Chapter 1604: Chapter 1818

Amidst the eager anticipation of everyone, Ellsworth spoke slowly.

“Congratulations to the AN Group.

It’s my privilege to partner with your company for the upcoming project.

”

A young woman in the front row gasped in excitement.

The AN Group was led by Danilo, who, like Lucinda and Nathan, had toured the museum the day before.

As the applause resonated, Nala, Danilo’s girlfriend, embraced him joyfully.

Danilo remarked, “You’re the one behind this plan.

It’s all thanks to your efforts.

”

Gratefully, Nala responded, “Thank you, Danilo.

I love you.

”

After Danilo and Nala exchanged affectionate words and hugs, Nala, elegantly dressed, gracefully rose to her feet and greeted all the guests with a modest smile.

From Lucinda’s vantage point, all she could see was Nala’s back and a subtle glimpse of her profile.

Lucinda tightened her grip on Nathan’s hand and narrowed her eyes.

“That’s her, the woman who resembles Valerie.

”

Was her name Nala Diaz?

Lucinda kept echoing the name in her mind over and over again.

A short distance away, Nala confidently left her chair and approached the stage, extending a friendly hand to Ellsworth, witnessed by the multitude of cameras.

It wasn’t until Nala strolled onto the stage and greeted the guests with a smile that Lucinda finally got a clear look at Nala’s face.

It was a face unfamiliar to her, certainly not Valerie’s.

Nala had distinct differences from Valerie: a more prominent nose, larger and vivid eyes, and a smaller forehead.

Her appearance was cute and endearing, and she had a welcoming smile.

Lucinda gazed at Nala’s face and felt that every feature resembled Valerie’s.

Moreover, could there be someone with an almost identical rear view?

As Lucinda pondered, her eyes grew progressively colder.

Following the bidding, all the guests departed one by one.

Out of the blue, Nathan’s phone rang.

He hurried to a nearby quiet corridor to take the call.

Ever since Nala stepped off the stage, Lucinda’s gaze remained locked on her.

Watching Nala converse with Danilo, Lucinda approached confidently in her heels.
