Leading the way were two middle-aged men in their fifties, with stern faces and tall figures. The military green overcoats they wore were adorned with countless badges and insignias on their shoulders, making them particularly eye-catching.
The people following behind them were all tall and sturdy, with a powerful aura.
The moment this group of people walked in, the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall seemed to become solemn.
Under the stunned gaze of Vivian and her group, Patrick calmly walked forward and greeted them, "Mr. Holland, General Robertson."
Sidney Holland raised his hand wearing white gloves and patted Patrick's shoulder, his tone stern but his gaze gentle, "I never expected that Callum would hide such a beautiful young lady. The Turner family has a daughter, what a great joy..."
Lorenzo Robertson's face was even more cold and detached. He swept his gaze over several young people, focusing on Christ and Freddie. "Were you causing trouble?"
The young ladies were all frightened, shaking their heads in panic.
Freddie took a deep breath and suppressed the shaking in his chest.
Christ's gaze deepened as he smiled, "General, you misunderstand. We came here specifically to congratulate Miss Turner's return home."
Lorenzo warned in a harsh voice, "If anyone causes trouble here tonight, don't blame me for being trigger-happy!"
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked away.
It wasn't until the two military representatives left that the group of people's pale faces gradually returned to normal.
In the Capital's six military districts, Lorenzo was the old general of the first military district, with remarkable military achievements. Sidney was in charge of the sixth military district, and the people following behind them were all generals or lieutenant generals from the two military districts.
Each one was a person of real power...
"Didn't the Turner family fall from grace a long time ago?" Vivian's face turned pale, her voice sharp and ear-piercing due to jealousy and panic. "Why would the military come all the way here to support Selena?"
"Who told you that the Turner family fell from grace?" A seductive voice came from the side, and a graceful figure in a fiery red dress walked over. Her seductive aura and dazzling charm were unmatched in the City of Charm.
Everyone present was stunned at the sight of her.
Christ narrowed his eyes slightly.
Milana Poole glanced sideways at the group of young talents beside her. "Twenty years ago, the greatest tragedy in H Country was that a bunch of good-for-nothings who only knew how to take advantage of the situation were born in the country!"
She sneered, her expression unclear whether it was disgust or contempt. "Just because the bunch of spineless cowards above you have knelt down, it doesn't mean that everyone's knees are soft. The Turner family has not fallen, and it never will!"
With those words, everyone's faces at the scene became extremely embarrassed.
However, Milana seemed to pay no attention. She played with her fair fingers and looked at Christ. "I heard you know Callum's daughter?"
Christ's tone sounded respectful. "Yes."
Milana seemed to be lost in thought for a moment before she asked somewhat emptily, "…who does she look like?"
Christ's tone softened. "Lady Nevaeh."
Milana was stunned for a moment, and there seemed to be glistening tears in her eyes that were about to fall. They disappeared in an instant. She suddenly turned and walked out. "So, she doesn't look like him…"
Christ watched the woman's slightly embarrassed back, suddenly understanding why she had changed her name and broke with the Poole family.
The man had left Milana with only a self-deceiving name.
For some reason, Christ suddenly spoke up, "Aunt, why don't you stay and meet the daughter of that Mr. Turner?"
Milana turned abruptly and stared at him fiercely. "I hate Nevaeh!"
After she finished speaking, her figure disappeared from the entrance of the Turner family's mansion.
After Milana left, Vivian came to her senses and sneered, "Mr. Poole, aren't you sorry for your aunt? The former beauty of the capital betrayed her family, changed her name for a dead man, and ended up unmarried for life…"

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh
From the beginning of the story to page 148, the plot is just going in circles about fighting. So ridiculous and waste of time to read! I have no patience for these kind stories. Be more creative if you’re planning to write a book/story!!!...
Beautiful story...
