The butler at the back shook fiercely, but it was already too late.
He had almost forgotten that this young master was not an easy child to fool!
What a nuisance!
Christian Jenner urged the butler on the side. "Let's go in quickly! We can’t let Nicole get to it first! How did she show up here so suddenly?"
The butler gritted his teeth and could only take them i n first.
Every staff member working for Clayton Sloan knew the butler, so when he led the two strangers, not even a n invitation was needed.
The waiter who had not left yet paused for a while.
"Mr. Sloan only said to invite Young Master and Ms. Stanton inside. He didn't mention anyone else."
The butler's face changed slightly.
"Nonsense! I'm the butler of this family! Mr. Sloan won't blame me. I'll take the blame if anything happens."
The butler then led Christian and Xion Jenner inside.
The banquet hall was lavishly decorated. The standard hotel's furnishings were all replaced with the highest quality furnishings for this private banquet. It could be seen that Clayton Sloan put a lot o f effort into this.
When Eric saw Nicole walking in holding that little boy's hand, he paused for a moment.
He was very surprised.
The car he had originally sent to pick up Nicole must have run empty because she was already here.
Somehow, Eric was relieved to see her here and was vaguely delighted. 'Indeed... My girl never admits defeat... She'll always find a way to come in properly.'
Nicole froze for a moment when she saw Eric, then looked away and pretended not to see him.
Eric noticed this and was a little speechless.
Lil Michael excitedly pulled Nicole’s hand and ran over.
"Daddy, I brought Pretty Lady here!”
The four people present were all big shots in the industry. They were slightly surprised to see Nicole and had a hint of amazement in their eyes, especially Eric.
After all, Nicole always attended such public occasions and wore many high-fashion dresses that were vibrant, stunning, and impeccable.
It was like she was born to live in the spotlight.
However, Nicole's gown today was simple yet so
elegant and befitting. Her waist was outlined perfectly, and the dress made her look like a soft beauty. Eric even had the thought of hiding her for his selfish reasons.
