Chapter 221 No Beauties Left!

# Finished

Seeing the situation, Tom teased, “If Ms. Harper is considered ordinary, then I guess there are no beauties left in the world!“

Blushing at the compliment, Ellis covered her face, “That’s not true!”

“By the way, Tom, why do you always call her Ms. Harper and never introduce her by her first name?” a man asked,

Reminded by his friend, Tom tapped her forehead, “Look at my memory: I’ve just gotten used to calling her Ms. Harper. It slipped my mind to use her first name!”

Clearing his throat, he introduced her formally. “Ms. Harper’s full name is Ellis. She’s Carly’s foster daughter–Carly from the Hudson family. You guys know them, right?”

Carly wasn’t so famous that her name was instantly recognizable to everyone, but there was an unspoken understanding in high society, mentioning the Hudson family typically referred to Carly’s branch.

Tom’s introduction clicked; everyone suddenly understood Ellis’s background, thinking of all the swirling gossip, and the jatmosphere froze for a few seconds in a heavy silence.

Feeling the awkwardness, Ellis wished she could dig her toes into the ground.

“So, you’re Ms. Carly’s foster daughter? She just visited my parents a few days ago

The silence was broken by the man who had handed her a cocktail earlier.

Not wanting to linger on the embarrassment, she followed up, “What did Carly want with your parents!”

“Ms. Carly asked my parents to arrange for us to meet, the man said cryptically, making Ellis even more uncomfortable.

meet–up, huh? It sounded more like a setup for a blind date. The man in front of her was likely the suitor Carly had in mind

for her.

As his words settled, Ellis noticed the subtle glances from others.

She didn’t know exactly why they were looking, but she could guess it had something to do with Carly, probably heard al Carly’s attempts to set her up on dates.

Still tied to high society, everywhere she went brought these awkward encounters; she was really over it.

Seeing Ellis’s discomfort becoming evident, Torn quickly changed the subject

WhatsApp was the most popular social app, and adding someone on WhatsApp was a common social interaction. However, coming from Carly’s chosen suitor, the request seemed loaded with implications.

Aware of others watching, including Tom’s friend, she reluctantly took out her phone and showed her WhatsApp code. As soon as the friend request was accepted, the chat displayed the man’s name.

Given the awkwardness this gathering kept bringing, she decided it was best to make an excuse to leave.

Tom, ever curious, turned to Edric, “Why did Carly ask your parents to set up a meeting between you and Ellis?”
