Chapter 288 Had the Luddens shown up at the wrong venue? Were they really here to attend the Everetts' annual banquet? The guests looked at each other in confusion. Queenie's confidence made everyone question whether they were attending the right event.

The elevator door opened once again. This time, Hera and her family of six stepped out Christopher, who was about to leave with his parents, sported Hera. His eyes immediately lit up, and he went to greet her.

"Hi, Ms. Youngworth." At the sight of Christopher beaming at Hera, Alice instantly understood who Christopher wanted to introduce them to. She then looked at Hera.

Hera had a delicate face with a cold expression, fair skin, and braided dark hair. She wore a pale gold base-color evening gown that made her look tall and slender. The fluffy white fur collar made her skin look even fairer, and her demeanor exuded elegance and sophistication.

Her appearance and temperament were both excellent, meeting Alice's standard for a daughter-in-law. Just as she was about to see how Andrew would react, she saw him step forward, politely greeting Hera before shaking hands with James and Gideon: 1 "Mr. Everett, Mr. Gideon, I've heard so much about you." "You're too kind, Dean Ludden. It's my pleasure to meet you," James replied, feeling flattered, Gideon was also surprised. He didn't expect the Luddens to show up here, and from their attitude, it seemed they were invited by Hera. He thought that Hera's influence was indeed Impressive.

But when Gideon gave it another thought, he concluded that it was impossible for Andrew to dislike Hera. After all, she was a top student that dozens of world-renowned colleges coveted. She was Cavenridge's star. With this in mind, Gideon's face beamed with pride.

"Mrs. Everett, Madam Barker, this must be Mr. Gino. He's adorable," Alice said smilingly as she greeted Lilith and the others.

Then, she turned to Hera, "Ms. Everett?" She then looked at Christopher teasingly.

"Is this the mysterious person you want to introduce to me?" Christopher didn't expect his mother to see through him in an instant. He blushed slightly and nodded shyly "Yes. Her nis Hera Youngworth. Hera, this is my mother." Hearing that introduction, Alice exclaimed softly, "Hera Youngworth? You are Cavenridge's top student and the school belle!" "Hello, Mrs. Ludden." Hera politely extended her right hand.

"Hello, Hera. Christopher often talks about you. You're even more beautiful than I expected. There's no need to callMrs. Ludden-that's too formal. Just callAlice," Alice said, liking Hera even more for her politeness, Alice found Hera to be beautiful, academically outstanding, and well-mannered. She thought Hera was truly a rare gem for a daughter-in-law. The Implications of Alice's words were clear. They were hinting at an alliance between the families through marriage.

Reporters who followed the gossip were overjoyed with the unexpected scoop.

The Gaskells had called off the engagement with the Everetts because they thought Hera, who just returned from the countryside, was a country bumpkin. But it turned out that not only was Hera a beautiful young lady who excelled academically, but she was also sought after by dozens of top universities.

Even the Luddens were eager to form an alliance through marriage.

This was a huge slap in the face for the Gaskells.

"Thank you, Mrs. Ludden. I'll visit you when I have time. Let's go in and chat,” Lilith said pridefully.

As everyone chatted away joyfully, stathed the Gaskells, who tried to persuade the Luddens to stay but were ignored, appeared very awkward.

Just a moment ago, they didn't believe that Christopher's family was there to attend the Everetts banquet. Now, they had to

Queenie's face darkened. Reporters were nearby, and the quests were! watching. How Could they let the Everetts steal the limelight? With a forced smile, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gideon brought his whole family." "Everyone present is our guest. Since they're here, just have the walter add more seats."
