Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 453

Next to Maxine was a very young-looking man who wore a dark red suit and jeweled earrings. When he looked at the others, there was only a hint of a smile in his petal-shaped eyes. His lips curved up in an impish grin, and he looked like one of those affluent, unconventional types.

As if he sensed Janet’s gaze, he cocked his head and looked in her direction.

Along with him, Joel looked over as well.

When Joel saw Janet, the joy of seeing an old acquaintance flashed across his face.

Janet raised her glass to him from a distance, indicating that he should continue fulfilling his social duties. There was no need for him to come over to her.

At that point, Luna appeared with Chairman Harrison Graham on her arm. Instantly, this drew a lot of attention.

Luna was wearing a purple dress. She looked poised, noble, and relaxed. With her father leading, she mingled around the bigwigs in a manner that was neither overbearing nor timid.

It was not hard to see that Harrison had deliberately nurtured this daughter. There were three children in the Graham family. The first two were legitimate, and only the third was born out of wedlock.

However, the illegitimate child, Gregory, had returned to open arms. This caused everyone to fervently discuss the future direction of the Graham family.

Janet did not manage to meet that legendary Third Young Master at today’s occasion, but she did not mind.

Harrison accompanied Luna and moved around the room. When he approached Joel, he broke into a mild smile and exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Soon after that, his gaze turned and he seemed a little surprised.

After that, with a smile, he came over to Liam.

Naturally, Harrison knew Liam. They were of the same generation, but due to the disparity between their ages, they had not spent much time together.

Besides, Liam was reclusive and aloof by nature and was not one for socializing, so he rarely showed up during occasions like this, but he had suddenly appeared. Those who knew him would be startled. Knowing his temperament, they did not attempt to ingratiate themselves with him. As for those who did not know him, they could tell that he was not an ordinary man. Nonetheless, they were intimated by his forbidding, dignified aura, and dared not go up to him.

Harrison guffawed. “Oh my! Young Master Liam has honored us with his presence. What a rare occurrence!”

Liam smiled politely in a rare display of modesty. “Chairman Graham, there’s no need to be so formal. The Grahams and the Griffins have always looked after each other over the years. We’ve always been interdependent. Ms. Graham invited me, so of course, I had to come.”

Luna smiled and nodded at Janet before replying, “Young Master Liam is truly too gracious. How flattered I am! A toast to you.”

With that, she held up her wine glass.

Liam did not say much, simply clinked glasses with her and downed it all in one gulp.

“And this is?”

Harrison was looking at Janet as he inquired with a warm smile.

Liam explained, softly and calmly, “My wife, Janet.”

He lowered his head and said tenderly to Janet, “Jan, these are the Grahams.”

Janet nodded courteously and smiled as well. “It’s an honor to meet Chairman Graham at last. A toast to you.”

Her acquiescent manner clearly pleased Harrison a great deal. Therefore, although he was a little taken aback that Liam had gotten married without any fanfare, he still burst into a wide smile. “Good, good!”

After echoing these words, he held up his glass and drank it all.

At that moment, Joseph Garrett came over to say hello as well.

Naturally, Joseph knew Janet and Liam. The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a moment. Janet recalled that she recently heard Old Master Garrett was not in the best of health and inquired after him with concern.

Joseph sighed and shook his head.

“Old Master’s health is gradually deteriorating. We’ve tried everything but nothing’s working.”

When Janet heard this, she could not help but frown with worry.

Liam said solemnly, “Old Master Garrett has lived through his share of trials and hardships, so he’ll receive future blessings. The heavens will provide for the worthy. Second Uncle Garrett, don’t worry too much.”

Joseph nodded.

He suddenly thought of something and asked, “Oh, right, have you both been in touch with Nelly recently?”
