The other young women began to snigger in secret once they saw Eileen being ignored.

Naturally, everyone began to look at Tristan with a mixture of reverence and fright.

It went without saying that this also scared off the other young women who had designs on getting closer to Tristan earlier.

In the end, it was Zoey who helped Eileen out of the awkward situation.

She smiled and shook Eileen's hand in

greeting.

Seeing how approachable Zoey was, the others swiftly crowded over in an attempt to greet her.

Zoey was cordial with all of them regardless of gender. She shook hands with them all as if she had always been well-acquainted with them.

Even Julian could not resist heading over to Zoey and shaking her hand.

When Zoey heard that he was Gregory's nephew, her eyes lit up at once.

"Oh, so you're Dr. Huntington's nephew! You must also be an incredibly talented doctor too, right?" Zoey asked with great interest.

Julian did not expect Zoey to show so much interest in him.

He immediately laughed and said, "I can't speak of myself as being incredibly talented, but Uncle Greg has taken me under his wing for the past few years. I would say I've learned about 70% of his skills. Most of those rare and difficult diseases are nothing but child's play to me!"

Zoey instantly put on a frail demeanor. "Is that so? In that case, Julian, could you take a look at me?

I've been feeling rather uncomfortable lately..."

Her voice was honeyed and seductive in a way that made Julian's heart skip wildly.

Julian never thought that he would have the pleasure of getting to know such a beautiful woman.

Meanwhile, Odette was staring wide-eyed at them.

That was her boyfriend! How could he be flirting with another woman right in front of her?

She cleared her throat angrily to send

Julian a warning.

Unfortunately for her, Julian paid her no mind. He was staring at Zoey in concern as he said, "Of course! Where do you feel the most discomfort, Miss Cosby?"

Zoey massaged her forehead and exclaimed, "Oh, I don't know where the discomfort is either. I just know that I don't feel well. Julian, could you run a check-up for me?"

She bit down gently on her lip as she spoke, giving off a pitiful expression that would soften anyone's heart.

Julian was trembling with anticipation. "O-Of course," he answered at once. "But, I... I'll bring you over to run a check-up right now..."

He grabbed Zoey's hand and walked off proudly.

The other young men were filled with envy at this sight.

None of them would have betted on Julian being the one who won Zoey's favor.

It went without saying that most people's eyes fell on Odette.

They all knew that Odette and Julian had gotten together.

Now that Julian left with Zoey, it meant that Odette had just been abandoned by him.

The crowd stared at Odette with eyes full of mockery and mirth.

Meanwhile, Odette was infuriated. Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that things would end up like this for her when she betrayed Edmund and tarnished her reputation to be with Julian. Most importantly, Julian had left with another woman right in front of her. She was utterly humiliated!

However, in spite of all this, she dared not say anything.

The Sinclairs were nowhere near as powerful as the Huntingtons, and she, too, could not compare with Zoey. She could only suffer in silence!

That being said, her heart was filled with regret now.

If she knew that things would turn out like this, she would never have gotten together with Julian no matter what. This was far too disgraceful!

The atmosphere in the room turned gloomy once Zoey left.

Tristan remained seated on the couch, but no one had the guts to approach him.

With him here, these playful young men and women could not bring themselves to engage in their own lively conversations either. All at once, the atmosphere in the room became tense and awkward. Thankfully, Tristan did not remain in the room for long. A few moments later, he got up and headed downstairs.
