Out of sight, out of mind. This felt nice.
I changed into a light blue dress and tied my hair into a bun at the back of my head to appear more mature.
Then, I put on a shiny headband and let a few strands of hair fall gently on both sides of my face. I applied a light-colored lipstick and lightly brushed my eyebrows. Overall, it madecharming and elegant.
When the professor saw me, he looked slightly amazed. Then, he began to complain about how his wife didn’t give birth to a daughter. He complained that his son was useless and just caused trouble. Having a sweet daughter would be much better.
Upon arrival, I realized it was a gathering of high-society elites. The so-called high society actually consisted of two main groups. The first was those who were more toward wealth and power, and the second was those with deep family and cultural backgrounds. Ads by PubFuture
Previously, Colin mentioned that the Kings where the professor was from had a history of over 200 years. They had connections with the royal family. With such a family background and immeasurable assets, they also hold a lofty position in the cultural sphere.
Combined with their wealth, the Kings had far surpassed other wealthy families, establishing themselves alongside the prestigious Lamberts in Jinovy.
Colin didn’t elaborate much at that time, but later I learned that this was Andrew’s family. It was only then that I realized how prestigious Andrew was. And Queenie was incredibly lucky to have met him and to be loved and protected by him for a lifetime.
The gathering was held in Eden Hall on the top floor of the Jones Hotel. The decorations appeared simple and plain at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there was an understated luxury in every detail.
Even the decorative paintings on the walls were created by world-renowned artists, and their value was beyond measure. Ads by PubFuture
In the hall, there were elegant and composed aristocratic young people everywhere. They were all dressed splendidly, exuding radiance and splendor. They carried themselves as if they were the most important one among those gathered.
As a mere graduate student at Jesselton College, being personally introduced by the cultural representative of the Kings madethe focus of the attendees.
Almost everyone was observinget and discussing my background in whispers. Seven speculated that I had a relationship with the professor. Otherwise, how could the esteemed Professor King treat a common student likewith such importance and personally bringto such a gathering?
Such was the nature of people. As soon as the words “man and woman” were mentioned, there would always be speculations. These people, with their own matice and filth, were only seeking to comfort themselves with baseless assumptions.
My relationship with the professor was straightforward. I respected him as a master of his field, and he acknowledged my talent and diligence. Why should we fear the speculation of the world? My attire was not as extravagant as the others, with only a pair of pearl earrings and no other jewelry. It madeappear simple and elegant.
But I took pride in my upbringing in a scholarly family, along with the things my parents had taught me. It had endowedwith a pure and noble temperament.
Casually following behind the
professor, unexpectedly obtained the contact information of several influential figures. I couldn’t help but feel pleased. I didn’t attend this gathering in vain, and the professor’s intentions were met. Indeed, there were still many good people in this world.
