Guests who could attend the banquet were, more or less, on good terms with the Taylors.
Some of them had once sought to marry into the Taylor family by courting Mr. Taylor’s stepdaughter, ingratiating themselves with him.
Little did they know that Mr. Taylor cherished his stepdaughter immensely.
He either looked down on the suitors’ family backgrounds or found the men themselves lacking.
His scrutiny in choosing a son-in-law was more exacting than even a biological father.

Over time, instead of losing popularity, Milly Gray’s stature in the elite circle even rose due to Mr. Taylor’s evident favoritism.
Later, rumors spread that she had caught the eye of the Lucas family.
This buzz significantly boosted Milly Gray’s profile in the upper-class circle.
Now, seeing Milly Gray’s uneven, grotesque forehead.
People couldn’t help but speculate that Mr. Taylor’s refusal to let Milly Gray marry might have been because he knew how frightening she looked with her hair pulled back and wanted to prevent it.
Lily immediately realized that these pits must be the marks left by Milly Gray’s pleading on her knees at the construction site, as Aidan Lucas had mentioned, resulting in a bloodied and bruised forehead.
However, she found it a bit odd.
The wounds seemed to be healing and were clearly treated by a doctor.
Yet, considering Milly Gray’s vanity, she had not opted for cosmetic surgery to fix those injuries.
This detail made Lily suspect something was amiss.
But now, since she needed to teach Milly Gray a lesson, even though she knew the origin of those wounds, she still feigned ignorance and said.
“Don’t wrongfully accuse anyone. I only slapped her twice; these dents on her forehead weren’t caused by me.”
Dominic Taylor, standing close by, could tell that the injuries on Milly Gray’s forehead were not fresh wounds.
What he couldn’t understand, though, was why, even with her forehead injured like that, Milly Gray wouldn’t get a doctor to take care of it.
Weren’t Mrs. and Miss Gray supposed to be the ones who loved beauty the most?
Why then did they disregard the wounds on the forehead this time!
Suddenly being seen by so many guests, although she was the older brother’s stepdaughter, it was the Taylor family’s reputation at stake.
Dominic Taylor couldn’t bring himself to voice his anger; he wasn’t the kind of person to bully others due to his position, nor would he blame an innocent person for these injuries.
Although he would not lash out in anger, this Lily Redington could not stay.
He coldly said to Lily, “Regardless, the injuries on her face were inflicted by you. Miss Redington, as I said, we do not welcome you here, please leave.”
“Mr. Taylor, I apologize. However, I have your invitation in hand; I am a guest here. I’m afraid I can’t simply leave.”
She couldn’t leave.
She had promised Aidan Lucas to catch his interest during the banquet and make him choose no other but her.
If she truly left before the act was over, that domineering man would probably ‘punish’ her again upon her return.
“You’re a guest for today?”
Dominic Taylor frowned, “Impossible, this banquet is only open to wealthy families of profound heritage. Even if you have an invitation, we don’t accept guests of unclear origin.”
This banquet was, frankly, a selection process for Aidan Lucas to find a suitable match for marriage.
The unmarried women who could enter here were almost exclusively from the topmost pedigreed families of Eastonia.
Like Milly Gray, who had previously longed for Aidan Lucas but, due to insufficient status, had to plead with Simon Taylor to be here.
“Wealthy families of profound heritage, you say?”
Lily laughed.
“If that’s the standard… I believe my family is most certainly worthy of such a reputation.”
