Chloe grunted in reply. Just as she was about to type John's name, he snatched it away from her.
When she took the phone back, he had changed his name to "Darling Hubby". Immediately, she felt a chill, but upon seeing his proud look, she bit her remark back and said nothing.
After dinner, at eight o'clock, the banquet began.
Celebrity Mountain Resort was the premium leisure club for the rich in Jiangcheng, and the hotel was naturally extremely luxurious. The lights were overwhelmingly bright and magnificent in the lobby.
People came and went, adding to the hustle and bustle of the scene.
The organizer was Frank Williams, who was of royal background. Upon seeing John, he greeted him with great enthusiasm, “Welcome, Young Master Foster. Please come in!"
The corner of John's mouth twitched slightly, and he showed a rare gentle smile. "Is Grandma here yet?"
"Yes! Since I knew that you were coming, I asked Suzie to bring her over."
"Okay, tell her I'll go see her later."
"Good, good, good!" After repeatedly saying “good”, Frank gestured for John to go in.
As Chloe held John’s hands tightly, she felt a little nervous. Especially when she passed by Frank’s side, she could clearly sense him darting a weird look at her.
"Just chill and play the role of my wife. You’ll have to attend such occasions in the future," John whispered in her ear, then Chloe glanced at him and nodded.
To deny that she was nervous would not be true. Even if her eyesight was obstructed, she could tell that the people present there tonight were no ordinary people. She even saw a few personalities from the international news on TV. Even money could not buy their attendance.
As she thought about this, she could not help taking another look at John and becoming more and more curious about his identity. She always thought that he was a small accomplished businessman, but judging from today, he seemed to be more than that.
After all, he did say that this was a family banquet.
Chloe's mind was filled with thoughts, and she suddenly regretted agreeing to accompany him to the dinner party.
At the same time, on the sofa in the resting lounge not far away, several well-dressed ladies saw John, and their eyes lit up. However, when they saw Chloe next to him, they immediately revealed shocked expressions.
"Who’s that woman? Who is she to stand beside Young Master Foster?"
"I haven't seen her before, and I don't know who she is to be so lucky!"
"She doesn't look that beautiful! At best, she's just pleasant. What does Young Master Foster see in her?"
"Pfft! Maybe she's just an ordinary female companion."
The women's whispers reached Chloe's ears, making her feel more uncomfortable.
The hall was magnificent whereas the service was fit for a king. Everyone present was dressed in a particularly elegant and noble manner as they laughed while enjoying good conversations. When one occasionally overheard the content of their conversations, they talked about international economic trends, the military, and other topics. Poverty was also a topic among these giants.
These were things that Chloe had never heard of before, and she could not help but feel like an ugly duckling who had accidentally broken into the world of white swans. She was embarrassed and helpless.
Feeling her discomfort, John frowned slightly. "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
Chloe tightened her lips and shook her head.
"Do your feet hurt?" he asked again.
She still shook her head, paused, and then nodded.
