Chapter 27
“Isn’t she Sergio’s girlfriend?” a young man nearby suddenly asked,
As he had some acquaintance with Sergio, this young man had seen Kylie a few times. He knew Kylie was attractive, but that night, she was exceptionally stunning and almost unrecognizable.
“Could she be here with Sergio? I’ll call Sergio over.” The young man was still considerate.
After all, the desire for beauty was universal, and he felt a slight pity for Kylie.
“I don’t know what Sergio is thinking. He actually chose such a woman.” Another woman nearby started mocking again.
“Didn’t their engagement fall through in a big fire last time? Sergio was blessed for not being ruined by such a woman…
Kylie listened indifferently, showing no reaction.
When she was used to it, she really became indifferent.
She lowered her head, preparing to take out the invitation from her handbag.
The young man called Sergio over.
“Mr. Moore,” the staff respectfully addressed, “we received a report that Miss Stafford hasn’t received an invitation to the banquet hall. Is she your guest?”
Sergio looked at Kylie, recalling her earlier disregard for him. His expression turned determined.
“Kylie, why are you here?” Sergio appeared genuinely surprised. “Didn’t you say you weren’t feeling well and would not come?”
Obviously, Sergio denied bringing Kylie along.
Kylie smirked.
Perla was initially nervous, unable to accept that Sergio would still help Kylie in public.
Now Sergio’s words made Perla’s mood instantly better.
This clearly confirmed that Kylie sneaked into the banquet hall.
After spreading the word, Kylie would be utterly ashamed of this.
“She really sneaked in. It’s laughable.” The woman nearby became even more audacious.
“Kylie is truly a joke in high society…”

“What high society is she? She was expelled from the Stafford family long ago. If it weren’t for her relationship with Sergio, who would bother with her…
“Kick her out quickly. She’s simply embarrassing”
The staff, hearing Sergio’s words, addressed Kylie straightforwardly, “Sorry, Miss Stafford, without an invitation, you cannot attend the banquet. Please follow us…”
Before the words were finished….
Kylie took out the golden invitation letter and placed it in front of the staff.
Everyone present was stunned.
They could not believe that Kylie actually had an invitation.
All of them had come with their parents or husbands.
No one had received an individual invitation.
Verify its authenticity,” Kylie coldly told the staff.
The staff respectfully took it, opened the invitation, and glanced at it.
Others also crowded to take a look.
They saw the neat “Kylie Stafford” written on the invitation.
Kylie was indeed individually invited by the Hayden Group.
What qualifications did she have?
“Sorry, Miss Stafford, it was our mistake. The staff quickly apologized, bowing at a 90–degree angle. “We hope it hasn’t affected your mood tonight. We’re truly sorry.”
Kylie ignored the staff.
She glanced at Sergio, looking at his shocked expression.
The eyes that were now looking at Kylie inevitably had a bit of embarrassment.
Just now, he could have easily cleared things up for Kylie with a single sentence, burhe chose to stand by and let her embarrass herself in public. More importantly, she did not fail.
Kylie turned and left the crowd.
Passing by Perla and Salma, she paused.
Perla and Salma were naturally infuriated at the moment. They expected to see Kylie in a miserable state. but ended up witnessing Kylie flaunt herself in public again.

After all, none of them could produce an invitation from the Hayden Group.
“Tsk!”
Kylie left with a disdainful smile, leaving them behind.
Salma, seeing Kylie’s arrogant demeanor, almost could not help but scream.
“Enough.” Sergio’s face tumed cold, placing all the blame on Salma. “Engaging in such sneaky activities, aren’t you embarrassed? Perla, don’t learn bad things from Salma.”
Leaving behind these words, Sergio angrily left.
Salma’s eyes turned red with anger.
Sergio really scolded her like that. Moreover, reporting Kylie was clearly Perla’s suggestion.
She fiercely questioned Perla, “Why didn’t you explain?”
“I… I…” Perla was full of grievances. “I had not even reacted, and your brother left.”
Salma, suppressing her anger, left angrily.
This little incident with Kylie had no impact on the banquet..
The high–ranking officials continued their socializing, awaiting the appearance of the Hayden family.
Suddenly a group of people walked in at the entrance.
Everyone’s gaze turned toward them.
The comers dressed in black suits, exuded a commanding aura.
The entire hall quieted down instantly.

Hardly anyone here had genuinely seen Ethan. Although there were suspicions, no one dared to confirm if it was indeed Ethan.
Sergio, on the other hand, took the initiative to greet him.
“Mr. Hayden.” In front of everyone, Sergio extended his hand, greeting Derick.
Derick’s eyes flickered, and he thought this person might be out of his mind.
He glanced at Ethan.
Sergio also followed Derick’s line of sight.
Sergio’s expression changed immediately when he saw the man.

Sergio thought. A firefighter has actually mixed into Ethan’s side. Did he become Ethan’s bodyguard?”
Ethan gave Derick a look.
Derick understood.
He extended his hand, shaking hands with Sergio.
Without saying much, the group left in front of everyone and headed straight to the VIP lounge behind the banquet hall.
After their departure…
The banquet hall returned to normal.
Sergio received countless envious glances. Some young men, who were relatively familiar with him, quickly complimented, “Sergio, don’t forget to introduce Mr. Hayden to us later.”
Looking at the whole banquet, you might be the only one who recognizes Ethan.”
“Once you establish a
establish a good relationship with Ethan, don’t forget us, dude.”
Sergio showed modesty but could not hide his delight.
The Hayden Group, Beliey’s top financial consortium with astonishing assets and a strong background, was a sought–after connection for everyone in Beliey.
That night, he was the first to greet Ethan, becoming a source of honor.
Once the news spread after the banquet, his value would soar even higher.
Such joy made him forget the frustration from Kylie just moments ago.
At the moment, he could not help but glance at Kylie not far away and walked toward her,
Kylie frowned.
“I did not expect a firefighter to actually get close to Ethan, Sergio sneered.
Kylie looked at Sergio.
She genuinely looked at him as if he were an idiot.
He still did not know who Ethan was.
Ethan’s powerful aura when he entered
just now was something even a dog could sense, although that analogy might not be humane.
