People came together in groups of three to five, raising their glasses and making small talk. There were also others who danced along to the music in pairs. The scene was as lively as it could be.
The maids changed into neat black and white dresses, and they moved through the crowd, waiting on the honored guests.
May Conner, on the other hand, with a glass of alcohol in one hand and Jeremy Quest on the other, moved through the crowd, offered toasts to her guests, and greeted everyone…
To May, today was a special occasion. She had especially changed into a red, festive, laced, silk gown. On top of that, she had on intricate makeup and wore diamond accessories worth more than ten million dollars.
Jeremy, on the other hand, was wearing a low-key, black Armani suit.
Emily Quest did not follow them to toast with their guests. Instead, she sat alone on a white swing not too far away from the band, savoring the red wine in her glass.
Likewise, Emily was also dressed up well. She wore a blue, glittery, laced gown. Her long, silky black hair was straightened, and she had very heavy makeup. With diamond jewelry worth over ten million dollars on her, she looked radiant…
Her flaming red lips glistened from the reflection of sunlight.
After taking a sip of red wine, she slowly shifted her gaze to the main entrance.
She was waiting… For Xyla Quest’s arrival.
At the same time, on the balcony next door, Xyla was already all dressed up. She sat lazily next to the white safety railing while she watched the movements of every single person in the Quest family’s courtyard.
She had on very plain yet refreshing beige-colored makeup, and her black, curly hair dangled naturally around her waist. She wore a golden gown with spaghetti straps, and her upper body was covered in shining and shimmering diamonds.
Xyla looked like a beautiful fairy who walked on clouds.
However, she was not wearing too much jewelry. All she had on was a single pair of diamond ear studs.
However, even so, Xyla still seemed noble and impressive.
Just as Emily looked up, the two sisters met each other’s gaze.
