Katy looked at her uncle, waiting to hear what he would say. Even if this aunty that was marrying her Uncle Henry was actually bad, she would not hurt her because Uncle Henry would protect her.

While waiting for her uncle's instructions, she also stole a glance at Lin Lihua, who looked as harmless as ever. Her little brows tightly knitted.

Was it because she was too young that she thought this aunty did not look unkind at all?

Henry Blanc turned to the young girl. "Your grandma is spewing nonsense. Your aunt is the kindest person on earth. She would never hurt you. Go and stay with her for a while."

Katy covered the distance between her and Lin Lihua and stood in front of her silently, a little nervous and a little expectant.

Henry Blanc sighed in relief when Lin Lihua took the girl's tiny hand.

Although he did not intend to make Katy doubt her grandmother, it was better than lying to her.

Mrs. Blanc became even more incensed, watching the peaceful moment between Lin Lihua and Katy Blanc. What had this woman done to charm her granddaughter? "You've got to ve kidding me. Because of a woman, you are turning against your own family? You unfilial child!"

Lin Lihua was intending to remain silent because of her identity in the entertainment industry that was delicate, but this was too much. "Heh. Aunty, if we start fighting even before I marry Henry, how will we get along in future? Will you be very happy if the family is broken?

Just because you value your daughter so selfishly that you would forgive her for a crime as grave as murder, you expect everyone to be as forgiving? Let's not even mention her ridiculous reason for doing what she is did. Aunty, you are being too selfish." Where did she even get the courage to speak when people like the Shen couple, whose daughter Shen Yue (Little Jia's classmate) was hurt, had not spoken a word?

Lin Lihua's gaze was stern. She hated people who did not have a conscience. Even more, she hated double faced people. If this woman was not an elder and Henry Blanc's mother, she would not be this polite while speaking to her. This was considered her limit of politeness in this situation.

Everyone was angry with Mrs. Blanc. How could anyone say such things? Did she have no shame as an elder?

Lu Aotian had had enough of this family drama. What did they take Lu Enterprises for? Their battle field? Why couldn't they take their little drama outside Lu Enterprises? He walked towards them with a wineglass in his hand, his steps gloomy and tormenting as though a storm was approaching. "The Lu family has been friends with the Blanc family for very many years…"

Everyone froze, making Lu Aotian even more intimidating as he descended the staircase and walked to Mrs. Blanc.

"It's unbelievable that people from the Blanc family dare to insult my family this much. Not only have you hurt my daughter, you are now bothering my wife and sister-in-law. How then are we supposed to..."

Henry Blanc knew that it was not going to end well. He quickly spoke to interrupt him. "Could you give me face and let me handle my family?"

Lu Aotian didn't glance at him again. "You owe Lu Enterprises a banquet." He was only giving him face because they were on closer terms than most friends. If not, it was not guaranteed that he would not have exposed Amy's crime and humiliated the Blanc family in public.

Who would have expected Lu Aotian to care about his sister-in-law?

It was nothing to be shocked of, however. Anything that was important to Wan Jia was important to him too. He gave Henry Blanc a stern glare; he was giving the Blanc family a final chance.

Henry Blanc apologized on behalf of his mother and sister, promised another banquet and dragged his mother out.

He was relieved. If Lu Aotian ended the collaboration between Lu Enterprises and Le Blanc Group, it would be a lose-lose situation. They would become enemies in business as well as personally. The projects they had collaborated on were so many that ending it would drag both companies down. Who wanted such an ending?

Everyone was initially angry because such an elegant family would embarrass themselves and cause chaos, but Henry Blanc had handled it so well that it could easily be mistaken as a drama that was meant to be part of the banquet.

Rich families could be quite chaotic sometimes. Everyone was used to it.

"Any more trouble from you and I'll make sure Amy is given a double or even triple sentence." Henry Blanc said as soon as they were alone. He was utterly disappointed. Forget about causing a ruckus to try and save a criminal who seriously needed to be punished. Why was she implicating innocent people? Had she gone mad?

…

After that strange interlude, the banquet continued as though nothing had happened.

However, this was not meant to be a happy banquet from the start. There was a pair of evil people lurking.

A beautiful woman with a head of blonde hair sauntered in, obviously late. In her silver gown and delicate make up, she attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Shaoting saw her from the top floor and smirked, then exchanged a look with his brother who was a distance away.

Yun Xuan went ahead to greet the hosts as though she was proud of being late. Of course, it was part of the plan.

In the slight commotion that Yun Xuan caused with her arrival, an evil pair of father and son slipped into the hall too.
