nobility, even his silhouette was so gallant.
He’s the kind of man that makes a woman want to leap into his arms with just one glance.

Time rewinds to half an hour earlier.
Isabel Grant and a few wealthy ladies left together. Only after the matron departed did Eva Nightingale retrieve her gaze, only to unexpectedly bump into Ava Morgan and her group.
With Ava Morgan were current rising starlets Daphne Lewis, Evelyn, and some other ladies from prestigious families, but Eva didn’t recognize any of them.
In her memory, the Sovereign Empire was a completely new place, especially this Lan Bay Courtyard, Eva had no recollections of it whatsoever.
"Let’s go taste the wine in the garden."
"Young Madam, won’t you join us?"
Several women looked at Eva; most of them weren’t very familiar with her, but given three years had passed, and because of Eva’s noble status now, they dared not gossip carelessly, only silently observing this familiar sight.
"I..." Eva Nightingale wasn’t particularly interested in mingling with these wealthy heiresses. But who knew, they were exceptionally enthusiastic, grabbing Eva and saying, "You’re the Young Madam of Lan Bay Courtyard, the woman the whole family respects, surely you have excellent taste in wine!"
"Let’s go, let’s go!"
Eva, wearing her eight-centimeter crystal high heels, was already being led forward several steps, and having no other option, she could only follow them to the garden to taste wine.
In the garden, a stage was set up with colorful spotlight beams.
Both sides of the stage were spraying beautiful bubbles.
The key point was, around the stage was clear, azure water, rumored to be brought in from a distant place, crystal clear, and flowing.
"Wow, it looks like there are little goldfish in the water." Several heiresses had their attention fixed on the water.
Upon hearing this, Eva looked over...
Her leg trembled inadvertently, immediately feeling her vision blur.
She was terrified of water.
This water appeared to be over a meter deep, with blue jade and pebbles faintly visible at the bottom. Most people just found it beautiful, but seeing it made Eva feel very... dizzy.
"Are you okay!" Ella quickly supported Eva, "Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell?"
"Mm... I’m fine."
Ella was still worried: "Let me help you to a bench to sit for a bit." Saying this, she helped Eva to a nearby seat.
Eva’s palms were sweating, that pitch-black night three years ago had inevitably become her nightmare.
She looked at Ella, whose off-shoulder white gown was as pristine as snow, her skin fair as snow, her figure graceful, adorned with limited edition luxury jewelry on her neck and hands.
