For a moment, the box went quiet. Everyone had an inquisitive look on their face, their eyes darting between Winnie and Marie.
The women knew Winnie would embarrass Marie the moment she came in, but they never expected it to happen so soon.
Winnie looked down at Marie with a smug smile. Somehow, she felt extremely satisfied when she saw the once "prettiest girl in school" had such an ordinary boyfriend.
Just as Marie was about to say something, Leo stopped her.
There was no trace of anger on his face, but a faint smile instead.
Marie caught on immediately and gave a sneer. "I don’t care what you think of him, as long as I’m satisfied with him."
Winnie was a little shocked to hear that, but the next moment, the smile on her face widened.
"Good to know. Let me drink a toast to it a while later."
Dakota, Billie and Abigail could tell Winnie was declaring war on Marie.
During high school years, Winnie liked Edwin, while he liked Marie, nevertheless.
But Marie had no interest in Edwin at all, and thus had refused him for many times, which was a shattering blow to Winnie’s pride.
In Winnie’s view, she was humiliated by the fact that the man she cherished was belittled by Marie, and someday, she would grind Marie beneath her heel.
Winnie had sworn so back then, and now it was time for her to realize her dream.
"Winnie, introduce your husband to us." Dakota, Billie and the others couldn’t wait to get to know Winnie’s husband.
Winnie took Reuben’s arm affectionately and smiled, "My husband runs retail stores, but along with the widespread of the Internet, online stores are booming, so he intends to develop his online business. Therefore, the J Group of Hopkins is our ideal partner."
"Wow! Really?"
"Won’t you make a fortune if you work with the J Group?"
Winnie nodded in agreement.
Edwin chimed in with a grin, "As long as I can cooperate with the J Group, I’ll buy a yacht for Winnie, and we’ll welcome you to have a party on it!"
"Is that so? Then we’ll be waiting for that day, Mr. Harrison!"
"I envy you so much, Winnie!"
Dakota and Billie cast an envious look at Winnie, who was embracing the moment of being complimented. At the same time, she threw a look at Leo, Marie and Serena to watch their reaction.
However, to her disappointment, those three people looked as calm as before, no hint of envy in their eyes.
In addition, she could feel that the look in Marie’s eyes turned colder.
And Winnie’s feeling was right.
When her husband said the J Group was his ideal business partner, the three people lost interest in the couple.
Serena’s father was the president of the J Group, while Marie was the younger lady of the Henderson family, the royal family in Valenham.
Not to mention Leo.
Winnie’s showing off in front of the three of them was just like her offering to teach fish to swim.
However, Marie didn’t put her cards on the table, but turned to Edwin with a smile.
"Edwin, what about you? It’s said that you’re going to be promoted. Even some big shots invite you to dinner."
Edwin shook his head, smiling. "They’re all rumors. You’ve done better than me. I’ve worked so hard yet I’ve got nothing, while you’ve got such a great husband."
Leo shot a glance at Edwin. He was a reserved and low-key man. Unlike Winnie, who showed off herself, he concealed the fact that he was promoted.
"Come on! Don’t be so humble. I heard that you made friends with Brooke, the young master of the Palmer family, and he even recruited you to Spaerrace. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to book a private box in Spaerrace, no matter how rich I am!"
Winnie's words sent the crowd into pandemonium again.
"What? Brooke from the Palmer family? Edwin even made friends with him?"
"There used to be four influential families in Hopkins. After the Hudson family fell, there were only three left, the Palmer family, the Watts family and the Grant family. But Edwin actually made friends with one of them. How did he do that?"
"Edwin, how about taking us to Mr. Palmer someday?"
Dakota, Billie and the other women threw themselves at Edwin.
Edwin, nonetheless, gave a smile. "We’ve met for only a few times, and that’s all. Probably Mr. Watts doesn’t even remember me now."
"You’re too modest, Mr. Gill!" Reuben looked obsequiously at Edwin. "Will you please help me set up a meeting with the president of the J Group? If the deal is done, you won’t regret it."
