The day of the banquet.
Socialites gathered, surrounded by media, making this banquet both luxurious and grand.
Alexander Skylane's presence at the scene attracted countless cameras.
Under the flashlights, his expression remained unchanged, a gentle warmth emanating from him, and the white suit he wore accentuated his elegance and aloofness.
Ever since he arrived in the country, reporters tried various ways to interview Alexander Skylane, but they never got the chance.
After the banquet today, there will be a Q&A session, and all the reporters are eager to dig up some exclusive news.
At this time, four people walked in through the door.
The originally somewhat noisy banquet hall instantly fell silent.
Everyone stared in shock at the man leading the group.
It's important to know that while Durrell Landon is a film emperor, he rarely appears for occasions other than essential interviews. Everyone thought Zeke Landon would be the one attending this event.
After almost a few minutes of silence at the banquet, whispers started to rise again: "The representative from the Landon Family is actually Durrell Landon?"
Today, he also wore a white suit, but unlike Alexander Skylane's refined otherworldliness, Durrell Landon exuded a touch of determination and allure, like a poppy blooming at midnight, captivatingly charming.
Julian Haworth ignored the public attention around him, remaining puzzled only by why Durrell would make a point of wearing a white suit today. After seeing Alexander Skylane, he seemed somewhat enlightened.
"Knight Tamworth, don't you think Brother Ming is deliberately crashing the party?"
Oliver Gale wore a smile both deep and light: "Julian, don't doubt it, that's exactly Durrell's intention."
Julian Haworth: "..."
Quiana Sutton stood in a corner; truth be told, she never had any interest in such parties. If she hadn't promised Alexander Skylane, she wouldn't have come.
Initially sipping the fine wine of the banquet, she instinctively looked towards the source of the magnetic field when the hall fell silent.
Since entering the venue, Durrell Landon hadn't spoken a word, yet he still dominated everyone's attention.
She looked playfully at Durrell Landon in the distance but suddenly noticed he was also looking at her, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
She hadn't informed Durrell about attending the banquet and was standing in a dim corner at the moment.
How could Durrell Landon spot her presence so easily?
Then, she noticed a white figure elegantly approaching Durrell Landon, affectionately calling out:
"Durrell..."
Seeing Evelyn Windsor suddenly appear, the amusement in Durrell Landon's eyes vanished without a trace.
Before he could say a word, the surrounding crowd had already become agitated.
"It's Queen Windsor."
Evelyn Windsor hadn't participated in any interviews since returning to the country, so attending this banquet was unexpected. Perhaps all notable family scions in Capital City had gathered today.
They had heard rumors early on that the Landon and Windsor families might form a marriage alliance, but it seemed to have been abandoned when Evelyn Windsor moved abroad. Now, it seemed like old feelings might reignite between these two.
"Wow, what a reunion! Quick, take pictures, take pictures."
They not only wanted to grab the headline for the economic section but also the entertainment section.
Seeing Evelyn Windsor slowly walking towards Durrell Landon, Quiana Sutton set down her wine glass, her playful expression turning a bit cold.
The person Durrell Landon was looking at was indeed not her, but Evelyn Windsor.
Suddenly uninterested, she turned to leave.
Evelyn Windsor stood before Durrell Landon, undisguised affection in her eyes:
"Durrell, what a coincidence."
Durrell Landon furrowed his brows slightly. Looking beyond Evelyn Windsor, he noticed Quiana Sutton had disappeared. His heart filled with irritation, and his gaze towards Evelyn turned cold:
"There are more than just the Landon and Windsor families attending today. Let's skip the coincidence."
Then he glanced at Oliver Gale and the others beside him, "Are you implying it's also a coincidence with them?"
Evelyn Windsor: "..."
Who cares about coincidence with them?
Oliver Gale struggled to suppress his laughter, and before he burst out, he cleared his throat: "Um, you two chat, I have something to attend to, I'll take my leave first."
With that, he slipped away.
Seeing Evelyn Windsor's deep affection in front of Durrell Landon was less entertaining than hanging out with Quiana Sutton.
He could also have some fun with Alexander Skylane.
Seeing Oliver Gale leaving, Durrell Landon also intended to find Quiana Sutton but was suddenly grabbed by Evelyn Windsor.
"Wait!"
Today, she had to clarify things. She feared that if she delayed any longer, she wouldn't have another chance to explain.
"Durrell, I know I owe you an explanation. It was my fault for leaving without a word three years ago. But can you give me another chance?"
Durrell Landon decisively shook off her hand: "Since you vanished without a word, there's nothing between us anymore, let alone that I already have someone I like."
As soon as he said it, everyone around them gasped.
The media went into a frenzy.
They regretted not taking photos or videos; even a livestream would have sufficed.
#Queen Windsor professes love publicly, gets rejected#
#Film Emperor Landon publicly admits, has another admirer#
They could already imagine these topics trending or even going viral within minutes if released.
"Do you know who it is?"
"Who knows? Why don't you go ask?"
"Do you think I'm a fool to go and court bad luck?"
Moreover, even if they knew the answer, without the Landon Family's permission, can they just expose it?
Knowing the answer without being able to reveal it would be even more frustrating.
Evelyn Windsor looked at Durrell Landon in disbelief, unable to accept that he could like someone else.
"Durrell, you're lying to me, aren't you?"
Among all the noblewomen in Capital City, none could get close to Durrell, except for her who could be within a meter of him. That's why she firmly believed Durrell loved her deeply, and even if she left without a word, he could forgive her.
Now Durrell Landon suddenly claimed he had someone he liked, which she couldn't accept at all.
"Durrell, you're lying to me, right? You're just trying to make me mad, aren't you?"
Durrell Landon didn't reply, leaving her only a heartless back…
Julian Haworth glanced at Evelyn Windsor, seemingly stunned in place, and softly remarked:
"Chloe Cloud, since you left without a word back then, you should have expected this possibility, shouldn't you?"
