Everleigh stayed by Christopher's side and was introduced by Vanessa to all the guests at the banquet.
Vanessa was obviously extremely fond of Everleigh, showering her with nothing but praises and compliments. Everyone could hear that the Meyer family attached great importance to their daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Meyer's face was full of pride. She held up a glass of champagne and toasted everyone. "Thank you for taking your precious time to attend this banquet. I'm already an old woman; what's there to do at a birthday banquet? I just want to take this opportunity to introduce Everleigh to everyone. When the wedding date is set, I'll definitely invite all of you to the wedding!"
Her words warned everyone present to never dare look down on Everleigh.
The crowd started to throw questions. "Why did Christopher get married without a word?"
"Yeah, you've hidden your son well, Mrs. Meyer."
"They were studying abroad all this while, thus they didn't have time to hold a wedding ceremony. We were afraid of gossiping if we disclosed it too soon; they might think that the Meyer family does not value their daughter- inlaw."
"She's Christopher's classmate, thus Everleigh is also a doctor?"
"Yes, she had returned to Ocpeace City to work now."
The people who attended the Meyer family's banquet knew that they had a youngest son. Although he was a good-for-nothing, studying medicine even though he could inherit his family business, proving himself inferior to his two elder sisters, no one dared to look down on him.
Traditionally, the inheritance of a family still relied on a son. Therefore, most of them believed that despite the current situation, Christopher would definitely inherit Meyer Group in the future.
After rounds of greetings, Everleigh had drunk a lot of wine.
"Are you okay?" After three rounds of wine, Christopher helped her to the side to rest. "If you are a lightweight, don't force yourself to drink. Why did you drink for every random person who came to toast?"
Hearing this, Everleigh rolled her eyes at him. "The people who toasted me just now were all your uncles and relatives. Are they considered random people?"
"I'm just casually saying. Why are you exaggerating? Are you perhaps possessed by Felicia?" Christopher sat her down on the sofa in the rest area. "Sit down and have a rest. Drink some water." "I'm fine," Everleigh leaned back on the sofa, and Christopher sat down as well. The two of them stared at the lively banquet in the distant side by side. With Felicia's support, they actually did not need to do anything.
For everyone in the world, there was a destined person in their lives. No matter how crowded it was, one could always see that person at a glance as if they had telepathy. Even when that person was looking from behind, one could feel it.
They were far away from each other, but the moment their eyes met, they quickly turned away.
Everleigh frowned and lowered her head to take a sip of hot water, as if she did not see anything.
"Stop pretending," said Christopher as he crossed his legs and peeled orange in his hand. However, his eyes were fixed on the couple in the distance. "I'm sure you're feeling disgusted seeing both of them in pairs?"
"No." Everleigh pursed her lips.
"Why did you reply so decisively?"
Everleigh's eyes were a little cold. Instead of answering Christopher's question, she asked, "What happened between you and Josephine just now?"
"I don't like seeing beautiful women alone. I just went to chat with her for a while," Christopher shrugged.
