As they entered the hall, a staff member led them upstairs to the banquet room.


    Kieran casually took L''s coat and draped it over his arm. The guests who had arrived earlier quickly noticed their entrance.


    Many greeted Kieran, and as their eyes shifted to the girl at his side, they immediately recognized L.


    L nced around at the attendees, marveling at how much the Clemence family seemed to value their daughter.


    For a weing banquet, the scale was impressive. In addition to Kieran, many prominent figures from Northridge had arrived.


    Amelia, with her high heels clicking against the floor, walked briskly toward them. "L."


    Her tone was upbeat as she added, "Come, let me introduce you to today''s star."


    The star? That must be Ruby, right?


    Did Amelia have a good rtionship with her?


    If so, why did she say, "If you''reing, then I''lle too"?


    As Amelia started to pull her along, L nced back at Kieran.


    He gave a slight nod, signaling that she could do as she wished.


    Before they could move forward, a girl in a stunning white long dress walked toward them, her beauty striking.


    She looked at Kieran first, nodded slightly, and smiled brightly. "Uncle Kieran, long time no see."


    Kieran lifted his gaze, his voice warmer than usual. "Long time no see."


    The girl then turned her attention to L. "You must be Uncle Kieran''s fiance, right? Amelia was just saying how beautiful you are.


    "I thought she was exaggerating, but now that I''ve met you, I see she was actually holding back."


    Her mannerisms and movements were simr to Amelia''s but carried a distinct elegance.


    Ruby extended her hand to L. "Hello, I''m Ruby. I look forward to getting to know you."


    L shook her hand gently. "Hello, I''m L."


    Ruby


    wonder she has captured Kieran


    Striking and graceful. No


    hard


    Such a woman would be


    for anyone to resist.


    She tilted her head slightly, looking around. "Is Noah not here yet?"


    "The Morgan residence is a bit far from here, so he''ll probably arrive in a while."


    L was surprised and turned to look at Kieran. That was something he had actually said.


    Since when did he begin reacting so proactively?


    Ruby smiled and nodded. "Thest time I saw him wasst year. He happened to be in the city for apetition."


    After a brief pause, she asked. "Uncle Kieran, are you still managing Morgan Group by yourself?"


    When he nodded, she smiled again. "That must be tough. I heard that


    one organ Group''s subsidiaries


    is


    Searching a new intelligent


    driving assistance system.


    "How''s the progress? I was wondering if we could explore a potential coboration."


    As she finished, L nced at Kieran. He had lifted his gaze slightly, clearly showing interest in the conversation.


    The technical discussion went over both L and Amelia''s heads, as they weren''t familiar with the field.


    Amelia nudged L''s arm. "Shall we sit over there for a bit?"


    Kieran looked over, his voice gentle. "The banquet hasn''t started yet. You should rest for a bit."


    L nodded and followed Amelia to another area.


    Amelia ced a small cake in front of her. "Have a few bites to fill up." L took


    as she


    her gaze, she


    Sota small bite with a fork, and


    seemed like the perfect pair.


    and Ruby talking et


    A talented man and a beautiful woman-they really did seem well-matched.


    L thought to herself before asking aloud, "Amelia, don''t you think they''re a perfect match?"


    At the same time, Kieran must have said something, and Ruby covered her lips, letting out a lightugh.
