Adeline couldn‘t help but think about tonight's banquet. At that moment, she could finally understand why her father and grandfather would try so hard to invite Matthew to the dinner.
If the Thatcher Family had failed in their attempt, then her father might be sitting here and waiting like the other heads of the families. For now, the Thatcher Family was guaranteed a position among the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire. In other words, there would only be two vacancies left in the Ten Greatest Families to fight for. The competition among the families who presented tonight would be intense.
Adeline couldn‘t guarantee the Thatcher Family could stand out among the families if they were one of the competitors. She sighed as the more she understood Matthew's capability, the more she regretted it.
Other than her, there were several young people in the hall too. None of them was a pushover if they could make it today. Each of them was known as a wealthy, good-for-nothing kid in Eastshire. Even though Adeline was born into the Thatcher Family, there was a vast difference between her and the others.
One of them was an extremely handsome young man who caught everyone's attention. He was Lucien Stone, a successor to the Stone Family, one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire.
