---- Chapter 2291 "Don't worry, I'll handle the rest," Brielle said confidently. She looked Aspen up and down, then
nodded with approval. " She's got potential, and more importantly, she's absolutely gorgeous. Andrew, you've
always had quite a bit of luck with women. I'd even say you've got it better than your playboy father ever did!"
Aspen's cheeks turned pink as she said politely, "I'm Aspen Stevens. It's a pleasure to meet you, Madam Baxter."
She already knew this woman was the owner of Chetvine Sovereign's Apothecary and a truly powerful figure
behind the scenes.
Brielle nodded approvingly. "Alright then, we'll be heading out now. Tomorrow I'll deliver the Blackstar Crystal
directly to you, Andrew." Andrew did not say another word and headed back to the Lloyd family estate with
Aspen. Back at the Grand Hall, a completely different scene was unfolding. In the main lobby, Ezekiel's
appearance had captured everyone's attention. ---- Countless eyes were focused on this heir to the Sorya Tristars
Group empire. Guests also whispered among themselves.
"Handsome, wealthy, incredibly skilled in martial arts, absolutely talented, and his background is beyond
reproach. Mr. Beckett is in a league of his own worldwide!" "What makes it even better is that this corporate
prince is supposedly looking to partner with sof Holtrien's most prestigious families." "I wonder which family
will get lucky. Whoever it is will definitely hit the jackpot!" another added "Ezekiel is even more handsthan
those Soryan leading men! I'm totally smitten!" All the VIP guests could not stop praising Ezekiel.

I'm heading downstairs now. You stay here and enjoy yourself!" Mikayla said, trying to sound casual despite the
obvious excitement burning in her eyes. Isabelle made a small sound of acknowledgment and asked, " Mikayla,
what are you going to do down there?" Mikayla coughed lightly and replied, "Well, | should at least go ---- say
hello to him." Isabelle blinked at her. "But noisy crowds like this? Don't you usually hate them?
Why so eager today?" A flicker of frustration crossed Mikayla's face, though she forced herself to stay calm. "Ha,
| still don't like noisy crowds. But I have no choice, since I'm the only one representing the Owens family tonight.
At the very least, | should greet Mr. Beckett so people don't think our nlacks class." Isabelle teased, "Come
on, Mikayla. You're not just there to say hello. You want to get closer to Mr. Beckett, right? But look at the crowd,
there are at least 25 ladies already circling him. Do you really think you have a shot?" Mikayla snorted coldly.
"I'm nothing like those shallow,
attention- seeking women! Like | said,
I'm just going to say hello so he
doesn't think the Owens family is
rude. Once I've reeled Dintpropelly,
TE
I'm leaving not going to grovel for
his attention!" "Okay then, I'll wait for
you here!" Isabelle replied, though her
face showed an amused expression.
Mikayla was clearly dying for Ezekiel
to notice her, yet she was pretending
she did not want to go downstairs.
Women like that were just so fake
and pretentious, and Isabelle
definitely did not want to be like that.

deep down, I'm no different from
