Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 784

Mira never expected two powerful, prominent men to bicker like a couple of kindergarteners.

"Enough, both of you. Aren't you a little too old to be squabbling? Have you no shame?"

Jillian and the others kept their eyes glued to the stage, but their peripheral vision constantly darted back to the argument.

They wanted to watch the drama unfold but were terrified of upsetting the two icy men.

Fortunately, the host's voice boomed through the hall once more.

"Now, please welcome the CEO of our leading enterprise to the stage..."

The host was bringing up the top bosses of the five largest financial firms in the country.

Amidst thunderous applause, three figures stepped to the forefront and began their speeches.

"They arranged for the top five domestic financial elites and their bosses to show off up there, deliberately excluding you—the actual number one. It's a calculated suppression," Whitlock observed.

"It's entirely expected. They're perfectly happy playing lapdogs for overseas capital, letting themselves be ordered around. It's only natural the master tosses them some table scraps, isn't it?" Owen laughed effortlessly.

The speeches dragged on. While they sounded righteous and grand, the actual content was nothing but hollow corporate jargon.

"Next, please welcome the host of tonight's magnificent banquet, the representative of the Lance Family—Mr. Lawrence Lance!"

The moment the host's voice faded, Lawrence strode onto the stage with practiced elegance.

His tall stature, handsome features, and overwhelmingly arrogant demeanor sent the younger women in the crowd into a swoon.

Seraphina Quinn's face bloomed with a euphoric smile, Luna Lance's eyes shone with absolute pride, and Quinn Montgomery looked at him like he was the only man in the room.

"Due to the fact that our domestic financial market has only recently emerged, many of our regulations remain immature. This has led to countless retail investors and fund clients losing money, or even going bankrupt, simply because they couldn't navigate the market. We are in desperate need of standardization."

"Hah, he makes it sound like he can guarantee everyone a profit in the stock market. What a joke," Harvey Rivers scoffed under his breath.
