Chapter 170: WelcBanquet
(God's POV)
Several days later, Samuel Whitmore announced to the public that he would first host a welcbanquet for his
daughter in the Northern Territory. The welcbanquet would be held tomorrow evening, and it was said that
there were no restrictions on who could attend the banquet.
The news spread quickly through the werewolf community. Pack members whispered excitedly about the
mysterious daughter who had finally returned to the Whitmore family.
After receiving the news, Isabella Blackwood selected more than a dozen evening gowns at home, but couldn't
find one that satisfied her. Each dress was scrutinized and discarded with growing frustration.
Diana Blackwood entered the room and saw the bed full of evening gowns. She sighed helplessly.
“For the welcbanquet of the Whitmore family’s daughter, you don’t need to dress too beautifully, lest you
steal the limelight and make Miss Whitmore unhappy.”
Isabella Blackwood replied dismissively, “So what? That country bumpkin daughter doesn’t care anyway.”
Based on her interactions with Sandy Parker over the past few days, she had concluded that Sandy Parker
was not only truly stupid but also brainless. The girl seemed to lack any understanding of pack politics or
social dynamics.
Diana Blackwood sighed and advised her daughter to give the Whitmore family sface. “Once you mate
into the family, you can do whatever you want to Miss Whitmore.”
Isabella Blackwood suddenly felt her mother made sense and casually picked a decent dress. The logic was
sound - patience now would pay dividends later.
Diana Blackwood helped her match jewelry, praising that her daughter Bella was the most beautiful among
the Northern Territory's socialites. “You'll surely dazzle everyone tomorrow night.”

Meanwhile, Adrian Whitmore brought Elena Blackwood to the villa’s dressing room. Servants had prepared
dozens of evening gowns for her to choose from.
Elena Blackwood looked at him with wide eyes. “Brother, isn’t this too much?”
He moved closer to her, raising an eyebrow. “How can clothes prepared for my sister be considered too
much?”
Elena Blackwood smiled helplessly and carefully examined several evening gowns. The selection was
overwhelming in its luxury and variety.
Finally, her gaze fell on a pink-green new Chinese-style evening dress. The dress’s design made her eyes
light up.
The fresh pink meeting vintage green was like a spring celebration. The shallow V-neck strapless design
perfectly showcased beautiful collarbone lines, sexy yet dignified.
Delicate embroidery meandered along the neckline and hem. Every stitch told the story of traditional
craftsmanship’s charm.

She couldn't help but touch it. “This dress is really beautiful.”
Noticing the servant's troubled expression, Adrian Whitmore asked what was wrong. The woman shifted
uncomfortably under his gaze.
The servant replied, “Young Master Whitmore, this dress is a haute couture from two years ago that’s out of
season. It might not be appropriate for the young lady to wear.”
Adrian Whitmore frowned and was about to say something when Elena Blackwood looked at him. Her voice was
firm but gentle.
“It’s just a dress. Such exquisite design and embroidery craftsmanship shouldn't be buried because it’s out of
season.”
She continued with conviction, “Besides, I'm not in the fashion industry, so why should I care if it's out of
season?”
Adrian Whitmore laughed and patted her head. “My sister is right.”
He then told the servant that as long as his sister liked the clothes, it didn’t matter if they were out of season.
Fashion trends meant nothing compared to Elena’s happiness.
At this moment, Sandy Parker was hiding outside the door. She stared intently at the scene inside with burning
jealousy.
Those beautiful evening gowns were originally hers. Tomorrow night's welcbanquet protagonist should
have been her too.
She hadn’t even enjoyed it yet before it was taken away! The unfairness of it all made her chest tight with
resentment.
Jacob Hayes suddenly appeared behind her. “What are you doing there?”
Sandy Parker froze on the spot, startled by his unexpected presence.
(Elena Blackwood’s POV)
Adrian and | looked toward the person standing outside the door. Sandy Parker's face flushed with
embarrassment at being caught.X
She quickly explained that since Sister Elena was trying on evening gowns, she cup to see if she could
help pick one or two. Her voice trembled slightly with nervousness.
| asked if there were any dresses among them that she liked. The question seemed to catch her off guard.
Sandy Parker was stunned. “Me?”
I smiled gently. “If there are any you like, cpick one or two. You'll be attending tomorrow night too, won't
you?”
Sandy Parker looked at those beautiful evening gowns and found it hard not to be tempted. But she was afraid of
Adrian and didn’t dare show her desire too openly.
| took Adrian’s hand and asked, “Brother, what do you think?”
Adrian looked at the person in front of him and smiled, “Good, as you wish.”
Sandy Parker suppressed her inner excitement. “Thank you, Sister Elena, thank you... Young Master

Whitmore!”
Her gratitude seemed genuine, though | suspected deeper motives lurked beneath her grateful facade.
After Adrian and | left the room, Jacob Hayes followed beside us. His expression was puzzled and concerned.
“Miss, this Sandy Parker plotted to harm you, why are you still so generous to her?” His voice carried genuine
confusion.
He continued, “And the master didn’t let her attend tomorrow, but you're letting her attend. How will you explain
it then?”
Adrian's gaze fixed on my face. But he knew | wouldn't do this without reason.
| looked back, then stopped and faced them both. My voice was calm but determined.
“By letting her attend, the people behind her will have a chance to make their move. | think she won't miss this
opportunity.”
