Chapter 87
The glistening lights of the crystal chandeliers in the hall cast a radiant light on Nathan, highlighting his
chiseled features. His commanding aura caught the attention of everyone in the room. Every present
socialite flushed as they watched him.
That was the charm of Nathan. He kept things simple while also looking luxurious.
Caroline, who stood in a distant corner, watched as their gazes were drawn to him. She could not help
but look at Nathan, who stood out among the crowd.
Every subtle movement Nathan made was enough to leave everyone around him stunned, even when
he was just looking
up.
At that precise moment, Caroline felt his eyes on her. His gaze fell upon her accidentally, but it seemed
intentional.
His gaze was intense, although it only lingered for a brief second.
When their eyes met, he quickly looked away.
“Oh, my goodness. Nathan is so handsome. He is truly someone of noble status,” someone gushed.
“Nathan is looking at us. He’s looking at me!”
“No, Nathan is looking at me!” another argued.
Ladies, stop fighting over him. The word on the street is that he has no interest in getting involved with
women. Plus, he’s beyond your league! No one could stand a chance for an unattainable person like
Nathan,” someone said, knocking some sense into the women swooning over Nathan.
The socialites argued over a mere glance from him.
As Caroline observed Nathan from a distance, she absently nibbled on the spoon in her hand. While
she agreed that Nathan was indeed well-dressed, she was amused to hear that he was no womanizer.
She had always known that Nathan’s serious looks were only facades he put on.
Quite the contrary, it was only yesterday that he sent her a message asking her to spend the night at
his place.
Caroline could not help but wonder why Nathan had become so popular, as it was she who had made
the bold move to sleep with him upon his return to the country.
Caroline savored the overbearingly-sweet milk pudding in her mouth, though she could not make out its
flavor.
The official dinner of Faraday Group had commenced. Nathan walked toward the rostrum. With one
hand resting on the rostrum, he delivered his speech in a low, magnetic voice. “Hello, everyone. I am
Nathan Faraday. Thank you for coming.”
Nathan kept his speech concise. However, despite the brevity of his words, his audience applauded
him loudly, enthralled by
his charm.
The famous socialites at the event could not take their eyes off him, captivated by his presence.
Once his speech was over, Nathan gracefully made his way through the hall. He was soon surrounded
by people of great importance, including high-profile investors. Alfred followed Nathan from behind and
poured him a glass of wine.
As Nathan drank his glass of wine, he nonchalantly placed a hand in his trouser pocket, lowered his
eyebrows, and smiled faintly, making him appear as though he was the life of the party
Is that the heir of the Faraday family?” Francesca implored. “He really doesn’t disappoint in his first
appearance. Truly an outstanding man!” she exclaimed.
Joseph and Nicole chimed in to urge Wrenna to pursue Nathan. A man like him doesn’t come around
often, Wrenna. Try to get close to him with every chance you get. You have to make his our son-in-law
Wrenna was absolutely bewitched by Nathan as she gazed at him across the hall. The heir of the
Faraday family was even more striking in person than she had imagined. Aside from his wealth, Nathan
exuded an aura of calmness and confidence, checking off every box on her list of what constituted the
perfect man.
“Nathan Faraday…” Wrenna repeated his name to herself. She knew she had that find a way to get
closer to him and eventually make him hers.
Just as Wrenna was lost in her thoughts, the host appeared on stage. “Ladies and gentlemen, the
Faraday Group’s banquet has officially begun. And now, the highlight of the evening, the bidding for a
dance with Nathan. Ladies, you may place your
bids now.”
As soon as the bidding was announced to begin, the room heated up with excitement. The air crackled
with anticipation as the wealthy socialites began to compete in bidding.

“750 thousand dollars!”
“1.5 million dollars!”
Their bids grew higher and higher with each passing moment.
Wrenna watched the scene unfold, awaiting the perfect moment to place her bid. Suddenly, she quickly
raised her paddle. “7.5 million dollars!” she announced confidently.
Everyone gasped when they heard a whopping 7.5 million dollars.
All eyes turned toward Wrenna. Nathan himself looked up in her direction.
His gaze lingered on her for a moment.
Wrenna’s heart raced with excitement at the possibility of dancing with Nathan.
She could not help but wonder if he might fall in love with her at first sight.
Just then, another voice cut through the murmurs and gasps, shocking everyone with the astronomical
price for a dance. “15 million dollars.”
