CHAPTER 788 THE RETURN OF THE SOCIALITE!
Chapter 788 The Return of the Socialite!
Leading the way were two middle-aged men in their fifties, with stern faces and tall figures. The military
green overcoats they wore were adorned with countless badges and insignias on their shoulders,
making them particularly eye-catching.
The people following behind them were all tall and sturdy, with a powerful aura.
The moment this group of people walked in, the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall seemed to
become solemn.
Under the stunned gaze of Vivian and her group, Patrick calmly walked forward and greeted them, "Mr.
Holland, General Robertson."
Sidney Holland raised his hand wearing white gloves and patted Patrick's shoulder, his tone stern but
his gaze gentle, "I never expected that Callum would hide such a beautiful young lady. The Turner
family has a daughter, what a great joy..."
Lorenzo Robertson's face was even more cold and detached. He swept his gaze over several young
people, focusing on Christ and Freddie. "Were you causing trouble?"
The young ladies were all frightened, shaking their heads in panic.
Freddie took a deep breath and suppressed the shaking in his chest. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Christ's gaze deepened as he smiled, "General, you misunderstand. We came here specifically to
congratulate Miss Turner's return home."
Lorenzo warned in a harsh voice, "If anyone causes trouble here tonight, don't blame me for being
trigger-happy!"
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked away.
It wasn't until the two military representatives left that the group of people's pale faces gradually
returned to normal.
In the Capital's six military districts, Lorenzo was the old general of the first military district, with
remarkable military achievements. Sidney was in charge of the sixth military district, and the people
following behind them were all generals or lieutenant generals from the two military districts.
Each one was a person of real power...
"Didn't the Turner family fall from grace a long time ago?" Vivian's face turned pale, her voice sharp
and ear-piercing due to jealousy and panic. "Why would the military come all the way here to support
Selena?"
"Who told you that the Turner family fell from grace?" A seductive voice came from the side, and a
graceful figure in a fiery red dress walked over. Her seductive aura and dazzling charm were
unmatched in the City of Charm.
Everyone present was stunned at the sight of her.
Christ narrowed his eyes slightly.
Milana Poole glanced sideways at the group of young talents beside her. "Twenty years ago, the
greatest tragedy in H Country was that a bunch of good-for-nothings who only knew how to take
advantage of the situation were born in the country!"
She sneered, her expression unclear whether it was disgust or contempt. "Just because the bunch of
spineless cowards above you have knelt down, it doesn't mean that everyone's knees are soft. The
Turner family has not fallen, and it never will!"
With those words, everyone's faces at the scene became extremely embarrassed.
However, Milana seemed to pay no attention. She played with her fair fingers and looked at Christ. "I
heard you know Callum's daughter?"
Christ's tone sounded respectful. "Yes."
Milana seemed to be lost in thought for a moment before she asked somewhat emptily, "…who does
she look like?"
Christ's tone softened. "Lady Nevaeh."
Milana was stunned for a moment, and there seemed to be glistening tears in her eyes that were about
to fall. They disappeared in an instant. She suddenly turned and walked out. "So, she doesn't look like
him…"
Christ watched the woman's slightly embarrassed back, suddenly understanding why she had changed
her name and broke with the Poole family.
The man had left Milana with only a self-deceiving name.
For some reason, Christ suddenly spoke up, "Aunt, why don't you stay and meet the daughter of that
Mr. Turner?"
Milana turned abruptly and stared at him fiercely. "I hate Nevaeh!"
After she finished speaking, her figure disappeared from the entrance of the Turner family's mansion.
After Milana left, Vivian came to her senses and sneered, "Mr. Poole, aren't you sorry for your aunt?
The former beauty of the capital betrayed her family, changed her name for a dead man, and ended up
unmarried for life…"
Christ looked up at Vivian, "What's it to you?"
Vivian's heart skipped a beat but she didn't dare to confront Christ and could only suppress her anger.
Freddie pulled her behind him, his face darkening.
Leon stood to the side, his eyes downcast, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
The unexpected events tonight were too much. Regardless of their initial intentions for coming to the
Turner family, after seeing so many things, everyone had lost their initial attitudes.
Just at that moment, a sudden and excited scream echoed through the hall.
"Ah! Lady Selena is coming down!"
With that sentence, everyone's gaze in the hall was immediately drawn towards her.
Selena slowly descended the spiral staircase, her black and gold gown swaying slightly, her exquisite
makeup dazzling under the lights. She tilted her head slightly upward, her bright red lips curving with an
exuberant joy, her beauty extravagant and unbridled, her confidence unshakable.
Countless gasps of amazement erupted from the audience.
For those who had never seen Selena before, seeing the young woman walking towards them, a single
thought crossed their minds:
It's confirmed!
This must be Callum's daughter!
No one in the capital, except for him and Lady Nevaeh, could have produced such an outstanding
daughter in terms of beauty and poise.
Christ's eyes revealed a sense of amazement, which then turned into a deeper and hotter passion.
Leon looked a bit dazed.
Freddie's already dark complexion became even darker.
At the same time, the lights in the hall dimmed, and the decorations that had been placed in the
corners revealed their true value.
Complete sets of Barbie dolls that were already out of print, all sorts of expensive diamond jewelry,
fragrant exotic flowers, and countless exotic treasures. Two golden diamond dragons coiled from the
staircase all the way to Selena's room, seemingly endless...
At this moment, all the debutantes present felt a heart-wrenching jealousy.
The young lady who had previously mocked the Turner family for using counterfeit items sneered, "The
crown on her head is not the one auctioned by the former Y Country royal family, which was rumored to
have been sold for a billion yuan..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of those debutantes turned even more ashen.
They finally understood why, for so many years, the Turner family, which they had deemed to have
fallen, was still seen as a thorn in the side by so many families.
The external power of the Turner family had indeed been taken away, but generations of accumulation
were still there, a deep heritage that no other family in the capital could match.
And the Turner family's scarce bloodline meant that all of these things would be bestowed upon this
young Miss Turner.
The eyes of the debutantes were now filled with envy and jealousy.
Vivian stared at Selena, unable to accept that a woman whom she had once disregarded had become
so noble and radiant before her, and her entire body was trembling uncontrollably.
She looked around in confusion, as if trying to find something.
And then she really did find something!
Osvaldo hadn't come!
That man hadn't come!
The anxious look on Vivian's face suddenly brightened!
