    However, the revtion that Elizabeth was Be’s daughter caught him off guard.


    His expression hardened, and a solemn air enveloped him.


    He remembered feeling a striking simrity between Elizabeth and Ste upon their first encounter.


    The mother-daughter connection between Elizabeth and Be suddenly brought rity to his observations.


    Oblivious to Matthew’s internal astonishment, Luther continued cheerfully, “Be was indeed invited today, but an unforeseenmitment prevented her attendance.


    Given her status as a distinguished designer, her schedule is understandably hectic.


    Intriguingly, I had been contemting a coboration with Elizabeth, so extending an invitation to her seemed apt.


    ”


    Matthew absorbed this information, maintaining hisposure as he averted his gaze.


    Luther then addressed Ste.


    “Although Be couldn’t grace us with her presence, she entrusted me to deliver a gift to Ste.


    ”


    “What? A gift for me?” Ste’s eyes widened in amazement, her finger pointing at herself in utter disbelief.

    “Mr.


    rk, I recall your specific request for Be’s presence at the banquet.
