It was no wonder Gilbert’s appearance stood out among the crowd. His mother was the most beautiful

woman in Blaydal, and his father was also a well-known noble there.

Naturally, their children wouldn’t look too shabby either.

As Elspeth gazed at his faint smile, she somehow thought of a term to describe him—his beauty was

unparalleled.

“What are you looking at? We’ve known each other for so long, yet you’re still stunned by my good

looks, eh?” When Gilbert said this, he didn’t blush in the slightest. He had broad shoulders, a slender

waist, and long legs. With his exquisite facial features thrown into the mix, no one would doubt his

claims.

Elspeth chuckled, then raised her wine glass and took a sip. “What do you mean, stunned by your good

looks? I’m just thinking, what right do you have to be so handsome? You’re not making use of your

looks, after all.”

Gilbert’s most obvious strength was his good looks, and it was also the aspect of him that people

envied the most. However, it was also something he valued the least.

He even hated people telling him that he looked good.

When Gilbert heard Elspeth’s words, his expression instantly turned foul. He was about to lecture

Elspeth when another person joined their table.

“Hey there, Elspeth, Harper, Gilbert. I got delayed because something happened on my way here.

Sorry.”

Lisa came late. Gilbert didn’t want to lecture Elspeth in front of an audience, so he gave up. Harper put

on a regretful expression, earning a vicious glare from Elspeth.

“Right, I have something to ask you about.” Elspeth sat Lisa down beside her and began to interrogate,

“What exactly is going on between you and Blake? Why are you two together all the time? Did he

threaten you?”

Even Lisa was exasperated at the topic. “I don’t know what’s going on with him these days. He

suddenly started talking to me every day, asking me to play sports with him and go shopping with him,

and he even wanted me to be his manager. I had too much to drink the other day, and while I was

drunk, he sneakily used my fingerprint to sign the contract, so I’m his manager now.”

Elspeth was at a loss for words.

“Are you saying that you two secretly signed a contract under my company without my knowledge?

Does Timothy know?”

Elspeth felt a headache coming on. If Blake had feelings for Lisa, judging by his history as a playboy,

he would get tired of her soon and dump her.

No, she wouldn’t allow this to happen!

Lisa smiled awkwardly. “It was already too late when Timothy found out. The contract was already

signed by then, and Blake insisted I become his manager, or he’d go on strike. As such, Timothy just

smiled and agreed.”

“What do you feel about this, then?”

Elspeth stared at Lisa intently as though she’d burn a hole through the woman’s face.

“I don’t know how to reject him either.”

Lisa suddenly remembered last night when Blake got drunk and tugged at her sleeve, saying that he

wanted to buy clothes for her.

“Your wardrobe is all black, white, and gray. Don’t you think that’s a little depressing? Come on, I’ll buy

some nice clothes for you. You’re freshly grown up, so you should wear more colors…”

Lisa didn’t protest; she just thought he was funny. He dragged her to the nearest clothing store, but the

shop was already closed for the day. He made a fuss and took out a card, then tossed it into the shop

owner’s hands, saying he had five million on the card and that he wanted to buy the entire shop. He

even told the shop owner the password.

Shocked, the shop owner ran to a nearby bank to check, only to find out that everything Blake said was

true. In case Blake regretted his decisions, the shop owner hastily took out the keys to the shop and

tossed them into Blake’s hands, then quickly ran away.

With that, only two people were left—Blake, who was smiling goofily, and Lisa, who was helpless.

“This is my first time buying clothes for a woman… If you’re okay with it, just wear them. You should

know that I’m the best actor, and my tastes… are the best as well…”

I see. Is that why you bought a shop selling children’s clothes? Lisa thought.

Blake slumped sleepily onto the floor of the shop. Lisa was thinking of ridiculing him when he woke up,

but she couldn’t just leave him alone, so she stayed with him until daybreak.

In the end, when Blake woke up the next day, he wasn’t even remotely surprised when he saw her. He

even took her to the arcade.

Lisa never had so much fun in her entire life. It was fascinating, but also terrifying.

Seeing that Lisa was absorbed in her memories, Elspeth sighed helplessly.

Looks like this girl is invested now. She had to find Blake and have a chat with him to find out what he

was trying to do with Lisa.

“Come on, we’re here to welcome Gilbert back, not to hear a girly talk.” Harper’s words caused Lisa to

blush fiercely. Then, Harper continued, “Let’s play a game. Whoever loses will dance on the stage.

How does that sound?”

Elspeth raised an eyebrow. “Sure. What game are we playing?”

“Word chain,” Gilbert said calmly.

Elspeth immediately dropped her smile.

Anyone who knew Elspeth knew that she was bad at her studies.

If they played word games, she would be the first to lose.

“I’m not playing. You guys have fun.” Elspeth turned around angrily, then watched the pretty ladies

dancing on the stage.

“What’s wrong? You’re already in your 20s. Are you so chicken that you don’t even dare play word

games?”

Gilbert’s voice was lazy but filled with ridicule, making Elspeth both pissed and annoyed. She wanted to

decline, but she didn’t want to back down either, so she could only say yes.

However, no matter how hard she tried, her capabilities were limited. The most she could do was delay

her imminent defeat.

After three rounds, Elspeth came last in all of them. Exasperated, she put on her sunglasses and mask,

then walked onto the stage.

When the DJ noticed Elspeth giving them a look, he immediately changed the music.

As the music sounded, Elspeth began moving her alluring and attractive figure. Her dance was even

more striking and better executed than some professional dancers.

Even Gilbert and the others were stunned for a moment.

Elspeth was performing a pop dance. Though it was fiery, it wasn’t sexual at all.

Apart from dancing on stage, she even got off the stage and interacted with the audience halfway

through. She was sending looks everywhere, and as soon as her numbing gaze fell upon a person, that

person would feel a chill running down their spine.

When the dance ended, the audience was bewildered for a moment. Soon, thunderous applause filled

the room.

Elspeth smiled, then prepared to get off the stage.

“The future young mistress of the Winthrop Family is different at night, isn’t she?”

The voice was extremely familiar, especially to Elspeth. When she heard that voice, she was

immediately on high alert.

She turned around. Just as expected, she noticed Emma in a corner slowly walking up to her.

Emma was smiling victoriously as she waltzed up to Elspeth, then looked mercifully at the latter.

“Elspeth, I’ve already recorded your dance. How unbecoming of you! Say, if the people who love you,

or Callum, saw that, what would they think?”
