Chapter 42

A deathly silence fell over the entire Everluster Pavilion, engulfing it in a stillness akin to death itself.

No one had anticipated the scene unfolding before them.

Though they did not know Felix personally, they recognized him as representing the Lloyd family.

The Lloyd Group from South City, no matter how one looked at it, was a substantial family business. Even if the Hill family surpassed them, customary respect was usually given.

However, Lucy slapped Felix solely because he was disrespectful to the young man sitting at the main table.

The scene lingered in the eyes of the guests, refusing to look away.

Who was that young man sitting at the main table?

Felix's gaze was blank. If not for the fiery pain on his face reminding him of it, Felix would probably have thought he was dreaming.

Why? Just because of a worthless ex-convict, Lucy had dared to hit him!

Though he was quite puzzled, Felix felt uneasy. He faintly felt that things seemed to have slipped from his control.
