The night was dim, and an air of mystery surrounded the party hosted by Minton International. Rumor had it that Odie had arrived in Devonport, attracting the attention of many prestigious families eager to make his acquaintance.

This particular evening, Minton International had organized a soiree held in a private villa that had gone unnoticed until now.

Sophie, a long-tresident of Devonport, had never cacross this building before. It seemed as if it had magically appeared, sparking curiosity within her. However, pondering over this mystery wasn't her priority at the moment.

The event hosted by Minton International was graced by business partners based in Devonport alongside top influencers and leading actresses active across various platforms.

As Sophie stepped out of her car, she immediately noticed so many famous celebrities.

Sophie wore a mask distributed by Minton International, which concealed half of her face, and donned a simple yet elegant white mermaid dress. She inadvertently drew attention due to her unfamiliar presence.

Minton International was known for its lavish balls, making it easy for attendees to recognize each other even behind masks. However, Sophie was an exception; no one recognized her, marking her as an unfamiliar face. She had access to Minton International's event thanks to Aldridge Global's clout in the entertainment industry. Despite suspicions from others, it was understood that attendees were either wealthy or of high social standing, so no one questioned Sophie's presence.

"Invitation, please." The guard's indifferent tone didn't upset anyone, as guests willingly presented their invitations. It was a sight to behold as business magnates and celebrities humbly sought entry into Minton International's main event. When it was Sophie's turn, the guard gave her a scrutinizing look, which she found displeasing. Yet, she had no choice but to act oblivious.

"Your invitation." Upon seeing the Aldridge Global invitation, the guard's demeanor softened, "Please, cin." Sophie nodded.

The event was predominantly attended by business tycoons and female stars, with scarcely any male celebrities present.

The hall was bustling with guests. Sophie remembered Gordon's advice to remain inconspicuous and use her familiarity with high society to identify the entrepreneurs attending the event on behalf of Minton International.

Following Gordon's advice, Sophie casually picked up a glass of juice and moved to a corner.

Among the attendees were long-term collaborators with Burker International from the Drennon family, leading figures in the real-estate sector like the Morris family, the Nelson family from the construction industry, and the Calpri family in electronics.

Having spent talongside James, Sophie recognized many entrepreneurs and was surprised Minton International's extensive influence in Devonport. These influential business figures were eager to curry favor with International, hinting at Minton significant clout.

Moreover, dealings with Minton International were required to be transactional. This raised suspicions since many of these businesses publicly claimed to be philanthropic. So, unofficial dealings with Minton International suggested covert collaborations.

As Sophie focused on her observations, a figure in a crisp white shirt and a gentlemanly demeanor, wearing a mask, approached. She instantly recognized him as Ricardo. Fearing recognition, Sophie discreetly moved aside.

Ricardo, clearly well-acquainted with the attendees, seemed to be a regular at Minton International's events. "Mr. Ricardo, business seems challenging lately. Need any assistance?" someone asked.

"Just minor setbacks. I'll handle them once I return to Bloomsbury. But of course, I'm I'm keen on partnering with Minton International," Ricardo replied, raising his glass in a toast.

Sophie, listening from a distance, confirmed that Ricardo was om conversing with a representative from Minton International. Just then, Ricardo seemed to notice something and looked towards Sophie.

Instinctively, Sophie averted her gaze and turned away, exposing only her back to Ricardo.

Ricardo frowned slightly, prompting an attendee to tap him lightly and ask, "Mr. Ricardo, who just caught your eye?" "No one."

The middle-aged man watched Sophie's retreating figure and commented, "This woman seems la bit unfamiliar probably a newcomer making her debut in the entertainment industry. If you take a liking to her, you could take her htonight, Mr. Ricardo." X
