Here is the fully revised and polished English version, carefully adjusted to match the original Chinese text in emotion, plot, and cultural detail, and crafted for an American audience:

Evelyn’s eyes darted nervously. “Is… is that really appropriate?”

“It’s only the truth—what could be inappropriate about that?” Mrs. Winters was uncharacteristically animated. “Once it’s public, even if Eugene wants to deny it, he won’t be able to!”

Evelyn rapidly considered how feasible this plan was, but worried about the news leaking out. She hesitated. “But I really don’t want my grandfather to find out, at least not right now.”

Mrs. Winters coaxed her, “Don’t worry. Apart from our own employees, all the other guests at the celebration will be business people. There’s no way word will get back to Old Mr. Quintin.”

Evelyn emphasized, “When you introduce me, don’t mention I’m part of the Quintin family. If word ever gets back to my grandfather, everything will be ruined!”

Mrs. Winters agreed immediately. “Of course. We’ll keep your identity a secret for now. If anyone asks, I won’t breathe a word.”

Evelyn thought it over, then finally nodded. “All right. We’ll do as you say.”

Mrs. Winters spoke with excitement. “Thank you, Evelyn. I’m sorry you have to put up with all this for now, but once you marry into our family, I promise Eugene will more than make it up to you.”

Evelyn smiled. “I like you, and I like Mr. Winters. All this is nothing to me.”

“That’s exactly why I’m so fond of you. You’re so gracious and understanding. Eugene marrying you is a blessing from generations of good fortune; it’s also the Winters family’s great luck.”

Touched by Mrs. Winters’s words, Evelyn found herself daydreaming about her future as lady of the Winters household. She replied with a few humble and reserved words before finally hanging up.

The Winters family company had a long-standing partnership with HEGNAN, with annual contracts in place. Naturally, this meant HEGNAN was also handling the organization of the Winters family’s fiftieth-anniversary celebration.

Milanda had prepared the proposal herself, with Sylvia checking over some final details. When the plan was handed to Eugene, he was very pleased, and personally called Sylvia to invite her to the event in person.

“You’re not coming as a partner company—you’re my honored guest. Many long-term clients will be there, and several are friends of yours, so you absolutely have to come.”

Whether as an invited guest or as HEGNAN’s boss, Sylvia really had every reason to attend. But thinking of how Gabriel might feel, she hesitated for a moment.
