NovelEnglishChapter 76 On the other side of the venue, the mood was jubilant.
Mrs. Harvey sat in a wooden chair, her eyes fixed on her daughter, who was slowly making her way off the stage, looking every bit the ethereal vision. Pride and happiness were etched across her face.
She was well aware of the custom gown her daughter wore. It was crafted by one of the fashion world's top brands, Splendid. When the dress was delivered, Lysander had mentioned that the roses on the gown were hand- embroidered by Jade, the founder of Splendid herself.
Jade rarely personally crafted gowns anymore, so wearing one of her creations was a privilege reserved for royalty, Splendid's top-tier VIPS, and the most elite members of high society. This was a symbol of status and prestige, not to mention that such a custom wedding gown would cost a staggering $3.2 million.

The Harvey family didn't wield such influence on their own. When Giselle made her appearance, both Charles and Mrs. Harvey had carefully watched Lysander's expression. His captivated look was genuine, a testament to his investment in their daughter.
Lysander's willingness to spend lavishly and meticulously plan for Giselle was a clear sign of his earnest intention. If they could only remove Mila from the picture...
The union between the Harvey family and the Montgomery family was within reach! Charles felt a surge of satisfaction and cleared his throat before addressing Lysander, who had just returned to the private suite. "Lysander, for everything you've done for our daughter, I extend my heartfelt thanks." Lysander smiled warmly. "It's my pleasure, Mr. Harvey. No need to thank me." "Absolutely," Ryan chimed in, still exhilarated from seeing Giselle's performance. "With Lysander's genuine affection for Giselle, this is nothing. Besides, Giselle is so talented; she deserves it!" In Ryan's eyes, Giselle was the best. She was studying business under industry experts, on her way to earning a doctorate. Musically, she excelled, mastering various instruments and winning numerous awards, including gold medals, in international competitions. In the music world, she was already a rising star. Today's event was designed to mark her return hand solidify her position in the domestic music scene.
Hearing Ryan's words and noticing Lysander's unwavering smile, Charles and Mrs. Harvey felt a deep sense of satisfaction, though they maintained a facade of politeness.
Charles sighed, "My daughter can be a bit carefree and unruly, having spent so many years abroad. She's not too familiar with the local scene anymore. We'll rely on you, Lysander, to look after her." Ryan and the others offered polite but lukewarm responses. The Harveys were well aware of Ryan's feelings for their daughter, but the Lockwood family, compared to the Montgomerys, paled in significance. Moreover, the Lockwoods were not in a stable situation, and the future was uncertain.
Once the Harvey family and the Montgomery family were joined in matrimony, they planned to encourage Lysander to distance himself from the Lockwoods altogether.
Ryan, oblivious to the Harveys' subtle coldness towards him, was eagerly awaiting Giselle's return to the suite.
Lysander maintained his genial demeanor, responding softly, "Of course." A knock at the door interrupted the conversation.

Upon hearing i·ysinder fanced towards the suite where Mila and her companions were, his brow furrowing in thought.
After a moment of contemplation, he turned to Charles with a smile, "Mr.

Harvey I'll leave Ryan to keep you company for a while. There's a matter I need to attend to."
Without waiting for Charles's inquiry, Lysander stood up and exited the suite
