I had to explain myself there and then. I quickly said," Grandpa, I think you've misunderstood. Matthew and I aren't dating. I'm already married.”
Grandpa was stunned. "You’re married?”
I nodded awkwardly.
"Well, if the two of you really like each other, everything else is just small problems," Jeshua replied nonchalantly.
This... grandfather was a little too open-minded.
He insisted that there was something going on between Matthew and me. He would not accept any other explanation.
I was at a loss for words, so I did not explain further.
After the banquet had officially begun, waves and waves of people came to send their regards to Grandpa. Some were curious as to who I was, and Grandpa would introduce me to them.
People saw that Grandpa liked me, so they were very kind to me. After a while, I got to know many big shots from the political and business world.
I finally understood the reason Matthew brought me t o Grandpa, and Grandpa understood his assignment a
s well. He helped me fulfill the purpose of me attending today's banquet.
My heart was filled with gratitude. I gathered myself together to fully utilize this chance that was hard to come by.
Petra and Grayson's arrival was within my expectations as well. These two were powerful and famous in Whaldorf City, so it was a no-brainer that they had been invited to this banquet. They would be sure to attend because they respected the value behind the Nietzsche family name.
However, my attendance caught the two of them by surprise.
I watched coldly as they walked toward me. I tried my very best to suppress the hatred I felt for them.
