Chapter 126
"It's just a casual lunch together. Why have you made it into such a big deal?" | asked Mason.
There had to be a few hundred people, and that only included the people on this floor.
Was this a lunch? It seemed more like a formal event.
Mason froze and asked, "Lunch? But Mrs. White's intention was forto introduce you to the people of
Welsington, so that they won't disrespect you out of ignorance."
"Don't listen to her. Why would | want that? | chose to go to school in Welsington to keep my affairs private and
make sgenuine friends. Haven't you rendered my earlier efforts redundant by doing so?"
At my rage, Mason said hurriedly, "Mr. White, don't worry. | haven't announced your nto them. | was initially
planning a grand entrance for you. Since you're not interested, | won't do so. Instead, I'll introduce you as
someone else. Is that alright?"

| frowned. "Can't you just call it off?"
"This... | don't want to keep this from you, Mr. White, but I've invited all the heirs of powerful families who are
around your age. They range from legacy nobles to new business owners. They've all come. If we ask them to
return just like that, it won't bode well for our reputation."
His face clearly showed how awkward he felt. When our eyes met, | could see the hesitancy behind his eyes.
This was our first meeting. It would be inappropriate forto give him too much of a hard time. Moreover, his
words held struth to them. He'd gone to such lengths to invite so many people. It would be unacceptable if
Mason sent them hbefore they even had a bite.
"Fine. Go out and entertain them, but don't tell them about my identity and act like you don't know me. Just
pretend like I'm one of the people you've invited."
Mason broke into a smile and nodded hurriedly, "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. White. Don't worry. |
know what to do now."
After meeting Mason, | brought Felicia to the first floor.
After two days at Imperia Manor, Felicia had savored countless delicacies and strolled through numerous parks
with Sophia in tow. Consequently, she appeared more relaxed and gracious.
When we arrived on the first floor and she saw the hundreds of guests, she was not terrified in the slightest. She
merely exclaimed, "They're all here for you."
| smiled. "They aren't here for me. They're here for because I'm the heir to the White family. If our family runs
into any difficulties in the future, or my identity comes into question, they'll be gone before you know it."
Felicia chuckled. She turned toand said, "I won't run away. Regardless if you're the heir to the White family
or not, I'll always stay by your side."
“Alright.”
If this had been spoken by anyone else, | wouldn't have believed them. People would do anything for wealth. The
richer someone was, the more heartless they would be. However, Felicia had already proved her loyalty a long

"Hey, who do you think Mr. Connaught is introducing today? He invited so many people. I'm burning with
curiosity."
"I heard it was the heir to Quantum Springs. However, they've kept him hidden well. No one knows who the
leader is in the first place."
"Wow, an heir! | wonder if he's handsome."
"He's the leader's son. Even if he were the ugliest man in the world, there would still be hordes of women kissing
up to him. You're too shallow."
"What do you know? He's a man of high social standing, but if he's handsas well, it would be the icing on
top of the cake. All the rich young ladies of upper society would thirst after him!"
While passing a gaggle of gorgeous ladies, | overheard their conversation. With mirth in my eyes, | turned to
Felicia and asked, "Am | handsome?"
Felicia nodded her head furiously and said, "Yes! You're smoking hot! If you weren't, our seniors wouldn't have
gone mad over you in the way they did."
