Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the beautiful girl entered, not only did she attract the attention of the guests, but even Young Master Aren, who was standing upstairs, paused for a moment. He recognized Luke beside the beautiful girl and naturally knew that she was Jocelyn.

However, he didn’t expect Jocelyn to look like this when she was dressed up. He was very surprised.

As soon as the beautiful girl entered, she attracted many gazes. These gazes were filled with curiosity, inquiry, and lust. These gazes made Aren feel very uncomfortable. Displeasure flashed across his eyes, and he frowned.

“Let the banquet begin!” Aren spoke to the attendant waiting beside him.

Hearing his order, the attendant immediately bowed and said. “Yes, Master!”

At this moment, the band started playing music specially tailored for the banquet. When everyone heard the music, they picked up their glasses and started chatting.

The banquet officially started.

In the crowd, many young men, who were attracted by Jocelyn’s beauty, picked up their glasses and walked towards her, wanting to talk to this beautiful girl and get to know her better.

At this moment, Jocelyn picked up her wine glass and walked towards the corner of the banquet.

There were really a lot of people at the banquet this time!

Looking at the upper-class people dressed in elegant clothes at the banquet, Jocelyn couldn’t help but feel a little intimidated. However, when she thought of what her father and stepsister had done to her today, she became even more determined to leave the Wilson family.

In the corner, Jocelyn found a random place to sit and taste the dessert on the table.

Her actions were elegant and were all in accordance with etiquette.

Aren stood on the second floor. From his angle, he could see the entire banquet in one glance. However, the people in the banquet could not see him from below, so Aren liked to stand on the top and look at the people below.

At this moment, his gaze was attracted to the girl in the white dress. He watched as the beautiful girl moved.

The girl walked towards the corner without looking at the people around her. She walked into the small corner of the banquet alone and seemed to be unwilling to interact with others.

The men behind her were getting restless.

Looking at the man who wanted to walk up and talk to Jocelyn at the banquet, Aren’s eyes darkened. He gripped the railing tightly and frowned.

Not only Aren but also Maria and the other two were also looking at Jocelyn.

“Mother!” Maria stomped her feet not far from her father and looked at Jocelyn unhappily. “Look at her, she’s coming over too. She’s like an annoying fly!”

She thought that if she stole Jocelyn’s dress and she didn’t have an invitation to the banquet, she would be able to get rid of her.

Unexpectedly, Jocelyn followed them to the banquet like an annoying fly.

“Where?” When Mrs. Wilson heard what Maria said, she was shocked. “Why is she here? She doesn’t have an invitation!”

She turned around and saw a familiar figure standing more than twenty meters away.

It was Jocelyn!

The back and height were the same, even the side face was the same.

At this moment, Jocelyn turned around elegantly with a glass of red wine in her hand. Her long, fair neck was even more eye-catching, and her exquisite face was covered in appropriate and bright makeup.

Mrs. Wilson had long known that Maria’s appearance was inferior to that of Jocelyn, and men liked to judge a book by its cover, so she had been teaching Maria how to do the makeup.

However, no matter how much makeup Maria put on, she would never be as pretty as Jocelyn.

“Mother! What should we do? Are we going to let Jocelyn steal my marriage again?” At this moment, hatred and jealousy flashed across Maria’s eyes. Looking at Jocelyn in such an exquisite dress, she felt like a clown. She wanted nothing more than to tear Jocelyn into pieces.

On the other hand, Mrs. Wilson was much more careful. She held Maria’s hand tightly to prevent her from acting impulsively. However, in her mind, she was busy trying to come up with tricks to deal with Jocelyn.

It would be terrible if Master Aren took a fancy to Jocelyn.

Beside her, Mr. Wilson was chatting casually with an old friend who had come to congratulate him. So up until now, he had not realized that his other daughter had also come to the banquet.

“Mother…” Maria grabbed the sleeve of her mother and shouted unhappily, still looking at Jocelyn in the distance.

“Alright, alright!” At that moment, a cold glint flashed across Mrs. Wilson’s eyes. She stroked her daughter’s shoulder and said, “I’ve already thought of a way. When there are many people around, do this…”

Mrs. Wilson whispered into her daughter’s ear. The more Maria listened, the more pleased she became. Jocelyn, who was standing not far away, did not notice that a disaster was coming..
