“Dad, what do you mean by that?” Emma was usually intelligent and calm. However, she quickly loses her rationality when it comes to Nathan. At that moment, her thoughts were still in a jumble.
Roland said, “Simply put, Nathan only broke off the engagement because of the child! But what if you accept the existence of this child? You should agree if Nathan plans to take the child as his own. With Emily’s fondness for you, she will definitely not want to see you suffer! In the future, when your engagement with Nathan is set in stone, you can take the opportunity to have a baby. By then, the Carters will naturally refuse that child a status within the family!”
Emma felt that her father’s plan made sense. But the thought of accepting that child made her disagree, even if it was just for pretense!
“Em, this is a small sacrifice for our future! Is there any difference if you have to wait a little longer after waiting so many years? The more virtuous you appear now, the more Emily will like you! And Nathan only has his mother. He obviously cannot go against his mother for Olivia. Otherwise, why was Olivia driven out of the family that easily five years ago?”
Roland’s gentle and steady tone was convincing.
Lily immediately agreed. “Em, your father is right! For now, let’s endure this problem. You will be the winner in the end! Instead of being angry here, why don’t you dress up and attend the banquet hosted by Sphaera Group tonight? You should take this opportunity to appear in public with Nathan more often and make your relationship steady as soon as possible. By then, everyone will think you are a couple. Are you afraid that Nathan will deny it?”
Emma gritted her teeth after hearing her parents‘ words and finally saw reason. That’s right! The position of Mrs. Carter could only be hers. Who was Olivia? How dare she try to compete with her? The hatred between the Monroe and Carter families could not be easily resolved with just a child!
Emma cheered up at the thought. “I understand, Mom and Dad. I will do as you say. I’m heading up to pick out a beautiful dress right away.” With that, she briskly walked upstairs.
Seeing this, Lily and Roland also breathed a sigh of relief.
At eight in the evening, the banquet went on as scheduled. The venue was on the sixth floor of Monarch Hotel. Tonight, all the prominent figures from Emberfall attended the banquet, all dressed in priceless clothes, exuding elegance and extraordinary charm.
When Olivia and Lucas arrived, the banquet had already begun.
“Are you nervous?” Before entering, Lucas asked Olivia.
Olivia smiled. “Not at all.” Although she rarely attended such occasions abroad, she was not afraid. She could handle anyone and hold her ground!
Lucas smiled back. “I guess that question was pointless. It would be strange if people working with King every day were nervous!” After saying that, he offered his arm. “Let’s go. Tonight, I’ll introduce you to more people! They will all have to give you some attention with me around.”
Olivia nodded and placed her hand on his arm.
As the two entered, many guests at the scene noticed and turned their heads. Some people immediately recognized Lucas! The Martinez family was one of the top ten affluent families in Emberfall. Although they were at the bottom of the list, their status and identity were still at the top. Besides, Lucas had a good

reputation. His business acumen was among the best of the younger generation. Coupled with his handsome face and striking eyes, he attracted many socialites like bees to honey!
When he appeared at the entrance, many socialites‘ eyes lit up.
But they were flabbergasted when they saw the woman beside him.
“Does Mr. Martinez have a new companion again? Who is this elegant lady? I don’t think I’ve seen her before.”
“She’s truly stunning. Just look at the air around her. She radiates a charm of sophistication… Has Mr. Martinez’s preferences changed?”
“Mr. Martinez is still the same, surrounded by admirers but never committing to any. He goes through companions like a revolving door, yet none can capture his heart…”
The onlookers murmured softly, occasionally snippets of conversation reaching Olivia’s ears.
Olivia could not resist glancing at him and saying, “Why, it seems that someone is a notorious ladies‘ man.”
