Walter's exact words in the morning were that Sheriff Nelson had asked them to be temporary security guards for a private party.
As a matter of fact, the two of them had received formal invitations and were officially invited as guests.
Now, not only could they hide their identities in uniforms like secret agents in TV shows, they had to wear formal gowns like they did in secret agent movies.
They couldn't even think about searching people at the door or giving them wine inside.
Selina hadn't thought much of the party, but Luke reminded her, "This is our first time attending such a formal private party. I think we can wear the gowns you bought?"
Selina's eyes lit up when she heard that.
She didn't have a particular preference for extravagant banquets, but she was very interested in wearing formal gowns to formal banquets. After all, this was her first time.
The security checked the invitations and let them into the villa. They walked hand in hand, and the scene they saw wasn't unfamiliar to them.
As detectives, it wasn't often that they came to private villas to work cases, but it wasn't like they hadn't.
When they were vigilantes, it was common for them to watch banquets. Today's banquet was a very serious one. At the very least, it wasn't filled with girls looking for their fathers.
There were a lot of young girls at the banquet, but they were all "socialites."
Luke and Selina didn't really think much of these "socialites."
That was because as American society degenerated, young women who were given the title of "socialite" had gone from having high expectations of their own abilities and self-cultivation to having a richer, more famous, and more influential family.
As long as they had the money, power, and fame, they could be called a "socialite" even if their private videos were spread all over the world.
For example, there were two groups of "socialites" not far away. One of them was called Patricia West, and she was one of these "famous" socialites.
And on the other side, Kimmy Carson, who pretended to be nonchalant but was actually showing signs of doing something, had also recently leaked a private photo and became a "famous" socialite of the new generation.
However, the relationship between the new and old socialites wasn't harmonious at the moment. These two "sister groups" were more like two groups of Chihuahuas who were eyeing each other covetously and ready to fight at any moment.
There was no killing intent between the two parties. Luke could only sense the intense disdain and jealousy between the two groups of women through Mental Communication.
Luke and Selina simply hid in a corner and guarded the kitchen. They took some of the drinks and food from the waiters who came out and enjoyed the privilege of being the first dish.
This behavior caused the waiters to look at them in surprise, but the two of them didn't care.
They didn't stand in the center of the banquet and eat in an evil manner. It was their freedom to hide in the corner and enjoy some high-end wine and food.
Well, the waiters were not surprised by the way the two ate, but purely by the amount of food they ate.
They didn't miss a single type of food.
One of the waiters suggested that the two of them could go to the dining table and take whatever they wanted.
Luke, however, flashed his badge and told him in a low voice that the police had temporarily added a food inspection procedure.
After a while, the waiters would take the initiative to pass by them when they delivered the dishes. Their eyes were filled with sympathy. Clearly, they had learned about their "secret mission" from one of the waiters.
This was a cold dinner party, and thirty to fifty dishes were the minimum.
They had to taste so many dishes at least once, and carrying out such a mission was worse than starving.
Luke and Selina didn't feel any pressure.
They had a tacit understanding. He was in charge of the savory dishes, and she was in charge of the sweet ones. Even if there were twice as many dishes, the two of them would only be half full at most.
While Luke and Selina were feasting at the entrance of the banquet hall, a glamorous young beauty walked into the banquet hall, and a lot of people took turns to greet her.
That was the treatment of a bigshot.
The two groups of "socialites" just now didn't receive such treatment. Most of the people who interacted with them were young second-generation heirs.
The people who greeted the young blonde were either first-generation heirs or powerful second-generation heirs. They were all above forty years old.
Selina nudged Luke's waist with her elbow as she ate the fruit cream pudding. "Your dream lover is here."
Luke was holding a French salmon pie. His movements were graceful, but the pie disappeared very quickly.
Hearing that, he looked over and said, "Well, it's not a dream."
Selina: "…"
She wanted to say something, but the confidentiality clause made her keep her mouth shut.
A lot of people might know that Jenny and Luke were related, but they basically belonged to a different circle.
For the sake of their leisure time, it was best to keep their personal relationship with the detective a secret.
However, Selina soon noticed that Jenny glanced at them several times with a smile and a nod of acknowledgment.
The people surrounding her all thought that the new queen of mobile phones was just being polite.
Selina, however, knew that the female CEO was actually flirting with them.
She chuckled and nudged Luke with her elbow again. "Do you think she wants to hit someone right now?"
Luke snorted. "You underestimate her. Her father is a financier and her mother is an industrialist. Dealing with this kind of situation is as enjoyable as eating delicious food for us. "
Selina wasn't convinced. "That's impossible. Being together with a group of people and talking nonsense, how can it compare to the enjoyment of eating delicious food? "
Luke said, "Some billionaires even like to go out in slippers and shorts. You don't like it either, do you?"
Selina said, "If I were on a beach in Los Angeles, I could also enjoy going out in a bikini and slippers."
Luke was lost for words for a moment.
As they chatted, they both knew in their hearts that Jenny could only be here for Luke.
In fact, when Jenny was talking to Captain Nelson, she had casually mentioned that Detective Luke Coulson had once saved her from a gangster's attack.
She didn't say anything else, but Sheriff Nelson already knew what she meant.
If she didn't care about Luke, Jenny wouldn't have mentioned his name at all.
Now that she mentioned his name, Nelson had to take care of Luke, and he had to do it in a very natural and not too straightforward manner.
That was a tacit understanding.
No matter how much she said, it was a silent request.
If she did well, it would prove that Sheriff Nelson was worth something.
If she didn't, it would mean that she was too stupid and would be fired sooner or later.
Sheriff Nelson was also a clever man. He simply used official business as an excuse to let Luke and Selina attend the party as private guests.
He didn't have to pay anything except for two more invitations, which was a classic case of getting something without risking anything.
However, Jenny and Luke's relationship was very different from what the sheriff imagined.
After greeting Jenny, Sheriff Nelson paid special attention to them, but didn't notice anything.
