Lena understood immediately. "Hmm, getting Jodie's hair or something like that is very easy. And among the people I'm training, two are Mrs. Newhouse's personal bodyguards. It wouldn't be difficult to get something from them."

Daniel smiled in approval, then picked up Tigger and rubbed its tiny ears.

Tigger whimpered at the same time Maisie walked out of the kitchen with fruits. Seeing Daniel 'torture' Tigger, she slapped his hand lightly.

"Don't rub it so hard. He's still a baby!"

Daniel silently put down Tigger, looking completely helpless.

"What were you two talking about just now?" Maisie smiled, sitting next to Lena.

Lena wasn't good at lying and was hesitating whether to tell the whole truth when Daniel preempted, "We were talking about this year's Arts Gala."

"Hmm?"

"It's an annual event in Cumulus City." He chuckled lightly.

The Arts Gala had always been sponsored and organized by the Quimby Group, and other prominent families from Cumulus City also participated. All of them would be attending by then. Many bigshots from the literary and artistic circles would be present at this gala, not to mention some from the entertainment industry. It was a glamorous and lively event, rightly called a gala. "This time, we can even invite the three Hamerton heirs, which is unprecedented!" Daniel smiled. "So, the scale will be exceptionally grand."

Maisie nodded, recalling the invitation she had seen on Lily's desk a few days ago. "So... Lily's also an invited guest?"

"Yes," Daniel said. "The Reyes family is one of the co-organizers, so she will have to attend."

"Oh..."

Daniel held her hand and said softly, "Come with me."

"Me?" Maisie shook her head in a flurry. "All those high-profile figures will be there. Won't I just embarrass myself?" Daniel smiled. "Then let me take you to the top of this pyramid. You can see who's at the pinnacle. How about that?"

Sometime later, the Arts Gala took place as scheduled. As Daniel had said, it was an unprecedentedly grand event. The banquet was filled with guests, the entire hall splendid and dazzling.

The three Hamerton heirs became the center of attention.

Zuko and his family attracted a lot of attention. Many people who wanted to curry favor with the Hamertons gathered around them, making the little princess, Persephone, sulk. She thought this gala would be fun, with food, drinks, and games, but it turned out to be similar to the banquets she attended in Centrolis, even more boring if anything!

Chris and Lena were relatively low-key. They utilized their advantages as a special forces soldier and sniper-found a perfect hidden spot, got enough food and drinks, and relaxed comfortably there.

Toph, being the social butterfly he was, got along with the bigshots within a short time. He managed to score deals for his studio and flashed his ring on his ring finger whenever girls tried to hit on him. "Sorry, I'm married!"

As the host, Daniel was the target of everyone's attention. He held Maisie's hand throughout, navigating her through the crowd and entertaining guests while also thoughtfully adjusting her shawl and gently holding her waist.

No woman could get close to him. Both physically and emotionally, he was filled with thoughts of one woman.

After chatting with a few guests once again, Maisie moved her ankle slightly, looking a bit tired.

"Not feeling well?" Daniel asked in a low voice.

"No." She smiled. "It's just standing too long in high heels-sore back and legs..."
