?Chapter 816:


    She didn’t object to Le refusing these guests. She just believed Le’s remarks were too harsh.


    This approach would likely offend these guests. After Le had rejected over a dozen suitors, the guests stopped approaching.


    It had be clear to everyone that Le had no intention of finding a partner for Eileen.


    Gianna’s and Conroy’s expressions darkened.


    “Don’t worry. This is Eileen’s first exposure to high society, and she might be a bit overwhelmed. She’s never seen anything like this before. After all, she may yet be swept off her feet by someone’s charms. Once someone actively pursues her, she’ll soon sumb to their advances,” Gianna said to Conroy, trying tofort him. But he looked unconvinced.


    Conroy said, “She seems tooposed, not like a novice in high-society events. Could it be…?”


    “It can’t be,” Gianna dismissed his concerns with a wave of her hand. “She must have been prepped by Le. Tracey said they’ve been holed up in that room since morning on their own.”


    Gianna and Conroy were well aware that Le desired Eileen to bepetent.


    Le wished to transform Eileen into a dignified, high-society woman, worthy of their wealthy family’s status. However, recalling Eileen’s previous absurd notions about rescuing the VQ Group, Conroy promptly pushed aside his doubts.


    “So, have you found a suitable match for Eileen?”

    “I have,” Gianna replied.


    “To avoid any embarrassing situations, I didn’t let him approach Le and Eileen today. Once we’re back in Alverton… I’m curious to see how long Eileen can resist him.”


    Gianna crossed her arms, gazing at Eileen with a confident smile.


    “I bet she’ll sumb within a week.”


    Conroy countered, “I think she has a bit of pride, like your sister, and isn’t just any ordinary woman with no principles. It’ll take at least two weeks.”


    Conroy’sment was genuine, reflecting his thoughtful assessment of Eileen’s character.


    No sooner had he spoken than a chill ran down his spine, and he felt a frosty re upon him. He looked down to see Gianna’s eyes zing with anger.


    “Who exactly are you referring to?” she asked.


    Conroy hastily shook his head, attempting to cate her.


    “I didn’t mean it like that, I just think… No, listen to me…” Conroy tried to exin, but Gianna wasn’t having any of it.


    Her anger already simmering, Gianna turned on her heel and stormed off.


    Surrounded by the crowd, Conroy couldn’t openly follow Gianna without drawing attention, so he eventually chose not to follow her.


    Eileen observed the scene with interest, her lips pressed together in thought.


    Were they quarreling? If so, that meant there were conflicts between them.
