Lily Gray was speechless by Joan Wellington’s words.

Just as she thought to ask for clarification, Dylan Wellington suddenly spoke up.

“Sister-in-law, tonight’s charity dinner party is hosted by the Wellington family. For the opening dance later on, I just happen to be short of a dance partner. How about you keep me company for the opening dance, sister-in-law?”

Dylan leaned against the sofa, his black pupils landing on Lily Gray’s face, the smile at the corner of his lips carrying a trace of evil.

Lily Gray was stunned by Dylan’s proposal, and just when she wanted to refuse, Joan Wellington had already jumped up.

“Brother, how can you invite her to be your opening dance partner… Didn’t we agree that 1 would be the one to dance with you for the opening?”

Moreover, this woman is still Brother Ethan’s wife, at least in name.

Joan Wellington didn’t want to acknowledge Lily Gray’s status as Mrs. Lucas, so she held back this sentence and didn’t say it out loud.

“Yeah, Mr. Wellington, let Miss Wellington be your dance partner.”

Dylan playfully raised his seductive eyes, “Sister-in-law, you called me wrong again. If you call me wrong next time, the Wellington family might not be able to continue cooperating with the Gray family.”

Lily Gray shivered at Dylan’s sinister gaze.

Thinking of the cooperation between the Gray and Wellington families, she could only grit her teeth and say: “lan… it’s better for you to dance the opening dance with Miss Wellington.”

“Ethan is not around. It’s only right for me to take care of my sister-in-law on his behalf.”

Dylan’s smile deepened as he heard her change her address, “Joan, don’t make any fuss.”

No matter how big Joan’s temper was, she did not dare to be presumptuous when Dylan’s face turned cold.

“Hmph… dance if you want to dance. I don’t care about you two!”

Joan Wellington held her breath and glared at Lily Gray, picked up her skirt, and ran out.

With Joan Wellington gone in anger, even if Lily Gray didn’t want to dance, she had no choice but to go ahead.

At the charity dinner party scene, guests gradually arrived.

Among the elegant ladies and gentlemen, Zara Lucas, dressed in a black lace semi-transparent evening gown, was surrounded by a group of socialite ladies and looked right at home.

Although Zara Lucas was Brandon Lucas’ illegitimate daughter, Michelle Carter was now already a legitimate mistress. Furthermore, Zara had the Lucas surname.

In A City, anyone related to the Lucas family was considered a touch more prestigious than a regular wealthy family.

Zara Lucas, as Miss Lucas, attracted the pursuit of numerous people from ordinary wealthy families.

“Miss Lucas… your skin is really good. How do you usually maintain it? I’m genuinely envious!”

“Zara, the emerald jewelry you’re wearing must be very expensive… it looks like Emperor’s green, must be worth a fortune!”

“Of course, Zara is Miss Lucas. The Lucas family has no idea how many good things they have… This necklace is clearly extraordinary.”

Zara Lucas was the center of attention among the socialite ladies, just like the moon surrounded by the stars.

She knew that her brother had been doing very well in business recently.

Austin Lucas had resolved the crisis faced by Concord Group a while ago. Besides, with his handsome and extraordinary looks, there were already numerous families extending olive branches to the Lucas family, wishing to get married to Austin.

“Flehe, this is nothing… As you all know, our Lucas family is an old and established family… These little things are in abundance. If it wasn’t for attending this dinner party, I usually don’t like wearing these. They’re especially heavy and feel so cumbersome, my neck is sore from wearing them.”

The emerald necklace Zara Lucas wore around her neck was adorned with numerous dazzling small diamonds, and at the bottom hung an emerald the size of a goose egg.

The emerald was so green that it seemed as though water was about to drip from it.

Even under the brilliant lights of the banquet hall, the emerald necklace on her neck still couldn’t hide its extravagant splendor..
