Lilian breathed, stupefied.
She barely showed any resistance, although Gerald was still hugging her waist.
It was all only too exciting, now that the tables have turned.
They were in the venue.
Elena’s birthday banquet was exceptionally grand this time. This was mainly because Mr. Larson wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to host a large gathering for all the business owners too.
As Hayward was from the Yorknorth Mountain, that automatically qualified him on the banquet attendees’ list.
There were more than a hundred guests on the scene. Most were rich and young heirs, and there were many bosses too.
The layout of the event was a bit similar to that of a wedding ceremony. There was a long aisle in the middle, and the banquet tables lined both sides of the aisle.
Gerald managed to find a seat for both of them.
After all, there were many people here, and most would just be casually looking for a place to sit with their friends.
Hayward made his entrance in the ballroom, threw a fierce gaze at Gerald and Lilian before pulling Sharon over to sit at another table with some of his friends.
“Gerald? Why are you here too?”
A random voice questioned out loud.
As he turned around to have a look, Gerald was startled.
It was a girl, and it turned out to be Leila, Mr. Jung’s daughter.
A group of dashing young men and beautiful women were standing next to her. Leila also stared at Gerald in surprise.
Why was Leila here?
As Gerald gave it some thought, he could slowly put things into perspective.
Mr. Jung was not the leader of Weston Merchants Holdings. Since he was investing in Serene County, he must be acquainted with and had many deals with large managers and bosses.
Since Elena’s father organized such a large gathering and Hayward could get an admission ticket, it went without saying that Leila would get one too.
What a coincidence that they had to bump into one another.
