Chapter 232: Mortifying

3:30 PM.

The Bell family's mansion was newly decorated, brimming with the fragrance of flowers.

The vast garden had been turned into a banquet venue, surrounded by colorful lights.

The guests stood in groups of three or five, conversing in low tones—the atmosphere was both lively and remarkably well-mannered.

"I heard the Bell family has found their daughter, who had been lost for many years—Miss Julia Land," a lady of high society whispered to her friend beside her.

"Indeed, it's quite surprising. She is now the chairwoman of Moore Group," another lady affirmed with a nod.

It was truly a peak in life.

Julia Land and James Thompson had arrived at the Bell residence early, only to separate as soon as they reached there.

Connor Bell and Madame Bell stood at the entrance greeting the guests with smiles on their faces.

And Julia Land stood by Madame Bell's side.

She wore a light blue gown today, both intelligent and appropriate for the occasion.
