Emmeline raised her eyebrows. "I'd be happy if he does have a crush on me. It only means that I'm popular."

"Tch!" Alana scoffed jealously.

Everyone knew that Benjamin York was the most desirable bachelor in Struyria. Any woman would find it a great honor if Benjamin had a crush on them.

Alana could tell that Benjamin did not even look at her!

Abel slightly narrowed his gaze.

Benjamin would pose a huge threat if he were interested in Emmeline.

There's something more to that man than meets the eye.

The three people got out of the car. Ethan jogged to Emmeline. "Emma!"

"Ethan."

Benjamin smiled warmly at Emmeline. "We meet again, Ms. Louise."

"You're so enthusiastic, Mr. York. I didn't expect you to be interested in a child's party," Emmeline said with a smile.

"It's not really about the party," Benjamin said and flashed a knowing smile.

Emmeline also smiled at Benjamin, while Alana's face sank.

Emmeline is such a seductress!

Everyone at the scene could tell that Benjamin had a crush on Emmeline. It was not surprising that they were seen together.

Abel said nothing, though he could feel the jealousy brewing in his stomach.

"Where are the kids, Emma?" Ethan asked. "Mr. York brought them presents."

"They're with Daisy and Luca," Emmeline replied. "They should have gone in by now."

Adrien came over, dressed smartly in a suit. "The triplets are with their great-grandparents. They're waiting for you, Emmeline!"

He reached out to take Emmeline's hand, but Benjamin stepped in between them.

Adrien shifted aside to take her other hand, but Abel discreetly stood in the way.

While Adrien hesitated, Emmeline lifted her gown and stepped into the mansion.

The banquet hall was very extravagant. Guests filled every seat, and most of them were Oscar's friends.

Abel, Emmeline, and Benjamin's appearance attracted everyone's attention.

What caught the guests' eye the most was the beautiful young woman being flanked by two extraordinary men.

While they admired Emmeline's appearance, they began to whisper to each other.

"Abel Ryker, the CEO of Ryker Group, is escorting her. Is she his girlfriend?"

"No, the CEO of Adelmar Group is next to her too. Who is she?"

"Don't tell me you don't know her!" Alana said to the woman next to her. "That's Emmeline Louise, the loose woman who gave birth to a set of triplets for Adrien Ryker! Five years ago, she's the epicenter of a scandal!"

"Oh, so that's her! No wonder she looks familiar."

"Why would Emmeline be standing next to Abel? There's also Mr. York from the Adelmar Group!"

"If she's loose enough to have babies for Adrien, it wouldn't be a surprise to see her with other men!" Alana said with a smirk. "You'd better keep a close eye on your husbands. They might be her next target!"

"That makes sense!" The woman quickly went over to chat with her friend, and the gossip began to spread around the hall.
