Chapter 1500
Matthew left as soon as he finished his briefing.
Adeline, standing in the doorway of the exit, saw him approach. At that moment, her heart thumped
involuntarily.
She tried putting on her prettiest smile before walking toward him, wanting to greet him in front of everyone. If
she could exchange words with him here, it might be enough to change their opinions of her. After all, the other
wealthy heirs and heiresses could only admire him from afar. She wanted to compensate for her blunder back at
the ball as well.
Before she could reach him, though, she was immediately stopped by two heads of families. They surrounded
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim, just pushing her away as if she was someone inconsequential. When Matthew walked past her, he did not
even look at her, like she was invisible.
Adeline was stunned by his treatment of her. She was the eldest daughter of the Thatcher family and had never
been treated this way. So, she quickly turned to look at him, wanting to call out to him. Yet, she couldn't do it.
She didn't know whether he would ignore her or not. If he did, she would be even more humiliated.
As she watched him leave, she couldn't hold it back anymore. Tears flowed silently down her face. She knew she
had missed her chance yet again.
Speople-or things were lost forever once the opportunity was gone. There would be no room for regret,
either.
Only when Matthew had left could the people waiting outside enter the resort. Finally, the respective heads of
the family left as well after bowing and greeting the crown prince. Eventually, the resort eventually returned to
normal. Music started to play, and the lights flashed. Adeline, however, remained there, lifeless and
unresponsive.
Somewhere else, Lynn was surrounded by the admiring wealthy heirs and heiresses of Eastshire. Lucien sat
beside her, looking at her lovingly. He was like a loyal escort, treating her with extrsincerity. As for the
others, they were also trying to be as friendly as possible. It had been an order from their parents-if they
established a close relationship with her, things would be easier for them in the future. Lynn was surprised by
everything that had happened. She wasn't sure how to deal with such a situation; it had been Lucien who had
taken care of everything. After all, she had just been an impoverished sales girl several days prior-one that never
dared retaliate when being humiliated, even. Who would have thought that within that time, she would become
one of Eastshire's top elite?
Adeline looked on in envy. She knew that if she had immediately agreed to work at Matthew's pharmacy tonight,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe could have at least been of equal standing with Lynn now. After all, she was much better- looking than Lynn.
As for her family background, it was even better. If she becLynn's equal, Lucien would choose her without
question. Instead, she had destroyed everything that should have been hers. At this thought, she ran out of the
banquet. Right now, all she wanted was to find someplace where she could slap herself hard, then cry her heart
out,
The following night, Matthew treated the heads of Eastshire's ten great families to a banquet at the Cameron
Hotel. It was meant only for the family heads, yet all valued members from each family were present. So, this
banquet could probably count as a meeting where everyone could see him.
Everything went smoothly; all ten families were now subservient to him, and no one dared disrespect him even
slightly. When Matthew had finished explaining sissues, he allowed Melvin to take care of everything else
while he rushed back to Eastcliff overnight.
Something gravely serious had happened there, and he needed to deal with it personally.
