In the lobby of the Beach Hotel.
Everyone followed Lochlan into the hotel. Many people were still discussing what happened just now, cursing Casey for not having self-awareness, and not taking the opportunity to please the Nelson family.
At this time, Old Lady Sue was standing in the lobby. In order to participate this banquet, Old Lady Sue took out her most precious jewelry and clothes to show her dignity.
Seeing Lochlan being surrounded by people, Old Lady Sue perked herself up immediately and greeted him with a smile on her face.
"Lord Nelson, long time no see, you are really getting more and more handsome and debonair. Your temperament is rarely seen in contemporaries." Old Lady Sue smiled and said.
Lochlan greeted Old Lady Sue with a fist-and- palm salute and responded with a smile, “Old Lady Sue, you are joking. You look in really good spirit. It seems that you are getting younger and younger."
Old Lady Sue was far more excited to be praised by Lord Nelson, and she continued to praise Lochlan.
Lochlan only responded symbolically. To Old Lady Sue, he was not so indifferent, but he was not enthusiastic either.
Although today’s banquet was for the marriage between the two families, they all knew what the other side were thinking about in mind. The Nelson family was stronger than the Sue family, and the Sue family was marrying their daughter. It was normal for Lochlan to bear an arrogant attitude towards Old Lady Sue.
"Did Darius come today? I haven’t seen him yet." Lochlan asked.
"Of course, he is here. How dare he miss such an important banquet? He was standing here just now and chatting with me, who knows where he has gone." Old Lady Sueanswered, and she turned her head and looked around for Darius, but Darius was nowhere to be not found.
"Well, in fact, it doesn't matter if you see him or not. As long as you and I agree on the matter today, there will be no problem." Old Lady Sue said, showing that she didn’t care about Darius at all.
It looked like that what she said about the Sue family counted, and it didn’t make much sense whether Darius, the Mr. Sue, would come or not.
Lochlan smiled and nodded. He also knew the situation of the Sue family, so he didn't say much.
"This is my son, Rocco." Lochlan pointed at Rocco who was standing by and said.
Old Lady Sue stared at Rocco and said with a smile, “What a handsome boy. He is the perfect match for Sylvie."
Rocco just glanced at Old Lady Sue coldly, and didn't say anything. He was still thinking about the person who was in front of the hotel just now, thinking that after today, he must find him and break a lance with him.
"Since today is the banquet for my son and Miss Edith, would you please invite Miss Edith out here?" Lochlan stared at Old Lady Sue and said.
Old Lady Sue nodded at once, and then looked around, trying to find Darius, because Edith was with Darius, and she didn't know where Edith was.
"Sylvie is with Darius now, but I don't know where he has gone. I can’t find him now. How useless he is." Old Lady Sue muttered.
