?Chapter 647:


    The dinner, thanks to Kaiden, was significantly more luxurious.


    The room filled with enthusiastic apuse.


    Around the corner, Carole overheard some staff members whispering to each other.


    “It feels like Mr. Thorpe arranged a small wedding feast on our show!”


    “Absolutely! The dance he did with Ellie earlier was like something out of a fairy tale!”


    “Mr. Thorpe looks so good next to Ellie. It’s such a shame only we get to see this, haha!”


    Carole finished her wine in one go, but the drink did little to soothe her growing annoyance.


    “Miss Lambert!” a staff member called out, trying to spread some cheer, “Don’t you think Miss Gordon and Mr. Thorpe make a great couple?”


    “A great couple? That’s absurd,” Carole answered sharply. “Ellie is merely someone who found her way into the Thorpe family by taking over another’s engagement.”


    The enthusiastic group fell silent, their gazes fixed on Carole, the atmosphere turning awkward.


    Carole, realizing she had said too much, still chose not to backtrack.


    She offered a polite smile and excused herself.


    “What did Miss Lambert mean by that?”


    “Who knows? You shouldn’t have asked her. She and Ellie aren’t on good terms, so she’s hardly going to praise Ellie’s marriage.”


    Meanwhile, the not-so-popr variety show Workce Diary once again gained widespread attention!


    At first, the conversation focused on the ind’s stunning features and facilities.


    “The wine cer showcased after Mr. Vargas’s part was incredible! A dreame true for wine lovers!”


    “The views of the coast in Kristopher’s segment were breathtaking!”


    Unforgettable stories on g?lnσν????s??o??


    “Kristopher looks remarkably dashing, even in a wheelchair! Why does he get so little screen time? It’s unfair!”


    “Baylee’s antique appraisal was absolutely charming, just like when she’s protecting Ellie!”


    “Carole’s collection of corals and shells is simply beautiful!”


    “You know what? I dream of a vacation!”


    But everything took a dramatic turn when Ellie made her appearance at the clock square, propelling the “Ellie’s Mysterious NPC” topic to the top of the trending searches.


    “Is this NPC really not a celebrity? Those eyes could captivate me for a whole month!”


    “Oh my! This scene is the peak of romantic gestures. Isn’t this a wedding scene? The setting sun, the beach, a passionate kiss—everything’s perfectly timed! Plus, they even have five pairs of bridesmaids and groomsmen!”


    “I know Ellie’s married, but allow me just a moment to fantasize about these two!”


    “Everyone, go back and watch that scene again! Notice the ring on the handsome NPC’s left ring finger? It’s there, and it’s an exact match for Ellie’s wedding ring!”
