Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 1495

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.

The Stone Family was consistently ranked in the top three among the Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire. As for Lucien, not only was he handsome, he was also capable. Thus, he was considered the most outstanding individual among the rich kids of Eastshire.

Many young women from the wealthy families of Eastshire had a crush on him, including Adeline. Alas, he had too many admirers, and she was relatively mediocre among them.

For her, it was usually hard to see him in person, let alone pursue him. Still, Adeline's heart fluttered as she was happy to see him on this occasion.

Therefore, she seized the opportunity to take a look at her surroundings. The girls who were always following behind him were nowhere to be seen. At that, she began to think of a plan to make his acquaintance.

Regardless, just as Adeline was

thinking hard about a way to greet him, Lucien turned to where she was standing all of a sudden, and she could see a bright smile blossoming on his handsome face. Even though she knew he was handsome, he was even more attractive when he smiled.

The unexpected smile caught her off guard as she could only stand there with a blank mind.

At that moment, Lucien headed straight in her direction. Her heart was pounding as if she could hear it thumping against her chest while her body shivered uncontrollably in excitement. Why is he walking toward here? Why is he smiling at me? Does he have feelings for me?

Adeline was so excited to see him that she had simply forgotten her plans. Instead, all she could see and think about was Lucien.

Soon enough, he was right before her. As she was excited to see him, she stared at him affectionately and with a sultry look in her eyes.

Nevertheless, he only walked past her without giving her another look, as if she wasn't there.

She was surprised. What happened? Isn't he here to talk to me?

As thoughts ran through her mind, she turned around and saw him stopping before Lynn.

He had a gentle smile as he warmly addressed the woman, "Miss Lynn, you're here."

"Mr. Larson ordered us to take you to the private room once you're here.

So, I'll take you to him."

Lynn blushed fiercely like the other women when she saw him standing close to her. It was hard to resist the charm of an excellent man like him.

Lucien smiled as he held Lynn's wrist and led her to the private room.

At last, Maeve and Adeline were the ones left in the hall.

The turn of events had left Adeline dumbfounded as she never expected Lucien to ignore her and walk away with someone else.

If she was being honest, Lucien had even ignored the pursuit from the daughter of the White Family once, but from what she saw, he was holding an average girl's hand now. What just happened? Adeline couldn't stop replaying the scene in her mind.
