"You seem very well-informed, Mr. Franklin." I replied without answering the question directly.
I didn't want to delve into this topic here.
"Haha..." Franklin smiled calmly. "After all, these are all provincial matters, and one tends to hear about them sooner or later!"
I smiled faintly and didn't continue the conversation.
Just then, Arthur walked over with a gentleman by his side. He introduced him to me. "Let me introduce you to a gentleman, Mrs. Atlas. This is the most reputable young talent among the four major families in Foswood, Mr. Lance!"
I was secretly surprised when I heard Arthur's introduction.
Lance?
The eldest son of the Sunny family, Melvern’s brother?
I immediately looked over. The man in front of me did resemble Melvern, but he appeared to be more stable and humble, with a modest demeanor. However, he seemed older than Melvern.
He reached out his hand to me. "It’s nice to meet you! I’m familiar with Mr. Atlas."
I shook hands with him politely. "Nice to meet you too!"
His gaze was calm, quite different from his brother's. The man before me seemed gentle and modest, a true gentleman. His eyes were more restrained compared to Melvern's.
That must be why he had a good reputation. I had always heard that the eldest son of the Sunny family was a very upright person.
After Arthur finished introducing us, he chatted with us for a while before going to entertain some other guests. He seemed very busy and joyful today, which made me think that something big was going on.
"I hear you’re in the construction development business, Mrs. Atlas?" Lance asked politely.
"That’s right, Mr. Lance." I looked at him and replied with a smile.
But I thought to myself, hadn’t the Sunny family business moved overseas? Why was Lance back in Foswood?
It seemed that Arthur had something big planned for today.
"You and Mr. Atlas are a perfect match," he said with a smile. "Mr. Atlas is a business genius. We've known each other for a long time."
"You're too kind," I replied with a smile. "Have you really known each other for a long time?"

This story would be interesting if there weren't so many garbled paragraphs. Half sentences and missed paragraphs. It's too much, give us a proper story. I'm done reading...
