âI am Shannon Quarry, wife of Chairman Gregory Salvador.â Shannon introduced herself with. a hint of
arrogance, keeping her head high.
âJustin, I donât understand what sheâs saying, but thereâs no need to translate it for me. because Iâm not
interested in knowing who she is,â Ada replied, not bothering to look at Shannon, and continued
chatting with Justin in French.
Shannon only understood about a third of the conversation due to her limited proficiency in French.
Just as she was about to introduce herself again in French, Justin smiled faintly and said to Ada,
âThatâs just my intention. Thereâs no need to introduce irrelevant people to you.â
This statement completely baffled Shannon. However, at this moment, laughter erupted around them,
and the surrounding conversations were crystal clear to her.
âWow⦠Ada dared to confront the wife of Chairman Salvador so directly! Sheâs really brave and bold! I
thought she was just acting, but now I see that sheâs genuinely being herself!â
âOh, this is hilarious! Ada Wang is from Meridan. She doesnât care about the business politics in
Savrow at all. How could she possibly care about the wife of Salvador Corporationâs chairman?â
âExactly! Shannonâs big talk wonât impress Ada!â
Hearing the mocking comments, Shannonâs face turned red and then pale. The wrinkles around her
eyes deepened. However, she was extremely concerned about her reputation and unwilling to swallow
her pride. She put on a forced smile and said, âMs. Ada, as you may know, our hotel and KS World
Hotel have always been competitors. Your choice to attend our banquet tonight is a recognition of the
Salvador Hotel. As the lady boss of Salvador Corporation, I feel extremely honored.â
Justinâs expression remained cool and distant. âThe lady boss of Salvador Corporation? She certainly
knew how to flatter herself.â
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Ian quickly translated Shannonâs words for Ada, hoping to
stir up some trouble.
âNo, I think thereâs a misunderstanding.â Ada shook her head after listening. âKS World Hotel and
Salvador Hotel are both excellent establishments. I chose to attend this banquet tonight not because
the Salvador Hotel is superior to the KS World Hotel, but because Justin has impressed me through his
actions and charisma.â
As these words were spoken, Shannonâs cheeks burned as if she had been slapped in the face. Ada
Wang might have appeared haughty, but in reality, she was quite shrewd. If she had agreed with
Shannon, it would mean that she admitted the Salvador Hotelâs superiority over the KS World Hotel.
This would not only belittle KS World Hotel but also offend KS Group, one of the global Fortune 500
companies.
This would leave Ada with no way out and force her to continue letting the Salvador Hotel host her
wedding. Ada was not, that foolish to easily fall into this womanâs trap.
In the slightly tense atmosphere, the doors of the banquet hall swung open. Zoe, dressed in a million-
dollar Swarovski crystal-studded pink evening gown, walked in gracefully, resembling a floral fairy.
âIs she Christianâs apprentice?â
âSheâs not just a pianist. Sheâs also the younger sister of Ryan Hoffman, heir of the Hoffman Group!â
âRyanâs younger sister?! Doesnât that make her my future sister-in-law?!â
âThen whoâs my future sister-in-law? Bethany? Ugh⦠I donât really like that woman. She looks
annoying.â
On the other side, Bethany sneezed.
Upon Zoeâs arrival, Bethanyâs eyes scanned the scene like radar, eagerly searching for Ryan. However,
her hopes were dashed. She felt that her relationship with Zoe was truly shallow.
Zoe noticed that the attention of the crowd shifted from Ada Wang to her, and she couldnât help but feel
a surge of pride. In fact, she had worked hard to persuade Justin to let her play the piano, aiming to
quickly gain fame in Savrowâs upper class and carve her own identity in the Hoffman family.
She did not want people to associate the Hoffman family solely with her brother, Ryan. She aimed to be
an undeniable presence. With a sweet smile, she walked toward Justin, lifting the hem of her dress.
However, Justinâs indifferent gaze left her feeling uneasy. Suddenly, a sharp and steady click of high
heels echoed from outside the door.
It sounded so familiar to Justin.
Justinâs heart tightened abruptly as his gaze fixed on the door without blinking. His breathing instantly
became chaotic.
