Many professional teams had tried to deconstruct and analyze it, but none had been able to crack it. Now, this programming language had become a legendary and almost untouchable entity in the field.
When they arrived, most of the guests had already gathered in the banquet hall.
Freya’s beauty and elegance caught everyone’s attention as soon as she entered.
The host of the banquet, who was familiar with Johnny, greeted them warmly. Just as he was about to speak to Johnny and Freya, a new guest arrived at the entrance.
A
When he saw who it was, the host froze, thinking he had mistaken someone. The other guests around the hall shared similar reactions, all surprised to see the newcomers.
Freya and Johnny were facing away from the entrance and couldn’t see what was going on. But when they saw the other guests suddenly show expressions of shock and excitement, they both turned to look.
After giving them a quick apologetic glance, the host walked past them and headed toward the
entrance.
“Mr. Wilson, Mr. Becker, Mr. Davis-” the host greeted.
Freya’s heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling and quickly turned around.
When she saw who had arrived, her smile froze for a moment.
Indeed, the guests were Matteo, Harry, and Levi. But apart from them, there was also Raven.
What made it even more shocking was that Raven was wearing the exact gown Freya had seen at the boutique the day before–the light purple, semi–sheer, exquisite gown worth over three million dollars!
Raven was tall and curvaceous. Combined with her powerful presence, the gown looked even more spectacular on her–luxurious and ethereal, it made her appear both alluring and untouchable.
“Matteo, Harry, and Levi! Aren’t they rarely seen at banquets? Why are they all here today?” someone whispered in surprise.

“Exactly! What’s going on?”
“Who’s the beautiful woman they brought along? Is she Matteo’s woman? She’s so stunning and has such an incredible aura.
She looks so unapproachable, like she’s on another level. If I could have a woman like that, I’d be happy to lose ten years off my life!”
“But I like the one in the beige gown more. Her aura is pure, calm, and gentle. She’s quietly beautiful. I feel like women with her kind of elegance are rarer. Too bad she’s with someone, though. Sigh.”
At that moment, Freya overheard a voice exclaiming, “Oh my God, that gown! I saw it yesterday and
was stunned!
The store owner said it was custom–made for a big shot’s girlfriend, and I’ve been wondering who
the big shot was. Turns out it’s Matteo! Three million! Wow!”
“Three million?!”
Freya slowly lowered her gaze.
When she had seen Raven wearing the gown earlier, she had already suspected that it might have
been prepared for her by Matteo.
After all, although Raven’s Brown family business was thriving, spending millions on a gown for a banquet was not something they could afford at the moment. But for Matteo, three million was
practically nothing.
It was clear that Matteo had put a lot of thought and care into this.
And since the gown had been custom–made a half–month in advance, it seemed that Matteo had
planned to bring Raven to this banquet all along.
Matteo rarely accepted invitations to attend banquets, and Johnny knew this well. He hadn’t expected it to work out this way.
What surprised him even more was that Matteo had brought Raven with him.
Johnny looked at Freya, concerned. “Mag…”
Freya smiled faintly and shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Though she had been shocked at first, she no longer cared.
Many people had gathered around Matteo’s group, and with the thick crowd between them, Matteo and his companions hadn’t noticed Freya at all.
Although Freya appeared gentle and composed on the surface, Johnny knew her well.
He knew that beneath that calm exterior was a woman of determination–someone who was capable of taking risks and going after what she wanted.
When it came to her profession, as long as she had an idea and interest, she would put everything she had into it, even if the result didn’t have immediate market value.
