Lucinda’s frown deepened. Some of the people on the extensive list of promised attendees should have arrived by now.
She knew that something was off.
As Lucinda was lost in thought, a car drove past the fountain and came to a stop at the entrance.
The bodyguard seated in the front passenger seat was the first to step out of the car and opened the back door for a woman.
Stepping out of the car was a tall, well-dressed woman wearing a mature and dignified white dress.
It was none other than Violeta.
Mrs. Simmons, as she was known, had not only held the title but was also praised as the most beautiful flight attendant in Cadiered’s air ministry.
“Violeta, what brings you here?” Lucinda asked, greeting her politely.
“Your brother had to return to the State Affairs Bureau for some urgent matter. I had nothing else to do, so I thought I’d come here and support you,” Violeta explained.
As soon as she saw Lucinda, Violeta gave her a warm smile and took her wrist. However, she soon noticed how quiet it was and checked the time.
“Why isn’t anyone else here at this time?” Violeta wondered aloud still holding onto Lucinda’s wrist.
“Who could be behind all of this’
Violeta too realized the gravity of the situation.
If no business tycoon showed up by the time the ribbon-cutting ceremony began, the news would make headlines in the afternoon, turning Lucinda’s aspirations to build her career into a laughing stock.
It was clear that whoever was behind this had a specific motive.

When Lucinda noticed that Violeta seemed to be even more distressed than her, she comforted Violeta with a reassuring smile.
“Don’t worry, maybe they got delayed on the way here.”
Lucinda’s gaze landed on Vivian, who had been transferred from Forden.
“Could you please contact the guests on the list and inquire if they need any assistance?” she asked.
“Yes, ma’am,” Vivian replied dutifully.
But Violeta shook her head.
“None of them have shown up. It can’t be just a coincidence. Don’t try to comfort me. You must feel worse.”
A calm smile spread across Lucinda’s face.
“There’s no need to worry,” she said reassuringly.
