In H City, at a splendid hotel, a dance party was being held here at this time. All the top celebrities in H City participated in it. Everyone was well-dressed and decent.
Edith was standing in front of a glass showcase at this time, with a sparkling crystal necklace inside. There were a lot of precious jewellery on the party for people to see. This necklace was considered the most dazzling among them.
Edith's gaze fell on this necklace. Her thoughts were a little confused. She always felt that she also seemed to have such a necklace which was also very beautiful but important to her.
It was just that she couldn't remember where her necklace was and who gave it to her. Besides, she didn't know what that necklace meant to her. She just knew it was important.
After thinking for a long time, Edith sighed helplessly. She decided not to force herself to think about things that she couldn't remember.
During this time, she had gradually accepted her identity and accepted the name Sylvie. She was the daughter of Darius and the young lady of the Sue family.
The Sue family was the most prestigious family in H City. In this city known as the economic center of H Country, it was not a simple matter to get such a reputation.
As Edith got to know the Sue family, she also gradually learned that the strength of the Sue family was much stronger than she had imagined. The most prestigious family in H City was just a cover for the Sue family’s strength. The real Sue family was already one of the top ones among the world's first-class families.
The background of the Sue family could only be understood by people who had reached the same level as the Sue family. Among the world-class families and consortia, there was no one who didn’t believe the strength of the Sue family.
It was just that among these powerful forces in H City, few knew it. There were a few families and companies that often opposed the Sue family. They always thought that the strength of the Sue family was equivalent to them, but they didn’t know the real Sue family could wipe them out so easily.
One reason why Darius concealed the strength of the Sue family was because he was not interested in the fights between world-class consortia and families, and the other was because of Edith, the daughter he had searched for so many years.
Edith could feel that Darius was so nice to her. Because she had no memory of the past, she had already accepted Darius as her father.
It was just that Edith couldn’t figure it out. Since she was Darius’ daughter, she always felt that the people around Darius were very strange to her. She didn’t have a friend here. Except for Darius, no one knew her past.
Darius explained to Edith that she had been living in another place for more than two decades. Because he wanted to protect Edith well.
From Darius' love for her, Edith did feel that Darius was very concerned about her safety, so she believed this explanation.
Darius’ pampering with her had reached the point where it was impossible to add any more. Today’s dance party was just because Edith said that it was a bit boring to always stay in the villa, and she wanted to find a lively place to wait. Then Darius let his men prepare this dance party.
In the entire H City, everyone wanted to have some relationship with the Sue family. So there were quite a lot of people at the dance party.
Although the party was lively, no one knew Edith. So it made Edith feel more lonely. It wasn't until Edith saw this necklace that she felt a certain familiarity.
At this time, a figure appeared next to Edith. Edith turned her head and saw Darius, his face full of love for her.
When the people around saw Darius appearing, they all cast their gazes immediately to Darius and started talking in a low voice.
"Look, that girl is Darius’ daughter? She is really beautiful."
"I heard that his daughter only returned back not long time ago. Darius is so spoiled for her. It's really enviable."
"She is so beautiful. Besides, she is the young lady of the Sue family. If I could hold her in my arms, my whole life will be enough."
"You wish. I heard that Darius has already selected his daughter's future husband. At your level, I'm afraid that you are not enough to be the son-in-law of the Sue family."
...
"Do you like this necklace?" Darius asked.
Edith did not say yes or no, but she said, "This necklace makes me feel very familiar. Father, have I had such a necklace before? Who gave it to me? The person who gave the necklace to me should be very important to me."
"Silly daughter, your previous necklaces are countless. There are too many similar ones. Maybe it's just because of this necklace that makes you suddenly remember some things. You lost your memory. So anything which makes you think about the past will make you feel important." Darius explained with a smile.
