Chapter 588

Corinne focused her gaze and turned to look at the door of the banquet hall.

Lucas was wearing a suit in a light color, walking in slowly with elegant steps. It looked as if he was born to stand

out.

One by one, all the guests went up to have a toast with him and greet him. It just looked like at group of admirers

surrounding their revered figure.

There was also a group of people who surrounded and cozied up to Jeremy when he just came in earlier. However,

because Jeremy was too cold and he was not friendly to them at all, those people were sensible enough to step

aside, not daring to disturb him anymore.

Lucas, however, was very different from Jeremy. He was very good at dealing with those people who were flattering

him. He raised a glass to them, nodded, and smiled, and he

tactfully responded to people who were cozying up to him. However, while he was smiling and chatting with them,

he was also exuding a barely noticeable indifference, and he did not smile. with his eyes.

While Corinne looked at Lucas, he also unintentionally saw her, who was not supposed to be there. His gaze was

frozen for a second, but he recovered very quickly and continued toasting and talking to an elderly man next to him

without looking at her anymore.

Corinne shrugged her shoulders and did not look at him anymore as well. She slowly moved her gaze away and

carefully looked around the banquet hall. xo.com fast update

The majority of the people who attended the party that day were people in their middle ages. There were relatively

fewer younger people.

Because the party was designed to cater to people in their middle ages, it was not the kind of fashionable party that

young people liked. There was no dance floor and no high-class, elegant music accompaniment by an orchestra.

Instead, a vintage stage was built in the hall. The person who was performing on stage to celebrate Edgar’s

birthday was a famous opera singer from New Capital City that they hired with a hefty sum.

Edgar was famous for being a fan of the opera. Corinne did some homework before coming, so she was not

surprised by the classical style of the party.

However, how many young people in that day and age could sit down quietly and watch an opera that was passed

on for more than 100 years?

The majority of them politely hang around for a while after giving Edgar his birthday gift, then they made up an

excuse and left.

It was too torturous for the young people to sit and watch the opera with the elderly people!

Corinne, however, was different. She was always very interested in classical music. When she

was living in the countryside during her childhood, there was an old man who was a fervent fan of the opera. He

would carry a bulky recorder to the entrance of their village and play opera music. After that, he would learn to sing

along to the tape.

When Corinne was staying at the convent during her childhood, she had no television to watch and no peers to play

with. Also, she finished reading all of the books in the library at the convent very quickly. When she was truly bored,

she would run off to watch the old man sing. After listening to it for some time, she also felt it was very interesting.

Therefore, she did not feel like it was torture to stay at the party and watch the opera at that moment. She even

felt that it was very good.

Also, Lovelace’s residence gave her a comfortable and friendly feeling!

She was thinking that her mother must have brought her here before when she was a child. She must have

experienced a good and heart-warming time at her mother’s home.

Unfortunately, she could not remember specific situations. It was just a feeling that was left in her subconscious.

Thinking of that, Corinne looked at Edgar. He was sitting with a few people around his age, chatting and discussing

the segment of the opera that was happening on the stage.

Edgar looked like he was in good health and good spirits. It was when his missing daughter and granddaughter were

mentioned earlier that he looked a little sorrowful.

Corinne felt a little indescribable pain. Her mother must have been a precious daughter who was very loved by this

family in the past. Unfortunately, she married the wrong man later and

wasted her life.

“Why are you here?”

When Corinne suddenly heard Lucas’ questioning her, Corinne regained her senses and did not panic. She turned to

look at her boss calmly and said, “Mister Lucas, I’m here to celebrate your grandfather’s birthday.”

Lucas stared at her unhappily and frowned. “Who was the one who brought you in?”
