The heir of the Lake family, who had usually been arrogant to anyone, was speaking somewhat obsequiously to the middle-aged man before him.
“Even Mr. Winters is here. The Lake family has developed so fast over the years that even Mr. Winters came to the Lake family’s manor!”
“Look at the Lake family’s influence now. Even Mr. Winters, who’s at the peak of power in Ocean City, won’t underestimate the Lake family!”
“Hehe, don’t worry about Mr. Winters and the Lake family. Think about whether your birthday present today will impress the Lake family!”
Many Ocean City’s dignitaries had gathered in the manor. They were currently discussing Mr. Winters in low voices.
After having a little chat with Mr. Winters, Curtis led Mr. Winters to the manor and had him sit somewhere at the front.
“Uncle Winters, have a seat first. I’ll ask my father to keep you company!” Curtis said.
However, Mr. Winters smiled and waved his hand, saying,” Your father is the star today. How can you let the star keep the guest company? Go about your business. I’ll sit here.”
Hearing this, Curtis also nodded before returning to the manor entrance. His face was full of excitement, seemingly excited about Mr. Winters’ visit to the Lake family’s manor.
“Hmph! I was worried Jagoan would cause trouble at Lake Residence. But with Mr. Winters at the Lake family’s manor, I can’t wait for him to come. The Lake family’s manor is packed with all of Ocean City’s elites today, and our guest lineup is no worse than the previous Victory Auction House. If he shows up, I’ll see what he can do to get out.”
Curtis hung his head down, a gleam of excitement in his eyes.
As time slowly went by, more and more dignitaries of Ocean City came to the Lake family’s manor.
He nodded understandingly and said meaningfully, “That Jagoan Lennon has some things up his sleeves. He got these three families to take his side when he had only come to Ocean City a while ago… Interesting young man. It will be interesting if I have a chance to meet…”
