At this moment, they arrived at the floor. Bailey walked out of the elevator alone. Unexpectedly, Zachary, who was originally behind, also walked forward and walked out side by side with Bailey.

Behind him, Sunny patted his chest in fear. Fortunately, the elevator door was big enough to accommodate two people entering and exiting at the same time. Otherwise, he was afraid that the two of them would fight from the elevator door all the way to the banquet hall.

Zachary wanted to ask Bailey what she was up to, but he could not speak his mind for a long time. He felt that he was at a disadvantage..

Bailey did not mind walking alongside Zachary. Perhaps it was because she had been with Zachary every day when she was a ghost in her previous life, Bailey felt safe and at ease being by Zachary’s side.

Hence, when the two of them entered the banquet hall together, everyone present looked surprised.

“Oh my god, has the sun risen from the west? These two people actually came together so peacefully?”

“How strange, how strange. There must be a warning when a phenomenon descends from the sky. I’m going to look at the stocks of the two companies.”

“To be honest, these two people are too compatible!”

“Don’t mess around. I heard that Ms. Shear is about to get engaged. She’s getting engaged to the son of a small company. I heard that he’s a university professor at such a young age.”

“Are you serious? Isn’t she marrying someone of a lower status?”

“I wonder what that man did to be able to marry such a fair, beautiful, and noble wife. Sigh, life is indeed unfair.”

“How can such love be measured by family background?”

“The best couples are those of equal social status. What do you know?”

…

Just as everyone was discussing among themselves, Xavier, who had been left behind by Bailey, rushed over from behind and ran to Bailey’s side.

“Bailey, why didn’t you wait for me? Without me accompanying you, what if you’re bullied by the people of the Gaston family later?” Xavier said to Bailey in a voice that only the two of them could hear. At the same time, he carefully stole a glance at Zachary, who clearly didn’t look too good.

Zachary looked at Xavier coldly. “You mentioned the people of the

Gaston family, are you referring to me?”

Xavier was instantly shocked. He did not expect Zachary to hear him when he was speaking so softly. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly. “It’s a misunderstanding.”

Seeing Xavier’s groveling appearance, Zachary felt that it was unbearable. He sneered and left Bailey and Xavier.

Sunny turned to look at Bailey a few times before chasing after Zachary.

Xavier wanted to hold Bailey’s hand. At such a banquet, as long as Bailey held his hand, the upper-class circle would immediately know his name tomorrow.

Bailey agilely moved her hand away, causing Xavier to fail to grab anything. It seemed that in her previous life or this life, Xavier had always been the man who played tricks to get to the top.

In her previous life, Xavier had relied on today’s banquet to pull in a lot of connections for his parents’ small business. He had used her family’s name to obtain a lot of business.

Xavier looked at the surrounding people who were looking at them curiously in embarrassment. Then, he whispered to Bailey, “Bailey, we’re about to get engaged. You should hold my arm at such an occasion.”

Was that so? Bailey grinned and turned around to slap Xavier’s face.

The crisp slap was abnormally loud in the elegant music. It instantly attracted everyone’s attention. They looked at Bailey and Xavier and started discussing.

“Isn’t that the eldest daughter of the Shear family? Why did she suddenly hit someone? Who is that man?”

“I’ve seen that man before. He’s Ms. Shear’s fiancé and they are about to get engaged. His name seems to be Xavier.”

“She slapped a man in public. This eldest daughter of the Shear family is indeed valiant and domineering.”

“Could that man have done something unpresentable? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for Bailey to hit her male partner?”

“No matter what, it’s just not appropriate to hit a male partner in public, and it’s someone whom she is about to get engaged to. A man still has to have dignity.”

“What dignity does a man who climbs up the social ladder need? These men wag their tails and come over after they are given a little money. He’s still being cheap.”

“Bailey is not giving the host any face!”

“It’s not that she isn’t giving them face! When did Bailey ever give Zachary face? Hahaha.”

Everyone instantly laughed softly. Sunny, who was hiding in the back of the crowd, held back his laughter and poked Zachary, who was beside him, with his arm. “You’ve been laughed at, hahaha.”
