Meanwhile, inside the grand Maple Hotel, Melody frowned as she noticed the dwindling number of guests. “Where is everyone going?”

A servant approached her cautiously. “Mrs. Nichols Sr many of the guests have excused themselves and gone out. Something big might be happening next door.”

Melody took a deep breath. “I’ll go take a look.”

Despite the Nichols family’s high status in Seamar City, it seemed like the only people left at their engagement party were their business partners.

Storming outside, she was met with the sight of a steady stream of guests heading toward the Houstons‘ party.

Her anger flared. She snapped at a nearby security guard, “What is going on here? Did you mistreat the guests?”

If all these prominent figures in Seamar City gathered at the Houston family’s party, few would be willing to attend the Nichols‘ party.

Sophie tried to soothe her. “Mrs. Nichols Sr., don’t worry. Many of your friends and the ladies from Plaso are here.”

Those businessmen weren’t foolish. To curry favor with both sides, some sent their wives to the neighboring banquet to show their goodwill.

Before Melody could cool down, a luxury van pulled up in front of the Royal Grand Hotel.

The crowd buzzed with excitement as a handsome man stepped out, removing his sunglasses to reveal a face that was instantly recognizable.

party.

Melody couldn’t contain her anger. “The Houstons are going too far.”

They had stolen all the guests, and the news would definitely cover this.

One of the hotel staff rushed up and whispered something to Melody.

Melody’s expression grew even darker. “What? What happened to the dress?”

The maid hesitated. “Ma’am, you should come inside and see for yourself.”

Melody hurried back inside and saw Shelia descending the staircase. When her eyes landed on Shelia’s dress, she almost fainted from rage.
