Chapter 306

A young lady, dressed in a princess gown, with ash-brown hair, made her way through the crowd. She held Wesley's arm, a radiant smile illuminating her youthful face. Her smile eased the awkward tension in the air. When Wesley looked at her, his tense, solemn expression softened into adoration.

"You're running all over the place again," he said.

"I wasn't! I was right there…" She paused, realizing the strangeness of the situation. Glancing around, she asked, "Why are all of you looking at me?"

Another glance revealed the crowd's attention wasn't focused solely on her and her father, but also…

"Lilsy!" Her eyes lit up. Excitedly, she released Wesley's arm to greet Lily, calling out her nickname. "It's you! I'm not seeing things! Lilsy, it really is you! Why are you here? Are you here to visit me?"

Everyone, including Lily, was speechless. At that moment, the happiest person in the room was this giggling, carefree young lady.

"I knew we were friends! Why didn't you stay in touch? The sachet you gave me lost its fragrance after a long time. I've looked everywhere, but nothing came close. Now that you're here, how about you tell me…"

"Cough! Cough!" Wesley interrupted. "Lisa, behave yourself." He couldn't scold her harshly in front of others, so he merely reminded her.

"Daddy! I'm behaving myself! Do you remember Lily, the good friend I met at Hyderland? I told you about her! It's her!" Lisa pulled Lily forward, placing her directly before Wesley. "Lilsy, this is my dad!"

She rendered both Lily and Wesley speechless.

This is so awkward! Lily thought.

Breaking the tension, Lily extended her hand. "Hello. I'm Lily Christian, Lisa's friend."

Wesley looked from Lily's outstretched hand to his daughter's bright smile, then shook Lily's hand. "Nice to meet you."

Indeed, it was a wonderful meeting. No one expected things to calm down so quickly after being on the verge of exploding. The unpleasant energy had completely dissipated.

Countless envious eyes fell upon Lily. The crowd's surprise at her familiarity with Wesley's daughter was palpable. They saw this as a shortcut to Lily's success in the perfumery industry, believing Wesley's influence would ensure her advancement.
