Chapter 27 The Protagonist Appears
Lark was the angriest of all, grabbing Bianca’s hand in a huff. “What the heck is going on? Didn’t you say
y Hazel couldn’t even get in
She was clearly pissed that everyone was gawking at Hazel, totally forgetting she was the M
Murphy family heir.
“……..” Bianca was at a loss for words. The Galaxy Group would never how to the York Lamily’s demands, and Alden would never bring Hazel, the so–called jinx, along
“I think she probably smack in,” she mumbled, unsure, but Lark bought it
They were about to confront Hazel when they saw Erik already standing in front of her.
Hazel stood on the red carpet, rocking high heels
She could feel everyone’s eyes on her, but she stayed cool, a calm smile on her face
If she hadn’t seen Erik, shed still be beaming.
“What are you doing here?” Erik’s eyes showed a flicker of surprise, but he kept his voice low
ked, this is
“Why can’t I he bere? Last I checked is a York family event, not yours. Do I need to check in with you
Η u too?” Hazel found at amusing.
“The Astor family wouldn’t have brought you, and the Galaxy Group didn’t get an invite from the York family. Did you sneak in?” Erik pressed.
“What are you getting at?” Hazel frowned.
“Hazel, if you get caught at a high–end ment like this, it would be super embarrassing.” Erik said, looking concerned.
Seeing him like this, Hazel felt she must have been a fool to ever like such a hypocrite.
“But it’s okay.” Erik suddenly changed his tone and even stepped clover. “Hold my arm and come in with me. I’ll say I brought you. After all, to everyone else, you’re still my girlfriend
Seeing his offered arm, Hazel smirked.
This made Erik feel awkward. He couldn’t hide a Hash of anger in his eyes as he spoke quietly, “Hazel, mind your place. Tin trying to help you out.”
“No thanks, keep your fake kindness to yourself.” Hazel shot him a look and turned to leave. After breaking up, we should stay out of each other’s way. Mr. Murphy, you get that, right?
Erikt face darkened. He stared at the Så million fitted gown she was wearing, thinking she looked different today, almost like a goddess.
“Why is Erik still trying to help that witch? Lark fumed, stomping her foot. Bianca stood beside her, feeling conflicted. She was Erik’s girlfriend now, but his eyes were always on Hazel.
But she would never let Hazel get tangled up with Erik again.
“Lark,” Bianca said, stepping closer. “If she dared to sneak in, she can’t blame us for any trouble later.”
Hearing this, Lark grinned, and they headed towards the
entrance together.
Hazel, now alone, took a sip of champagne, her eyes scanning
the crowd.
Everyone at the York family’s banquet was either rich or noble, many of them industry giants you’d only see in business magazines.
At a shindig like this, networking was the name of the game.
Hazel stood on the edge of the crowd, looking like she didn’t quite belong.
Just then, a waiter in uniform approached her.
- Astor, we got a report that you entered this private event without showing an invitation. We need to verify this. The staff members tone was still
But in a place like this, it quickly dies everyone’s attention. People started looking at flazel, whispering and pointing.

“This kind of woman will do anything to snag a

This is a first for me.”
Another person chimed in. First time? Shes Hazel. She’s pulled all sorts of stunts. You wouldn’t believe the stuff she did at 18!”
“So, her wild private life is just a habis.”
“Isnt she Eriks girlfriend? A wealthy guy standing with Enk frowned and blurted out.
He was a childhood friend of Eriks and had met Hazel before, knowing she was a lonker. But he didn’t expect her to make such a striking impression today.. like a goddess.

up today?
“Didn’t they break up at the engagement party? How does the still have the nerve to show up t
Those insults and accusations didn’t faze Harl. She casually pulled out a gold embossed invitation from her bag
Enk walked up to her at that moment
Hello, Mr. Murphy. The staff member nodded respectfully to him. “Someone reported that Ms. Astor crashed this private event. Did she come with you??
Erik glanced at Hazel remembering her cold words earlier, and shook his head heartlessly. “Hazel, why are you here?” His eyes flashed with confusion. “Didn’t kou say you weten i coming because you didn 1 feel comfortable in kuch settings?!
The answer was clear. Harel gave him a cold look..
Blanca was nervous, thinking Enk was going to help Hazel out of trouble.
But he just asked that question, and Blanca felt all bat frustration melt away.
The staff member, hearing Erik’s words, looked a bit cold. “Ms. Astor, without an invitation, outsiders aren’t allowed at this private event. Please leave
Immediately.”
Before he could finish, the gold–embossed invitation was already in front of him, leaving everyone stunned.
“How does she have an invitation?” Someone shouted.
“Could it be fake?”
Hearing these doubts. Hazel glanced at the staff member. “Hurry up and check if it’s real.”
The staff member, embarrassed, took the invitation and saw Hazel’s name on it:
So she was a specully invited guest by the York family. But why?
“Sorry, Mu. Astor, it was our mistake,” The staff member apologized.
