The Game Character I Raised Was a Powerful Dynasty Heir Chapter 09

The Game Character I Raised Was a Powerful Dynasty Heir Chapter 09

Over the weekend, I received a text message. 

[Saturday at 8 p.m., The Paramount Club. We look forward to seeing you there. – William Shaw] 

I stared at the text message for a long time, 

hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go. 

take a look. 

I was just sitting around anyway, so I might as well 

go out and see the world. 

The dinner was held at the most exclusive private 

club in New York, attended by the city’s elite. 

As soon as I walked in, I felt a lot of eyes on me- 

some curious, some scrutinizing, and some 

hostile. 

Whispers could be heard coming from all 

directions. 

“Isn’t that the Lynn family’s real heiress? Wasn’t 

she kicked out? How dare she show her face at an 

event like this?” 

“I heard her engagement was called off; now she’s 

just a down–and–out laughingstock.” 

“I wonder whose coattails she’s riding…” 

I turned a deaf ear to it and made my way through the crowd with a glass of champagne in my hand. 

As I was walking, a tall figure appeared in front of 

1. me. 

It was William. 

Tonight he was wearing a black suit, which made him look even more refined and aloof. He stood naturally by my side, shielding me from those 

hostile stares. 

“Are you nervous?” he asked in a low voice. 

I shook my head. “What’s there to be nervous about? Anyway, what those people think doesn’t really affect me.” 

William looked at my nonchalant expression, and 

a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes. 

Halfway through the banquet, a shrill voice 

suddenly rang out. 

“Hey, isn’t that Nina?” 

I turned my head and saw Chloe walking toward 

me in her high heels. 

She had somehow managed to slip in; her face bore her usual fake smile, but her eyes were filled 

with malice. 

“I never expected my sister to be capable of 

hooking up with Mr. Shaw–I really have to take my 

hat off to her.” 

I couldn’t be bothered with her, so I turned and 

walked away with my glass in hand. 

Chloe, however, wouldn’t let it go and followed. after me, deliberately raising her voice. “My sister 

was kicked out of the house, and now she has to 

get by by sucking up to men. How pitiful!” 

People around us turned to look and began whispering. 

I stopped in my tracks, just as I was about to 

speak up in protest, William had already walked. 

over to me and stood in front of me. 

He stared at Chloe with a blank expression, his 

voice as cold as if it had drifted out of an ice 

cellar. “Miss Lynn, did you come to the wrong place?” 

Chloe’s expression changed. “Mr. Shaw, I…” 

“You don’t just get an invitation here.” William. interrupted her, his tone flat yet carrying an air of 

unquestionable authority. “I don’t want anyone to 

ruin the mood tonight.” 

Chloe turned pale; she wanted to say something but was silenced by his imposing presence, and in 

the end, she could only turn and walk away in 

embarrassment. 

On the way home, it was very quiet in the car. 

William suddenly spoke up. “Your character in that 

game.” 

I paused for a moment and turned to look at him. 

“Do you really like him?” he asked. 

“How did you know what game I was playing?” I 

instinctively asked in return. 

William didn’t answer, he just looked at me, 

waiting for my response. 

I paused for a moment, then nodded. “I really like. him,” I whispered. “He’s been by my side for a long 

time. He’s the most important person in my life.” 

Upon hearing this, William fell silent for a long 

time. 

The streetlights outside the car window flashed by one after another, casting flickering shadows. 

across his face. 

I couldn’t make out his expression, but I sensed 

that his eyes held something very deep and 

complex.
