chapter561

Lincoln wasn't bad, but compared to Connor, he didn't even come close. Honestly, even if Connor wasn't in the picture, Lincoln would only ever be Lydia's sidekick. Lydia was way out of his league.

Lincoln thought Juna was just messing with him. He flashed her a cocky grin. "So, if Miss Norwood's fianc is that impressive, who is he? Someone I should know?"

Juna nodded. Oh, you definitely know him. He just probably doesn't know you. Lincoln's grin slipped a little. "Come on, Miss Davis, just tell me already."

Juna rolled her eyes. "Not happening."

He tried to change tactics. Fine, at least tell me what family Miss Norwood is from."

Lincoln was still holding out hope that he could get Lydia's number. He was totally into her type, like she was some rare collectible.

Juna was about done with his persistence. She laughed and introduced Lydia without any drama or hesitation. This is Miss L, the founder of LYLX. She's also ranked third on the Sunrise Foundation's contributor list."

Lincoln's playful look froze right away. His eyes went wide as he stared at Lydia, who looked every bit the ice queen. Miss L? This girl, who seemed about his age, was actually the legendary Miss L people always talked about? Was that even possible?

For a second, Lincoln was sure Juna had to be joking. They knew each other well enough to mess around, after all.

Juna saw the shock on his face and burst out laughing. "What, you don't believe me?"

Lincoln still looked stunned. "She's really... Miss L?" His voice was a little too loud, and people nearby started looking over.

Juna nodded. Of course. Didn't you watch the Paris Fashion Competition recently? She was on the judges' panel."

Honestly, unless you were in the industry, who even kept up with those international competitions? Lincoln definitely hadn't. But after hearing Juna, he immediately pulled out his phone and started searchingt onfine. If she was telling the truth,

he'd find it for sure.

It didn't take long. Suddenly, Lincoln swore out loud, eyes glued to his screen. "Oh my god!"

He glanced down at his phone, then back at Lydia's calm, indifferent face. He kept looking back and forth, so stunned he nearly dropped to his knees.

"Miss L! It's an honor, really!" Lincoln quickly dropped the cocky act, straightened up, and up,

to Lydia hand cut like a total fanboy.

Lydia didn't even spare him a glance.

Everyone around was floored. Miss L? No way. That girl was actually the famous Miss L?

Word spread through the gala in seconds. News of Miss L's presence was everywhere.

Meanwhile, Jenson and Milana were leading Sandy around, trying to introduce her to all the big names, hoping she'd make some powerful connections. The Lane family had already offended the Davis family, so marrying Sandy into that family was a last cause. It would l be smarter to aim higher, maybe find someone with real influence.

Suddenly, someone nearby gasped. "Miss L from LYLX is here?"

"Yeah, let's go see what she looks like in real life."

LYLX was the hottest brand around, and most of the women at tonight's charity gala

were wearing custom gowns designed by Miss L herself.

Milana's eyes lit up. "Honey, did you hear that? Miss L is actually here!"
