Chapter 15 15
The banquet was nothing short of grand.
The venue was chosen to be the Radiance Hotel in Mecpus, its interior designed to evoke the grandeur and splendor of
ancient Chinese imperial banquets, usually closed to the public.
But this time, it seemed like everyone who could be invited was invited.
Rumor had it that the event was to introduce the true shareholder of the Glow Group, the enigmatic heiress cherished by
both the Miller and Clark families. No one had been able to uncover her name, which showed just how well she was
hidden.
Over the years, many had tried to dig up information about this enigmatic heiress, but all had failed. Moreover, those who attempted to investigate her often faced significant repercussions, eventually giving up on their efforts.
People speculated that the leadership of the two major groups might be changing.
Everyone knew that the largest actual shareholder of the Glow Group was Ms. Miller’s half–sister, the Clark family’s heiress,
and the CEO was the Clark family’s adopted son, Ms. Miller’s husband.
There was also a possibility that this event would formally announce a collaboration with the Lewis Group.
After all, the Underwater World project was a venture that could influence Mecpus’s economy for the next decade and drive
trillions in assets.
The luxurious hall was brightly lit, with lights soft and warm as daylight.
A faint, refreshing floral scent filled the air.
When I walked into the hall, holding my brother Jasper’s arm with my left hand and my sister Rosalie’s arm with my right, the previously lively scene instantly quieted down.
All eyes were on us.
The guests wore expressions of amazement.
I was dressed in a custom–made silver–white gown. Rosalie had told me it was called the “Celestial Gown,” and under the lights, it seemed to flow like the Milky Way’s moonlight.
To be honest, I felt a bit nervous.
I wondered what Theo, standing somewhere in the crowd, would think when he saw me. Would he be stunned?
Indeed, Theo stood frozen the moment he saw me. His eyes were fixed on me, his face showing a complex mix of
emotions.
There was shock, regret, and unwillingness…
He had never imagined that a woman who once depended on him could transform into the Clark family’s heiress, her features unchanged but now she was dazzling, commanding attention with her newfound confidence and poise.

Especially those legs, long and straight, without a hint of a problem.
Regret and frustration slowly filled his heart…
He didn’t notice Cecilia, who was holding his arm, her face gradually paling.
Rosalie’s eyes were filled with affection for me as she smiled and introduced me to everyone, “Thank you all for coming
Let me introduce the jewel of the Miller and Clark families, Thea, our most beloved sister.”
The atmosphere in the hall seemed to grow even more lively and congenial.
At least on the surface, everyone outwardly displayed their admiration for me, casting friendly and appreciative glances my
way.
Someone was quick to respond, “Ms. Miller, wasn’t your sister once engaged to Theo from the Lewis Group? And didn’t she
have some issues with her legs before…”
