Then they saw Roxanne Sutton wearing a floor-length black strapless gown.
Most people present did not know Roxanne Sutton, but the Dalton Family and the Blanchett Family did recognize her.
Seeing Roxanne Sutton appear suddenly, and at such a crucial mont, the expressions of the Dalton Family and Blanchett Family mbers were not very good.
Catherine Blanchett’s expression turned even more grim.
She muttered under her breath, "How could this woman appear at this ti?!"
Sidney Dalton also didn’t expect the long-missing Roxanne Sutton to reappear.
He glanced at Catherine Blanchett, whose face had changed suddenly, eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Calm down."
Sidney Dalton softly and coolly reprimanded her.
In his view, Roxanne Sutton coming alone was rely because she was dissatisfied with her past experiences, intending to disrupt the engagent between the Dalton and Blanchett Families.
Even though he didn’t know how she managed to get in, she was just an orphan, and even if she was determined to go all out, she couldn’t stir up much under the suppression of the Dalton and Blanchett Families.
Moreover, the alliance between the Dalton and Blanchett Families was already a matter set in stone and could not be disrupted by Roxanne Sutton’s appearance.
Seeing the reprimand and warning in Sidney Dalton’s eyes, Catherine Blanchett slightly gritted her teeth, reluctantly collecting her expression.
Roxanne Sutton looked around the room, finally resting her gaze for a mont on the corner where Selena Kensington and the others were, then withdrew her gaze.
She continued to speak unhurriedly, "Why not let it be more lively..."
With Roxanne Sutton’s words, the people at the scene finally reacted.
They gradually began to whisper among themselves.
"Who is this woman, why is she wearing that to a betrothal banquet..."
"Her outfit is so ominous, anyone would think she’s here for revenge..."
"Her face looks sowhat familiar, is she a celebrity?"
"... Now that you ntion it, I rember that Second Young Master Dalton had a girlfriend in the entertainnt industry before, what was her na?"
"Roxanne Sutton! Could this woman be Roxanne Sutton?!"
"Oh my God, how did she get in..."
As people continued their discussions, so gradually realized Roxanne Sutton’s identity.
All at once, a look of intrigue appeared on the faces of so socialites and young nobles.
They didn’t expect to stumble upon a scene where an ex shows up to crash the party.
They were quite interested in seeing how the Dalton Family and Blanchett Family would handle this situation.
After Roxanne Sutton spoke, her eyes fixed directly on Sidney Dalton and Catherine Blanchett.
As she saw the two about to exchange rings, a hint of mockery flashed in Roxanne Sutton’s eyes.
anwhile, the Blanchett and Dalton Families had already instructed the waiter to co over.
"Miss, this is Mr. Dalton and Miss Blanchett’s engagent banquet, please leave."
Roxanne Sutton slightly shifted her gaze, looking at Catherine Blanchett who eyed her warily, and suddenly let out a snort of laughter.
"Why, I ca in with an invitation, are you trying to kick out now?"
With Roxanne Sutton’s words, Catherine Blanchett instinctively retorted, "Impossible! You’re lying!"
Perhaps Roxanne Sutton’s appearance sowhat upset Catherine Blanchett, amplifying her bad premonition.
So, her voice rose a bit when she said this.
All at once, people in the banquet hall exchanged bewildered looks.
Sidney Dalton also displayed a flicker of irritation due to Catherine Blanchett’s rash remark.
Roxanne Sutton moved her gaze from the waiter to Catherine Blanchett, who was staring tightly at her.
She began to laugh slowly, her laughter vibrant and captivating.
"Oh? Why is it impossible?"
"I, after all, was Mr. Dalton’s companion for several years..."
Roxanne Sutton spoke these words unperturbed by the crowd’s gaze.
Imdiately, everyone in the banquet hall instinctively looked at Sidney Dalton.
Having secret lovers is not uncommon in wealthy families, and since Sidney Dalton cut ties with Roxanne Sutton before arranging the engagent with Catherine Blanchett, the Blanchett Family wouldn’t bla him.
But for an abandoned secret lover to show up so brazengly at the financier’s engagent banquet, that was indeed rare.
Seeing Roxanne Sutton’s smiling deanor, Catherine Blanchett suddenly cald down.
Regardless, Roxanne Sutton could not triumph over her alone.
Since she could tornt Roxanne Sutton to the point of losing face before, she could certainly make her a loser again today.
"Miss Sutton, it’s not good to bring up the past. After all, in the end, it’s your face that was damaged."
"But if you’re here to see how happy Axiu and I are together, of course, we welco you."
A calm Catherine Blanchett had restored herself to her previous state.
Chin slightly raised, she spoke to Roxanne Sutton as if granting her a favor.
Seeing Catherine Blanchett return to her previous arrogant deanor of a noble daughter, Selena Kensington gave a slight smile.
She had anticipated this.
Catherine Blanchett would never allow herself to show weakness in front of Roxanne Sutton.
In Catherine Blanchett’s mind, Roxanne Sutton was perpetually only worthy of shining her shoes.
Even as Roxanne Sutton heard Catherine Blanchett’s words, along with the arrogant and condescending look on her face, Roxanne Sutton wasn’t embarrassed or angry.
On the contrary, her smile widened.
"My face?"
She repeated Catherine Blanchett’s words.
After finishing that sentence, she abruptly changed her tone, "Since I ca here today, I didn’t intend to care about my face."
As Roxanne Sutton finished speaking, she walked forward step by step.
The socialites and young nobles who were originally in front gave way one after another.
Through this path, Roxanne Sutton could quickly make her way to Sidney Dalton and Catherine Blanchett.
"However, I’ve co to wish you both a happy engagent."
Roxanne Sutton stopped not far from Catherine Blanchett.
"..."
Hearing Roxanne Sutton’s words, those present were sowhat puzzled.
Who would co to congratulate soone else’s engagent dressed so inauspiciously?
However, Catherine Blanchett beca alert instantly.
She didn’t believe that Roxanne Sutton was truly there to extend congratulations; surely, she must have sothing else up her sleeve.
anwhile, as Roxanne Sutton said those words, the Dalton patriarch and Patriarch Blanchett had already sensed sothing amiss, and to prevent any trouble, Patriarch Blanchett began giving instructions to a nearby waiter.
Alongside, Samuel Dalton, upon seeing Roxanne Sutton appear, understood that this was the ’good show’ Selena Kensington wanted him to see.
He spoke playfully as he noticed Patriarch Blanchett giving instructions to a waiter.
"No rush; what if she brought a present?"
With those words, Roxanne Sutton’s voice could be heard.
"Incidentally, I brought a little gift for both of you."
"..."
Listening to Roxanne Sutton, Samuel Dalton montarily fell silent.
He had rely said it offhand, not expecting it to be true.
