Mrs. Queen remarked, “All the children raised by the York Family are exceptional.”

Knowing that Kevin was pursuing her daughter and still suspected that Hayden was not a man, Mrs. Queen felt renewed hope.

She already admired Kevin, the young man.

“Darling, how do you think Kevin figured out that Hayden is a woman? She has been pretending to be a man for over 20 years. If she weren’t my daughter, I wouldn’t believe she was a woman; she acts so much like a man.”

Donald asked, “What did Hayden say?”

Mrs. Queen replied, “She said that Kevin seems to intuitively suspect she is not a man.”

Donald smiled and praised Kevin again: “Kevin not only has great eyesight but also possesses sharp intuition. He truly deserves to be a child of the York Family.”

Mrs. Queen responded with a thoughtful silence.

Donald continued, “Sweetheart, let’s not focus on how Kevin saw through Hayden. What’s important is that he’s not gay and is pursuing our daughter. I really like this potential son-in-law.”

Mrs. Queen agreed, “I like him very much too.”

As the mother-in-law regarded her son-in-law, her affection for him grew.

Even though the two had yet to exchange a word, Mrs. Queen had already begun to see Kevin as her son-in-law.

Meanwhile, Hayden was unaware that her parents had already accepted Kevin as such. She sat quietly on the sofa for a while, and when there was a knock at the door, she got up to answer it.

Hugh stood at the door.

“Sister, are you okay?” Hugh asked with concern. “I saw Kevin come downstairs alone, looking very happy with a big smile on his face. I was worried that you might be having a hard time.”

He looked her over carefully, ensuring her clothes were neat and tidy, and that she didn’t appear to have been at a disadvantage, which relieved him.

“What can I endure? I just want to make it clear to Mr. York that I’m a man and cannot accept his advances.”

As Hayden spoke, he exited the room and closed the door to the presidential suite behind him.

“The banquet isn’t over yet; let’s go.”

Hayden remembered attending the dinner tonight; unlike before, she could finally remove her mask and relax once she entered the room.

Hugh followed his sister closely.

Before long, the two returned to the banquet venue.

“Young Master Queen.”

A clear and pleasant voice rang out, prompting Hayden’s bodyguards to immediately surround her and block the approaching woman.

It was none other than Shiloh Farrell.

Shiloh’s outfit was even more extravagant than Kathryn’s, the true daughter of the Farrell family, and her demeanor was well-controlled.

Having grown up in the Farrell household, she was accustomed to being pampered and had received training from the family head since childhood, preparing her to lead the family one day. After 18 years, even the least likely could become formidable.

“Young Master Queen.”

Shiloh glanced at Queen’s bodyguards before her gaze settled on Hayden. With a smile, she said, “Young Master Queen, I simply want to share a couple of drinks with you, and I won’t harm you. Could you ask your bodyguard to let me through?”

While Hayden respected Kathryn, she had no fondness for Shiloh, the impostor of the Farrell family.
