"Hello, Mr. Burnett, I'm Cathy Willis," Cathy walked ahead, gracefully and quickly introducing herself.
Her smile was elegant, leaving no room for criticism.
"As for this Miss Armstrong, she might just be passing by," Cathy pretended to speak for Navier.
Navier remained calmly silent, not in a hurry to speak.
Not far away, Aubrey watched her closely.
She didn't move, looking completely like someone who was just passing by.
Her expression was as light as an early blooming lotus, natural and serene.
Aubrey narrowed his eyes, unable to understand why Navier came here in the first place.
After Cathy finished speaking, she took a step forward and waited for Mr. Burnett to lead her inside.
But Mr. Burnett didn't move.
He shook his head, lowering his gaze. "Something's not right. The gentleman didn't mention anyone surnamed Cathy Willis. Only Navier Armstrong."
"Mr. Burnett, hi, it's me," Navier called out, passing by Cathy and walking up to Mr. Burnett. "I'm Navier."
"Navier?" Mr. Burnett heard her say her name and immediately nodded. "Yes, yes, that's the name. Miss Armstrong, please come in."
He became warm and enthusiastic, ushering Navier inside.
Cathy, forgotten, stood there like a statue, her mind blank.
How could this happen?
Navier didn't come to find Aubrey?
Instead, she came to meet Mr. Anderson?
Aubrey furrowed his brows tightly, even though he had seen countless twists and turns in life, the current situation surprised him.
His gaze remained on Navier, unable to look away.
"Aubrey," Cathy came back and her face looked dark.
She had just confidently claimed that not only could she meet Mr. Anderson, but she could also persuade him to cooperate with Genesis Group. Now... she had been proven wrong?
She was slapped in the face, while Navier was warmly welcomed by the Anderson family's butler?
It wasn't just a slap in the face; it was as if they were rubbing her face into the ground!
Navier was quickly brought into the reception room by Mr. Burnett.
The Anderson family treated their guests differently based on their status.
Ordinary guests were received in the side hall.
Important ones were received in the main hall.
The most distinguished guests would be invited to the VIP room upstairs.
Navier was led to the VIP room.
Along the way, the servants couldn't help but glance at her, trying to guess her identity.
It was worth noting that in a year, there were only a handful of guests who were invited to this room.
Navier remained undisturbed by the servants' gazes and was not surprised by the arrangements in the VIP room.
She remained calm and serene, sitting on the chair like an ancient ink painting.
Mr. Burnett couldn't help but take a few more glances at her, becoming even more courteous. "Please wait a moment; Mr. Anderson will be here soon."
"Sure, thank you, Mr. Burnett," Navier replied softly.
Immediately, someone brought in top-quality tea.
The tea had no brand name, but its aroma filled the room, a rare top-grade tea that couldn't be found in the market.
She took a shallow sip and, seeing Mr. Burnett leave, she took out her phone and sent a message to William, asking him to come and persuade Cathy and the others to leave.
Cathy was unaware of Mr. Anderson's situation, and if she caused any trouble, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
As soon as she sent the message, there was movement outside the door.
Navier stood up, and a handsome man walked in from outside.
The man had a serious expression, a large frame, a tall figure, and a strong presence.
Although his face had only slight wrinkles, his hair was as white as snow.
Due to his white hair, he looked like he was in his fifties or sixties.
