Behind her came Quinn's exasperated bellow, and Lydia blushed unnaturally, forcing herself to play it cool.
She can get into the Crystal Palace during the day, but when it comes to night, she is very unsure of herself.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Leo, but the occasion was too special!
The villa draw lots opened by JWCC, even the Henderson’s, where she was before, had to treat them respectfully!
Not to mention that now she is not Henderson’s eldest lady anymore, her status has dropped again and again, and of all the guests present tonight, her status is the most humble one.
No, an invitation is needed to enter the Crystal Palace, and Leo is not producing one at the moment.
Leo was calm and collected, holding his daughter's hand in one hand with a smile on his face, "I think everyone has come here with only one purpose, and that is to enter the Crystal Palace, right?"
"You ......"
Quinn choked and was about to think of a way to resort.
The twin sisters did that for him instead.
"That's nice talk, look at your status, is the Crystal Palace at night a place you can come to?"
"Yes, only the royal family of Valenham, the great figures of the three realms of power and prestige, are qualified to enter!"
"Mr. Commerce Maestro of JWCC will also be coming in person! Do you guys know who Commerce Maestro is? It's ...... well ...... a very powerful and big person anyway. It is not a place where you people from the bottom of society can get into!"
"Get out of here! Or I will call the security guards!"
The twin sisters stood in front of Lydia, pompous and cursing.
They brought out all the things that Quinn had told them during the day and now they looked as if they knew the Crystal Palace well.
If she hadn't known beforehand that they were just two mistresses, she would think they were in the upper class circle.
Leo really laughed out loud, these two twin sisters were like two barking pugs in his eyes, thinking they were barking fiercely and bluffing, but in fact they had no killing power at all.
Leo was also too lazy to talk with Quinn and took Lydia's hand and walked in naturally.
The outer layer of the Crystal Palace is a huge open-air fellowship with a secluded pool of water in the centre, with various fountains spouting out and accompanied by the soft sound of music.
The fountain is surrounded by tables displaying exquisite and expensive pastries and wines for guests to taste.
On either side is a high-priced band playing soft tunes.
At night, the Crystal Palace is a place of glamour, with an array of high society.
It is a circle that the working class will never reach in their lifetime.
Naturally, Leo took two red wine glasses, one to hand to Lydia and one for himself to sip leisurely.
Two more exquisite dessert pastries were brought to Emilia and the little one ate them with great pleasure.
"Eat slowly, don't choke, there's more when you're done."
Leo carefully wiped the cream off the corner of Emilia's mouth.
The men and women around them smile and nod to them, and Leo smiled at them.
Lydia is also holding a glass of wine, her smile serene.
When they walked away, the serene smile on Lydia's face instantly disappeared, pulling Leo aside and staring incredulously.
"Leo, this is a real circle of power and wealth, why do I feel like you're smooth in here? You've been there before?"
She was brought up with proper aristocratic etiquette and knows what to do and how to look on what occasion.
But Leo was different. He had grown up in the Henderson family and had gone to be a soldier, so how did he act more calm and composed than her?
As if ---- he really was an upper class powerhouse!
What kind of soldier comes back so gracefully?
Lydia couldn't believe it, even if he was faking it, he was faking it too much.
She even watched as a blonde, blue-eyed man came to ask for directions, and Leo spoke to her for a long time.
The two men had a good talk and finally the man gave Leo a warm hug and left his business card.
It turns out that he is a partner in some multinational logistics company with far-reaching influence in Valenham and is worth billions.
Lydia was stunned.
Leo smiled.
He did learn, not to mention some upper class etiquette, that he could dance to a standard of authentic ballroom dancing.
Lydia didn't ask more questions, even she found it unbelievable.
She used to be the eldest princess of the Henderson family and now she was actually walking behind Leo.
Their actions all fell in the eyes of Quinn and the two twin sisters.
They all looked dumbfounded and failed to respond.
"And they really got in?"
The older sister in the twins was the first to react, flushed with anger.
Then younger sister and Quinn reacted and felt an imbalance in their hearts.
"Isn't this place only accessible to those with invitations, so what makes them able to enter?"
"No, I'm going to expose them!"
The furious Quinn and the twin sisters rushed into that small courtyard in anger as well, pointing at Leo and Lydia and saying loudly, "Don't be fooled by this family of three, they're all liars!"
