Chapter 488 Choosing the Wrong Occasion I quickly stood up and positioned myself beside Bella, taking a slight step back to avoid overshadowing her.

It was evident that Archie had come over for Bella.

Bella had always seemed mysterious to me, her identity remaining a puzzle. I enjoyed deciphering the interpersonal relationships here, especially when I wanted to understand Bella better. She was quite alluring to me. More precisely, Bella possessed a charismatic personality.

At this moment, she gracefully shook hands with Archie, exuding a gentle yet distant allure that made her inscrutable. Her demeanor was

perfectly balanced, with just the right touch of charm.

She didn't forget to mention me standing beside her. "Mr. Archie, this is Atlas’s girlfriend, Chloe." Her introduction was interesting, positioning me as Atlas's girlfriend, not just a friend or companion but a girlfriend. This indicated that Bella was quite discerning. After all, my status hadn't been confirmed by Atlas, so she couldn't outright claim it. However, this introduction still caught Archie's attention. After all, Atlas was still a significant figure in this circle.

I stepped forward and courteously shook hands with Archie. "Mr. Archie, hello." "Atlas's girlfriend?" he seemed surprised, giving me a once-over.

Before he could say anything, a large hand clasped around my waist. "Yes, Uncle Archie. She’s my girlfriend.” "You do need a girlfriend. A perfect career and family life complete your life's perfection. You've been in Foswood for a long time this year. You should come and visit the old lady more often. You're the elder brother among the grandchildren and you should set a good example." Archie was direct.

"I've been doing that. If you're not satisfied, I might as well move in." Atlas responded naturally, indicating their deeply profound relationship.

"Well, that's not a bad idea. This house is so big, and your two cousins aren't coming back. Grandma is living a simple life alone as elderly people love

the hustle and bustle. You boys aren't as considerate as girls." Archie's words were like those of an indulgent father, devoid of the airs and graces of his high status.

Bella smiled with a gentle warmth, her gaze toward Atlas filled with affection.

Presumably, with everyone gathered, a waiter came to inform the elderly lady that they should all be seated.

Archie promptly gestured for everyone to sit, and I was led into the hall by Atlas.

The Beringer family's hall was decorated in an elegant traditional style, showcasing the deep-rooted heritage of the family. It was dignified but not extravagant, a perfect

reflection of Archie’s status.

It was clear that Rose placed her son at the forefront.

We were naturally arranged to sit at Rose's table, with prominent individuals present. Meanwhile, Atticus and Liora, even Bella, Jared and Trinity, sat at the lower-ranking table for business people.

To be honest, I felt a bit apprehensive.

However, Atlas remained unperturbed.

Today, Rose was the host, and she truly deserved that role. She radiated a commanding presence, allowing me to witness the true aura of a strong woman. I couldn't help but admire her profoundly. In my eyes, this lady was

nothing short of a divine figure.

During the meal, the guests raised their glasses to Rose. I discreetly excused myself to go to the restroom, and to my surprise, Liora followed me.

She stood behind me, looking at me with a sneer. "You finally attached yourself to a big shot and made it to higher social class. I didn't expect you to have such tactics." As I washed my hands and looked at Liora in the mirror, I responded with a light smile, "Liora, there's no need to be so sharp with your words. Let me advise you, if you want to cause trouble, choose the right occasion. This isn't the place for your arrogance." I finished washing my hands and grabbed a hand towel to dry them.

"If you have any thoughts or | grievances, we can have a proper chat on another day. I believe we can always do that. After all, we're all in Foswood.

There should be a limit to things. Don't make it uncomfortable for everyone, especially on today's occasion. Let's not spoil Mrs. Rose's mood." My words were meant to console Liora, urging her to consider the situation before creating a scene. However, my words seemed to irk her even more.

"Hmph. You're just an underling, acting all self-righteous. You know this is the Beringer family’s residence, right?" "Exactly," I repeated, making it clear that she should recognize the situation.
