That familiar face was Marselle, who had made a scene in front of Giselle a few days ago.
Of all people, Giselle had to run into Marselle again.
After greeting several important guests, Donovan finally noticed Marselle. His expression instantly darkened.
"Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Kane!"
Marselle acted completely unbothered, smiling as if nothing awkward had ever happened. "My dad has another dinner event to attend tonight, so he sent me to attend on his behalf."
As it turned out, the dinner event was for the private hospital project jointly invested in by Kane Group and Sterling Group. Present were Donovan, several major shareholders of Kane Group, two key representatives from Sterling Group, and an important leader from the Health Bureau.
While Marselle's presence was unexpected, it did make sense. After all, back when the Kane and Sterling families were still planning that "engagement", she had been announced as the project's general manager.
Not wanting to make things awkward, Donovan pretended not to know her and pulled Giselle closer as they took their seats.
As a woman, Giselle instantly understood what Marselle was thinking.
She thought the humiliation last time would have been enough to make Marselle back off. But apparently, Marselle's shamelessness ran even deeper than she thought, showing up again the moment she found an opening.
Giselle responded calmly, "Hi, Ms. Sterling. What a coincidence."
At that moment, Donovan took the initiative and said to the table, "Everyone, this is my wife, Giselle Holt. I hope you'll make her feel welcome."
