Chapter 222: Chapter 219: The Banquet

"Norman, here." Mia led them over, followed by Mrs. Clarke and Lily Clarke.

Seeing this, Elliana still politely said, "Aunt Clarke."

Greetings were necessary at such occasions; there was no need to take offense.

However, Mia seemed oblivious to her, looking straight at Norman and then turned to introduce, "Norman, this is Mrs. Clarke and her beloved daughter, Miss Lily Clarke."

With this introduction, she glanced at the two beside Mia.

She knew Lily Clarke, though they hadn’t worked together, she had watched Lily’s dramas during college, a senior in the industry.

Besides, Lily had a good reputation in the film industry, making Elliana quite fond of her.

Norman nodded insignificantly, his expression indifferent, showing no emotion.

"Haha~"

Mia suddenly covered her face with a smile, intentionally coy, "Miss Lyle is here too, I’m really sorry, I hardly noticed you earlier."

That only shows you’re blind.

"No problem, Aunt Clarke." Elliana maintained a composed smile, unaffected, clearly aware of what kind of person Mia was.

This little matter was of no concern to her.

"If I remember correctly, the Lyle family wasn’t invited today, was it?" Mia challenged again, her voice loud enough that many looked over.

Some were curious; some anticipated her humiliation.

Before she could respond, a gentle voice was heard.

"Hello, Mr. Bennett, I’m Lily Clarke." Lily proactively reached out to Norman, a smile of admiration on her face with glimmers in her eyes.

Being a woman, Elliana naturally saw through Lily’s intentions, and with Mia combined, she instantly understood.

So she stepped in and accepted Lily’s hand for Norman, smiling appropriately, "Miss Clarke, let me introduce, this is my husband, Norman Bennett."
