Chapter 679
When Sandy heard about the astronomical list, she was so shocked she couldn’t speak, and it became clear to everyone that the Tredgold, Dennis, and Aldridge families all backed Sophie.
No one would dare to provoke such a figure, even if she were a commoner girl.
Therefore, those who were initially heading to the Burke family’s venue quickly changed their direction.
After all, several of the top figures in Devonport were attending the wedding at the Costello family’s venue.
Meanwhile, inside the Four Seasons Hotel, Bea noticed the dwindling number of guests at the door and frowned, asking, “Where did all those people go just now?”
“I saw them all making excuses to leave a moment ago. I wonder if something’s happening at the Costello family’s place next door”
Hearing this, Bea took a deep breath to control her anger and said, “Go check!”
The Burke family was considered a prominent family in Devonport, yet aside from some business partners, not a single entrepreneur had stepped foot inside!
Bea stepped outside the hotel, only to see guests continuously heading towards the Costello family’s
engagement party.
Bea’s face grew even darker. She turned to the security guards at the door and demanded, “What on earth is going on? Is this because of your lack of hospitality?”
“It’s not our fault, Miss. Mr. Gordon, Ms. Jenna, and Mr. Adler all went to the Regent Hotel! So… so…
The security guard dared not continue.
With every prominent figure in Devonport showing up at the Costello family’s event, who would attend the Burke family’s engagement party?
Marian tried to reassure Bea, saying, “Bea, don’t worry. There are still many of your friends around. The elite and high society ladies of the city are all here”
The entrepreneurs weren’t foolish. To please both parties, some sent their wives to the wedding next door as a gesture of goodwill..
Then, a luxury car pulled up.
Many people stopped to watch as a handsome figure wearing sunglasses stepped out of the vehicle. When the person took off the sunglasses, everyone gasped in surprise.
Wasn’t that Reece, the hottest movie star of the moment?
Reece was extremely popular among the high society ladies due to his charming looks. Many couldn’t help but walk over to the Costello family’s engagement party to catch a glimpse of him.
Appearing alongside Reece was Julian, another celebrity known for being constantly in the headlines. With these two heartthrobs standing there, which woman could resist?
Instantly, most of the high society ladies at the Burke International event were lured away.

Bea couldn’t hold back her fury any longer. “This Costello family is going too far!”
They had drawn away all the guests, making the Burke family a laughingstock in the eyes of the media.
Meanwhile, a visibly upset hostess came downstairs and whispered something in Bea’s ear
Bea’s expression turned even uglier. “What did you say? What’s wrong with the dress?”
The hostess, looking troubled, said, “You might want to go see for yourself”
Bea, no longer caring about the rest, immediately went back to the banquet
There, she saw Nichole smiling as she descended the stairs, but the sight of Nichole’s dress nearly made Bea faint.
