Chapter 43
Sophie felt a bit awkward as she noticed numerous compliments coming in about her smile. She had no idea that her smile could be so contagious,
She suddenly gained some confidence from those praises.
Daisy carefully stepped out of the car, positioning herself next to Sophie and Roger, wearing a gentle smile.
Having posed still for the paparazzi to capture a few shots, Roger grinned and took Sophie’s hand. He whispered into her ear, “You did great. Now, let’s head to the banquet.”
Sophie smiled happily after receiving the praises. She turned around to look at Daisy and said, “Daisy, let’s go.”
Daisy smiled kindly and replied, “Alright. Sophie, you help Roger and go ahead. I’ll follow you.” She did not want to be a third wheel for Sophie and Roger.
Sophie smiled and followed Daisy’s advice, holding Roger into the venue.
With Sophie’s support, nobody could see any issue with Roger’s eyes. They felt Sophie and Roger were a perfect couple when they snapped photos of them.
Sophie and Roger passed Ronald and Emily and walked into the hotel.
Seeing Sophie and Roger from behind, Emily couldn’t help but scoff. “Tsk, I thought they would be disappointed about not seeing Isabella. I didn’t expect them to get so excited about another beauty.”
Emily thought, ‘I was expecting a scene. It turned out that nothing had happened.
Ronald looked at Sophie’s graceful back and could not help but admire, “I have to admit that Sophie looks stunning today. Everyone is captivated by her beauty. There’s nothing I can do about
it.”
When Emily saw Ronald’s infatuated expression, she mocked, “Pervert. Hurry up and go in. If you’re late, you’ll be scolded again.”
With that, Emily left without Ronald.
Ronald hurriedly followed up, afraid of being scolded.
Humphrey and Rebecca, serving as the host and hostess, welcomed the guests in the expansive and well–lit hotel lobby.
Humphrey had long lived in the shadow of his elder brother and hadn’t felt so proud of himself in a while. That was why he appeared more energized than ever before. Rebecca stood next to Humphrey and wore a welcoming smile as she greeted the guests.
After greeting a few more people, Humphrey checked the time and asked, “It’s almost time. Why

aren’t Dad and my brother here yet? And where are the other family members?”
Rebecca agreed and said, “That’s right. Jasmine loves being in the limelight. She would have arrived long ago at such an activity.
Just as Humphrey and Rebecca were wondering, they suddenly heard congratulatory voices from outside.
“Norman, happy birthday!”
“Mr. Nicholls, happy birthday!”
“Mr. Nicholls, live a long life!”
Hearing these voices, Humphrey and Rebecca knew Norman and the other family members must have arrived.
Therefore, Humphrey hurriedly went up and welcomed Norman, greeting, “Dad, welcome to your banquet!”
He looked at Norman with a smile, waiting for Norman’s praise.
Norman looked around and was quite satisfied with the arrangement. He smiled at Humphrey and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Humphrey was shocked, thinking. ‘He didn’t give me credit for organizing the banquet successfully this year.
‘My dad commended me for my organizational efforts last year.
‘I chose a similar theme and color based on my dad’s preference this year. Why did he only thank my hard work?

Seeing Humphrey was stunned, Rebecca went forward and said, “Dad, it seems it takes longer than before for you to get here. You must be tired. Please take a seat and have a rest.”
Norman nodded calmly and sat down at the chair that Rebecca had prepared for him.
Jasmine looked around and commented sarcastically, “Rebecca, I thought you would hold a wonderful birthday banquet this year. Why does it look so similar to the one last year?”
Rebecca’s expression immediately turned dark when Jasmine belittled her. However, she had no choice but to smile and explain, “Norman said he liked this theme and color very much last year. So, we keep them this year. However, we hire a band to lighten the mood. Jasmine, you’re right. What I did was still not enough. Thank you for your guidance, Jasmine.”
Rebecca attacked by taking a step back. Rebecca’s words made Jasmine look like she was seeking a fight.
Unfortunately, Jasmine did not notice it. She enjoyed Rebecca’s words and said proudly, “Good to know you’re taking my words seriously. You should listen to me.”
Rebecca hit her lip and replied with a smile, “Of course
Damian noticed everyone was staring at Jasmine, so he quickly lowered his voice and warned Jasmine, “Alright, many people are here. Control yourself
Jasmine was a little depressed after she received Damian’s warning. However, she had to fight back her anger since she was in public.
Coincidentally, a noise arose at the entrance,
Many people cried in shock, “Who is that?”
“She’s so beautiful
“Haven’t you heard? Mr. Roger is married.”
“Could it be Mrs. Sophie?”
“She is stunning. Her figure aud appearance are top–notch.”
The crowd gasped in admiration.
People from the Nicholls family could not help but look over.
Sophie entered the hotel, gracefully supporting Roger. The pair, both exceptionally good–looking. effortlessly caught the attention of onlookers.
Norman could not help but smile in satisfaction, murmuring, “Roger is handsome. With Sophie’s standing next to Roger, they are even more eye–catching.”
When Rebecca saw Sophie, she was shocked and gasped.
She thought, I’ve never expected that Sophie would attend the banquet!
“What is even more unexpected is that she can walk so steadily! Also, she dresses up so beautifully!
‘She is so stunning that she can win over every woman present.
Rebecca’s lips uncontrollably twitched when she thought of those. However, she praised insincerely, “Yeah. I didn’t expect Sophie to be so beautiful when she dresses up.”
She murmured inside, ‘I know Sophie looks good, but most of her glory is overshadowed by her paralysis.
“But now, Sophie is no longer a cripple!
‘Her has a delicate face and graceful figure. She looks like a fair lady from a wealthy family when she walks toward us.
‘She instantly becomes the focus of the entire venue!”
Chapter 40
“How did Mr. Roger manage to marry such a beautiful wife?”
“That’s right. I’m so jealous.”
Men were jealous of Roger, while women were envious of Sophic.
Roger rarely made public appearances, discreetly concealing the secret of his eye disease from both the media and the public.
However, almost everyone from the top families knew Roger had been blind for more than ten years after the car accident,
They couldn’t believe someone blind like Roger had married such a beauty.
They felt that Roger was squandering a gift from God.
Roger and Sophie walked to Norman under everyone’s gaze.
“Good evening, Norman.” Sophie smiled and slightly bowed to Norman, indicating that she had led Roger in.
Norman nodded in satisfaction and said, “The two of you look like a perfect couple. I’m so happy today! I must have a few more drinks later!”
Roger and Daisy could feel Norman’s sincere happiness from his big smile.
Jasmine saw that Roger and Sophie had stolen all the limelight from their family. She narrowed her eyes and made a plan. Hastily, she exclaimed, “Norman, there’s something that will make you even happier! Damian and I have prepared a big gift for you!”
