“Oh, not really,” Zoey said with a sweet smile. “Alfred just treats me like a little sister. That’s all.”
Because of Zoey’s suggestive words, many reporters treated her carefully. Some even sounded flattering when they spoke to her.
Before long, another Bentley rolled up slowly.
“Mr. Keywood is here.”
At that, Zoey’s eyes lit up. She turned to look.
Sure enough, Alfred’s Bentley, with the custom plate A888, pulled up near the entrance.
“It’s Alfred,” Zoey said.
She lifted her long skirt and hurried toward the car.
The door opened.
A pair of well-tailored suit pants stepped out first, showing long legs.
Then Alfred’s tall figure came into view, right in front of the cameras.
He gave
the reporters a slight nod. His presence was sharp and steady, just as always.
“Alfred,” Zoey called.
She walked up, lifting her heavy dress, and reached out to hold his arm without thinking.
The next second, Alfred frowned and stepped aside.
Why was Zoey here?
A flash of irritation crossed his eyes. But with so many people watching, he said nothing.
After avoiding her hand, he walked around to the other side of the car and opened the door.
He bent down and held out his hand. When he spoke to the person inside, his cold edge softened at once.
“Don’t be nervous. Just stay with me,” he said gently.

He was talking to Nella.

Nella wasn’t truly nervous. She’s just not used to a scene like this.
In past years, she had never attended the Keywood Group’s year-end gala.
Alfred never asked her to come, and she never brought it up.

This time was different. It was the company’s 80th anniversary gala, much larger and far more public.
Still, she reminded herself this would be the last time before the divorce. She only had to get through tonight.
Once tonight was over, it would be fine.
With that in mind, she handed Marshal to Alfred. Then she lifted the hem of her stepped out of the car.
“Mrs. Keywood is here too.”
“Mr. Keywood even brought his little brother-in-law,” someone joked, smiling.
The mood seemed warm and friendly.
But a few people glanced at Zoey with long looks.
Some even felt secondhand embarrassment for her.
He came with his wife. Who would walk in with you?
What a joke!

Even so, no one dared say anything out loud. No one was sure how Alfred truly felt about Zoey, the childhood friend he had brought to the gala year after year.
This was the first time many of them had seen Nella up close.
She was far more beautiful than the photos circulating online.
Even a famous actress known for her looks would probably fade standing beside her.
The reporters rushed forward, eager to capture the face of the mysterious Mrs. Keywood. Alfred raised his hand and stopped them.
“Please be careful,” he said calmly. “My brother-in-law is injured and not fully healed yet. Don’t bump into him.”

He used Marshal as an excuse, but everyone could see the truth. Alfred was protecting Nella.
His arm rested around her waist as he guided her forward, careful and attentive, as if afraid she might stumble at any moment.
