Chapter 518, the banquet begins
The candlelight on the table flickered, and the exquisite silver candlesticks added a touch of elegant antiquity. The crystal chandelier above the head reflected the dazzling light, and the entire banquet hall was shrouded in a gorgeous halo.
The air was filled with the rich aroma of rosemary and black truffle, and waiters carried trays and shuttled among the guests, serving them mellow wine.
The violin sounds particularly melodious amid the conversation. The skillful playing skills and elegant inflection are like weeping and complaining. The bow slides and jumps on the strings, accompanied by the piano sound like the tinkling of a spring, providing the highest level of audio-visual enjoyment for today's banquet.
When Anne entered the banquet hall, the lights went out and the conversation gradually became silent. Everyone stared at the beauty under the spotlight. Her every frown, smile and gesture seemed so exquisite.
The candlelight on the table is flickering, and the atmosphere on the scene is like a beautiful dream, which makes people fall into it and don't want to wake up.
People around her often marvel at Anne's beauty and envy her good luck, while others worry about the future of the industry.
Is it really possible to entrust such cutting-edge technology to such a young woman?
The person who walked in with Anne was Marco Wilson.
Both father and daughter are so pleasing to the eye.
"You're welcome." Marco said beside Anne in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Hmm?" Anne's smile remained unchanged as she uttered a single syllable to express her confusion.
"I knew this dress would suit you." Marco Wilson's deliberately lowered voice was full of pride. "Fortunately, I made the decision for you and changed that one."
Anne took a deep breath, and after a long while she squeezed out a word from between her teeth: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Marco Wilson's voice was much lighter. "It has always been my dream to bring you to the entire family like this. Even though I'm not a qualified father, I still love you."
Hearing Marco Wilson's words, Anne's eyes moved slightly, and a feeling of blood connection surged in her heart.
"Can you talk to Lucas about this? He won't allow me to be served at the Wilson family's bar anymore." Marco said, "If an adult can't have a drink at night, it's like a fish out of the sea. My soul..."
"I'll tell you later." Annie's newly-felt emotion was shattered by Marco's few words.
She really shouldn't have any expectations of this father. She was stupid.
"By the way, I've prepared a gift for you." Marco Wilson winked playfully at Annie. "Trust my aesthetic, just like you trust the dress I picked for you. It suits you very well."
Anne looked at Marco suspiciously, but because there were so many people around, she didn't dare to ask any further questions.
When Anne and Marco entered, the Wilson family head and Lucas were looking down from the corridor on the second floor.
"Are there any suspicious guests among today's guests so far?" The head of the Wilson family lowered his voice.
"We're still checking," Lucas replied softly. "Our people are checking the identities and fingerprints of everyone present."
As Lucas finished speaking, a waiter took a wine glass used by a guest and skillfully handed it to the person behind him.
This is to prevent someone from stealing identity information and sneaking into the party, or even disguising themselves.
After all, faces can be imitated, but fingerprints... unless you want to crack a password lock that requires fingerprint input, everyone will basically ignore this point.
"Hmm." Patriarch Wilson twirled the jeweled ring on his finger, his gaze fixed on his worthless son under the spotlight, a touch of tenderness in his eyes. "He may have looked like a decent human being, but now he probably doesn't even realize how big a mess he's gotten himself into!"
Lucas looked over when he heard the voice, but then looked away helplessly.
What can he say when he meets such an unreliable father...
On this side, taking advantage of the darkness, Kong Xiyan brought her two younger sisters into the banquet.
"Shh, let's go around the side." Kong Xiyan pointed to the side where no one was paying attention.
Zhong Yangyang and Kong Zhishan made an OK gesture.
They didn't want to attract attention at this time, as the limelight should have belonged to the Wilson family.
Kong Xiyan walked carefully while looking around, observing the current terrain, personnel distribution and the best viewing angle.
This banquet hall has a three-story theater-like design with an Italian humanistic aesthetic and uses lighting and music to perfection.
However, the music stage is divided into two levels diagonally, and the audio-visual effect is first-class.
The view from this stage is the best, and the conductor can see at any time whether the host needs to change the song or adjust the tune and volume of the live music.
Even though the overall lighting is dimmed at this moment, the two-story area where music is played has separate lighting controls to ensure sufficient lighting.
The second view should belong to the corridors on the second and third floors.
At this moment, four armed security guards were observing the entire banquet from the corridor on the third floor. Judging from their positions, they were supposed to be on a rotating shift system, with one shift every half an hour. The person taking over their shift should be...
Kong Xiyan was analyzing as she walked forward when she heard a subtle sound. She immediately turned around and saw that in the darkness, a waiter who was carrying a cup accidentally bumped into Zhong Yangyang.
Fortunately, the cup was empty and did not soak Zhong Yangyang, ruining her makeup, hair and dress.
Unfortunately, both Zhong Yangyang and the waiter were startled, and Zhong Yangyang's arm hit the high-backed chair next to them. Although she covered her mouth immediately, the chair legs rubbed against the ground, making a somewhat harsh and even sharp sound in such a quiet environment.
Hearing this voice, everyone shifted their gaze from Anne and Marco Wilson to Zhong Yangyang.
Zhong Yangyang felt those inquiring gazes falling on her, and her face immediately blushed because of her own rudeness.
At this moment, a violin sound with a different pitch was heard, drawing everyone's attention back to the stage. Coincidentally, Annie and Marco Wilson also walked here.
The lights on the scene slowly lit up, and no one missed Anne Wilson's perfect appearance after she stood still.
The jewels on her body sparkled and she had a smile on her face, undoubtedly announcing the official start of the party.
Soon everyone forgot about the previous incident.
Kong Xiyan turned her gaze towards the performance area and immediately saw the violinist.
Kong Xiyan couldn't see his face clearly, but she felt that his movements were elegant. Unlike the others who were sitting upright, he seemed to be enjoying the musical performance very much.
At the same time, a middle-aged man at the other end of the banquet curled his lips, took out his mobile phone and sent a series of text messages.
[Buzz——]
Damian, who had also sneaked into the scene, took out his cell phone and glanced at the words on the screen seriously, his expression instantly becoming serious.
