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.
Adele’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 Adele, a new guest arrived at the entrance.
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.
Adele 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. Collins, Mr. Becker, Mr. Davis-” the host greeted.
Adele’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 Franklin, Harry, and Levi. But apart from them, there was also Julia.
What made it even more shocking was that Julia was wearing the exact gown Adele had seen at the boutique the day before–the light purple, semi–sheer, exquisite gown worth over three million dollars!
Julia 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.
“Franklin, 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 Franklin’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, Adele 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 Franklin! Three million! Wow!”
“Three million?!”
Adele slowly lowered her gaze.
When she had seen Julia wearing the gown earlier, she had already suspected that it might have been prepared for her by Franklin.
After all, although Julia’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 Franklin, three million was practically nothing.
It was clear that Franklin 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 Franklin had planned to bring Julia to this banquet all along.
Franklin 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 Franklin had brought Julia with him.
Johnny looked at Adele, concerned. “Mag…”
Adele 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 Franklin’s group, and with the thick crowd between them, Franklin and his companions hadn’t noticed Adele at all.
Although Adele 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.
