Cole glanced at Wendy, then sighed, considering her condition. “As long as you’re happy, that’s allthat matters. The banquet’s about to start. You and your sister Phoebe should get ready.”

Cole then glanced at the silent Phoebe, and his gaze unconsciously grew cold. “You’ll be going withWendy! You better behave yourself there. You know what kind of party it is. The Alonso family hasbeen taking care of you for years, and now’s the time to show some gratitude. If you can’t replace asuitable man at this party, I will…”

“You’ll marry me off to that fool from P City, right?”

Cole paused, surprised at Phoebe’s harsh words. He’d never thought the usually quiet and obedientPhoebe would talk to him like this. “What kind of nonsense are you talking about?!”

Phoebe smirked coldly, making the atmosphere a bit awkward. Wendy jumped in “Phoebe, howcould you talk to our father like that, don’t you know how hard he’s been working?”

“Yeah, Dad’s been working hard, but who put him in this situation?”

Phoebe’s words left Wendy speechless. “Phoebe, it seems you have a big misunderstanding ofme…”

“A misunderstanding?” Phoebe scoffed.

“Enough! What are you two squabbling about?!” Cole, sensing that Phoebe might have had more tosay, cut their conversation short. “The banquet is about to start, aren’t you going to get ready? I’mwarning you, don’t cause any more trouble, or I’ll teach you a lesson!”

He left after saying that; leaving Wendy and Phoebe in silence.

“Phoebe, it seems you’re not taking me seriously anymore…

Phoebe suddenly grabbed the wheelchair and spun Wendy around. Wendy almost fell off thewheelchair. “Phoebe you…”

“Do you think you’re worth anyone’s attention right now?” Phoebe pushed the wheelchair towardsthe banquet hall after saying that.

“Phoebe, are you trying to get yourself killed?”

“Heh,” Phoebe scoffed. “Isn’t it more cruel and painful to live than to die?”

Her voice was calm, and her eyes were devoid of emotion, but that made her even more terrifying.

Wendy, sitting in the wheelchair, couldn’t see Phoebe’s expression, and just scoffed in response,“Right, you’re absolutely correct. Wait and see, I’m really curious to see if Chloe, that bitch, is livinga life worse than death.”

“You never learn, do you?” Phoebe retorted.

“Phoebe, I’m in a good mood right now, so I won’t argue with you. You better behave tonight, or youmight end up marrying that fool from P City.”

“I’ll be looking forward to it.”

After that, the two stopped talking.

Phoebe, in a white dress that reached her ankles, with her natural hair simply tied in a side braid,looked fresh and graceful. Her beauty was eye–catching, but not out of place in that setting.

When Phoebe pushed Wendy into the banquet hall, the whole place fell silent.

Today’s venue was next to yesterday’s state banquet hall, equally luxurious. Everyone was dressedto the nines. The dazzling chandeliers were casting a golden glow over the guests sipping from theirwine glasses, mingling, and laughing, high society in full swing.

Seeing the atmosphere in the banquet hall, Wendy knew that this was the real high society.Although she had attended so–called high society gatherings before, they paled in comparison to aroyal banquet. The people here were undoubtedly from influential families, all descendants ofprominent families.

Wendy smiled, realizing her naivety. She had always thought that the Harper family’s backgroundwas unrivaled. But it seemed that any man her age here was from a family no less prestigious thanthe Harpers. Even if some were less prestigious, how much less could they be?

“Maybe I don’t need to fixate on one person. There may be better men in the world than Damon.”Wendy said with hope to Phoebe behind her.

“Really? Then I sincerely hope you can replace a man better than Mr. Harper tonight.”

Wendy smiled.

Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd.

Barbara appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall in a pure white dress, with a unique one–shoulder design, half–exposing her memorizing shoulder. The asymmetrical hem of the dress, herwavy hair, and matching diamond jewelry all showed off her noble and Juxurious appeal. Thedazzling tiara on her head fully displayed her royal status.

Barbara’s entrance, with her fragrance wafting and her skirt swaying, immediately drew everyone’sattention.

Most people would tend to forgive someone’s past wrongdoings when they saw how beautiful theywere, even temporarily forgetting their past errors. Just like now, the person appearing ineveryone’s eyes was the most prestigious Princess Barbara of Y Country.

Voices of admiration rose and fell, and Barbara’s smile was full of confidence.

Not long after her appearance, other members of the royal family began to arrive. Wendy’s gazewas immediately drawn to a man, as were the gazes of most women in the room. Mathew, in awhite suit, walked out expressionlessly. His face, coupled with his aura, made him look extremelyhandsome and dignified.

“That’s Prince Mathew. He is really handsome,” someone commented.

“He’s royal blood, high up on the ladder, and seriously hot, like a real–life Prince Charming!”

“Who knows what kind of woman he’s into…”

All the men were drawn to Barbara, and practically all the women had their eyes glued on Mathew.But in that moment, no one had the guts to make the first move and approach their dream prince.

Wendy turned her head, suddenly saying, “Let’s go hit him up.” Of course, she was referring toMathew.
