Tonight's engagement party was full of twists and turns, with constant climaxes.
The guests originally came to attend the engagement of Eldest Miss Sterling and Mr. Grant. Although the two main characters didn't cause any scandals, with the appearances of the Ford Family and Eldest Miss Sterling's biological mother, everyone became especially interested in Simon Sterling's past affairs.
Those uninformed were wildly speculating, getting more excited the more they talked.
Those in the know, fearing the Ford Family, kept their mouths shut, pretending to know nothing.
However, they all understood that the cooperation between The Sterling Family and the Ford Family would no longer exist, or rather, from the beginning, the Ford Family aimed at The Sterling Family, using Simon Sterling to stabilize their position in the Imperial Capital. This relationship was meant to break.
The return of Eldest Miss Sterling and Claire Sullivan's appearance were merely catalysts.
