My Wasted Husband Is in Power, Now! novel Chapter 16

After hearing Benedict and Syvie's words, the guests who were all tensed up and nervous, significantly relaxed.

Indeed, wealthy scions were all spoiled rotten from a young age and enjoyed all kinds of privileges. They could not stand being mistreated at all, so how could a scion be willing to become a live-in son-in-law for three years?

Everyone felt that the removal of Ryan as the general agent had nothing to do with Jordan.

Maybe it was just a coincidence that Jordan happened to be making the call and pretending to be authoritative, or maybe Jordan had learned the news before the call.

However, no matter what, Ryan's career was on the verge of destruction, and that was a fact set in stone.

Old Mrs. Camden winked at Herman, who immediately understood, grabbed the red wine that Ryan had just given them, and then walked over.

"Ryan, take this bottle of wine back. My mother has had a change of preferences lately, and she doesn't like drinking red wine anymore."

After finding out that Ryan had been removed as a general agent, Herman changed the way he addressed Ryan.

He was addressing him as 'Mr. Dunn'just now, but now, he was calling him by name!

He even returned Ryan's gift!

He clearly didn't want to have anything to do with Ryan!

Ryan frantically said, "Mr. Camden, keep the wine for yourself. If Old Mrs. Camden doesn't drink red wine, you guys can drink it instead."

Herman insisted on returning the wine to Ryan and said, "We understand your goodwill, but we don't like drinking either."

Ryan took the bottle of wine with a look of embarrassment as he hurriedly returned to his table and got ready to give it away to someone else.

"Miss Clarke, Mr. Zack, it took me a lot of effort to buy this bottle of 1990 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. I'm going to open it now. Let's finish it!"

Ryan did not even call the waiter and opened the bottle of wine himself.

However, no one was willing to drink the bottle of expensive wine after it was opened.

"Miss Clarke, I'll pour it for you. Please try it." Ryan said as he walked towards Victoria.

Victoria politely refused, "Sorry, I drove here. I can't drink."

'You can't drink?'

Ryan clearly remembered that just now, Victoria had taken the initiative to toast to him!

Ryan walked towards Zack, who similarly refuted, "I only drink white wine."

The other people at the table took the opportunity to pick up their glasses and go to Old Mrs. Camden's table in a bid to toast to her and wish her a happy birthday.

Victoria was the only one left at the table that was lively a while ago.

"A poor fellow in a pragmatic society."

Seeing the sorry plight that Ryan was in, Jordan couldn't help but shake his head.

The Camdens and the upper echelons in this circle were all too pragmatic. It was no wonder that Hailey would be unfaithful to her husband for the sake of money.

When Ryan saw that Victoria was the only one left at the table, he thought Victoria was still willing to be his friend.

Ryan went forth and asked, "Miss Clarke, can we exchange numbers? I'd like to ask Mr. Willis out for a meal if there's an opportunity in the future."

Victoria took a sip of tea and said, "Sorry, I don't have my cell phone with me."
