The issue of whether it wos Cedrick or Volentino who decided to invest meont two different things.
The people who turned up were all from the list of guests who had confirmed their attendance previously.
Tactfully clearing her throat, Joanne proclaimed, “Welcome to Angle, Mr. Lester of Resplendent Group, Mr. Quigley of Ingenuity Entertainment, Ms. Young of Breaking Dawn Productions, and Mr. Jiminez of Luxuriant Media!”
Undeniably, business people prioritized interests. The big shots who had initially made up various excuses for not attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony, perhaps because they were bribed, had all rushed over in a mad dash.
In the end, all the guests who were invited made it in the last ten minutes. Sienna swiftly helped Gwendolyn to welcome everyone.
Lorelai was so livid that her face flushed bright red. As too many people had rushed over, there was such a crowd at the entrance that no space was left.
Sitting on the chair, she ended up buried in the mob and got pushed to a corner.
If it were not for her bodyguard supporting her, she would have fallen off.
Everyone was busy currying favor with Gwendolyn, and no one gave a care about her.
Sienna threw a glare at her. “There are too many guests here, so I’m afraid Gwendolyn and I have no time to entertain you. It doesn’t feel good to be proven wrong, huh? If you’re close to losing your composure, hurry up and scuttle off with your tail tucked between your legs.”
“How dare you!”
At the blatant insult, Lorelai’s blood boiled, and she almost burst a blood vessel.
Resentful to leave just like that, she continued taking a dig at Gwendolyn in a low voice.
“So what if you’ve got Cedrick protecting you, Gwendolyn? I heard that he’s extremely violent toward women. Not only is his personality twisted, but he’s also unsightly. Life must have been difficult for you during this time you’ve been at the Jenson residence to take care of him, huh?”
Gwendolyn was momentarily taken aback. She merely snorted a bark of laughter without bothering to clarify things.
It was more important to entertain the guests right then than to quarrel with Lorelai.
However, the same could not be said of Sienna.
