Chapter 68
Thomas and the others spotted Madeline.
He looked slightly gloomy, but he still went to meet her, “Thank you for coming to my daughter’s enrollment celebration banquet. Glorious Group is truly magnanimous. I man humbled.
Madeline raised her eyebrows. “No, I just happen to be here, so I’m only dropping by
a little embarrassed. “Oh, well… That’s great, too. Please, sit down.”
Thomas was a
“It’s all right. I’m just going to
a lake
a brief look around,” Madeline said.
Madeline waved her hand and added, “I have to go to the seventh floor late
later.
Regina was also here.
“What’s going on?” She pulled Benjamin’s arm and asked, “Why are there 200 to 300 tables here?”
Benjamin was confused. “I don’t know, either. I thought there wouldn’t be many people coming to the Larson family’s enrollment celebration banquet. But I didn’t expect so many people to come. Moreover, they are all prominent people.”
Benjamin frowned and was confused as he said, “Maybe I guessed wrong. It seems that you can’t underestimate anyone.”
“It’s not underestimation. The problem is today-” Regina stopped talking.
Today was the enrollment celebration banquet for the CEO of Glorious Group.
“How could these people not participate in Ms. Houghton’s enrollment celebration banquet? How could all these prominent people attend the enrollment celebration banquet of the Larson family’s fake heiress instead? Regina wondered
It was impossible for these people to choose to offend the Glorious Group and Caleb in order to please the Larson family instead.
Benjamin looked at Madeline and found another excellent man standing next to her.
He couldn’t help but feel a sting in his eyes, which forced him to look away. “She’s not Madeline anyway
By then, it was already three o’clock.
Everyone who saw Madeline had to go over and say hello.
“Welcome to our enrollment celebration banquet. It’s a great pleasure to be here with you,” the emcee announced onstage.
Everyone paused and sat down again.
It was more appropriate for them to go toast again after the ceremony.
The emcee gave some opening remarks before announcing, “Now, let’s publish the gift lis
list first.”
He smiled and said, “Tr’s quite generous, Judging by what I’m seeing here, even I think that my imagination is too poor.”
Everyone looked at the emcee.
They were afraid that their gifts would be embarrassing.
The emcee stood on the stage with a gift list in his hand.
1Bearing this, Winslet was slightly surprised and then turned happy.
It seemed that the gifts for her were very good. Otherwise, the emere wouldn’t have said so.
Thomas patted Winslet on her shoulder and said, “Winnie, everyone here values you so much. You should also study hard to live up to everyone’s Expectations”
Winslet nodded solemnly. “Yes, Daddy”
Layla and the others also come upstairs.
Joel crossed his arms around his chest and leaned slightly against the elevator, looking at the stage.
Chapter 68
His face was full of relief
Harley walked to Winslet and whispered a few words, making Winslet laugh more happily.
Lucas didn’t show up.
Jacob looked worried.
Henry sat in a remote seat and looked at Madeline.
Madeline stood in the light, looking dazzling.
He was sure that it was his sister Madeline at first sight, but he didn’t dare to get close. He felt ashamed of himself.
The emcee announced, “Mr. Ross from Ross Beauty has sent a set of high–end pearl jewelry. Mr. Sollace of the Sollace Group has gifted a diamond studded ornament. Mr. Kirby from Kirby Hotel’s gift is a high–graded vicuna fabric!”
The emcee continued after a brief pause. “Mr. Powell, from the city council, has gifted paintings from past imperial dynasties. These are antiques collected by famous artists! Ms. Hayes from Zaidham Pharmaceutical has gifted top–tier truffles! The certificate is complete. It was the auction item of Zaidham Pharmaceutical Company worth ten million dollars last quarter! Meanwhile, the chairman of the chamber of commerce, Mr. Lowe, has gifted a piece of land of 5,300 square feet!”
སྒྲ་རྡོ་ཚ
After the emcee finished speaking, his tongue was a little knotted as he thought, These people are truly wealthy to be so generous with their gifts!”
He took a deep breath and left after he was done with his announcements.
He could brag about this event for a year or two with his friends.
Even by the most conservative estimation, he
e reckoned the gift list alone could be well worth over 20 million dollars.
Winslet was dumbfounded and wide–eyed.
She wanted to applaud, but she didn’t have any strength. She felt like standing on the clouds.
It felt like she had hit the jackpot out of nowhere!
Windler’s heart beat fast, and she murmured to herself, “Am I dreaming?”
She hadn’t expected to receive so many gifts.
After all, the Larson family could only earn 2 million dollars a year.
Joel was also surprised. “It’s too generous.”
Harley was perplexed. Their friendship with the Larson family is weak. Why would they spend so much on a mere enrollment celebration banquet?”
Jacob sighed. I’ve already felt that something’s not adding up.”
He turned to Thomas and said, “Dad, it’s really not right that the gift is over tens of millions.”
Hearing Jacob’s words, Thomas looked around and said. “Could it be they’ve all sent the wrong gifts? That’s really unlikely
He couldn’t help but wonder if the Larson family from the capital had done something to support them.
If it were the Larson family in the capital, they would have such a reputation here.
Layla replied, “Well, just take the gifts, then. What’s so difficult about that?”
She took the gift list and looked at it with a smile.
She could wear clothes–made from vicuna fabric and precious jewelry every day.
There were also 5.300 square feet of land, which was very valuable. They could build a manor there and plant flowers
Layla was so happy just thinking about it.
Layla was already thinking about how to deal with these gifts.
“Winnie, you’re making a fortune today” Layla was so excited that she wanted to take the gifts back home and open then one by one.
Chapter 68
Winslet tried his best to control her smile and didn’t want to look too happy
“Mom, this is all because you’re well–connected.”
Layla said. “Of course.”
The elevator door opened again with a ping.
Everyone was too busy to notice that the temperature dropped a lot in an instant.
Caleb walked out with a dark face and a steady pace.
He looked extremely cold.
It was hard to miss the hint of anger in his deep–set eyes.
