However, it was only after she arrived that she discovered, to her surprise, that the hotel where Simon Taylor had arranged Aidan Lucas’s blind date banquet belonged to the Reddington family.
“Daddy said a few years ago that he wanted to enter the Eastonian market, and it seems he’s done quite well.”
“Arianna, no, Young Lady, don’t be in a rush… We at least have to get our story straight. When we meet people who know the Taylors and the Lucas family, I can introduce you properly.”
Seeing that people at the hotel entrance had already noticed them, Benjamin Lucas IX quickly pulled Lily aside.
“Alright, let’s go over it once more.” Lily really didn’t want to bring Benjamin along, he truly was quite the talker.
“My name is Lily Redington, 26 years old, with a master’s degree from one of the most prestigious European universities. My father is… um… the CEO of a multinational corporation with a title in Europe. My mother’s family is quite distinguished as well, but I don’t have a good relationship with my mother’s side of the family, so it’s best not to mention it.”

Lily tilted her head and thought for a moment, skipping over the things she shouldn’t mention, “Right, I also have an older brother, a few years my senior. That’s roughly the situation with my family, what do you think? Is it okay?”
“This… this…” Benjamin was at a loss for words, his mouth opening and closing without producing a sound.
“What’s the matter, not good enough?” Lily mused internally. She hadn’t spoken a word of the things she shouldn’t have.
Such as being a twin, or the Reddington Group’s ties to the mafia, or her proficiency with a gun and that her combat skills were up to scratch.
“No, it’s not that it’s not good enough, it’s… it’s too good. Arianna, don’t you think this sounds a bit too fabricated? Speaking like this might have the opposite effect.”
“No, not at all. I’ve been very restrained in what I’ve said.”
Through her interactions with Benjamin over this period, Lily had long realized that this newly appointed Benjamin Lucas IX likely had no knowledge of the events that took place four years ago.
This was actually for the best, as if Lily Gray had completely ceased to exist. Today, she was re-emerging, adopting the identity of Lily Redington.
“Alright, it’s about time. Remember, from now on, my name is Lily Redington.”
Having said that, Lily lifted the hem of her dress and walked toward the hotel’s entrance.
Benjamin, unable to stop her, could only sigh helplessly and hurried after her.
Forget it, once they were inside, he would just stick close to Arianna and move towards a less crowded place.
To ensure she wasn’t asked any revealing questions before Mr. Lucas made his appearance.

Inside the banquet hall, many unmarried socialites had already gathered.
Most of them had come with their elders.
Even if not accompanied by an elder, they came alone.
Any unmarried girl who wished to catch Aidan Lucas’s eye at the banquet would definitely not attend with a male companion.
Therefore, when a woman of stunning beauty, dressed in a sapphire blue haute couture dress, appeared in the banquet hall,
She immediately caught the attention of all the distinguished guests and socialites present.
The reason she garnered so much attention,
Was not only because of Lily’s delicate features, fair skin, and graceful demeanor.
The most important reason was that she entered the banquet hall arm in arm with the immaculately dressed Benjamin Lucas IX.
After all, this was a blind date banquet.
What young girl would come accompanied by a male partner?
Because of this, Lily and Benjamin quickly became the focus of the entire hall.
“Look over there… who is that woman? That dress she’s wearing, I just saw it on the website yesterday. It’s said to be next season’s new product, and she’s already wearing it.”
In a corner, a tall, fair-skinned beauty, also in a sapphire blue dress, was asking her companion.
