Chapter 781 A cocktail party of the political circle

Today's Austos International Hotel was not as bustling as it used to be. After all, it was a party of political circles, not as relaxing and lively as a business party.

Soothing music slowly sounded in the hall. People in suits were whispering to each other with their heads down.

Lucia stood side by side with Edmund. They kept a certain distance from each other. There seemed to be some alienation between them. Lucia held orange juice in her hand. All the people who came to make a toast to Lucia were stopped by Edmund.
