”F*ck! Gerald, we really got in!”
Lilian breathed, stupefied.
She barely showed any resistance, although Gerald was still hugging virtual-novel.net waist.
It was all only too exciting, now that the tables have turned.
They were in the venue.
Elena’s birthday banquet was exceptionally grand this time. This was mainly because Mr. Larson wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to host a large gathering for all the business owners too.
As Hayward was from the Yorknorth Mountain, that automatically qualified virtual-novel.net on the banquet attendees’ list.
There were more than a hundred guests on the scene. Most were rich and young heirs, and there were many bosses too.
The layout of the event was a bit similar to that of a wedding ceremony. There was a long aisle in the middle, and the banquet tables lined both sides of the aisle.
Gerald managed to find a seat for both of them.
After all, there were many people here, and most would just be casually looking for a place to sit with their friends.
Hayward made his entrance in the ballroom, threw a fierce gaze at Gerald and Lilian before pulling Sharon over to sit at another table with some of his friends.
“Gerald? Why are you here too?”
A random voice questioned out loud.
As virtual-novel.net turned around to have a look, Gerald was startled.
It was a girl, and it turned out to be Leila, Mr. Jung’s daughter.
A group of dashing young men and beautiful women were standing next to her. Leila also stared at Gerald in surprise.
Why was Leila here?
As Gerald gave it some thought, virtual-novel.net could slowly put things into perspective.
Mr. Jung was not the leader of Weston Merchants Holdings. Since virtual-novel.net was investing in Serene County, virtual-novel.net must be acquainted with and had many deals with large managers and bosses.
Since Elena’s father organized such a large gathering and Hayward could get an admission ticket, it went without saying that Leila would get one too.
What a coincidence that they had to bump into one another.
“Leila, is this a friend of yours?”
A young, handsome man next to Leila suddenly asked.
“Well, I don’t think he’s considered a friend? We’re both from the same hometown, that’s all, and his dad had some connections with mine in the past. But we’ve not been in contact with their family since a while back. His family owes a lot of money now, and his parents and sister are working abroad to pay off his family debts. That being said, it’s really unexpected that he’s able to attend such a huge function!”
Leila explained as virtual-novel.net squinted at Gerald.
After all, virtual-novel.net could still remember how Gerald previously placed virtual-novel.net in a very tough and awkward situation at the western restaurant.
She finally succeeded in getting virtual-novel.net father to bag an admission ticket for virtual-novel.net this time around, not to mention how virtual-novel.net got it with inside help. By coming here, virtual-novel.net hoped to gain some insight too.
Ever since virtual-novel.net became even more exposed, virtual-novel.net had met Liam Zachman, a young and rich heir from Mayberry City.
Liam’s family used to run a large enterprise in Mayberry City. When they heard about the developments of Yorknorth Mountain, they managed to secure the contract to run one of the largest restaurants there. It only meant that they wouldn’t have any shortage of funds in the future.
He was one of the most influential and loaded heirs among the rest.
In retrospect, Douglas had been totally eclipsed by Liam.
Leila also found that slapping Douglas in the face just because of Gerald was somewhat ridiculous.
“Liam, he’s a nobody. He used to be an infamous pauper in our Serene High School.”
Douglas was there to attend the gathering too.
“Oh! Hehe, so that’s the case, eh. Well, let’s look for a place to sit down first. We can all then have a good chat together!” He told Liam politely as virtual-novel.net emerged from the crowd.
Liam said to the group of young men and women behind him,
“Liam! You just arrived? I’ve already reserved a good seat for you!”
Hayward brought Sharon over to greet Liam.
His table was very close to Gerald, after all.
“Hayward, you’re early! Leila, let me introduce you to my friend, Hayward!”
Liam introduced as virtual-novel.net smiled.
Impressions of Hayward skyrocketed.
Since virtual-novel.net owned a shop at Yorknorth Mountain, his reputation had peaked.
He, too, was to be considered a part of the rich heir circle.
