It was close to noon, and Miles looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, silently retracting his gaze.

At this point, those who received the invitation and were willing to come should have come, and there would be no point in waiting any longer.

He turned forward, ready to push his father, Malediz, into Beye, but at that moment, he heard an unexpected voice.

"Hehe~ Miles, why didn't you invite me to such an important banquet? If someone hadn't told me this morning, I'd have missed it! ”

Hearing the other party's voice clearly, Miles already knew who it was, he looked back expressionlessly, looked at the young man in front of him who had just gotten off the carriage and was wearing a black evening dress, changed his previous enthusiasm, and said coldly: "Marshall, what are you doing here?"

Marshall Huggins, the son of a wealthy businessman like Myers, had an irreconcilable business relationship that was rare in the business world.

The man known as Marshall shrugged his shoulders lightly and said with a smile, "Of course, on behalf of the Huggins family, I came to the banquet."

Miles' expression remained unchanged, and he asked indifferently, "Have I invited you?"

"Uh-huh......" Marshall stood still, smiling without saying a word.

Soon, the carriage carrying him stopped in the open part of the street, and a man jumped from it and walked all the way to Marshall's side.

Miles looked up and down, it was an ordinary-looking, tall, muscular middle-aged man, dressed in a brown skit.

Is this endangering me?

Thinking to himself, Miles walked up to Maledez Huntington in a few steps, protected the other party behind, and frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

"I'm just here for a banquet." Marshall smiled, as if he didn't understand anything.

At this time, Maledez Huntington, who had been in a wheelchair and had not spoken, said weakly: "Since you are here, you are a guest." Miles, bring someone in......"

Miles glanced back at his father in surprise, and only after the other man nodded lightly did he breathe a sigh of relief and suppress the fire in his heart.

Then he said to the Marshalls, "Please come in!"

The corners of Marshall's mouth rose, and he walked past Miles with the servant, and said lightly: "It's still Mr. Huntington, who knows how to entertain guests!"

Miles was silent, and when there was no one else near the gate, he asked unwillingly, "Father, why?" He's here to make trouble, so why let him in? ”

"That's why I'm letting him in." Malediz slowly explained: "The family is not as good as before, there are no more manpower, and he can't afford to spend it. We can only take a step back and let him in, and as for what he wants after that, we will find a way to solve it. Otherwise, even the banquet will not be held normally, and we will lose our last chance. ”

Miles let out a long sigh, "Okay......"

……

The three-story Beno Hall is already full of people, and there are food and drinks arranged in various places for people to eat at will@There is also a record player placed in the corner, which has been emitting a melodious melody, making the banquet seem lively and quiet.

Miles, who pushed his father into the banquet hall, didn't take long to find Natalie Theodore in a black one-piece dress.

"Miss Natalie, my father will ask you to take care of it first, and when my mother is done, she will come to you too."

Natalie took the wheelchair with Malediz and said with a smile: "You should tell me in advance if you have difficulties, it will be very tiring to do everything yourself."

After Natalie entered the hall, she had been observing the situation at the Huntington house, and the results were very unsatisfactory. Most of the disappeared furniture, objects, etc. are considered small. Most of them were laid off by the servants alone, and even the conscientious housekeeper was not left.

What exactly has been experienced? Will it fall to this point in just half a decade?

"It's nothing." Leaving a word, Miles smiled and turned away.

Passing through the crowd and greeting acquaintances, Miles came to a corner of the hall where a young woman with blond hair and blue eyes in a dark green dress was sitting in a high-backed chair, looking at a book in her hands.

"Miss Sydney, let's get started!"

Sydney looked up, her turquoise eyes glinting with a faint light. She smiled and nodded, got up slightly, and walked to the piano on the right wall of the hall under the gaze of Miles, and then she lifted the hem of her skirt and sat down on the stool in front of the piano.

The slender fingers were placed on the piano, and with the shaking of the joints, the keys with different sounds were pressed one by one, and a melodious and light piano song was transmitted throughout the hall.

Unlike dead things like the record player, after Sydney played the piano, many people who had a certain degree of attainment in this area, or who had rich appreciation ability, stopped talking one after another, and looked at the big piano and the girl next to the piano.

The melodious melody lingering in her ears seemed to be like a cheerful girl, she was lively and smart, laughing, playing, and making trouble in everyone's ears, but there was no trace of disgust and disgust, but such a happy emotion gradually began to infect everyone seat.

Time passed minute by minute, and the prelude to the piano passed, and some knowledgeable people heard the name of the piano piece and read it out in their hearts.

"The Girl in the Woods."

The rhythm of the middle half of the piece changes, becoming more joyful and exciting, as if the girl is no longer dancing alone, but with a multitude of people who match her personality, joining in, forming a dance party in the forest that no one can enjoy.

On stage, they sometimes gather together and sing carefree; Sometimes they are separated from the left and right, and they dance in different ways......

The melody slows down, and the ball comes to an end, and the crowd slowly disperses, leaving only one last person to dance in the center until the notes dissipate in the banquet hall.

"Bang Bang ......"

In the crowd, some people applauded, and at the same time, others were also aroused, and for a while applause broke out, and there was a faint "good" sound.

When the applause was over, Sydney got up from the stool, saluted around, and prepared to sit back on the stool and play the next piano song.

But at this moment, a young man in a black evening dress walked out of the crowd and said with a smile: "This lady has not been learning piano for a long time, and I can hear a jerky feeling from your music......

Sydney frowned faintly and wanted to speak, but heard the young man continue: "But you can't be blamed for this, after all, you were invited by the Huntington family. But here, I'm going to ask you, Miles, is it possible that your family has prepared such a clumsy show to fool us who have come from afar? ”
