Chapter 1490


    His excitement was palpable as he said, “Ms. Arabe, you finally made it! Mr. Albright was waiting by


    the door, craning his neck to anticipate your arrival. Eventually, he got overwhelmed by all the guests


    cozying up to him and ducked out to his room. You just missed him by a whisker.”


    “Let him have his moment of peace. We’ll call him out once all the other seniors have arrived,” Arabe


    replied, understanding that such events could be exhausting for the elderly. She figured it would do him


    some good to have a breather.


    The butler noticed the rectangr box in Arabe’s hands, about the size of two smartphones, and said


    with a smile, “Is that a birthday present for Mr. Albright? He’ll be thrilled to see it!”


    Arabe was about to hand over the gift to the butler when he added, “Better you give it to him


    personally. Nothing would make him happier than receiving it straight from your hands, Ms. Arabe.”


    Arabe nodded, “Alright, I’ll do that in a bit.”


    She walked in with the gift.


    Serena eyed her, biting her lip in frustration. Damn it, she thought, Arabe was dressed so simply, and


    yet she managed to draw the attention of many the moment she entered the room.


    “She’s so pretty!” Lindsay couldn’t help but exim, “Why is she here alone? How could Mr. Albright


    invite such a youngdy? What’s her story?”

    Despite Serena’s meticulous effort to make herself look best, fragrant and polished from head to toe,


    she couldn’t outshine Arabe’s radiant beauty.


    Her face was cool and noble, and those clear, piercing eyes were impossible to look away from.


    “She’s Romeo’stest girlfriend,” Serena suddenly revealed.


    “What?” Lindsay gasped, covering her mouth in disbelief, ncing between Arabe and Serena,


    stuttering in shock, “You mean?”


    Serena nodded, confirming the unspoken.


    Lindsay was utterly astounded, unable to believe that such an aloof-looking girl would be involved with


    someone else’s fiancé.


    Pure wickedness!


    Otherdies started gossiping as they noticed Arabe.


    “Who’s that girl? Why is she here alone?”


    “And her outfit is so casual.”


    Everyone at the birthday party was dressed to the nines, hoping to catch the eye of the influential


    attendees, having spent considerable time on their attire.


    Some unted limited-edition jewelry, others had their eyebrows meticulously crafted.


    But Arabe wore a simple, casual ensemble, effortlessly chic with her beauty and fair skin.


    “Maybe she’s a servant’s daughter sneaking a peek at the high life?”


    “But could a servant’s daughter have such poise?”


    “Some of these maids get involved with the wealthy. It wouldn’t be surprising for them to have a


    daughter with some finesse. I think she looks like one of those girls out to snag a rich kid.”


    “Mr. Albright’s guests are all from the older generation. This girl isn’t apanying any elder; she’s


    here on her own. Maybe I should go ask her!”


    Roxanne approached first, her smile tinged with condescension, “Hi there, may I ask who you’re


    apanying?”


    Arabe didn’t recognize the woman before her, but considering this was Grandpa Eugene’s birthday


    bash, she wasn’t sure how this woman was connected to him. She replied in a cool tone, “I came by


    myself.”


    Roxanne was visibly taken aback, “You didn’te with a referral?”
