Chapter 149

The two-level banquet hall on the ship was opulent, filled with the scent of wealth. Even the burgundy and gold patterned. carpet was custom-made, worth tens of thousands per square meter. Ophelia surveyed the banquet hall and noticed that every man was accompanied by a spouse or a date. Servers in white shirts and black vests moved through the crowd, carrying trays She wore a simple white blazer and slightly heeled shoes, with white wide-leg trousers that made her legs look longer.

Her attire was quite understated compared to the luxurious dresses around her, but her appearance ensured that she wouldn't go unnoticed.

Since earlier that year, the Carnegie family had hosted a family recognition event, causing many to immediately recognize her as Theo's god-granddaughter.

Everyone who attended the recognition event knew she was Kenneth's wife, Kenneth himself had confirmed it.

Additionally, Kenneth was nothing like the rumors claimed; he was neither disabled nor close to death

The background of the Sinclair family was complex, and people were afraid that one slight misstep could erase both themselves and their families.

So, everyone kept Ophelia at a distance, and not even a fly dared buzz near her.

She hadn't expected to see her here. About ten meters away, Phoebe wore a royal blue sequined gown, exuding a remarkably cool and noble aura.

She was stunningly beautiful, with flawless makeup, catching the eye of many men around the room.

Phoebe's gaze happened to meet hers in the air. Ophelia looked away, but Phoebe walked over with a smile as if seeing a long-lost friend. "Elia, can I call you that?"

"Whatever," she said.

Phoebe took a glass of champagne from a nearby waiter's tray and handed it to her. Ophelia glanced at the champagne in the glass, accepted it politely but had no intention of drinking it
