NovelXXXChapter 118
A group of heavily made-up socialites stood near the entrance while holding champagne glasses and chatting
animatedly.
However, their eyes were fixed on the door, eager to greet the members of the Savage family as soon as they
arrived.
When they saw Diana and the others enter, their expressions turned to disappointment. However, they quickly
shifted their focus to Yolanda.
One woman in a red dress leaned closer to her companions and whispered, "Have you heard? The Henderson
family and the Savage family used to be close, and when Mr. Savage Senior was alive, he arranged a marriage
between the families."
"No way..."

Another woman gasped while covering her mouth exaggeratedly. "One of those two women was the betrothed?
Which one?"
"It must be the one in the blue dress! There's no way the Savage family would choose an ugly creature for a
daughter-in-law!"
"True, but the Henderson family is lucky. If they can marry into the Savage family, they'll have a backer!"
The woman in red shot a jealous glance at Diana and sneered, "Honestly, her daughter isn't that pretty. She just
looks decent next to the other ugly creature."
"They say the head of the Savage family values loyalty. | heard Mrs. Savage didn't agree at first, but Mr. Savage
refused to go against Mr. Savage Senior's wishes, so she had to relent..."
Diana overheard their comments, and her face gradually darkened. Still, she forced a smile and pretended not to
hear them. She greeted others and engaged in light conversation with the socialites.
Yolanda, however, was uninterested in such superficial interactions. She ignored the spiteful comments from the
older women and headed to the terrace beside the banquet hall. She enjoyed the moonlight while savoring a
piece of tiramisu and a glass of orange juice.
About half an hour later, after most guests had arrived, Arthur and Priscilla finally made their grand entrance.
Typically, hosts would arrive early for events, but the Savage family's status allowed them to stroll in whenever
they pleased without facing any complaints. The guests would even rise eagerly to greet them.
"Mr. Savage, I'm Kai Fisher from Raven Corporation. Here's my business card!" "Mr. Savage, I'm..."
Arthur walked through the crowd with a stern expression and did not spare a glance at the eager newcomers.
This event was important to the Savage family, and they had invited all the major families from Riverdale. The
last tsuch a grand affair occurred was at Henry's engagement banquet, but the scale of today's event far
surpassed that.
"Everyone, please quiet down!" Arthur stepped into the center of the banquet hall and took the microphone from

"First, I'd like to welcyou all to the Savage family's banquet. On behalf of the Savage family, | thank you for
coming!" As he spoke, thunderous applause erupted around him.
Then, he took Priscilla's hand and began greeting members of the elite families nearby.
His arrival marked a new phase for the evening. Socialites and wealthy businessmen who had brought their
daughters were eager to introduce their children to Arthur and Priscilla.
After all, the Savage family hadn't announced any engagements yet, and shopeful parents clung to the
possibility of their daughters winning favor with Arthur and Priscilla.
For any family, an alliance with the Savage family promised immense benefits.
Seeing the socialites fawning over Priscilla with their daughters, Diana sneered disdainfully and muttered, "All
their efforts are pointless! Back then, Mr. Savage Senior personally chose our family for a marriage alliance!"
