Chapter 199
Ray muttered dismissively, “Just do what you want.”
He ignored her further and began to scan the crowd for Aisha’s figure. He had never expected Aisha to attend the gala.
Ever since the Green family’s downfall, Aisha had locked herself away In her room, hardly ever going out. Seeing her finally taking that step forward made Ray Incredibly happy
Watching Aisha weaving through the crowd, it was as if the once proud Indy of the Green family had returned.
Connor rarely attended these functions, and many who wished to make his acquaintance never had the chance.
Now that he was here, everyone was trying to strike up a conversation with him, which inadvertently elevated Flord’s status as well. The crowd almost lifted Flom to the skies with their praises,
Flora was left speechless by their compliments. They dubbed her as gentle and generous, dignified and prudent–she began to question if they were even talking about her.
Connor, noticing her discomfort with the situation, took her to a secluded spot to sit down. He had Moss stand guard ahead of them, tuming away anyone looking to network, keeping the area exclusive to them,
He then sent Beck to fetch an assortment of pastries for Flora to enjoy.
After a while, Kelvin, supporting Josiah, who was dressed in a birthday suit, slowly descended the stairs, apologizing to the guests, “Sorry to keep everyone waiting.”
Josiah, however, was excitedly gripping Kelvin’s hand, asking. “Where’s the young lady who saved me? Where is she?”
Kelvin supported Josiah, careful not to let him get too excited and risk a fall. “Don’t worry, she hasn’t gone far.”
Kelvin looked around, didn’t see Selene, and quietly instructed a servant to bring her over.
Soon, the servant led Selene back to them.
Kelvin watched Selene fondly and introduced her to Josiah, “Dad, this young lady here saved you. Her name is Selene, and she’s the most talented of the younger generation of the Brimer family from Maple Grove. Despite her young age, her medical skills surpass many seasoned doctors.”
Josiah’s gaze fell on Selene, but he frowned slightly.
Although his consciousness was blurry at the time, he had some recollection of the girl who saved him. He remembered the girl wore blue and carried the particularly pleasant scent of gardenias.
But the young lady in front of him was dressed in red, which seemed…different from his memory.
The guests had already heard about Selene saving Josiah. With Kelvin’s high regard for Selene, they all started praising her collectively.
“She’s truly a force to be reckoned with. Such remarkable medical skills at such a young age. Her future achievements will be extraordinary.
“Miss Selene is so accomplished at such a young age, unlike my good–for–nothing, who does nothing but squander our wealth.” Not far away, Connor, Flora, Ray, and Aisha stood together
“I heard Grandpa Josiah had a sudden stroke and nearly lost his life. It was Selene who appeared in time to save him.” Ray squinted at Selene, the center of attention. “It’s been years, and Selene’s medical skills seem to have improved significantly.”
He disliked the Brimer family from Maple Grove and Selene even less, but he couldn’t deny that her medical skills were indeed impressive.
“I heard Selene is set on joining Club 257, and if she passes the review period this year, shell become an official member” Ray clicked his tongue, his tone unreadable, “The head of the Brimer family must be over the moon.”
“She won’t make it this year” Ray’s statement was barely finished when Flora added he
