CHAPTER 57 You Finally Came

  Alfie's POV

  I managed to completely resolve the rumors about me being a bastard before Lottie's birthday. The media outlets that spread those rumors faced the most severe punishment under relevant laws, and they also published articles to clarify the truth about me and my mother.

  On the day of Lottie's birthday banquet, I spent three hours getting myself ready from head to toe, repeatedly checking if there was anything inappropriate about my appearance. Today, I had to be more popular than that Joseph!

  With a nervous heart, I arrived at the venue of the banquet and unexpectedly ran into Nell at the entrance. She was wearing a red gown, with a proud expression that resembled a queen.

  But when she looked at me, there was a hint of disdain in her eyes. I thought maybe I had done something wrong or offended her without knowing.

  "Congratulations on successfully resolving the rumors about being a bastard child."

  "Thank you..." I said with some hesitation.
