NovelEnglish"Mr. Salter, you've arrived."
"Right this way—"
Tallulah linked her arm with Noel's, lifting the hem of her dress slightly, following behind the host.
Many knew of Noel, but there were whispers about Tallulah's identity.
"Is Noel dating someone now?"
"Haven't heard. Isn't she his assistant? Been with him for years..."
The classic tale of the attractive female assistant and her young, successful boss was not lost on the attendees. Knowing glances
were exchanged, and the way they looked at Tallulah shifted subtly.
Meanwhile.
Isaac and Elijah made their entrance to the evening's event.
Elijah had been off the radar for a while, but now, with hispany on the rise, he was back in the spotlight.

The moment Elijah appeared, many approached him with greetings: "Mr. Ulbricht, wee back."
"Mr. Ulbricht, | knew you'd make aeback."
"Mr. Ulbricht, you muste to my birthday bash!"
Back when the Ulbricht family faced ruin, everyone was quick to distance themselves from Elijah. Now, they couldn't wait to cozy
up to him again.
Elijah, having seen his fair share of the world, paid no mind to their shallow facades.
His attention, however, was captured by Dominic.
Dominic and Ivy were still technically married, their rare public appearance together painted a picture of harmony. However, the
way Dominic held Ivy's hand was anything but loving.
"Dominic, Elijah's here," Ivy hinted.
Dominic let go, "Hang around for a bit, I'll take you hlater."
"No need, someone's pickingup tonight," Ivy replied with a smile.
She had found someone she truly liked and was more than willing to nudge Dominic towards Estelle.
Dominic walked away with purpose.
Ivy, sipping on a glass of champagne, enjoyed the unfolding but couldn't help but notice Isaac.
He was a stranger with a familiar aura, as though she'd seen him countless times before.
Dressed in a sharp black suit, his imposing figure stood out.
His features were stern, with a hint of arrogance, and his deep-set eyes added to hismanding presence, even next to Elijah.
Ivy gave him another look before taking a call and swiftly exiting the banquet hall.
Dominic joined Elijah, "Bright Town."
"Where's Estelle?"
Elijah had hoped his sister would attend but found Ivy apanying Dominic instead.
"She's at home," Elijah paused, "Hasn't been feeling well, | didn't want to risk it."
Estelle's health was one concern.

More importantly, Dominic and Ivy were still officially married, making it impossible for Estelle to publicly attend such a significant
event with Dominic.
Elijah was aware of Estelle's pregnancy. Though he disapproved, Dominic was Estelle's choice, and he couldn't control her.
"Dominic, you know how Estelle feels about you. | was powerless before, and she suffered for it. If you ever mistreat her, | won't let
you off easily!"
Dominic smiled softly, "Estelle is the love of my life. I'll do everything to make her happy."
Elijah huffed, somewhat appeased.
Noticing Isaac, Dominic frowned, "And who might this be?"
"Caspian, a valuable asset I've managed to recruit," Elijah introduced.
After a brief handshake and exchange, Isaac and Dominic fell silent.
Dominic and Elijah weren't exactly close friends.
But because of Estelle, their relationship was warmer than usual.
"For Estelle's sake, letoffer you sadvice. You've been making big moves lately. Be careful."
