Godparent recognition ceremonies in the south were different than the ones in the north.
The master of ceremonies gave a long speech.
After that, Link stood on the stage and saluted to everyone with me - It was done! Link gave me an
exquisite sandalwood box and said, “This was Renee's favorite pair of jade bracelets before she had
passed.
When she was still around, she often said that if we had a daughter in the future, we would give these
bracelets to her.”
Link's eyes became watery.
| took over the bracelets and hugged him, “Papa!”
Link was emotional for a while.
He held my hand and introduced me to everyone.
A poor girl now had become the goddaughter of a famous politician for no reason, and a grand banquet
was held for their celebration - Of course, people were going to gossip.
| was just grateful that Leo had been by my side.
“Does the media and reporters show?”
| held up my champagne glass, and the Lewis couple got into my sight.
They were chitchatting with someone not far away.
Luna seemed to prefer long dresses - She was wearing a dark green dress with prints, looking elegant
and noble.
| didn’t see Olivia, who was probably still in the hospital.
And for sure, Leo saw the Lewis couple too.
He leaned toward me and said, “They made it.”
| smiled, nodded, and walked over toward the Lewis couple with a glass of champagne.
| spoke with a smile, “Mr.
Lewis, and Ms. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Luna, thank you for coming!”
Samuel and Luna both looked at me at the same time, feeling a bit surprised.
But Luna said immediately, “Clara! You look gorgeous today!”
| smiled back at her, “Thanks, Ms.
Luna.
| didn’t see Ms.
Olivia, was she still in the hospital?”
Luna was shocked, but she forced an awkward smile and said, “She was discharged.
But she’s still feeling unwell, so Samuel and | sent her back to Newton Town for a better healing
environment.
The weather and temperature are better for her recovery there.”
| frowned.
Olivia had been dependent on Dennis and the other guys, but they were all in City P.
It wasn’t appropriate for them to send Olivia back to Newton Town for treatments and leave her there
by herself.
But it was none of my business, after all.
| dazed off to worry about her for a second, and then I smiled, “That was thoughtful of you both to do
so.”
The two looked at me and smiled in a completed look.
| was surprised by that.
If it was in the past, Luna would somewhat say mean things when I hurt Olivia.
But now she didn’t say anything at all.
“Opera is popular in City P. Mr. Lewis is a long-time resident of the city. Do you enjoy it?”
I looked at Samuel and asked with a smile.
Samuel looked at me, cleared his voice, and said, “Kid, you are family now. Call me Uncle Samuel!”
I was surprised, but I did call him again “Uncle Samuel.”
He looked at me, and the look in his eyes seemed meaningful, “Kid, I know that you might still be
holding grudges against Luna.
But mess up the banquet tonight - Your papa Link specially prepared it for you.”
I held the champagne glass in my hand tightly, and my face was kind of pale.
So...
They found out, didn’t they? I looked up at these two, shrugged, and said heartlessly, “Yes, Uncle
Samuel, you are right. It’s my banquet, so it’s all up to me to decide if it can be a successful one. If I
meet my goals, then it’s not messed up.”
Luna looked at me, and she said after sighing, “Sam, forget about it. It’s karma.”
Looking at their completely different attitudes from usual, I couldn’t tell what was going on for a while! I
had become the goddaughter of the Kennedy family now.
Was it the reason why they had scruples and treated me differently? Leo stood next to me and hadn’t
spoken a word.
But seeing that I was silent and frowned, he said easily, “What’s on your mind?” I shook my head and
subconsciously looked up at the people who had been arranged on the second floor. Seeing my
hesitation, Leo said, “Actually, it’s already the best outcome now. It won’t get any worse!”
Got worse? The baby and Diana did pass away, for real.
Even though Olivia was just injured, all of them were gone for real from my world now.
I wouldn’t be able to get them back even if I tried.
Thinking of this, I cooled down, looked at the people on the second floor, and nodded.
There was a huge projection screen on the stage in the hotel lobby.
Two minutes later, the clips on the screen attracted all the guests who had come to the banquet.
The Lewis family had been successful in City P for many years, plus Luna’s success these years.
Her popularity was almost the same as the Lewis family.
So her appearance in the video clips shocked the audience.
I was not looking at the screen as I was never interested in what was going on on the screen. I was
more interested in Luna’s reaction when she saw this. But the clips didn’t seem to break her as much
as I imagined.
She seemed to have got prepared in advance - She was just leaning tightly against Samuel's arms.
There were buzzing sounds in my head.
Among the noisy crowd of people, Samuel gave me a meaningful look.
It was not an angry or bloodthirsty look, but sorry.
I saw him leave the crowd with Luna in his arms, but I didn’t feel any joy inside my heart.
I knew that from today on, Luna would be discredited and ruined.
I was making my intention - Almost a success! The projector was turned off after Luna and Samuel had
left.
Everyone was gossiping or mocking Luna and her shameful acts.
The banquet was over, eventually.
Link and Leo got busy seeing the guests out.
I stood in the hall, a little dazed.
Marcus walked into my sight and said calmly, “Can we talk?”
I withdrew my distracted attention, and felt depressed inside my heart, “What do you want to talk
about?”
He sat on the lounge chair beside me, raised his eyebrows, and said, “You did that, didn’t you?”
“Um!”
I wasn’t trying to hide it from him.
No one would dare to mess with Kennedy’s banquet unless it was someone from the Kennedy’s.
Marcus sneered.
He looked at me sarcastically and said, “I thought after you hurt Olivia, at least you should feel relieved.
You have entered a prominent family now, and you have Dennis who is loyal to only you. You lost a
baby. But do you have to cross the line and go this far?”
I pouted my lips.
I was tired from standing too long, so I sat down casually on the chair beside me, “So you are saying,
now that I have everything, I should just pretend that nothing hurtful to me has happened?”
Marcus frowned, “Have you ever thought about why your little scheme could go seamlessly? The
Kennedy family acquiesced it, and the Lewis family let you set them up - Was it all because of Leo’s
help?”
I was confused, “What else would it be?”
Marcus sneered.
He found what I had said ridiculous, “Not all people are fools and let you treat them as they are idiots,
Clara.
Samuel Lewis is the man whose success was built on the sacrifices of people in the 1970s.
Do you think he would just let you abuse his wife without saying a word?”
“What are you saying?” I spoke.
I had calmed myself down already.
He snorted and said disdainfully, “What I am trying to say is that a brainless, cold-blooded, and idiotic
woman like you, should stop - Whatever you are doing, stop it.
Please take care of yourself and live your life in peace.”
