Katie was well aware of how to be charming in front of her elders. She immediately put on a cute and charming expression, saying, "Mr. Maskelyne, Mrs. Maskelyne, hello. Thank you for coming."
She gazed at the gift from Mrs. Maskelyne, a limited-edition piece of jewelry by X. She felt elated inside, having received two sets today. With a bright smile, she continued, "Thank you for the gifts; I really like them."
Mr. Mcguire had heard that Alondra had gone out to invite guests. He initially thought that Alondra's acquaintances would mostly be colleagues from her hospital or at most some hospital administrators. He never expected that the guests who arrived were none other than Tyrell Maskelyne and his wife.
This brought him some relief, and he welcomed them, saying, "Mr. Maskelyne, Mrs. Maskelyne, it's been a long time."
Tyrell held a black cat in his arms, the cat's eerie green eyes exuding an inexplicable sense of eeriness. Several timid individuals didn't dare to look at him. Instead, they chose to selectively ignore the strange black cat in his arms.
Tyrell replied nonchalantly, "Politeness is not necessary."
Mr. Mcguire smiled and introduced them to everyone. "I assume that many of you might not be familiar with Mr. and Mrs. Maskelyne. They are the founders of the renowned Maskelyne Research Laboratory, one of the most prestigious laboratories internationally. Even my sister, Alondra, takes pride in studying at the Maskelyne Research Laboratory."
Alondra held a unique position in the country's medical field, making influential figures eager to befriend her. Consequently, Alondra invited many guests who were high-profile patients she had successfully treated.
Upon hearing Mr. Mcguire's introduction, the attendees engaged in conversation and exchanged pleasantries with the Maskelyne couple.
"Mr. Maskelyne, your demeanor is truly outstanding. I've heard that the Maskelyne Research Laboratory is researching drugs to treat cancer. I wonder if it's true?" someone in the crowd inquired.
Mrs. Maskelyne replied with a calm demeanor, "Indeed, we are researching drugs in that area. Currently, we are in the experimental phase, and if the results turn out as expected, they should be made available for use in major hospitals."
Upon hearing this, the guests reacted with astonishment, and Alondra's face displayed a hint of radiance. "I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in the joint research. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Maskelyne, for this chance."
"Wow! That's truly impressive!"
"I never expected the Maskelyne Research Laboratory to be so powerful."
"That's right!"
"Alondra, your medical skills are exceptional. If this research succeeds, it will be a significant contribution to humanity!"
The guests who were initially disappointed for not attending the Wright family event found some solace. Building good relations with the owners of these research labs could ensure access to top-grade medications in the future, as long as they were willing to pay. After all, who could say no to money?
Especially those who weren't in the best of health immediately started to discuss the cost of maintaining such a laboratory. Tyrell's countenance darkened, and he responded, "Indeed, we require a substantial capital flow. While we have received some support from Aettosa, the main source of funding is something we must handle ourselves."
"You are truly magnificent, making a significant contribution to the progress of society and the development of humanity, Mr. and Mrs. Maskelyne," someone praised, leading to enthusiastic admiration.
Tyrell and his wife's main purpose for attending was not merely a social gathering but rather to seek investments and financial gains.
Encouraging these wealthy guests to open their wallets was a skill that Mr. and Mrs. Tyrell excelled at. As long as they maintained the right level of prestige, these well-off individuals would willingly contribute.
After a fulfilling dinner, Tyrell discreetly glanced at Mrs. Maskelyne. The couple rose from their seats, and Mr. Mcguire personally escorted them to the door, displaying the utmost respect and reverence.
"Thank you for coming," he said with formality.
"Please, do not trouble yourselves to see us off," Tyrell replied.
As they parted ways, he added, "We look forward to future interactions."
At that moment, the event next door at the Wright family gathering also concluded, and the Wrights were seen bidding farewell to their guests.
Tyrell raised his cold gaze and caught sight of a familiar figure. He observed her with a cold and watchful eye.
Mrs. Maskelyne followed her husband's line of sight and frowned when she recognized the woman. She replied harshly, "Franklin, what are you doing here?"
"Are you suggesting that you can come, but we can't?" Franklin's voice was icy and unapologetic.
Mrs. Maskelyne turned to face a captivating woman whose exquisite profile, coldly sculpted jawline, and exceptional poise commanded attention, even when she was looking down at her phone.
It was Sylvia, once again.
Sylvia!
Mrs. Maskelyne glared at Sylvia, her voice dripping with condescension as she sneered, "I won't associate with your kind."
Her tone reeked of haughty superiority.
This audacity and arrogance made Arian, who was just about to leave, pause in confusion. Someone dared to speak to Sylvia in such a high-handed and arrogant manner?
Blake, already outside the door, saw Arian halt and turned back to investigate the situation.
