CHAPTER 710 A NEW BEGINNING
Dazzling light is reflected everywhere in the golden crystal palace.
It was the first time Leo had come here, and to Leo's surprise, Lydia was actually here for the first time
as well.
Facing Leo's surprised gaze, Lydia blushed and explained, "In the past, although I was Henderson’s
eldest young lady, my status was not the highest, and the people who came in and out of the Crystal
Palace were all big shots who could really influence the pattern of Valenham."
"So that's it."
Leo nodded with dawning understanding.
Lydia used to be the eldest princess of the Henderson family, but her influence only existed in the
upper class circles of the business world.
Of the three worlds, military, business and government, the relatively least influential is the business
world.
People respect Lydia only for her status as the eldest princess of the Henderson Clan, not for herself.
Now that she has been thrown out of the family, no one will care about her.
Lydia's fists clenched, lightly biting her lips, her eyes complicated, "Leo, now that I'm no longer
Henderson’s eldest lady, it will only become more and more difficult for us to stand firm in Valenham,
will you dislike me?"
Her voice was getting lower and lower, just like a mosquito's cry, and she dared not look up at Leo's
eyes.
Leo's face changed slightly and he said gently, "Why did you say such a thing? Why should I dislike
you?"
Lydia became emotional all of a sudden, "Because ...... I'm just an ordinary person now."
Previously, when she was the eldest Miss Henderson, she had always been the one to do the dominant
role with Leo.
But as Leo gradually revealed his strength and identity, Lydia felt shocked and at the same time
gradually set her attitude towards Leo straight.
But now, she is no longer Henderson’s eldest lady, and Leo is still the same as before.
Now Lydia has a deep inferiority complex, feeling that it is she who is not good enough for Leo.
In particular, Leo took her into the Crystal Palace.
Leo smiled, gently ruffled Lydia's long hair and smiled, "Since that incident five years ago, it's me who
should say sorry, and I should be the one who is not good enough for you."
"Even if you weren't Henderson’s first lady anymore, I'd still make you a princess all the same."
"And you too."
Leo lowered his head and stroked Emilia's head.
Emilia gave a sweet smile.
"Let's go."
"The draw lots of Dongcheng Hutong is about to begin."
Leo naturally took Lydia's hand, while pulling Emilia, and walked into the lift of the Crystal Palace.
The lift goes all the way up and stops at the top floor.
The moment the door opened, Leo immediately smelt a mixture of champagne and rose scent.
This is another world, a world that some people spend their whole lives not being able to enter.
In front of him, there is a huge commercial place, in addition to the large screens around which
advertisements for JWCC and Dongcheng Hutong are playing on a loop, there is also an expensive
piano in the middle, and a beautiful woman is playing this piano.
Countless powerful people from Valenham's upper class circles are gathering together, talking and
laughing.
And these people, a class above those who gathered during the day when the Crystal Palace was
open, are the big names who can truly influence the landscape of Valenham.
Lydia stood here and just felt out of place.
Her clothes were much plainer than the other celebrities and noblewomen who were dressed in
glamour. All content is property © .
Leo naturally pulled Lydia to sit down in the corner, fetched some wine and pastries and waited for the
start of the number draw lots in Dongcheng Hutong.
"I now realise that there are so many big shots in Valenham."
Sitting in her seat, Lydia couldn't help but sigh.
Lydia had not spent much time in Valenham, she thought she had been exposed to the comprehensive
upper class circle in the country, but once she came to Valenham, she realised that those so-called
upper class circles in Pearl and Hopkins were nothing at all.
Valenham is the real aristocracy, while those in Pearl and Hopkins can only be considered as profiteers
at best.
Leo laughed, "Everyone has a circle that belongs to them, a millionaire's friend can only be a
millionaire, never a millionaire, that's a circle they can never squeeze into."
"Yeah ......"
Lydia said with heartfelt emotion, but what amazed Leo was that having seen these people in all their
glory and having experienced being thrown out of the royal family, Lydia was actually not depressed at
all.
On the contrary, with a smile, her eyes are filled with light and hope, with a bright yearning for the
future.
"Leo, we have to work hard!"
"Not resting on our laurels, not seeking more wealth or power, but only to give our children, and even
grandchildren, a higher start."
"And let those who bullied me, laughed at me and insulted me in the first place regret it forever!"
Lydia has a look of determination in her eyes and her tone is hushed, but with a strong belief in the
future.
Leo smiled and said faintly, "Okay."
All the blows and trials have not knocked Lydia down, but rather have fuelled her fighting spirit.
Lydia is the same Lydia as before.
But unlike before when she was in a high position and towering over others, now she is more real and
more touchable.
Those that could not defeat her made her stronger in the end!
