Chapter 17 Banquet
Chapter 17 Banquet
Meanwhile, in Flint Mansion, Julien stared at the trending topic being promoted with a deep frown on his forehead.
Zack stood next to him in trepidation. "Sir, I didn't do that. Someone must have deliberately spread it.
Should I get someone to suppress the topic?"
"No need." Julien pursed his lips. An indecipherable emotion flickered in his eyes. "It was probably done by the Madden family."
Zack immediately understood.
The Madden family deliberately exposed the video to suppress Sydney. If Julien helped to suppress the topic, the Madden family would be unhappy, and he did not want to offend his future father-in- law because of Sydney.
"Then, about this..."
"Ignore it." Julien turned his phone off and raised his head to ask, "Has the Azure Heart arrived?"
Zack nodded. "It arrived yesterday. It has been engraved with Ms. Madden's initials as per your instructions."
"Alright. You can go out now."
Julien lowered his head and massaged his temples. His eyes skimmed over the divorce certificate inside
the trash can, and his head hurt even more.
Trison Corporation enjoyed a great reputation in Port City. All the people invited to the Madden family's banquet held for their daughter were those from the upper class. Naturally, many of them were there to take the opportunity to build connections.
Brandon Madden and his wife wandered in the crowd, smiling.
He was an elegant middle-aged man with a goatee, and his wife had a cool and imposing face, typical of an upper-class lady.
The piano slowly sounded. 1
The crowd looked over and saw Lyra dressed in a green dress. She looked elegant and refined as she sat by the piano, playing gracefully and calmly. She looked like she was shining as she attracted the attention of everyone present.
After the song, Julien came over from the crowd and took Lyra's hand. It was not an exaggeration to say they were a golden couple.
Brandon was all smiles. "I'd like to thank everyone for attending the Madden family's banquet. Today, in addition to celebrating my daughter's recovery, we have another important announcement.”
His eyes swept through the crowd and finally landed on Julien. "I hereby announce that Julien Flint, the president of Flint Corporation, will be my son-in-law."
As soon as he said those words, the venue roared.
Everyone knew about Julien’s divorce since news about it was sensationalized, and now, he had become the son-in-law of the Madden family. However, they then thought about the video in yesterday’s trending topics.
They could not help but sigh. 1
It was really important for families to be well-matched when it came to marriage.
Julien was handsome in appearance and distinguished in bearing. Standing with Lyra, who was also gentle and beautiful, they looked like the perfect couple.
He took out a golden brocade box, opened it, and knelt in front of Lyra on one knee.
It was clear that he was proposing.
Surprise filled Lyra’s face, and she covered her mouth in disbelief.
At that moment, the man spoke, "Lyra Madden, will you..."
Suddenly, an untimely laugh interrupted Julien.
"Sorry for being late, everyone."
That voice...
A mix of emotions flashed on Julien's face as he turned his head to look over.
The enchanting and charming Sydney slowly appeared, followed by Luke and Layden. 1 NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Everyone was shocked when they saw her.
They all knew that she was Julien’s ex-wife.
The fact that she showed up at such a critical moment was...
When Velma saw her son being interrupted, she suddenly jumped out and pointed at Sydney, screaming, "Who let you in? Get out!"
Luke crossed his arms around his chest. "We're here to attend Ms. Madden's banquet." i
"You..."
Brandon stopped Velma, who was about to say something, and looked at Sydney.
He was an old and sly person, so he naturally would not be impulsive. However, his smile was clearly much colder than before. “Although I didn't send you an invitation, those who come are guests. The Madden family welcomes you." 1
"She's the one who caused my daughter’s accident?"
At first glance at Sydney, Mrs. Madden felt that Sydney gave her a strange feeling. However, she could not pinpoint what it was. i
Then, she remembered that the woman almost killed Lyra.
Mrs. Madden’s face turned cold, and she said impolitely, "Ms. Raines, I still haven’t settled the account with you six years ago. How dare you show up in my house?” 1
