Chapter 17

• "Is Damian not coming to the banquet tonight?" the man asked, his eyes cold, but his hands skillfully slicing the Wagyu beef to the degree of doneness he wanted. He was chewing with gusto, as if he was really enjoying tonight's banquet.
• "He's definitely coming," the woman sitting in front of him said. She was enjoying the dinner spread out in front of her, just like the man. To be more precise, she was trying to enjoy the meal because she often caught sight of Hudson, her assistant, out of the corner of her eye. Just to make sure Damian keeps his word.
• The elegant dark-haired woman, who was calmly enjoying her meal, was sitting at her side. She wasn't bothered by anything, including the chatter that seemed to put pressure on each other. After all, the woman was at the banquet as part of the family, not the main attraction who was waiting for her in the room.
