She had attended major film festivals and walked numerous red carpets, even being invited as a heavyweight guest to various banquets.

However, no man had ever taken the initiative to refuse to hold her hand as they made their entrance.

This was an utter humiliation for her.

But she quickly smiled, hiding her displeasure in her heart. “I understand, CEO Storm, be rest assured, I won’t make things difficult for you with Miss Sylvia.”

Eder nodded, his long and proud legs stepping out of the car, taking the lead to get out.

As soon as the two appeared, they became the focus of everyone’s attention, with camera flashes clicking

all around them.

Ava effortlessly handled such scenes, her smile elegant and noble. The two of them entered side by side, but they maintained a perfect distance, not even brushing against each other’s clothing.

Tom pouted in frustration. “Eder!”

“He intercepted you before I reached the legal age for marriage. Now, with the commercial alliance between the Grant and Smith families, I probably won’t have a chance in this lifetime!”
