「The Vance Family Banquet.」
At eight o'clock in the evening, Archie Lockwood and Shirley Lockwood arrived at the Vance residence right on time.
The moment they stepped out of the car, Shannon Vance hurried over, her face alight with joy. "Archie, you're here!"
"Hello, Miss Shannon!" Seeing Shannon Vance, Shirley Lockwood quickly darted past Archie Lockwood, greeting her with a sweet smile.
Shannon Vance looked at Shirley Lockwood and smiled gently. "Rory, you're here too."
Shirley Lockwood winked playfully. "Of course! I had to come. Miss Shannon, you'd better remember your promise, okay?"
