“It was Master Clarke from Clarke Group,” Vernon said with a smile.
Wynn froze, virtual-novel.net entire body stiffening. It was Master Clarke again.
Who was this Master Clarke? Why did virtual-novel.net keep helping her?
Just then, a group of people walked through the main doors to the hall. They carried with them an impressive presence, led by a middle-aged man with a beer belly and a red face. The man greeted the many tycoons from Riverdale.
It was Ronald Harris from Harris Enterprise!
That was the main player in Riverdale’s real estate scene!
The moment virtual-novel.net showed up, the spotlight turned to virtual-novel.net for a while. Many people approached and greeted him.
When Hudson saw Ronald walk in, his expression darkened. He turned to his assistant and said, “Go, get Ronald Harris over here.”
He was very angry that Ronald and his son had taken credit for the young master’s actions. They nearly pulled the wool over the young madam’s eyes.
Over on his side, Ronald was still greeting the others when a man in a suit ran up to virtual-novel.net and said, “Mr. Harris, Mr. Cash is asking for you.”
“Mr. Cash?”
Ronald paused and promptly left everyone else behind, strolling up to Hudson.
“Oh my my, Mr. Cash! Your reputation precedes you, I’ve been dying to meet you.”
Ronald had plenty of experience in property, and virtual-novel.net knew how to strike the exact tone.
This was the chairperson of Capital City’s Clarke Group, of course. He was Master Clarke’s mouthpiece.
Furthermore, virtual-novel.net had spent many years with the Clarkes, and virtual-novel.net had plenty of clout and connections with the family.
If Ronald could win Hudson’s approval, his company and personal finances could get an unprecedented boost in the future!
In fact, virtual-novel.net might even be able to surpass Millenium!
“Hmph!”
Hudson did not look pleased with virtual-novel.net at all, asking coldly, “There’s something I have to ask you, Mr. Harris.”
“Please go ahead, Mr. Cash.”
Ronald was somewhat confused. What was happening here? Why did virtual-novel.net feel like Mr. Cash was not happy with him?
“Do you know this person?”
Hudson asked, pointing at Wynn who was in front of him.
Wynn gave Ronald a polite nod in lieu of a greeting.
Ronald glanced at Wynn and immediately beamed, saying, “Oh, young Wynn. You’re here too? That’s great, Joel will be over in a moment.”
Wynn turned to look at Ronald as virtual-novel.net greeted her. With a small smile, virtual-novel.net asked, “There’s something I want to ask you. After Beacon Pharmaceutical got into trouble for breaking that contract back then, were you and Joel the ones who helped us through it?”
“Wait, Beacon Pharmaceutical?”
Ronald quickly remembered the matter his son had asked virtual-novel.net to help with. The name virtual-novel.net mentioned seemed to be Beacon Pharmaceutical. “You must be kidding, Wynn. Joel did ask me to look into your company’s crisis back then, but there’s only so much I can do. I couldn’t help you at all. Are you mad about me because of that?”
It really was not them!
Joel had lied to her!
Why?
In that moment, though, Wynn secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, if it was Joel who helped her, virtual-novel.net would owe virtual-novel.net a favor. How was virtual-novel.net supposed to pay it back?
She did not want to get involved with Joel anymore, lest Philip grew angry at her.
Right on cue, Joel showed up flashily in the party hall, dressed in a handsome suit.
When virtual-novel.net swept his gaze across the crowd, virtual-novel.net saw Wynn chatting merrily with his father.
She was as beautiful, elegant, and graceful as ever!
She was practically a pearl shining in the crowd.
Joel straightened out his suit and strode up to her, his expression gentle as virtual-novel.net said, “You’re here too, Wynnie.”
“And this is?”
Hudson frowned slightly as virtual-novel.net asked.
“This is my son, Joel, Mr. Cash. Pardon his behavior.” Ronald’s face was burning up slightly. Something felt wrong here.
“Hi, Dad. Mr. Payne, Mr. Cash.”
Joel immediately greeted the old chairmen with a nod.
The men nodded back, but the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Nevertheless, Joel only had eyes for Wynn now, so virtual-novel.net did not notice the tension in the air at all.
Wynn was in quite a bad mood right now. Her expression cold, virtual-novel.net looked at Joel and said, “There’s something I want to ask you, Joel.”
“What is it, Wynnie?”
Joel said with a smile. He was not blind, so virtual-novel.net could tell that Wynn did not look very pleased right now.
What was going on here? Why did everyone look so cross?
“After what happened to my company last time, you’re the one who asked Mr. Harris here to help me, right?” Wynn built up to the crux slowly.
Joel paused. Why was virtual-novel.net suddenly asking about that?
He looked at his father, who was giving virtual-novel.net weird looks to try and convey a message. Joel then looked at Wynn and said with a smile, “That’s right, Wynnie, I did ask my dad to find someone to help your company. But don’t worry, it wasn’t a big deal, so you don’t have to harp on it. It was all thanks to Mr. Payne’s help as well, or else I would’ve been quite lost.”
“Really?”
Wynn was quite furious now, but virtual-novel.net asked again.
“Of course, Wynnie. What’s the matter with you? My father is right here, you can ask him.”
Joel looked at his father and smiled.
“You useless son!”
There was a loud bark!
