Chapter 1003

At that moment, the sound of microphones being adjusted echoed through the hall, signaling that it was

time for Old Madam Harrisons’ birthday banquet to begin.

Vicky, who was about to return to the hall to join the celebration, paused as she heard the crisp sound

of high heels approaching from the entrance and realized another guest had arrived.

She stopped and turned to greet them with a polite smile on her face.” Welcome…”

However, her expression froze as she laid eyes upon the two individuals standing before her.

A tall and beautiful woman, accompanied by a handsome and refined man, entered the room

gracefully. Upon seeing Vicky, a flicker of surprise crossed the woman’s eyes before she smiled and

said, “What a surprise to see you here, Miss Shaw.”

Vicky suppressed the slight twitch at the corner of her mouth. She was unable to bring herself to smile.

“Please come in,” she said.

Aurora, on the other hand, remained motionless. She observed Vicky with a scrutinizing gaze. “Miss

Shaw, your dress is truly magnificent… Did you design it yourself?”

Aurora was also wearing a dress that day, showcasing her exquisite figure in a subdued color that

accentuated her elegance and beauty.

Vicky responded with a faint nod.

Although the styles and colors of their dresses were different, it was evident that Vicky’s dress was

more striking. As a fashion designer, she knew how to showcase her advantages.

A trace of envy flashed through Aurora’s eyes.

Although Vicky was curious about why Tyler and Aurora had come, she knew better than to ask

directly.

After all, with Tyler’s status, she could not simply question their presence. On the contrary, it was her

duty to welcome them warmly.

Vicky made an inviting gesture. “Please, come in.”

Aurora cast a pointed glance at Vicky, chuckled softly, then linked her arm with Tyler’s as they entered

the banquet hall.

Returning to the banquet, Vicky found Elijah and asked in a low voice, ‘Why is Tyler here?”

Elijah looked puzzled. “Tyler?”

Vicky glanced in a certain direction and asked, “Didn’t you know about this? N

Shaking his head, Elijah replied, “My parents handled the invitations…” He paused for a moment, then

continued, “They might have invited Tyler without knowing about your relationship with him.”

For someone influential like Tyler, it was normal for him to be invited out of courtesy even if there was

no personal connection.

While Vicky was conversing with Elijah, she suddenly felt a chilling and icy gaze fixed upon her.

Instinctively, she turned her head.

She first looked in the direction where Tyler was. However, Tyler did not meet her gaze. He was

surrounded by a group of business elites, with

Aurora standing quietly by his side, occasionally displaying polite smiles at others.

‘It wasn’t him? Who can it be?’ She thought while scanning her surroundings, finding nothing out of the

ordinary.

Elijah spotted her strange behavior and asked in confusion, “Vicky, what’s wrong?”

She shook her head, feeling that she might have been overly sensitive. “It’s nothing.”

The dress Vicky wore outlined her curves perfectly. With her alluring features, many men in the hall had

their attention drawn toward her.

However, for some reason, Elijah had not looked at her directly. After saying a few words to her, he

excused himself, saying “Uhm… Vicky, there’s something else I need to do, so I’ll head over there

now.”
