'The fact that he can be with Linda means that he's not simple,' Charles mused.
Seeing that it was almost time, Julian turned to Linda and said, "Let's get ready. There's not much time left before the banquet starts."
Linda was overjoyed. "Then I must dress up well tonight and make a grand appearance with you! Let everyone see that the Golden Harvest Group is not to be taken lightly!" As she spoke, Linda hooked her arm through Julian's and rested her head on his shoulder.
Julian was flustered. While he admired Linda for her intellect and business acumen and valued her as a partner, her overzealousness left him at a loss for how to handle her. "Grand appearance? Linda, we're business partners, and you came here without your father's knowledge. If someone recognizes us, it could lead to unnecessary trouble," he chided.
Linda arched an eyebrow and said, "What trouble? You said that this is the safest place. What trouble could there be? No one would dare do anything to me. And I've got bodyguards with me. Besides, I have you. If my father scolds me, you'll definitely help me, won't you?"
Julian let out a sigh. "I'll help you, and I might even assist your father in tying you up and taking you back."
"Julian, how could you!" Linda exclaimed aggrievedly. She turned to Valerie and complained, "Valerie, look at how your brother bullies me!"
Valerie couldn't suppress her smile at the sight of them bickering.
Julian shook his head and took Linda by the arm, signaling it was time to go. "Have a good rest. I'll come by another time!"
Valerie nodded and burst into laughter at seeing her brother tangled up with Linda. Once they had left, Valerie said, "Julian is definitely going to be tightly wrapped around Linda. It's only a matter of time before she wins him over!"
She suddenly thought of Katherine, who had been deceived by a scumbag and deeply engrossed in love. It seemed unlikely that she would rekindle her relationship with her brother.
"It's really a pity," Valerie remarked, letting out a sigh. "It looks like my brother and Katherine really can't be together anymore."
Back then, Katherine was the one by Julian's side, behaving mischievously, while he watched her with loving eyes. Their relationship had now reached this point, a cruel twist of fate.
Matthew patted her shoulder. "Don't be sad. Matters of the heart can't be settled with just a few words. Ending or rekindling the relationship is up to your brother. He just needs to understand his own heart, whether it's with Linda or Katherine.
"If Julian truly wants to marry Linda, I believe Katherine would give her blessing. If he chooses Katherine, he can certainly handle a despicable person like Dale."
Julian was now successful, and any prejudices should no longer stand. He had the absolute advantage; it all depended on his willingness.
Matthew was right. Reassured by his words, Valerie continued playing with the child until a new thought came to her mind. "Oh right, let's watch the TV! Although we can't attend the banquet, we can watch the livestream. With Mr. Redfield's connections in the industry, many people will be there."
Valerie was eager to see how many people would show up and how her brother and Linda would make their entrance. More importantly, she wanted to see Katherine tonight.
Hearing this, Matthew chuckled. "I think you're just eager to find out if Katherine and your brother will have any chance of rekindling their romance." Caught out on her little scheme, Valerie winked at him. "I'm just concerned."
Fortunately, the ward was well-equipped. Matthew turned on the television and switched to the banquet's live stream. People were already arriving at the venue.
"Oh, the red carpet again. Many celebrities have shown up. Just look at the luxury cars at the entrance and the various fan colors. It's crazy!" Matthew commented enthusiastically.
Valerie remarked, "You're really something now, aren't you? You even know the fan colors!"
Matthew was smug. "Of course.
When you were acting, I also stepped into the entertainment industry and learned a lot from you. If you ever return to it, I'll be able to handle it just fine."
Matthew embraced Valerie, and the two laughed together. No matter what, he genuinely cared about the matter.
