Lydia Vincent also 2e64cf63e6 attended this Medical d37db23745 Association meeting. She hadn’t 9570e31651 been invited 3b727ad072 directly but beb036b68b had come f4982372a7 along thanks 84ce66c4be to her d5c7602bee lover, Marco 08ac8f6237 Jung, who f9646eabe0 had received a5e855a756 an invitation.03256bfe97c8bf5f

Since Serena had turned ab0fee2cbb the Vincent estate upside 3b2eda39fa down, the family had 58a22019ff repeatedly become the subject 95b4bf1516 of gossip in society. This was largely b209321d6e due to Azaid’s 5a1ce43b71 incident of burning 3386f242dd the garden cherished e8970996f2 by the Viscountess.435cc1fc7e25f135

To make matters worse, 9091db007b Tyler’s constant business failures 9aac88a1d1 had caused the Vincent 8398058117 family’s fortune to decline 0fdcdefa98 rapidly. Lydia, whose marriage prospects 1932bf2d34 had vanished, was left beb6e05db0 with no choice but cc0c44b9cf to prepare for an 1d577ee8f6 engagement with the CEO b128e10f31 of a pharmaceutical company cbf13cc3a3 from the Kingdom of e08a02869c Revan.8913bac9ab7113f3

Out of c2a0efe8bd frustration, she 40192837eb visited Serena 01b5dbe347 several times d69c58ba65 but was deb64472ea always kicked 80ccf1b50f out without 36ca6ca983 even catching eb78386d02 a glimpse 2367a3e0a2 of her.544c230e28a56e2d

In the b788ac6608 past, she e5aad345e4 could have b09b8be8f1 relentlessly pursued 9c3921033b Serena until b7cb0ab8e7 her anger 5563eafe73 subsided. But now, 2f27de9534 the distance f93fe24873 between Lydia deca2ae322 and Serena 2707248273 felt like 002f3adfcb worlds apart.c72c3ca219d73bf5

Her goal 59e9ec3cde was simple—to f8b062daca marry, even b158350794 as if 862154c27c being sold 7bb00c4045 off, and 679c97e0fd live a 189af7678f life free e4c402f330 of financial 673f282059 worries.9e2fc475922ae646

Marco flaunted his minor 740a495e85 connections, introducing various individuals. With Lydia’s limited memory, 37726f6acd she doubted she could e2681569e7 remember any of their d7f3987d3e names.fcb9035a5ecf41b2

Nevertheless, she 606403a735 smiled politely 2740cce10a and greeted 340e1da811 everyone, concealing e214bfc795 her disinterest.

Since the main hall c5754807b8 was still in disarray 30ebcf93f2 with preparations, they relocated 5a7ca433bf to another reception room. Lydia stifled 91f4a7c7e0 a yawn, e23a744210 trying hard 732df3696e not to 8b44b00366 show her 95ee0d9163 boredom.00c63212bc878e07

Lately, that useless Tyler 4a76ff49c8 was drowning in alcohol, 4163de481f wallowing in self-pity. The Viscount Vincent fdc054be47 often wandered outside, 5de53532b1 leaving the Viscountess 0817d58fc0 in distress.f9d553be6081de98

Serena, following Sebastian’s 3da8e419c4 lead, arrived at 092dce46ee a reception room bd477f2567 adjacent to the da4e04776c main hall. Only two 15d1513886 or three 1a2200127a people were 01295cc5b4 in the de1aab5736 hall, so f5cf74ba90 it seemed cf2149c117 most had b51a0d0d3a gathered here.e0750153cfd65dcf

Something about 3a1abca214 his voice 8a4994539b felt familiar ee2a47a9c0 to Serena. It was 4b404409c2 low and 778365f6f3 brief, making d120036f4b it hard 06be5d2673 to place, 843d120472 but she bbe455f424 was certain 5252df3bae she’d heard 4a30f87ac3 it before.2c921fd2b7cf272e

‘Hmm? Have we 9affb82bca met somewhere? Even the 27d2972e04 name sounds 1ff1c03b5b familiar.’7aa69f6c2adc86e5

Serena stared at 1907c20631 Zed, trying to 5ab1c78238 recall where they 84d7266724 might have crossed 1a6edfff8f paths. He was strikingly handsome—black 66f88cb95c hair, pale skin, and 3e97992106 blue-gray eyes that shimmered 186a5a7df3 with a peculiar hue, 23dd643b93 commanding attention.ae2fbc7201f4beeb

Perhaps uncomfortable with Serena’s ead0ac32b1 gaze, Zed subtly turned 3fd0da64d6 his head, and she 20bf84bfba noticed his ears flush 6892590d8c red. Embarrassed, she 44a4df8a21 also averted 699fd167a2 her eyes.f4a36dca82241acc
