Chapter 1054: He was certain the person he saw was Nathalie Quinlan!
"Let’s go, let’s head inside." Just outside the banquet hall, Amadeus Yancey, tall with long legs, stopped Sadam Vinson and Alfred Garland, who were walking in front of him, under the clear moon and fresh breeze.
Sadam Vinson was still reeling from the shock of mistaking someone else for another, mumbled an acknowledgment, pressing his temples and followed behind him.
At the entrance, someone was checking the invitation letters.
Amadeus Yancey handed the invitation letter to the staff.
The staff member scanned the barcode on the invitation with an infrared scanner and then let them enter.
The three of them entered the banquet hall, one after another.
The banquet hall was warm and pleasant, filled with the fragrance of flowers and perfume, and the melodious sound of the piano. Quite a few people had already arrived.
As the heir of the Vinson Family, Sadam Vinson regularly attended such events in lieu of his family.
He had grown indifferent to these kinds of dinners long ago.
He had been attending various banquets ever since he could talk, and as he became an adult, such events had become a routine part of his life. He would receive similar invitations every week, though he didn’t necessarily attend all of them.
For example, he wouldn’t attend frivolous charity banquets organized by insignificant families.
And for some without any special significance, he might not show face either.
He generally only attended important occasions.
Otherwise, it would be the occasional request from the group of friends he was close with, asking him to show support at an event, which he might attend if he was free.
But it also depended on how close the relationship was.
For instance, if Govert Griffin invited him, he would definitely show some face.
If Caryn Zachmann had asked in the past, he would have given face as well.
Now... well...
Sadam Vinson recalled Caryn Zachmann’s recent misbehavior, targeting Nathalie Quinlan at every turn, he pursed his lips and stopped thinking any further.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he casually glanced at a girl who was walking over from the side.
The girl was wearing a long-sleeved sweater, sporting a duckbill cap, and with her head bowed, she was engrossed in her phone, looking remarkably like Nathalie Quinlan.
No, it was Nathalie Quinlan, unmistakably!
Sadam Vinson took a deep breath; this time, he couldn’t possibly be mistaken.
If he were wrong again, his 1.5 vision was useless, might as well gouge out his eyes!
But how could Nathalie Quinlan be in the Illegal Zone?
Sadam Vinson’s mind went blank with shock, unable to keep up with the pace.
The fact that Nathalie Quinlan was in the Illegal Zone was odd enough, but it was particularly strange to find her on the top floor of the Golden Pavilion Hotel at a banquet hosted by the IT association.
Inside the banquet hall, not outside!
He had just been discussing with Amadeus that this banquet was a high-profile affair, with the IT association inviting all the celebrities of the field.
And then he bumped into Nathalie Quinlan.
This feeling... Sadam Vinson couldn’t describe it.
It was too thrilling!

Nathalie Quinlan was still sending messages with her head down, not yet noticing the people coming in at the door.
Jackson Wafford had sent her a message a few minutes ago, inquiring in a roundabout way about the identity of @ilovebeingskinny. Nathalie Quinlan didn’t elaborate, simply mentioning that @ilovebeingskinny had some connections with the Red Alliance, and didn’t reveal more.
She had just finished replying to Jackson Wafford’s message.
Right then, as though when speaking of Cao Cao Cao Cao would arrive, a message from @ilovebeingskinny followed closely behind.
But it wasn’t sent through WhatsApp, instead, it came through the Red Alliance’s internal communication software.
[By the way, Boss, there’s an auction event tomorrow, do you want to join?]
Nathalie Quinlan was already extremely impatient for being dragged to some banquet, seeing the message sent to her, she pressed her lips into a thin line and replied.
@ilovebeingskinny quickly responded.
[Just an auction. It’s high-profile. There will be items not available on the open market, I’m just asking if you’re interested in going.]
