Jeanne held George's hand and returned to the VIP room.
To her surprise, Fourth Master Swan was inside as well.
Everyone was on their feet, showing the utmost respect to the man. Even her father, Alexander, wore a welcoming look.
Jeanne returned to her seat with George.
Fourth Master Swan greeted everyone before he turned to Eden and asked, "1 heard from your father that you're going to marry Jasmine at the end of this month."
"Yeah, Uncle Edward. It's on the 28th of this month." Eden showed respect to the man that he called uncle. Although his uncle was only four years older than him, he had to respect the man because Old Master Swan had put the man in charge.
Fourth Master Swan was the most powerful figure in the Swan family other than Old Master Swan.
"You better treat her well," Fourth Master Swan said.
"Don't worry, Uncle Edward. My father has prepared all the necessary things," Eden answered.
"Good to know."
"Thank you, Uncle Edward." Jasmine showed a flattery smile at Fourth Master Swan.
Fourth Master Swan nodded.
"I was having dinner here and I ran into Thedus outside.
I learned that both Alexander and Damian are here, so I thought I'd say hi."
Due to the seniority of his position, even though Alexander and Damian were a lot older than the young Fourth Master Swan, he was able to address them by name and talk to them like peers.
To Alexander and Damian, they felt honored because Fourth Master Swan called them by name.
"I'll leave you guys be. Have fun. I'll be going now." He was here just to say hi to everyone.
"We'll see you out," Alexander and Damian said.
"It's okay." Fourth Master declined the offer.
He then left swiftly.
Teddy was confused by his master's action. His master had just come back from a business trip and yet he wanted to come here to have dinner instead of going home to rest. After dinner, he even dropped by the Lawrence family and the Locke family's room just to say hi.
Others might not know but he knew his master hated social events like this.
Fourth Master Swan got into his car. Teddy was in the passenger seat.
The car drove toward the Swan family's private residence.
"Teddy," Fourth Master Swan said.
"Yes, sir?" "Run a background check on the Locke family." "The Locke family? Why?" Teddy felt strange because the Swan family had no business relationship or whatsoever connection to the Locke family.
"I want to know everything about them, including their dead ancestors and where their tombs are."
Teddy wondered what the Locke family did to anger his master.
After Fourth Master Swan left, the room became merrier than before.
"Alex, it seems like you're quite close to Fourth Master Swan," Damian flattered.
"It's all because of my future son-in-law," Alexander said humbly.
With utmost courtesy, Damian turned to Eden and said, "Son, we're going to be family soon. Please look after the Locke family as well."
"You're too kind, Uncle Damian. Since we're going to be family soon, we can just put courtesy aside," Eden said politely.
To the public, Eden was a handsome guy from a wealthy background, well-educated, and polite. He was the perfect son-in-law to every in-law out there.
"I didn't know you were this close to your uncle. He even came here himself just to ask about your wedding." Alexander was impressed by the visit.
"Yeah, I'm quite close to my Uncle Edward."
"I heard he's 29 but he's still single, right?" Jenifer asked.
"Well, he has no one around him, so..."
"Is he... okay? I mean physically?" Jenifer asked subtly.
Everyone was interested in Fourth Master Swan's private life, except for Jeanne and George, who were busy eating.
Eden wore a smile and said, "I don't know anything about my Uncle Edward's private life either."
