Chapter 98 Acting? Design?


After midnight, the banquet finally came to an end, and the guests began to leave. As the hostess, Galatea naturally stayed with Alaric until the end. "It's late now. Mr. Alaric and Mrs. Knight should go back and rest," Ambrose casually said before leaving.

Galatea still felt his indifference and composure, as if he truly didn't recognize her. She inwardly took a deep breath, feeling both pitiful and relieved. Meeting again felt like strangers passing by without any disturbance. After seeing off all the guests, Galatea followed Alaric into the car. She knew that he had already figured everything out. She thought he would angrily interrogate her, but surprisingly, he remained calm.

He didn't ask her anything. Soft music played in the car, creating a soothing atmosphere. Galatea didn't speak either since Alaric remained silent.

When the car reached her home, Alaric advised her, "It's been a tiring day. Go back and have a rest."

"Okay, you too." After saying that, Galatea pushed open the door and got out of the car, standing on the side of the road and watching his car drive away.

Alaric's silence made her feel unsettled. Since it was now the middle of the night, and both their children were asleep. Seeing that Mia was still awake, Galatea asked, "It's so late. Mia, aren't you going to rest?"

"As I've gotten older, my sleep has worsened," Mia looked at her attire and smiled with the pride of a mother, "Stellan, you look really beautiful in that dress."

Galatea smiled faintly, and then Mia asked again, "How was the banquet today? After all these years of not attending such occasions, did you feel comfortable?" "There wasn't anything uncomfortable, but..." Mia was not an outsider, and Galatea had no one else to say this to except Mia, "I saw Ambrose."

"What?" Mia was shocked to hear this. "How did that scumbag suddenly come back? And he went to the banquet too?"

Galatea nodded and truthfully answered, "Not only that, he is now Alaric's business partner. I overheard something, and he seems to be a high-level executive of the Far East construction company."

"That scumbag has always been willing to do anything to climb up the ladder." Mia couldn't help but start talking, "As the master pointed out, he was with you because you are the daughter of Storm's Family. So he climbed up in the company. Although your father wasn't satisfied with him in the beginning, Mr. Storm valued him later. He ran away when things went wrong. Such a heartless person!"

she continued, then looked at Galatea and, fearing that she would become upset, stopped talking and asked, "What was his reaction when he saw you?" "No reaction at all, as if he didn't recognize me." After saying this, Galatea sighed and then smiled to pretend to be relaxed. She said, "This result is the
