Robert had been a little annoyed by Zachary’s earlier attitude, but after hearing Nellie’s words, he could no longer say anything.

With both families standing together, it looked to outsiders like they were having a lively chat, but in reality, only Nellie and Yulia were keeping the conversation going to avoid awkward silence.

By around 3:30, almost all the guests invited by the Chambers family had arrived. The only ones missing were the two leading ladies of the night. Aside from Zachary, everyone was more excited about Winona’s apprenticeship ceremony, Just then, at the garden entrance, one of the stars of the night, Winona, made a grand entrance arm-in-arm with Richard, fashionably late. Winona knew exactly how to draw attention to herself. She was well aware of her assets, and today she had instructed her makeup artist to give her a bold and radiant look. She wore a long, red strapless gown with a seven-foot train that required two servants to carry.

As soon as Winona entered, she indeed made a stunning impression. Usually, Winona wore white to banquets, and most of the guests were familiar with her in that style. No one expected her to dress so differently today.

Even Victor, who usually preferred the innocent “lily-white” type, was momentarily stunned, his face filled with admiration, his eyes gleaming with desire, and his heart racing.

“Wow, Winona looks absolutely gorgeous today! That outfit must have cost millions!”

“Yeah, I bet it’s at least 10 million. Just the onyx necklace around her neck must be worth over 3 million alone.

“The Chambers family really spares no expense. No matter what happens with Ms. Zeller, who they recently found, can you really compare her to someone like Winona?”

“Winona really played her cards well today. If Ms. Zeller makes an appearance later, the contrast is going to be brutal.”

“Exactly. If I were that Yvette, I wouldn’t dare show my face. I’d just hide inside and avoid the humiliation.”

“Agreed. Besides, ever since she returned to the Chambers family, she hasn’t made any public appearances or attended any banquets. It’s obvious the family doesn’t care much about her. This banquet is just a formality-clearly, it’s all about Winona “I think so too.”

“That must be Mr. Griffin next to her. Winona really knows how to make an entrance-she hasn’t even officially become an apprentice, and she’s already getting this kind of treatment!”

As Winona made her way through the crowd, she heard all the comments she had hoped for, feeling immensely satisfied inside.

Beside her, Richard also felt a sense of pride. ‘Winona is about to become my last student, after all. Complimenting her is ast good as complimenting me.
