"May I have this dance?" Lance saw Effie's dark golden eyes fixed intently on his younger sister and felt he had to curry favor with her, even by clinging to her older sister's leg. He asked earnestly.

The tall woman turned her head and stared at him with cold eyes.

The handsome blond adjutant chuckled and walked away silently, his eyes gleaming as he stared at a tall, slender, dark-haired beauty not far away.

He had been watching this beautiful woman with a half-smile for a long time!

"May I have this dance?" he asked solicitously. After receiving the beauty's consent, he led her off the dance floor with a satisfied smile.

Effie glanced disdainfully at the adjutant, who seemed obsessed with finding a marriage partner, and even more so at Karl's taste, yet she felt the beauty looked vaguely familiar. However, she paid little attention to this, continuing to focus her attention on her sister.

.

That little sister is so tiny, her soft little body is so light, how come she never gets tired of dancing? Effie watched Kars dancing with her sister with a face full of jealousy, while the girl seemed to be about to shout with joy. Just as she was feeling extremely jealous, she saw in the distance that Jasmine was also dancing with a handsome military officer.

The petite, black-haired girl's face also radiated a dazzling glow.

That man is... General Andy.

Effie's eyes narrowed slightly as she looked thoughtfully at Jasmine in the distance.

She certainly wasn't naive enough to believe that all high-ranking military officials could experience true love.

Take Andy, for example. That bastard's heart is full of conspiracies and schemes. Over the years, he has swallowed up several weakened prestigious families, and his power has expanded to an extreme extent.

So, you haven't given up on wanting to eat up the Field family yet?

Effie gave a cold laugh, her gaze growing even colder.

However, no matter how outstanding and clever Jasmine was, Aifei could only look at her little sister. She was thinking about her own thoughts, but her gaze turned back to Shen Wangshu. When the song ended, the little girl with rosy cheeks finally stopped, let go of the black-haired man, and jumped back into her arms.

As she nestled comfortably in her sister's arms, Effie's gaze fell on Karls, noticing his eyes sweeping over the adjutants behind her. A strange feeling stirred within her, and she instinctively glanced back at her own adjutants.

There is no difference.

"Xuanluo must come home with us," Shen Wangshu pleaded tearfully, holding Aifei's hand.

Effie paused for a moment.

She did not like Kars, but she had to admit that the man's character was quite trustworthy.

The strangeness that was revealed in that instant made her feel a little suspicious.

“Listen to Alice.” She patted her sister’s head indulgently, watching her look up at her with a big smile.

At this celebration banquet, the elders weren't the main focus; the truly important people were the students, who were still quite inexperienced in the ways of the world. Shen Wangshu lingered for a while, then was invited to dance by several blushing classmates. After thinking for a moment, she joined everyone in a group dance.

A group of students, survivors of the ordeal, huddled together, dancing. They sang the Federal Academy's passionate and uplifting school song, their eyes radiating the same youthful energy and genuine innocence, a sight to behold. A reporter waiting nearby quickly captured this harmonious scene on camera, preserving it forever.

However, there seemed to be a subtle exclusion, and Jasmine was isolated to the side.

These students could understand Jasmine's desire to join the federal government rather than go back to the battlefield, but they could not forgive her.

She is betraying them through her actions.

Having shared life and death, they should have shared the same sentiments and sworn an oath to shed their last drop of blood for this federation.

After Jasmine made that decision, regardless of whether she was accepted by others or not, she was no longer their companion.

Jasmine saw Shen Wangshu, who proudly held his golden head high among all his companions, his blue eyes as bright as stars, and then saw her own dejected self, and couldn't help but feel saddened.

But there were reporters taking pictures nearby, and she couldn't miss this opportunity for glory.

Surrounded by these days of attention, she had grown accustomed to being compared to Alice and Lori. In their eyes, Jasmine was also a girl with the most beautiful heart, and she too was deeply blessed. This feeling of being held in high esteem was wonderful, and Jasmine knew exactly what had brought her all of this.

It is the glory of the Field family.

Every time they mentioned her, they said that she truly deserved to be the adopted daughter of the Field family.

Therefore, she quickened her pace and walked to the blonde girl's side.

The girl tilted her head and looked at herself.

“Alice, we’re best friends, aren’t we?” Jasmine asked softly.

“My sister is the best sister to me,” Shen Wangshu corrected earnestly.

"So..." Alice tried hard not to show any sign of surprise, and said with difficulty, "Are we best friends?"

The girl suddenly stopped smiling. She looked at her quietly with eyes that seemed to see right through people. At that moment, Jasmine even felt hurt by that gaze.

Do you think we are?

"Of course! In my heart, you are my best friend!" Jasmine's voice suddenly rose as she saw reporters taking pictures quickly nearby.

Shen Wangshu chuckled softly and nodded, "Mm." She neither denied nor admitted it, but was forcibly pulled away by Luo Li and rejoined her companions on the other side.

Jasmine was glared at fiercely by Lori and didn't dare to follow Shen Wangshu. She stood helplessly to the side, watching the reporters chase after her companions, her last glimmer of hope vanishing once more. Feeling dejected, she sensed a tall, upright figure standing beside her. Turning her head, she saw General Andy smiling at her.
