The styling team worked quickly and efficiently, with a great sense of fashion. The dress that Franklin chose was not only expensive but also very elegant. After about an hour, the styling team finished and left.
Time passed slowly until it was time for the banquet to begin. Franklin and Sylvia got into their car together, which drove smoothly towards the location of the evening banquet.
At seven o'clock in the evening, guests gathered at the Presidential Palace Banquet Hall. Many important politicians were present, mingling with each other while crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead. Waiters dressed in uniform moved back and forth serving guests.
Behind the Presidential Palace Banquet Hall were several corridors and a pond before reaching where the President resided - a separate three-story villa decorated luxuriously.
Deborah herself helped the President tie his tie while saying softly with a smile on her face, "Isabelle should come back for this occasion as well since she is still considered part of our family even though she married into the Bentley family. I wonder if the Bentleys will bring her here tonight."
Upon hearing Deborah's words, the President became annoyed at his daughter.
Thinking of his idiot son-in-law, he said, "What's the point of having her come back? She is just an abandoned woman whose husband is in jail now without any ability to keep her mother-in-law happy or even give birth to a son after so many years of marriage! If she could have given me a grandson, then maybe I would look at her differently."
"Don't be angry," Deborah said insincerely while secretly feeling pleased inside. "It's not Isabelle's fault that she can't conceive... it's fate."
The President became even more agitated when he thought about how useless Isabelle had become after marrying into the Bentley family; he had hoped they would help him gain more power but instead Isabelle's husband went into jail.
Fortunately, Harold from the Gamble family proved himself reliable enough.
"By the way, Waylon has been busy all day outside. He never slackens in carrying out the tasks you assign to him. I wonder if he knows that we are having a banquet tonight. If he comes back..." Deborah carefully observed the President's expression.
"Let him back and greet the guests at the banquet hall. Boys will become the backbone of the future." The President's expression softened after mentioning his stepson.
'Although my daughter is useless, fortunately this stepson, who was brought by Deborah, behaves very well and obediently. He doesn't act out and has won my heart.'
The President was willing to support his stepson, although they were not related by blood. If trained properly, perhaps his stepson could handle some bigger responsibilities.
