Caden Lockwood shot Julian Keaton a glare, resisting the urge to land a few bruises on his annoying face.
"Is it unnecessary?" Julian continued to probe, "You should trust my ability to handle things, right?"
"Yes." Caden’s eyes narrowed slightly. Seeing Julian’s interested expression, he added, "You can go back, quickly and smoothly."
With that, Caden Lockwood strode back into the banquet hall.
Watching Caden’s retreating figure, Julian Keaton laughed so hard his stomach hurt.
Just thinking about the forthcoming drama made him eager to fast forward to the most exciting mont.
Since childhood, he had never seen Caden Lockwood so stirred up and eager for a showdown.
He thoroughly enjoyed watching the spectacle.
Standing up straight, he too made his way to the banquet hall...
Evelyn Morgan was frantic. She rushed towards the banquet hall as soon as she got out of the car, and upon pushing open the door, she was stunned by the scene before her.
The n in the banquet hall were all suited up, and the won were elegantly dressed, making the place look dazzlingly luxurious at first glance.
Evelyn took two steps back, montarily thinking she had co to the wrong place.
This seed like a highly upscale event!
But then she thought, everything Caden Lockwood ate, used, and stayed in was top-notch,
It was entirely plausible for him to attend such a banquet!
Her hands clenched into fists unconsciously as she scanned the room, but there was no sign of Caden Lockwood.
Her sudden appearance, however, drew the attention of quite a few people.
Her outfit was simple—a white T-shirt and blue overalls, and her pure, innocent gaze made her look even younger, evoking a sense of pity.
Eleanor Keaton, sharp-eyed, saw Evelyn push the door open and a flicker of hatred crossed her eyes.
Unbelievable!
Brother Caden actually brought Evelyn Morgan here?
Today, she must beco a part of the Lockwood Family as she wished!
She would beco Caden Lockwood’s rightful wife!
She would push aside anyone who tried to obstruct her, confronting gods and slaying demons alike!
Eleanor Keaton moved closer to Evelyn, each step exuding a proud aura.
Everyone attending the banquet knew—The Lockwood Family was going to announce the candidate for Caden Lockwood’s wife.
This banquet was, essentially, an engagent party.
However, no one knew who the lucky person would be.
According to rumors, Eleanor Keaton was the most probable choice.
Being regarded by everyone as "Mrs. Lockwood," she naturally attracted attention wherever she went.
Evelyn had just pulled out her phone, intending to call Caden Lockwood, when she saw Eleanor Keaton walking towards her.
Knowing Eleanor wouldn’t let her off easily, Evelyn simply put her phone back in her pocket, waiting for the trouble Eleanor would bring.
"Evelyn Morgan, you and Cecilia Lynch have been best friends for years! Your bond is like sisters, right?" Eleanor Keaton asked with a smile.
Eleanor, dressed ticulously today in a purple gown that accentuated her curves, looked especially beautiful and alluring.
"What do you want?" Evelyn frowned, glaring at Eleanor with determination, "If you have any grievances, just co at !"
"I intended to co at you." Eleanor’s lips curled into a slight smile, "But after thinking it over, I realized that targeting Cecilia Lynch would please even more!"
"Eleanor Keaton!" Evelyn stepped forward, "If you dare touch Cece, I’ll ensure you won’t have it easy either!"
"With just you?" Eleanor taunted, her gaze condescending.
"You can’t compete with ." Eleanor declared directly, "However, if you serve well today, I’ll spare her. Otherwise, she won’t get another gig this lifeti! I an what I say, so don’t doubt my capability!"
