Seeing that Eliza was distracted, Fiona secretly reminded her, "Eliza, this is a good opportunity to leave an impression on Mr. Hayes. Don't miss it."
Eliza exclaimed softly and frowned. "Mom, what are you talking about? I already have Dominic."
Fiona glared at her and said softly, "Silly girl, I'm not asking you to seduce Mr. Hayes. He has high standards and might not like people from a small place like us.
"You just have to show your face and make him remember you. It'll be convenient for you to ask someone to do something in the future."
'If we can hook up with Mr. Hayes, our family's meteoric rise will be just around the corner,' Fiona thought.
Even a tiny part of the business held by these top wealthy families was enough for them to live on for the rest of their lives.
"Mom, you're thinking too simply. Why would he remember me?" Eliza sounded a little unhappy.
She felt that Fiona treated her as a tool to cozy up to the rich and powerful.
She said, "More than half of the people in the banquet hall are here for Mr. Hayes. They all want him to remember them. I don't have the ability..."
Fiona was still insisting. "Don't belittle yourself. You're Dominic's fiancee after all. We're related. Mr. Hayes will more or less show you some respect."
Eliza replied, "Alright, I understand."
Even though she was unhappy, she could only agree perfunctorily.
After all, she did not dare to resist Fiona's arrangements.
Fiona probably also felt Eliza was a little unhappy, so she frowned slightly.
'If this is Audrey... She is so smart that she can do things beautifully without anyone's reminders.' Thinking of this, Fiona could not help but sigh.
Eliza sensed her emotions and felt uneasy.
She wondered, 'Where did Dominic go? Why isn't he back yet?'
Just as Eliza was frustrated, she finally saw someone walking out of the washroom.
However, it was not Dominic, whom Eliza had been looking forward to for a long time. Instead, it was Audrey and her "gigolo".
Since Audrey brought Alistair into the venue, many people in the banquet hall had noticed the couple.
It couldn't be helped. The couple was so good-looking. It was hard not to look at them.
"Damn, look, who's that man beside Audrey? He's so handsome."
"He's indeed handsome. The two of them are even holding hands... Could he be Audrey's new lover?"
"I'm so jealous. Why is Audrey so lucky? Her ex-boyfriend, Dominic, is already handsome enough. I didn't expect her new lover to be even more gorgeous."
