Chapter 268

Today, when she went out, Winford did not relent and agree; in fact, he also went out to attend to business at the same time. However, she still came, even though she was alone. She was betting with Winford that he couldn't stand by and watch her being bullied without doing anything!

With a soft hum in her heart, Ophelia propped her chin on her hand, her pretty little legs gently swaying as she looked towards the door. I didn’t know when her dear husband would come. Unlike her calm and composed demeanor, Lenora was almost dying of anxiety! She was praying, hoping that Winford would change his mind!

Not far away, Adalynn looked at the anxious expressions of the few people beside Ophelia, and she let out a cold laugh before withdrawing her gaze. Then, she looked towards the door for what felt like the umpteenth time—actually, she had worked hard to prepare for today’s banquet, not just to deal with Ophelia, but for someone even more important! She unconsciously adjusted the hem of her gorgeous dress, and in her movements, she surprisingly revealed a hint of anticipation and nervousness.

Someone beside her noticed and instinctively asked, “Adalynn, is there a distinguished guest coming today?” As soon as the words left her mouth, she found it amusing. Adalynn came from the Estrada family in Kingchester, and in vast Minston, who could possibly be worthy of being called a “distinguished guest” in front of Adalynn? But just as she was about to apologize for saying the wrong thing, Adalynn curled her lips into a proud smile and said, “That’s right, a distinguished guest is coming today.”

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.

“Honored guest? Who?”

“Have you heard of Mr. Winford?”

As soon as Adalynn said this, everyone widened their eyes. Mr. Winford? Who hadn’t heard of him!

“Adalynn, Mr. Winford actually came to your party?!” The young ladies were extremely excited.

“That’s right,” Adalynn proudly lifted her chin. “However, wasn’t Mr. Winford someone who didn’t like socializing? He had been in Minston for quite a while, and many people had sent him invitations, but he never responded!”

So many people had extended invitations to Mr. Winford without receiving a response; what reason would he have to come to this small gathering of Adalynn’s? Even if Adalynn came from the Estrada family in Kingchester, it still wasn’t enough! It should be noted that someone of Mr. Winford’s status even made Sir Estrada show him some respect!

Why did Mr. Winford come to her party? Adalynn smiled and proudly said, “Of course, it’s because he is my uncle!”

At the banquet, she personally delivered the invitation to Sunset Vista as Cullen’s fiancée. Mr. Winford cared so much about his nephew Cullen, and according to Cullen, Mr. Winford had also mentioned that he would cultivate him as his heir in the future. Therefore, he would surely extend his affection to the fiancée of his most valued nephew. So, at today’s banquet, Mr. Winford would come for her, Adalynn!

“What?!” The young ladies were all stunned. “Mr. Winford was actually Adalynn’s uncle?!” They looked at Adalynn with envy and shock. “Oh my gosh, I am so envious of you, Adalynn. We can’t even see Mr. Winford!” Then they were so excited that they almost screamed, “Ah, ah, ah, are we really going to meet the legendary Mr. Winford today?!”

“All of this was thanks to you, Adalynn!!”

“Poof!”
