Madeleine had made a lot of preparation work for today. The luxurious handmade dress that she was wearing was ordered a month ago. She was five months pregnant so the designer made a puffy skirt to cover her belly.
But Madeleine only looked mediocre.
Gilda washed her hands calmly and said, “You’re here. Why can’t I be?”
Gilda elegantly walked out of the bathroom.
Madeleine followed Gilda out and shouted, “Stop! I haven’t finished yet!”
There was water on the ground and Madeleine was wearing high heels to look prettier. She slipped and fell forward.
As Madeleine fell to the ground, she screamed, “Ah!”
Only then did Madeleine remember that there was a baby in her belly. When she was about to fall on the ground, her arm was grabbed by someone strong and she fell into that person’s arms.
Madeleine was still panicking. She gasped for air. “Thank you so much.”
Madeleine heard a man’s voice. “You’re welcome!”
Immediately, Madeleine’s expression changed drastically. She directly pushed away the man who just saved her life.
Without raising her head, Madeleine soothed her dress and ran away.
The man walked away from the bathroom and entered the hall.
Gilda looked at Madeleine and the man’s backs and thought something was strange.
Madeleine seemed to be very afraid of this young man, dressed in a gray suit. Usually, Madeleine would. take immediate revenge to give vent to her anger although she never gained anything from that. What she just did was abnormal.
Gilda checked the time and found it was time for her to change her clothes.
At the same time.
Delightful and melodious music echoed through the hall. The bright lights shone on everyone in the hall. People were drinking and talking with each other. Their topics were all about this year’s global business
trends.
Patrick strode in the stage.

He looked in the direction of the band and the musicians stopped playing the music.
Everyone else also stopped talking and waited for the highlight of today’s party.

Richard stood in the audience with his hands behind his back and looked at Patrick who was on the stage with appreciation. He rarely showed up publicly so he left the speech to Patrick.
Richard was extremely satisfied that his son and daughter–in–law who died young left him an excellent grandson.
Patrick raised the glass of champagne and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming to my grandfather’s seventieth birthday party.”
People laughed and raised their glasses too.
“Now, I am going to introduce someone to you.” Patrick smiled at the figure on his right side. “My sister, Gilda Lynch.”
Everyone’s attention was now on a slim woman, who was standing alone in the spotlight. People were all shocked by her beauty.
Gilda smiled gently and walked onto the stage holding up the hem of her dress.
Gilda’s long black hair was tied up by the stylist with a hair clasp leaving a few strands hanging loose over her beautiful collarbones. Her makeup made her stunning and smart with a touch of exoticism.

The delicate dress that Gilda was wearing was glittering now under the light. The diamond in the center of the flowers from the chest to the hem set off her nobility. The emeralds that she was wearing were apparently invaluable stones that no one had seen.
Everyone was impressed by Gilda. They exclaimed at her stunning face and the extravagance of the dress. she was wearing. It seemed that it was worth the assets of a listed company.
Everyone looked at Jensen curiously.
They all wondered if he regretted that he abandoned his secretary and wife, who was also the granddaughter of the richest man in the world.
Gilda walked to the microphone stand and soon her glittering eyes met Jackson’s through the crowd.
Jackson smiled mildly and raised his glass at Gilda, which made her blush a little.
