This satisfied Snow's vanity. She looked at Harvey; he looked like an inborn leader in his demeanor,
which was unbridled yet natural.
‘How could I let go of him? I can't live without Harvey.'
Thinking of this, a strong emotion rose in her eyes.
Gary followed Ryder to the Holder family's party.
When he saw one less seat at the table, he asked in puzzlement, "Why is there one less seat here?"
Usually, the foremost table was almost reserved for prominent families.
The Holder family could not have made such a low-level mistake by arranging one less seat at this
table.
Ryder had also noticed that and squinted in bafflement.
‘‘The Johnston and the Holder families must be at odds with each other now.But even so, they have
never shown their discord publicly.Whenever the Holder family holds a banquet, they would surely
reserve a place for the Johnston family, even if the Johnston family is not coming.What happens now
could only mean that the Holder family thinks some other family doesn't deserve to sit at this table, and
so they reduce the number of seats.But what is more interesting is that the second table has an extra
seat.What's going on here?’'
At this time, outside the banquet hall, Chloe was being ushered into the hall by a waitstaff.She was
holding her invitation card with her chin pointing skyward, but deep down inside, she was pretty
nervous.
Damien and Miley also walked in prim and proper.
The three of them got their invitation cards with the help of a branch of the Rogers family, so they were
seated further back, similar to the Rogers family branch.
Chloe's eyes lit up when she spotted someone in the crowd.
She left her parents and walked toward Alberto, calling out affectionately, "Grandpa!"
Alberto broke into a smile when he saw his favorite granddaughter.
He gently patted Chloe's hand and said gently, "I brought you to the Holder Mansion this time so you
can find a way to make Nachelle change his mind about you."
Chloe nodded obligingly.
As Miley and Damien arrived late, they did not hear the conversation between Chloe and Alberto.
Miley stayed behind her husband cowardly when she saw Alberto.
Since she retired from showbiz because of her declining acting skills.
Since losing her value, Alberto's attitude toward her was getting worse and worse.Now he was even
colder to her and had to pick on her every time he saw her.
Miley could do nothing else except acting.
When she was still a celebrity, she was of great help to her family.
But now, she was nobody, and Alberto was irritated at seeing her.
Seeing his daughter hide behind his son-in-law, Alberto snapped, "Get out from behind Damien!"
Damien furrowed his brows at seeing Miley shaking with fright.
"Dad, Miley is timid.Don't scare her.Just tell us if you have something to say."
Alberto looked up and down at Damien, not expecting that his son-in-law was still protective of his
useless daughter.
Just as he wanted to say something, Chloe looked at his grandfather and said softly, "Grandpa, there
are so many people here.Can you introduce them to me?"
As she spoke and raised her hand to stroke her hair, a brilliant light flashed on her finger.
Alberto quickly shifted his attention from his daughter and son-in-law and smiled at his granddaughter,
who had not disappointed him so far, and nodded at her.
"It's time to take you to meet people.Come with me."
Not sparing a look at her parents, Chloe followed Alberto in delight to meet the other guests.
Miley looked at Chloe from behind and was pleased that her daughter had found favor with even her
stone -faced father.But Damien looked at Chloe with a faint coldness in his eyes.
