The first to arrive were the ones from the Newman Family, the Hall Family, and the Pearson Family.
Charles was with his wife, Sofia, and his daughter, Anna on both sides.
Sofia had an indifferent expression on her face. As Charles and Anna greeted others, she just slightly nodded without saying much.
Anna was dressed in a white dress today with a light blue belt around her waist which was knotted on one side into a light blue rose, making her look chic and refreshing. Her whole outfit set off her face which was originally beautiful, making her look more extraordinary as if she were a fairy.
With a light smile on the corner of her lips, she greeted every acquaintance politely.
Charles's face was as serious and composed as ever.
They were followed by a couple from the Hall Family. As Dennis Hall walked, he whispered to his wife, Jessie Graham. William kept staring at Anna as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
His clothes today matched Anna's. He wore a white three-piece suit with a light blue tie that matched Anna's belt.
This pair of the beautiful and handsome young couple immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Laura was holding the arms of her father, Marcus Pearson. With a light smile on the corner of her lips, she kept staring at William and Anna from time to time. Wearing a bright red dress today, as usual, she looked beautiful and noble. She was a beautiful woman who wouldn’t easily be inconspicuous among the crowd.
As soon as Anna saw Alexia, she intimately took Alexia's arms, "Aunt Alexia, your gown is so beautiful! When it comes to a dress of such a color, only someone whose temperament and skin tone like yours can handle it. You indeed are good at choosing clothes!"
Alexia graciously allowed Anna, Laura, and other noblewomen who came to observe her dress after they heard Anna’s words. Then she proudly said, “My Angel personally picked it for me! I think she has good taste as well. So I will leave what I should wear in the future to her."
Anna smiled more affectionately, "Where is Angel? I brought Laura along with me to see her. They are almost at the same age. So I think they will get along with each other."
Alexia immediately looked around and shouted, "Angel!"
Angel responded from afar, lifting her skirt and walking over gracefully.
As a coordinator of this banquet, she had been helping her aunt. And as time went on, the ones from the PR department and the housekeeper at home would come directly to her if they needed anything. After all, in their opinion, Angel was much more talkative than Miss Alexia.
When Angel approached, Anna couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air, feeling that she almost couldn’t maintain the smile on her face.
As for the red dress Angel was wearing, Anna had seen it on the runway, only to find that it was the "summer" dress out of the "Your Four Seasons" series which beat David Lee’s work!
When she saw the skirt on Alexia's body, it suddenly occurred to her that the nude-colored one on Alexia's body was the one named "spring". It was just that the color shouldn’t be the one on the runway, which was why she didn't recognize it for a moment.
"Aunt." Angel came to them with a smile, gently lifting the hem of her skirt with one hand. And she got an elegant posture and a sweet smile on her face.
"Angel, come here. Let me introduce you to everyone." Alexia immediately held Angel's hand.
Angel greeted everyone one by one under Alexia's introduction.
"Uncle Charles, Aunt Sofia, Sister Anna."
"Uncle Dennis, Auntie Jessie, Brother William."
"Uncle Marcus, Sister Laura."
Angel’s well-behaved look stunned Anna. And for a moment, she even had a feeling that this Angel wasn’t the same as the one she knew.
She had always been reserved and cold towards her.
Seeing Angel, Sofia stared at her quickly and stared closely at her face without saying a word.
She subconsciously gripped Charles with her hands. Charles felt the pain and shook off her hands, glaring at her.
Sofia awkwardly stopped staring at Angel and turned her head to look at others.
Angel looked at her and couldn't help but feel pain in her heart. Even so, she listened to Jessie talking to her with a smile on her face as usual.
"Oh my God, is this Angel? Ouch, she simply looks so similar to Isabelle. Alexia, don't you think so?" Jessie asked Alexia with surprise as well as joy.
Alexia smiled and said, "Yes. As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter. The more Angel ages, the more she looks like my sister-in-law."
Jessie couldn't help but pull Angel's hands, "What a beauty she is! She looks more beautiful than her mom at her age. Yo, look at her. she's so, so good looking."
Angel smiled gently, looking decent and elegant.
Laura couldn’t hide her shock.
She thought to herself, “How come this little girl was so beautiful. While standing in front of her, even Anna is overshadowed.
And judging from her gentle and well-behaved appearance, no one will think that she is a fool. Nobody will remember this fact anymore.”
Laura glanced at Anna who was standing next to her with a smile on her face. However, in her heart, she knew that Anna probably had met a strong opponent this time.
When it came to the things which Anna possessed, whether it was her family background, her look, and her temperament, or her talent, Angel had it all. And Angel was even better than Anna.
For some reason, Laura looked at Angel, feeling a chill rising behind her.
Charles looked at his wife who was silent beside him, feeling annoyed in his heart. In his opinion, if Sofia could be as socially proactive as Jessie, he surely would be in less trouble.
On this kind of occasion, females needed to show up to socialize with each other. However, Sofia didn’t say a word.
Suppressing his anger, Charles said amiably, “Angel, you are so grown-up in a blink of an eye. Back then, you used to hang out with my Belle when you were both little girls. Angel, now that Belle is gone. Her sister, Anna is still here. You should visit my family more frequently in the future.”
It was clear that Sofia's body stiffened after she heard Charles’ words.
Angel didn’t respond upon hearing Charles's words. Instead, she smiled at Sofia, "Aunt Sofia, aren’t you feeling well? I'll have someone take you to the VIP room to have a rest there."
Everyone looked at Sofia.
Jessie said with concern, "Ouch! Sofia, your face is so pale. Let me accompany you to take a rest."
She held Sofia with one hand.
