Lily shakes her head, "We're not sure whether Macit is on the side of Jonathan. If not, Jonathan will pester you once he knows that. Watch over Jonathan, and I'll take care of Macit."
"I don't want you to be so tired." John feels sorry for her.
"I'm fine. I don't want to mess up at this critical moment." Lily smiles at him, who has been lost in her charm.
With such a smart beauty by his side, what else will he want?
At eight o'clock, the car arrives at the Atlantis Hotel.
Atlantis is one of the few eight-star hotels in the world. It is luxurious. Famous cocktail lounges, auctions, and even royal birthday parties are held here.
Lily once stayed in a seven-star hotel for business, and this is her first time to go to an eight-star hotel. When getting off the car, she is completely shocked by this luxurious hotel.
Following John to take the elevator upstairs, Lily approaches him and whispers, "I heard that this Party would be very high-class. Ninety percent of big shots and celebrities are here. Is that true?"
John nods in approval and explains, "At the beginning, it was an entertainment party planned by the royal family. Unexpectedly, some foreign businessmen wanted to achieve instant fame for their own business. Politicians also wanted to expand their connections. Only sitting there, the royal family can make money and bring in foreign investment, therefore, this party is held once a year. More and more people come, and this party expands year by year."
"How business-minded the royal family is! If I spend one million to participate in the party, even if I don't make a deal here, I will still benefit from the business cards I get here," Lily says.
"When I have time, I'll call them. All businessmen are interested in high-profit businesses, right? Even no business deal is made, I can expand my connections with their help."
"You're right." John smiles and nods, "I would like to leave my business to you for your business talents."
Lily shakes her hands to refuse, while muttering, "You're kidding! It is a small talk, moreover, theories and practical application are far away from each other. Don't think too highly of me."
"It's not that I think highly of you, but the fact is that you are smart and learn things quickly," John says honestly, "If the administration of a few companies can help you grow, even if they are in debt at last, I think it's worthwhile."
"Here we are." As soon as the elevator door opens, Lily takes the lead and walks out, "Let's talk about this later."
Noticing her rough diversion, John loses some sparkles in his eyes.
From that night on, it takes him one full month to accept his own lot, but he still can't admit that he and Louis are half-brothers, who have the same mother.
He will not admit his relationship with Louis, nor will he let Lily leave one day.
She treats him well, but he is clear that he is still not an equal to Louis.
She once took over the Smith Group to help Louis, but now refuses everything he gives her.
Sensing that John lags behind, Lily turns to look at him and asks, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." John conceals his emotions very well. He looks at her warmly and gently as he strides out of the elevator and towards Lily.
After the verification of their identities, both of them enter the banquet hall.
The banquet hall is so luxurious and gigantic that it is almost impossible to see its ends. Elegant jazz music flows out from the central broadcaster, and the dignitaries in the banquet hall are dressed in luxurious clothes, as if they were attending a grand banquet at the palace.
Lily walks by John calmly, but her eyes can't help wandering around.
There are politicians who occasionally appear on the news, as well as businessmen with hundreds of billions of dollars in wealth, a group of two or three holding wine glasses, standing, chatting and laughing.
Suddenly, a slender figure barges into her sight.
The man is dressed in a tailored black tuxedo. With the well-groomed black hair, his sharp facial features are prominent, and his scarlet lips curl into a faint smile.
He holds a glass of wine between his fingers and is talking to a person opposite him.
He is tall and slender. Such an outstanding figure makes friends in front of him and people around him fade.
Lily's eyes are wide-open, her breath is short, and her heart almost stops beating.
