Ariel Morris gave a curious look at the middle-aged woman in front of her and secretly pinched Arlo Seys’s arm. Arlo looked at her, understood her confusion, and calmly introduced, "This is Madam Saxton, and these two are Miss Susan Saxton and Young Master Howard Saxton."
After Arlo finished the introduction, his gaze deepened.
Judging by Ariel and Kylie’s reactions, they didn’t recognize each other? Although Ariel wasn’t a biological mber of the Morris Family, she was still nominally their niece! What’s going on?
Howard, standing nearby, couldn’t keep his eyes off Ariel. Her charming smile, pure and sweet deanor, and unadorned face were leagues better than any won he had played around with before! It made his heart itch.
Ariel smiled as she greeted them, then turned to Arlo and spoke softly, "Arlo, go and entertain the guests; I’ll find sothing to eat, I’m hungry."
Arlo affectionately patted her head and replied gently, "Go on, have so fruit, but don’t eat too many sweets. Once the banquet begins, there will be lots of delicious food."
Ariel nodded, slightly bowing her head toward the three Saxton guests before leaving.
Having had enough of the lovey-dovey and tense atmosphere, she now just wanted to find sothing to eat to fill her suddenly larger appetite!
After Ariel left, Arlo casually said "Feel free" to Kylie, Susan, and Howard before turning and walking away.
Kylie remained in a daze even after Arlo left, while Susan, watching Arlo’s departing figure with yearning, couldn’t help but mutter, "How can such an excellent man already have a wife?"
Howard had a wicked smile on his lips, as he scanned the venue searching for that beautiful figure from before, "Being able to wed such a beauty, who cares about ending singlehood?"
Susan shot a glance at her brother, "She’s a married woman, stop dreaming! You’ll only bring trouble on yourself! Don’t you realize whose woman that is? Even thinking about Young Madam Seys—be careful or you’ll end up dead!"
Howard was unbothered, "Why should the Saxton Family fear the Seys Family!"
Kylie, brought back to her senses by their argunt, glared at her son, "You dare to provoke the Seys Family! I warn you, Howard, don’t ss with them! They’re a prominent political family, the top family in City C! Not soone our Saxton Family can recklessly challenge! If sothing happens, neither your father nor I can protect you! In terms of power, the Seys Family holds renowned positions in politics. As for wealth, Arlo’s Era and his maternal Quinn Family are not to be underestimated!"
Howard waved his hand dismissively, "Yeah, yeah, I know! Stop nagging! I’m off to chat with so of the young masters, you find the madams and socialites to play with!"
He couldn’t believe that at such a grand banquet there wouldn’t be attractive socialites around! As the popular young master of the Saxton Family, his charisma was irresistible, and he would find a few socialites to chat about life with...
Ariel was at the fruit and dessert area, choosing her favorite snacks, when she sensed a figure following her movents. Biting into a dessert, she turned around to look.
"Oh, it’s you, Madam Saxton." Ariel paused for a mont, a bit surprised upon seeing the notable lady Arlo had introduced her to earlier, and greeted with a smile.
Kylie found herself montarily lost in Ariel’s smile once again.
Ever since eting this Young Madam Seys, Ariel Morris, she had been restless and uneasy. That’s why she searched around the banquet, and upon seeing Ariel alone, choosing food, she didn’t hesitate to approach her.
"Your last na is Morris; are you Damien Morris’s daughter?" Kylie asked, looking at Ariel, unable to suppress her curiosity.
She hadn’t returned to City C for years and only knew her brother had adopted a daughter, but she’d never t her. She had t her brother’s biological daughter, Scarlett Morris, because Scarlett had once visited City T with her brother.
