"How long are you nning to stay in Sovereign City?"
Adide thought for a moment. "Hard to say. Maybe until my niece graduates, or maybe until she gets married. You know how it is with girls; they always need a bit more protection from family."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Then why did Adide say she''s staying in Sovereign City until you graduate? What''s that about?" Zara was baffled.

Chloe shook her head again. "I just met my aunt today. I know as much as you do, so don''t ask me. Just enjoy the wine."

Zara clinked her ss with Chloe''s.
They had to admit, the wine was strong. After just a couple of sses, they were already feeling a bit tipsy.
For the rest of the evening, Adide introduced Chloe to her friends, and Chloe could clearly feel how much Adide valued her. Adide treated Chloe not just as a niece but as if she were her own daughter.
The party went on for a long time.
Even past eleven at night, people were still drinking. Grant kept sending messages, asking when Chloe would be home.
Chloe thought for a moment and called him, telling him she was with her aunt and not to worry.
The party finally ended around two in the morning. Zara called for a driver to take Chloe back to the Martin Mansion.
Unexpectedly, Adide pulled Chloe into her car.

Chloe was worried. "Auntie, when I came to Sovereign City, Grandpa said I should stay
with the Martin Family. Won''t they be worried if I don''t go back?"
Despite having had some wine, Adide was very clear-headed.
She exined, "When you first came to Sovereign City, your grandpa was worried about your safety, so he had you stay with the Martin Family."

"Now that I''m here, and we have a vi in Sovereign City, it''s not appropriate for you to stay with the Martin Family anymore."
"Your grandpa said that now you''re grown up, and as a young woman, it''s not suitable to stay in someone else''s home. I think he''s being very considerate."
Chloe was puzzled. It was Nichs who had sent her to Sovereign City and arranged for her to stay with the Martin Family to ensure her safety. Now, it was Nichs saying it wasn''t appropriate for her to stay there.
What was Nichs thinking?
Despite her confusion, Chloe obediently got into Adide''s car. Worried about Zara getting home safely, Adide thoughtfully had her assistant apany Zara.
The Davis Family vi was in the eastern part of the city, a bit of a distance from the Martin Mansion.
Adide, who had drunk quite a bit, seemed to sober up once in the car. She held Chloe''s hand tightly, as if afraid she might run away.
"Chloe, it''s only been a few years, and you''ve grown so much. I still remember you as that little girl in elementary school. Time really flies. You''ve grown up, and I''ve gotten old."
Chloe quickly reassured her, "Auntie, you''re not old at all... You''re still very young."
Chloe''s words were not mere ttery; they were a testament to Adide''s timeless elegance. Nudging past the milestone of forty, Adide retained an ageless grace, her visage unmarked by the passage of time.
Her poise was impable, every gesture and smile a symphony of sophistication. As she cradled her ss of crimson wine, weaving through the crowd with a radiant smile, Chloe could not help butbel her with the most fitting of titles: a true socialite!
That innate nobility and confidence made people see her as a goddess.
Such a woman was admired not just by men but by women too.
Because of the wine, Adide talked a lot about the past, and Chloe realized that Adide was just an ordinary woman.
Half an hourter, the car stopped at the Davis Family vi in Sovereign City. Adide led Chloe out of the car.
The vi was old but well-maintained, looking as if it had just been renovated.
As Adide was about to show Chloe to her room, Chloe''s phone rang. It was Grant. It was past two in the morning, and she hadn''t returned to the Martin Mansion, so he was naturally worried.
"Hey, Grantie... You''re still up?" Chloe was a bit guilty. "Me? I''m with my aunt. She said I should stay with her from now on..."
Chloe exined the situation to Grant, including Adide''s decision for her to move out of the Martin Mansion.
Adide paused, listening to Chloe''s conversation.
Grant? Was he the one Nichs had arranged for Chloe to marry?
Adide only had one niece, and the Davis Family''s third generation had only this one
girl. As her aunt, she wouldn''t let her niece marry just any man.
Anyone wanting to marry Chloe would have to pass Adide''s test.
