"No. It's just..." Elijah stumbled over his words as if there was something difficult to say.

Vicky and Elijah had become good friends at this point, and she instantly sensed that something was bothering him.

She asked softly, "What's really going on? Can you tell me?"

After much hesitation, Elijah finally spoke up, ’Vicky, well... I recently met a girl..."

Vicky paused for a moment and instantly understood. "So, you and her..."

"I... I have entered into a relationship with her recently," Elijah said, avoiding Vicky's gaze.

Upon hearing this, Vicky did not have a strong reaction. She nodded and asked, "So, does this mean that our

agreement ends here?"

Elijah hurriedly said, "No. My whole family likes you, especially my grandmother. She even declared that you are the

only granddaughter-in law she will ever accept. So, I was wondering... if you could continue to help me while my

grandmother is still alive?" Realizing that his request might be unfair, Elijah felt ashamed. "I know this is a bit unfair

to you, but..."

Vicky interrupted him with a smile, ’I have no qualms to continue helping you out. Is there any issue with your

girlfriend?"

"I've already explained the situation to her, and she's understanding. It's just that..." Elijah shot her a guilty look and

continued, "She hopes that we maintain some distance when we're alone together. So..."

"I understand," Vicky said calmly.

She opened the car door and took a seat in the back.

Vicky liked Elijah's family, and she enjoyed Elijah's company as well.

However, their relationship would remain a friendship. She did not have any romantic feelings for him.

The fact that Elijah was keeping his distance now that he had a girlfriend only convinced Vicky that he was a decent

man.

By the time they finished picking out a gift at the mall, it was already lunchtime.

To avoid any misunderstandings with Elijah's girlfriend, Vicky did not have lunch with him and went straight home.

Time passed quickly, and it was soon time for Old Madam Harrisons’ birthday.

The Harrisons were a wealthy and influential family, so the guests invited to the birthday banquet were naturally

from high society.

Old Madam Harrisons' birthday celebration was held at the family's mansion.

As the ’granddaughter-in-law" of the family, Vicky arrived early to help out.

There were servants working in the house, so there was no need for Vicky to do any menial tasks. But as "one of

their own", Vicky had to greet the guests alongside Elijah's parents.

Although the Harrisons did not dabble much in the business world, being part of high society meant that Vicky

encountered many familiar faces when receiving guests.

Those familiar faces were filled with shock when they saw her. It was not because Vicky had divorced Tyler, but

rather that she had found a new partner so quickly, and a well-to-do one at that.

Vicky maintained a composed demeanor, responding to the curious gazes with an appropriate smile without

revealing any flaws.

As the time for the banquet approached, the hall became increasingly crowded.

Elijah's family was already busy attending to their guests, and even Vicky started to feel a bit overwhelmed.

When she was married to Tyler, he rarely hosted parties. On the rare occasions that he did, he hired agents to

organize the events, so she was not required to do much. Therefore, this whole ordeal was a brand-new experience

for her.

Though she felt tired, she also felt like a part of the family.

Five minutes before the banquet was supposed to start, Elijah's mother said to Vicky, "Vicky, I'm going to bring my

mother-in-law here. Can you take care of things for me?"

Vicky scanned around and noticed that both Elijah and his father had their hands full, so she nodded. "Sure, Aunty.

You can leave this to me."

Elijah's mother hurried away.

By this point, most of the guests had already arrived. Although Vicky waited by the entrance, there were not many

guests entering.
