From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 1538: 694 Jade Face Peach Blossom_3 Chapter 1538: 694 Jade Face Peach Blossom_3 Peter Aria’s eyes were helpless, “You…”

After their laughter subsided, they snuggled on the sofa together, engrossed in a book — their favorite pastime from their youth.

These past few days had been so blissful for Peter Aria that they felt somewhat surreal.

He was always grappling with a sense of unreality.

Even with his lover by his side, a sense of regret lingered in his heart.

Cradling his hand in her cool, graceful one, she inquired, “What are you thinking about?”

Peter Aria sighed heavily, “I don’t want to cause you any heartache, but…I still don’t know where that child is.

Fanny, I am the one who has wronged you.

If it weren’t for my impulsiveness that year, you wouldn’t have had to be separated from your daughter, and our family of three could have been reunited long ago.”

If it wasn’t for Virginia Frost’s persecution years ago, their family of three would be living a tranquil, harmonious life, plain yet warm.

...

Each time this thought crossed his mind, a dull pain would throb in his heart.

His guilt towards Nikita Parker would become even more profound.

Nikita Parker chuckled and shook her head, “Perhaps, this is destiny’s best arrangement.”

“As for the child…we’ll reunite one day.”

——

On the first day of August, the Harts hosted a grand birthday banquet at the Crown Hotel.

Many influential families from Pethkids attended.

The banquet hall was filled with graceful ladies, mirthful conversations, and clinking glasses.

Many socialites from Pethkids also attended.

The moment, the most eligible bachelor in Pethkids was Agave Rinto.

Countless socialites had set their sights on him, this piece of enticing ‘meat’.

Rumor had it that Agave Rinto would attend the banquet, leading to an outpouring of socialites.

“It’s Ms.

Groove.” The socialites’ eyes brightened as they all rushed towards her.

“Ms.

Groove, this custom-made dress is perfect, it complements your temperament extremely well.”

“Ms.

Groove, I saw your new movie.

Your acting skills are marvelous!

I am certain that you will defend your title at the Golden Deer Awards this year.”

“Ms.

Groove, you recently took the university entrance exam.

I am certain with your intelligence, you would have scored well and received admission from your desired university.”

The moment Sanny Groove appeared, she was immediately surrounded by the socialites.

Not only was she the leader of the younger generation in the Jimenez film industry, but she also held a high position in the circle of Pethkids socialites.

Although the Grooves didn’t have a solid foundation, her junior, Nikita Parker from the the Rintos and the Harts, paid a lot of attention to the Grooves.

Artie Group’s entertainment company also provided Sanny Groove with full support in the entertainment industry.

Who would dare to offend her?

Being the closest to the moon, if they could get closer to Agave Rinto through Sanny Groove, that would be the best.

Sanny Groove was disgusted by the socialites’ flattery.

She kept her temper down with great difficulty.

Fortunately, Nana Breezent appeared just in time, rescuing Sanny Groove from a circle of socialites.

“You, still unaccustomed to these types of gatherings, your little face all puffed up in anger, so adorable.” Nana Breezent couldn’t help pinching Sanny Groove’s cheek.

This child was genuinely the polar opposite of Aubree Groove — clear about likes and dislikes, but she loved it; wishing she could treat Sanny Groove as her own daughter.

She had repeatedly marveled at how fortunate Madam Groove was.

“A swarm of buzzing flies, if it weren’t for the fact that this is Madam Hart’s birthday banquet, I would have told them off,” Sanny Groove said coldly.

Nana Breezent shook her head with a chuckle.

This kind of temperament can easily offend people, but she knew when to put a brake on her impulses.

Plus, with the attention she received from the Rintos and the Harts, no one dared to provoke her.

“By the way, your university entrance exam results are out, right?

Did you get into your dream university?”

Sanny Groove’s face lit, “I scored above the tier one cut off.

I’ve already received the admission notice from the Film Academy.”

Nana Breezent exclaimed in joy, “I knew it!”.

She could start preparing the red packets.

Sanny Groove was a superstar, eager to get wherever she went.

Even high-end gatherings like this one had paparazzi who made every effort to blend in, trying to get first-hand news about Sanny Groove.

Fengxing Entertainment was the most famous gossip company in the industry.

Its number one paparazzo, Stanley, was renowned within the circle.

There reportedly wasn’t a celebrity he couldn’t photograph or a scandal he failed to uncover.

Previously, there were rumors that Alaric Moore was overly intimate with a man, sparking suspicions about a love affair.

Stanley would not miss this opportunity — he had been following Alaric Moore for a long time.

He had gone through great lengths to infiltrate the Hart’s banquet.

Even if he couldn’t find any news about Alaric Moore’s love affair tonight, the upper-class gossip was enough to make headlines.

He had to keep his eyes peeled tonight.

The appearance of Agave Rinto brought the banquet to its climax.

The minds of the socialites were stirring.

However, to their surprise and disappointment, he already had a lady by his side.

Dallyn touched the ornament in her hair and sighed, “Master McKay, do you have a conscience at all?

It’s not easy for a college student like me to have a weekend.

I planned to go to the lake with my boyfriend, but look at you, dragging me here to fend off your unwanted admirers.

Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

While complaining, her face was adorned with an impeccable smile.

The man beside her lowered his voice, infusing his words with allure.

“Boyfriend?

Bring him to meet me one day.

I’d like to see this man.”

“Please don’t.

I’m afraid you’ll scare him away.”

“Am I that frightful to you?”

Dallyn snorted, “Whether you’re frightful or not, you should know best.”

The bickering duo’s arms were interlocked.

From afar, the handsome man and the beautiful woman indeed seemed to make a good match.

Solene Moore sat in a corner, swirling a glass of champagne.

Lexi Benz walked over and quickly took the glass of wine from her hand, “Stop drinking.

You’ll get drunk if you keep drinking.

Would you like to make a scene at Madam Hart’s banquet?”

Solene Moore managed a bitter smile, “If only I could get drunk.”

Seeing her like this also brought Lexi Benz down, “My father is pressing me to marry again.

I’m utterly exhausted.

I wish I could leave Pethkids immediately.”

She wished to marry into Lostswa, but her contacts there had been severed after her cousin’s mishap, her Auntie’s health had drastically deteriorated.

She can no longer rely on her Auntie’s network to maneuver things in Lostswa.

Her first choice remained Peter Aria, but she had no clue where Peter was now.

On a hunch, Lexi Benz lifted her head and saw a familiar figure.

She blinked her eyes, assuming she was hallucinating.

With a face full of ecstasy, she abruptly stood up.

“It’s Mr.

Aria.”

Embroidered in her sorrows, Solene Moore suddenly lifted her head, her face full of disbelief.

Immediately, Solene Moore’s face turned pale.

By Peter Aria’s side stood a breathtakingly beautiful woman.

The banquet was filled with vibrant colors and a rainbow of beautiful women, but they all paled in comparison.

The moment the woman appeared, it felt as if moonlight washing over everything, rendering everything else dull in comparison.
