Elvin spoke with provocative sincerity. Only Diane Huffman among the crowd believed his half–joking words.
Diane knew Blair and Elvin were at odds, yet being praised by Elvin sent waves of excitement through her.
She even wondered if his lingering gaze meant he’d been captivated by her beauty.
Rumors about Elvin had reached her ears.
Earning his extra attention made her heart flutter uncontrollably.
She had to admit–Elvin was no less impressive than Blair.
But winning Elvin’s affection would feel like a greater triumph.
After all, Blair only had eyes for Bianca Watts, while Elvin was… different.
Diane even fantasized about taming Elvin’s wandering heart–wouldn’t that prove her charm surpassed most?
Elvin had merely glanced at her, yet Diane’s mind spun entire dramas.
Lost in these imaginary scenarios, she blushed without anyone noticing.
Blair brushed off Elvin’s remarks. He grasped Diane’s wrist, saying: “Let’s head in. I’ll introduce you to some medical luminaries.”

Diane snapped back to reality, murmuring: “Ah, alright.”
After they entered, Graham approached Elvin, chuckling: “You may have many women, Elvin, but not all are easily won. At the very least, Diane–you’ll never have her.”
Graham looked so certain that Elvin laughed.
“Graham, so sure of yourself?
What?
Are you Diane’s dog?”
Graham’s face instantly turned pale. He said angrily, “Elvin, stop being so fucking arrogant.”
Elvin raised his chin, looking down arrogantly: “You think you’re worthy to challenge me?”
Graham angrily wanted to throw a punch, but Rudolph grabbed him: “Graham, calm down. This is Uncle Lee’s birthday banquet.”
If he fought with Elvin, Graham naturally wouldn’t gain any advantage.
Knowing this well, Graham stopped making a fuss. He angrily waved his sleeve: “Let’s go.”
Elijah withdrew his gaze from Bianca behind Elvin. He followed Graham and Rudolph into the gate of Lee Manor House.
When entering the gate, Elijah looked back again at Bianca. He curled his lips and said coldly: “Interesting.”
This was the second time Elijah saw Bianca. He thought she was not only beautiful, but also seemed to be his type.

When Blair divorced her, he might appear in time to comfort her broken heart.
When he got tired of playing, he could just kick her away.
Thinking of these, Elijah became inexplicably more excited.
After the annoying group entered Lee Manor House, Elvin turned to look at Bianca. He asked softly: “You okay?”
Bianca’s face showed no emotion. She shook her head: “I’m fine.”
Seeing her indifferent expression, Elvin felt relieved.
Noticing her struggling in high heels, he grabbed her hand and tucked it into his arm. He commanded: “Hold my arm.
Bianca didn’t refuse. She gently held his arm: “Okay.”
After entering Lee Manor House, a huge lawn came into view. Tables and chairs covered the grass, piled with fruits and cupcakes.
Besides food, there was champagne, red wine, drinks…
Guests crowded everywhere, all ages mingling.
Bianca knew few people, so she avoided socializing.
Not seeing Blair’s group eased her mind.
Elvin sat with her in a corner, fetching various fruits and cakes until her plate overflowed.
Bianca stared at the mountain of food, turning to Elvin with a frown: “Think I’m a pig?”

Elvin smiled: “Just try everything.”
Bianca knew he meant well: “Thank you.”
Elvin was about to speak when a voice called from behind: “Boss?”
Tonight’s banquet sounded like a birthday party, but really, it was where people networked with the powerful.
With Elvin’s status, many naturally wanted to curry favor.
Elvin turned to the newcomer with a faint smile: “Hello.”
The man hastily raised his glass to clink: “Boss, long admired you. This toast is for you.”
