“Are we giving a bad impression to others?”

Hugging her lean waist, Michael chuckled and said, “How so?”

Sophia grunted before throwing a glance at Sarah, who was sitting on Harry’s lap. Seeing that, Sophia felt better. As such, she continued to sit on Michael’s lap and play cards in peace.

At this juncture, she took a quick look at her outfit. They were both wearing a matching customized outfit from LK. Then she said, “We’re wearing a matching outfit. Is this a bit too high-profile?”

Michael responded, “No. Not at all.”

Truth be told, I can’t wait to let the entire world see it!

I want to announce to the whole world that I have a wife now, and she’s a stunning woman.

While Sophia was up against Stanley in this round, Michael sneaked glances at Stanley’s deck and said to Sophia, “He has one king and two sets of bombs. Be careful.”

Hearing that, Stanley responded, “Uncle Michael, that’s not very fair of you.”

As more guests arrived, the number of people in the living room increased. Meanwhile, the band that Linus hired started performing. The band had a lead singer who was currently singing a Nordic song, rendering the atmosphere polished and relaxed. After all, banquets were just a vanity fair for people to meet each other and mingle around.

 

In this vanity fair, many pretentious people were trying to approach people they wanted to befriend in order to further their goals. Right now, there were several smaller groups of three to five people chatting with each other while holding wine glasses in their hands. They were either chatting or enjoying the extravagant special effects that Linus specially put up for this banquet. Every time a fairy appeared, everyone present would be in awe.

All of a sudden, Sophia, who was still in the middle of the game, shuddered. Looking up, hatred instantly filled her almond-shaped eyes.

In a split second, the atmosphere tensed up.

At this moment, everyone subconsciously looked toward the entrance; it was Irene Weber.

In the past, Irene was always seen in her military uniform. Today, she was dressed in a tailor-made dress that outlined her voluptuous body; she looked truly seductive. In her thirties, this was the best time of her life—she was mature and elegant. Upon showing up, she began to look around the room with her beautiful eyes. Her lean neck looked like that of a swan—it was extremely inviting. Furthermore, her outstanding aura as a female soldier plus her towering 170-centimeter figure in a pair of high heels made her stand out in a sea of rich and famous ladies.

The moment she appeared, a group of people went up and surrounded her.
