Chapter 348 You’re Interesting
Edward’s fingers moved slightly as he enlarged a surveillance screen. He clearly saw Eric standing beside Saltoban. Across from them, a group of distinguished–looking individuals appeared to be discussing some form of cooperation.
Eric remained silent throughout, standing there with an indifferent expression. Meanwhile, the eyes of those on the other side kept glancing at Eric.
They were assessing him like a merchandiser.
“Everything is under control.”
Edward quickly responded to Kate, his voice growing more serious, saying, “Kate, you must be careful. This banquet is filled with all sorts of people, including members of the Wolfshade. Don’t stray from our line of sight.”
Kate acknowledged him with a grunt.
She hadn’t wandered off. George and several bodyguards were discreetly following her. Linus had mingled with the crowd, chatting with various individuals to gather more information.
After all, they were in Sagrado. They were on Saltoban’s turf and needed to act cautiously.
Kate exhaled softly, her inner anxiety easing slightly.
As she contemplated her next move and how to approach Eric, a shadow suddenly fell over her.
Looking up, she saw a young man with blonde hair and blue eyes sitting opposite her, dressed in a white suit. He had handsome, classic foreign features. That man was looking at her with great interest. He smiled and extended his hand, asking, “You must be Ms. Viola?”
There was a hint of coldness in Kate’s eyes. She glanced at the young man’s hand without
betraying any emotion and reached out to shake it. She answered, “Yes.”
The young man smiled again and began to introduce himself, “My name is Johann Estrada. I’m at local from Sagrado.”
When he smiled, his eyes curled slightly, exuding an inexplicable charm.
However, this charm was ineffective for Kate.
She was uninterested in any man other than Eric.
Because of Kate’s lack of enthusiasm, Johann’s eyes have slightly darkened. He continued to say with a smile, “I’ve heard that Ms. Viola started from scratch. I admire girls like you who can buy a villa and achieve such social status with their own abilities.
“You’re quite interesting.”

“Just lucky.”
Kate replied nonchalantly, her expression calm and unaffected.
Interesting.
Johann’s gaze deepened, and he deliberately struck up a conversation, subtly probing for more about her and trying to dig deeper into her identity.
Kate remained composed. She had anticipated such probing and had all her identity details prepared. No matter how much they investigated, they would only find that Viola was a lone wolf who had made some money through overseas investments and bought a top–tier villa upon returning home.
Essentially, she was just a well–off civilian.
After a while, since he had discovered nothing unusual, Johann smiled warmly at Kate. He said. softly, “Ms. Viola, you know, money can buy a top–tier villa in Sagrado and get you into this party. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
The look in Johann’s eyes became meaningful as he continued, “However, the Sagrado’s elite will still exclude you.
“Because you’re not on their level, and they look down on you.”
Kate’s brow furrowed, her expression turning slightly cold. She said, “Mr. Johann, that’s none of your concern.
