“D-Did you make a mistake?”

After a moment of silence, Yelena yelled with her shrill voice, “How is it possible that you’re looking for her!?”

“May I know if you’re Ms. Cordelia Jenner?” The man had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold. “If you’re not, please step back!”

“You—”

“This is the Splendor Dynasty. The Hamertons are hosting the dinner,” the man said flatly. “It’s my job to decide who to welcome and who not to welcome. I don’t need you to tell me how to do my job!”

Yelena’s face paled from the rage. The corner of her lips twitched, and she could not squeeze a word.

Joanne and William looked at each other, troubled. They thought what was happening was odd.

It was Cordelia! How would a disgraced illegitimate daughter deserve to be in such an event!?

“Ms. Jenner.” The man walked to Cordelia and nodded respectfully. “Please come with me.”

Cordelia’s heart was pounding. As if she was struck by lightning, her chaotic mind was now empty.

“Sir, d-did you make a mistake?” she asked softly in a testing manner. “I don’t have an invitation. And I’m not here for the ball. I just want to deliver some documents…”

“Please come with me, Ms. Jenner. Don’t get me in trouble.” Smiling, the man looked at her.

“Hey!” Joanne was pissed and tucked at the man. “What about us?”

The man smirked. “Do you have an invitation?”

“What invitation!?” Joanne looked like a shrewd woman with her hands on her hips. “Go ask around. The young lady of the Quimbies of Centrolis is m-my aunt’s niece! She’ll grant us access to the ball! Who are you to ask for the invitation from me!?”

“The Quimbies?” The man pursed his lips and chuckled out loud. “Ma’am, I’m the Splendor Dynasty’s general manager. I work for the four families. Forgive me for being ignorant, but I don’t see the Quimbies on the list.”

Joanne’s expression changed. William glared at her angrily.

At that moment, more and more people were passing by. Some looked at them curiously. Their eyes were like sharp blades, making William ashamed.

“Ms. Jenner.” The general manager stretched his arm respectfully. “After you!”

Cordelia pursed her lips and went with him. The general manager clapped, and two attendants instantly came over, stopping reporters from bothering her.

Yelena stomped hard as she watched Cordelia being escorted to the dazzling hall like a star.

Cordelia went into a room with the general manager. It was beautiful as if it was a fairy’s lair.

However, the room was located far from the banquet hall. She could no longer hear the noise.

Exquisite and sumptuous dishes were served on the table. There were even attendants on call.

Just as Cordelia was confused by the situation, the general manager smiled at her. “You may eat first, Ms. Jenner. My master knew that you didn’t come in a gown, so he arranged to put you here. Are you happy with this?”

Cordelia was stunned before nodding hard.
