Chloe glanced at the high-end wines displayed around the club and nodded. "Sure thing. We've got plenty of wine tonight, so drink up."

Someone asked Adelaide, "Aurelia, do you have any important work to do here in Sovereign City?"

"How long are you planning to stay in Sovereign City?"

Adelaide thought for a moment. "Hard to say. Maybe until my niece graduates, or maybe until she gets married. You know how it is with girls; they always need a bit more protection from family."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Chloe and Zara overheard Adelaide's conversation.

Zara looked at Chloe, puzzled. "Chloe, Adelaide said someone was bullying you. Do you know who it was?"

"Then why did Adelaide say she's staying in Sovereign City until you graduate? What's that about?" Zara was baffled.

Chloe shook her head again. "I just met my aunt today. I know as much as you do, so don't ask me. Just enjoy the wine."

Zara clinked her glass with Chloe's.

They had to admit, the wine was strong. After just a couple of glasses, they were already feeling a bit tipsy.

For the rest of the evening, Adelaide introduced Chloe to her friends, and Chloe could clearly feel how much Adelaide valued her. Adelaide treated Chloe not just as a niece but as if she were her own daughter.

The party went on for a long time.

Even past eleven at night, people were still drinking. Grant kept sending messages, asking when Chloe would be home.

Chloe thought for a moment and called him, telling him she was with her aunt and not to worry.

The party finally ended around two in the morning. Zara called for a driver to take Chloe back to the Martin Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Adelaide pulled Chloe into her car.

Chloe was worried. "Auntie, when I came to Sovereign City, Grandpa said I should stay

with the Martin Family. Won't they be worried if I don't go back?"

Despite having had some wine, Adelaide was very clear-headed.

She explained, "When you first came to Sovereign City, your grandpa was worried about your safety, so he had you stay with the Martin Family."

"Now that I'm here, and we have a villa in Sovereign City, it's not appropriate for you to stay with the Martin Family anymore."

"Your grandpa said that now you're grown up, and as a young woman, it's not suitable to stay in someone else's home. I think he's being very considerate."

Chloe was puzzled. It was Nicholas who had sent her to Sovereign City and arranged for her to stay with the Martin Family to ensure her safety. Now, it was Nicholas saying it wasn't appropriate for her to stay there.

What was Nicholas thinking?

Despite her confusion, Chloe obediently got into Adelaide's car. Worried about Zara getting home safely, Adelaide thoughtfully had her assistant accompany Zara.

The Davis Family villa was in the eastern part of the city, a bit of a distance from the Martin Mansion.

Adelaide, who had drunk quite a bit, seemed to sober up once in the car. She held Chloe's hand tightly, as if afraid she might run away.

"Chloe, it's only been a few years, and you've grown so much. I still remember you as that little girl in elementary school. Time really flies. You've grown up, and I've gotten old."

Chloe quickly reassured her, "Auntie, you're not old at all... You're still very young."

Chloe's words were not mere flattery; they were a testament to Adelaide's timeless elegance. Nudging past the milestone of forty, Adelaide retained an ageless grace, her visage unmarked by the passage of time.

Her poise was impeccable, every gesture and smile a symphony of sophistication. As she cradled her glass of crimson wine, weaving through the crowd with a radiant smile, Chloe could not help but label her with the most fitting of titles: a true socialite!

That innate nobility and confidence made people see her as a goddess.

Such a woman was admired not just by men but by women too.

Because of the wine, Adelaide talked a lot about the past, and Chloe realized that Adelaide was just an ordinary woman.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the Davis Family villa in Sovereign City. Adelaide led Chloe out of the car.

The villa was old but well-maintained, looking as if it had just been renovated.

As Adelaide was about to show Chloe to her room, Chloe's phone rang. It was Grant. It was past two in the morning, and she hadn't returned to the Martin Mansion, so he was naturally worried.

"Hey, Grantie... You're still up?" Chloe was a bit guilty. "Me? I'm with my aunt. She said I should stay with her from now on..."

Chloe explained the situation to Grant, including Adelaide's decision for her to move out of the Martin Mansion.

Adelaide paused, listening to Chloe's conversation.

Grant? Was he the one Nicholas had arranged for Chloe to marry?

Adelaide only had one niece, and the Davis Family's third generation had only this one

girl. As her aunt, she wouldn't let her niece marry just any man.

Anyone wanting to marry Chloe would have to pass Adelaide's test.
