Chapter 350
“I am Shannon Quarry, wife of Chairman Gregory Salvador.” Shannon introduced herself
with. a hint of arrogance, keeping her head high.
“Justin, I don’t understand what she’s saying, but there’s no need to translate it for me.
because I’m not interested in knowing who she is,” Ada replied, not bothering to look at
Shannon, and continued chatting with Justin in French.
Shannon only understood about a third of the conversation due to her limited proficiency
in French. Just as she was about to introduce herself again in French, Justin smiled faintly
and said to Ada, “That’s just my intention. There’s no need to introduce irrelevant people
to you.”
This statement completely baffled Shannon. However, at this moment, laughter erupted
around them, and the surrounding conversations were crystal clear to her.
“Wow… Ada dared to confront the wife of Chairman Salvador so directly! She’s really
brave and bold! I thought she was just acting, but now I see that she’s genuinely being
herself!”
“Oh, this is hilarious! Ada Wang is from Meridan. She doesn’t care about the business

Corporation’s chairman?”
“Exactly! Shannon’s big talk won’t impress Ada!”
Hearing the mocking comments, Shannon’s face turned red and then pale. The wrinkles
around her eyes deepened. However, she was extremely concerned about her reputation
and unwilling to swallow her pride. She put on a forced smile and said, “Ms. Ada, as you
may know, our hotel and KS World Hotel have always been competitors. Your choice to
attend our banquet tonight is a recognition of the Salvador Hotel. As the lady boss of
Salvador Corporation, I feel extremely honored.’
Justin’s expression remained cool and distant. ‘The lady boss of Salvador Corporation? She
certainly knew how to flatter herself.’
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Ian quickly translated Shannon’s words for
Ada, hoping to stir up some trouble.
“No, I think there’s a misunderstanding.” Ada shook her head after listening. “KS World
Hotel and Salvador Hotel are both excellent establishments. I chose to attend this banquet
tonight not because the Salvador Hotel is superior to the KS World Hotel, but because
Justin has impressed me through his actions and charisma.”
As these words were spoken, Shannon’s cheeks burned as if she had been slapped in the
face. Ada Wang might have appeared haughty, but in reality, she was quite shrewd. If she
had agreed with Shannon, it would mean that she admitted the Salvador Hotel’s
superiority over the KS World Hotel. This would not only belittle KS World Hotel but also
offend KS Group, one of the global Fortune 500 companies.
This would leave Ada with no way out and force her to continue letting the Salvador Hotel
host her wedding. Ada was not, that foolish to easily fall into this woman’s trap.
In the slightly tense atmosphere, the doors of the banquet hall swung open. Zoe, dressed
in a million-dollar Swarovski crystal-studded pink evening gown, walked in gracefully,
resembling a floral fairy.
“Is she Christian’s apprentice?”
“She’s not just a pianist. She’s also the younger sister of Ryan Hoffman, heir of the
Hoffman Group!”
“Ryan’s younger sister?! Doesn’t that make her my future sister-in-law?!”
“Then who’s my future sister-in-law? Bethany? Ugh… I don’t really like that woman. She

On the other side, Bethany sneezed.
Upon Zoe’s arrival, Bethany’s eyes scanned the scene like radar, eagerly searching for
Ryan. However, her hopes were dashed. She felt that her relationship with Zoe was truly
shallow.
Zoe noticed that the attention of the crowd shifted from Ada Wang to her, and she couldn’t
help but feel a surge of pride. In fact, she had worked hard to persuade Justin to let her
play the piano, aiming to quickly gain fame in Savrow’s upper class and carve her own
identity in the Hoffman family.
She did not want people to associate the Hoffman family solely with her brother, Ryan.
She aimed to be an undeniable presence. With a sweet smile, she walked toward Justin,
lifting the hem of her dress.
However, Justin’s indifferent gaze left her feeling uneasy. Suddenly, a sharp and steady
click of high heels echoed from outside the door.
It sounded so familiar to Justin.
Justin’s heart tightened abruptly as his gaze fixed on the door without blinking. His
breathing instantly became chaotic.
