Chapter 1675
After they entered the banquet hall, they saw two young people standing at the entrance, one with glasses and the other with no makeup. Both of them were dressed in black and they were standing at the door to welcome the guests who came to the banquet.
When Raeleigh saw the man at the door, she immediately recognized the man without glasses. She had seen him in front of Logan's grave. He was the man who had cried his heart out. Raeleigh remembered that his name was Harvey.
Harvey also remembered Raeleigh. When he saw Raeleigh, he walked a few steps and stood in front of Raeleigh, then stretched out his hand to her. "Raeleigh."
Raeleigh was caught off guard for a moment before she looked at Harvey who wore a smile on his face. After a while, Raeleigh extended her hand to him. He was smiling brightly. "We haven't seen each other for many years. How are you doing?"
Raeleigh smiled. "I'm fine, what about you? How have you been doing?"
Harvey smiled and said, "Better than ever. I have been helping Jacky with the election. Once everything's settled here, I'm going back to the village to continue with my responsibilities as the leader there."
Raeleigh looked at Harvey unsurprised. "The village is catching up to Capital City, you know. As the leader of Waverly Village, you're already half a mayor."
"That's right."
Harvey had a sense of propriety when he spoke. This is why Jacky liked to bring Harvey wherever he went. Harvey was also the person who was valued the most by Jacky after Logan. That was why he was where he was currently.
"I'm going in now. Where am I sitting?"
After Raeleigh asked, Harvey took out a corset and gave it to Raeleigh. "Raeleigh, this is for you. You are a special guest tonight, so Jacky asked me to give this to you."
Raeleigh was a little surprised to see the white rose corset, but since it was given to her by Jacky, Raeleigh took it and put it on her wrist.
Before Raeleigh could enter the hall, Harvey looked at Rossie and said, "Rossie, welcome!"
This wasn't Rossie's first time meeting Harvey. He always spoke to her nicely, but he probably thought that she and Logan had really had something going on. She'd tried to make things clear to him before, but he never seemed to really get it.
Even when Jacky had pretended to do something for the sake of Deanna, it was still just a matter of expediency. Nothing had really happened.
However, Harvey took it seriously and regarded her as Logan's wife.
"Watch it. Is this how Jacky trained you?" Zorion's expression darkened. He walked up from behind and wrapped an arm around Rossie's waist with a fierce glint in his eyes. Rossie raised her head to look at Zorion. "What are you doing?"
Zorion was very angry at first, but when he heard Rossie's voice, his expression immediately softened. "Nothing."
His ferocity was immediately concealed.
Harvey saw Rosie's control over him, so he was unscrupulous.
Harvey didn't care about Zorion. For people like Zorion, the most he could do was kill him, but Harvey didn't believe that Zorion could kill him.
Harvey disliked Zorion because of his refusal to allow Jacky and Deanna to be together, whereas Zorion had never liked Harvey. However, Zorion didn't dare act up because of Rossie's presence.
Logan was dead. If he were to do something inappropriate to Harvey, the consequences weren't too good.
"Rossie, Jacky and Deanna prepared this for you. Here, put it on."
Harvey passed Rossie a different corset made of bird of paradise flowers. Rossie wasn't bothered by it, but Zorion looked upset.
He knew that these were Logan's favourite flowers. He'd seen them planted in front of his grave.
Jacky was starting to get on his nerves again.
Zorion looked stormy as he followed Rossie and Raeleigh into the hall and searched for their table.
The table was right in front of them. They could see their seats as long as they went over. Raeleigh and Rossie walked to the table. Jepherson and Zorion went ahead and pulled out their chairs for them, then sat down after the ladies had been seated.
At this time, Raeleigh noticed that a lot of people were invited. She also recognized several names on the table, they were either rich or noble.
There were other people at the same table with them, but Raeleigh didn't know them.
There were three tables in total, each of which could accommodate 20 people.
The guests had already started to arrive one by one.
When people saw Jepherson sitting next to Raeleigh, they came over to greet him, but he didn't say much. He rarely attended public functions, to begin with, and this year onwards, he'd stopped attending them at all. Many people thought that he was affected by the outstanding young men list.
Some people were even surprised to see Jepherson here. They had not expected Jepherson to make his appearance at Jacky's celebratory dinner. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
In particular, the fact that Zorion had brought Rossie here was quite a surprise too.
Almost everyone knew that the Whalen family did not support Jacky in becoming the mayor. Not only did they not support him, but they had also tried to sabotage the election. During the selection process, the Whalen family's attitude had always been firm. They would never support Jacky becoming the mayor of Capital City.
Someone saw Zorion and began whispering.
"Isn't that Zorion Whalen?"
There were people gossiping about him behind his back, but Zorion sat there quietly and listened to Rossie and Raeleigh chat.
"Jacky said that he wanted to be mayor for both Waverly Village's and Capital City's benefit. But who knows? Jacky and Zorion's younger sister have two children. They are already a few years old, but the Whalen family has still been raising them. Could it be that Jacky is here for the sake of the children?"
"Why would the Whalen family oppose Jacky's arrival to Capital City? They should be happy that Jacky's trying to be in politics. If the Whalen family takes over both the government and the underworld, wouldn't they be controlling the whole city?"
"Who knows? It's hard to say. It's said that the Whalen family doesn't support it, but Jacky is still the mayor. Maybe he doesn't need the Whalen family's support at all?"
"Moreover, Zorion's here now."
"The Whalen family isn't stupid. Maybe they were just testing everyone?"
Everyone felt that this sounded logical and word started spreading.
Zorion could hear what was being said. It pissed him off.
He'd come because Jacky was the father of his nephews. It wouldn't be right to burn bridges so thoroughly.
Moreover, Deanna and Jacky were visiting and staying at his house now. His nephews had always asked what a mayor did so Deanna had invited him and Rossie over for dinner. If he didn't attend, he would feel sorry for both his nephews.
