Surprisingly, this year the Lucas family decided to wade into this mess as well.
In previous years, they had remained silent.
But this year, they sent a steward, and this female steward's appearance drew admiration from everyone.
With her proud curves and figure, along with her stunning face, she was like a captivating beauty.
She wore a black fitted wool skirt, draped in an apricot-colored British-style trench coat. As she walked, the irregular slit of her skirt revealed the black silk stockings underneath, and she stepped in a pair of long Martin boots.
The slender metal heels made a crisp sound as they touched the ground.
Behind her, a row of bodyguards dressed in black suits followed, like stars surrounding the moon, exuding a strong presence.
Amidst the sea of black, a silver figure stood out as the only highlight.
The old man wore a long white coat, his graying hair contrasting with his wrinkled and sinister face. His narrow eyes were as cold as venomous snakes.
When his gaze fell upon Kyson and Leandro, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes, and he greeted them softly.
"Kyson, Leandro, long time no see!"
"Adrian!"
"It's you!"
The two arguing men suddenly stopped and looked at the man before them with disbelief in their voices.
Wasn't Adrian supposed to have died outside a long time ago?
How could he appear here?
Looking at the people from the Lucas family behind him, both Kyson and Leandro couldn't help but show a contemptuous and wary look.
Adrian now belonged to that group of devils. He had never been a good person when he was young, and now he was colluding with the enemy, making him someone to be guarded against.
"Adrian! You traitor to the family! How dare you come back!" The angry voice roarer, attracting the attention of everyone present.
When Adrian heard the word "traitor," a displeased expression appeared on his face, and his cold gaze swept over.
He strode over to the middle-aged woman who had spoken earlier and sneered, "Traitor? This word shouldn't be used like this, right? Wasn't it because of the scheming of my good elder brother, Layne, that I had to leave back then?"
He said it in a straightforward manner, showing no remorse in his conscience.
The woman grew even angrier and raised her hand, ready to slap him. But just as her hand reached out, Adrian tightly gripped it. He exerted force.
The sound of bones dislocating rang out, crisp like the breaking of shattered porcelain.
The woman's beautiful face instantly twisted with pain, and she glared at Adrian fiercely, taking a sharp breath.
Her other hand lifted and grasped Adrian's wrist, attempting to exert pressure.
Unfortunately, her strength didn't make Adrian feel any fear.
He smiled lightly, casually loosening his grip, and said, "Yvonne, you still have the same fiery temper as when you were young. You're almost fifty now, shouldn't you have mellowed out a bit?"
Ten years ago, she was a renowned diplomatic queen, but she retired early and became a visiting professor at the Onistead Foreign Language University, teaching English, French, and Russian.
In her youth, she was unquestionably a national heroine, and her beauty and temperament attracted the pursuit of many.
Unfortunately, Yvonne remained single and unmarried throughout her life.
The reason was that she had been waiting for a man.
