Ava's face faintly stiffened when she saw Nicole.
Ava was surprised and amazed at Nicole's arrival.' The invitation wasn't for her, but she actually came?'
Nicole looked at the old man standing next to Ava York. This event was organized by this old man, who had been silent for a long time. Back in the day, the old man had some status and power, but he was gradually replaced by new forces.
Even so, he was still more influential and richer than ordinary people. His contacts and resources accumulated were still there. People in the business world more or less still respected him. Thus, a lot of familiar old bosses came to this banquet.
Nicole smiled. The old man naturally knew Nicole because he watched her grow up as a child.
He stepped forward. "Ms. Stanton, welcome! I should b e calling you President Nicole now, right?"
Nicole raised her eyebrows. "Uncle, do you really welcome me? I thought I had offended you somehow..."
The old man frowned. "Why do you say that?"
Nicole glanced at Ava, who was standing beside the old man. Ava’s expression clearly became tense.
"Why did you only send an invitation to my brother and forgot to send it to me? I clearly had the best
relationship with you when I was a child!”
The old man laughed helplessly, "How could I forget you..."
He paused and suddenly remembered something, then glanced at Ava and was silent for a few seconds.
The old man seemed to be thinking about something.
Ava froze. She smiled stiffly and apologized.
“It's my fault. When my subordinates showed me the list, I didn’t review it carefully. Ms. Stanton, sorry for the misunderstanding."
The old man’s brow loosened, and his tone deepened slightly. "Don’t keep such careless staff.”
Nicole smiled and said with a charming voice, "Forget it. I don't want people to think that I came here just to tattletale. My brother asked me to mingle around, not t o pick a fight."
The old man pointed at her. "Oh child, I haven't seen you for a few years and you're still just like your father, just like a little fox!"
Nicole laughed and turned to introduce Harvey. "My male companion, Harvey Sage, the famous actor!"
