Chapter 440:

But after discovering he was the fourth son of the affluent Sanderson family, her affection became earnest.

Color crept up Kelley’s cheeks, a flush of shame spreading across her face.

Lindsay added, “Feigning innocence while engaging in such schemes? Blushing now? Don’t think I’m just another naive suitor you can easily deceive. It’s revolting!”

Kelley held back her wrath, choosing silence over confrontation.

Adjusting her tone, Lindsay leaned in closer and said, “Assist me with a small favor, and I’ll connect you with someone who will make sure you’re well taken care of for life. What do you say to that?”

“What exactly would you need me to do?” Kelley inquired, her voice laced with caution.

The allure in Lindsay’s voice was palpable.

“I choose to be a wealthy socialite.” It was her lifelong dream.

A gleeful smile spread across Lindsay’s face.

A cunning smile played at the corners of her mouth, disappearing as quickly as it came, her thoughts remaining a mystery.

At the annual gala, the live streaming setup underwent a swift, expert adjustment. To mend fences with the countless viewers online, Spheredale hosted a livestreamed cocktail event, a first of its kind.

Given the preference of many elite guests to avoid the limelight, careful diplomacy was required to balance their privacy with the camera’s invasive gaze. Moreover, with the potential for mishaps at such a gathering, vigilance was paramount.

As the party progressed, Skyla’s energy waned.

Before retiring, she whispered to Clint, entrusting him with Harlee’s care.

Harlee found herself seated between Clint and Tiffany, shielded from the prying eyes of the live broadcast, thanks to a timely heads-up to the production team. The big screen now spared them, focusing elsewhere.
