Lin Xiao glanced at the girl briefly. Her innocent appearance didn't seem like that of a girl who would harm others.

It's more like he has a split personality. In his past life, he also liked reading novels, and the protagonists in those novels mentioned that some of the male and female leads might have split personalities.

So this Alice is...

Alice was used to Jinno Tsuki's cold demeanor and didn't blame him.

Instead, she obediently took a cocktail from the waiter and gave it to Kanna Tsuki.

"Here you go, Brother Yue. Since you don't want to talk, I think you must be tired. Why don't you come up ahead and walk around with me?"

Girls' thoughts are very simple; they just want to show off how happy they are in front of others. It's not for anything else; everyone has vanity, right?

Jinno Tsuki nodded. He didn't dislike the girl to that extent yet, so he wouldn't hate her for the time being because of this.

"Then I'll trouble Alice. Jiu Mei, why don't you wander around and familiarize yourself with the surroundings?"

He stared at Jiu Mei and said, what he really meant was to pay attention to the surrounding environment, see if there was anything suspicious, and report it to him in time.

He didn't really trust that cunning old fox, Adeline, even if he was Alice's father, so what?

Jiu Mei listened to Shen Ye Yue's words. He simply nodded to indicate that he understood and then blended into the crowd, because he knew that he should listen to his young master, right?

Alice has quite a few friends, as Kanno Tsuki could tell, which made him frown at the group of women who clung to Alice as soon as they saw her.

"It smells too strong, I don't really like it," he said in a slightly sarcastic tone.

"Your friends are so enthusiastic, I can hardly handle it..."

Upon hearing this, Alice's face turned pale, and she almost couldn't hold her breath. She didn't understand what Yue meant.

But did she think she wanted those women to come? She'd wanted to get rid of them long ago.

If my father hadn't said that the guests who came today might all be the children of his friends.

She doesn't want to be so reserved!

She shook Shinno Tsuki's arm and spoke to him in what she considered the sweetest voice possible.

"Yue, don't be angry. I didn't want to either. It was Father who said that those people are his friends' children and asked me to take good care of them."

Seeing that Kanna Tsuki wasn't angry, the women naturally continued to approach her, while also feeling jealous of why they were on equal footing with her.

Can't she be like Alice? They're the same kind of people, so why is she being treated like a pureblood princess?

The title of "pureblood princess" is not given lightly. The person who can have this title will marry a king in the future. Therefore, without a doubt, Kanna Tsuki and Alice are the ones we look forward to the most.

"Smack."

Halfway through their conversation, a spotlight was turned on and shone on them. Coupled with their striking good looks, Kanno Tsuki was breathtakingly handsome.

Everyone held their breath, as if waiting for their king to speak, even though the real protagonist of this banquet was Alice.

Alice held her sweetheart's hand, smiling sweetly. She didn't care. Since he was the boy she liked, what did it matter if the focus was on her or not?

This person is destined to be hers, so what else could she care about?

The middle-aged man stood on the stage, took the microphone from the butler, smiled, and spoke to the guests below the stage.

"Welcome everyone to my home for the party. Today also marks the day my daughter returns home."

I was studying abroad for a while, and it was only after much difficulty that I finally got back.

"My daughter, you've kept us waiting for so long."

After saying that, he even smiled gently at his daughter. Lin Xiao found this kind of man disgusting.

No wonder there's a saying that a daughter will resemble her father; this father and daughter are a perfect example.

Adeline looked around and seemed to notice that Shinno Tsuki's father wasn't there. How could he continue the discussion without him?

Shouldn't an adult be involved in this?

So he gave the lighting technician a look and told him to shine the light on the boy.

All eyes were now on him. With so many eyes watching, Shinno Tsuki had to give him an explanation.

He comforted his daughter, knowing that she meant she didn't want to make things difficult for Shinno Tsuki.

But that's just how that kid is. If we don't find someone to teach him a lesson, he'll really become lawless. He is, after all, a prince.

He smiled and said, "I wonder why your father didn't come, Prince Shinno Tsuki? I should have sent him an invitation."

The implication, of course, is that Shinno Tsuki lacks proper upbringing and can't even do something as simple as this.

Everyone took a deep breath, surprised by Prince Adeline's reaction today, which seemed to indicate a triumphant victory.

After hearing this, Shinno Tsuki chuckled softly, swirled his wine glass, and said...

"My father had something to do today, and it was just a simple gathering."

My father said it didn't matter whether I came or not, as long as I came, it would be enough for me to represent the Kamino family.

Once those words were spoken, no one dared to refute them. Who would dare? They'd be risking their lives, wouldn't they?

Seeing that Adeline didn't react, Lin Xiao assumed that his words had no effect, and he raised his eyebrows slightly with impatience.

"What's wrong? Isn't today a party? Let's get started quickly, don't let Alice get too tired."

Adeline was embarrassed. He knew what Shinno Tsuki meant, and if he said anything more, the meaning would be very clear.

In order to gain control of the Kanno family, it's best not to waste time talking to a kid for now.

After Adeline went downstairs, he gave his daughter a look, telling her to take on more responsibility and that he would handle the rest.

Because he put a hallucinogenic drug in a glass of wine, specifically targeting people who were of sound mind, and that was the person he was targeting.

He gave the glass of wine to his daughter Alice, and then disappeared from the area, his whereabouts unknown.

"Brother Yue, this is a drink I made myself. I don't know if it suits your taste, but you'll do me this favor today, right?"

The girl looked like she was about to cry after she finished speaking, and when she looked at the handsome and aloof boy next to her, she just wanted him to say what she wanted to hear.

"Well, how could I not drink a drink made by Alice?"

Lin Xiao was hypocritically thinking about how to spit out the wine.

On the surface, they actually killed him, making it look real, so the girl couldn't tell.

Alice stared at Kanno Tsuki's cup with shining eyes, and finally drank it down.
