Banquet Hall.
The Hayes Family confidants who had initially opposed the alliance between the two families exchanged glances at this moment, understanding that the matter was now settled, and they began stepping forward to congratulate the two families on their union.
The entire banquet hall buzzed with lively celebration.
When Mrs. Hayes personally appeared in the hall holding Ellie's hand, it sparked another wave of excitement.
Mrs. Hayes's gaze settled on Elder Johnson, someone of her own generation seated across the room.
Back then, they were partners standing at the same heights in cooperation.
But it was a pity.
Over time, things changed, and unknowingly, they had been rivals for half a lifetime.
Mrs. Hayes smiled slightly. "It's been so many years since we've seen each other. Your hair is all white now. You've gotten old."
A voice called out.
Elder Johnson turned his head, cutting through the crowd to look at Mrs. Hayes, who was also surrounded by a throng of people.
