Outside the hotel door, another black car stopped. The door was opened, and Xavier walked out of the car. Standing at the door, he could already feel the bustle.
Jacob followed him by his right side and presented the receptionist with the invitation. After the receptionist looked at it, he said, "Please come inside." Rufus saw it, put down his glass, and walked over. "Mr. Jones."
Xavier picked up a glass of red wine from the tray held by the waiter passing by, put it to his lips, and took a sip. He said meaningfully, "Congratulations, Mr. Gates."
Rufus didn't notice anything weird. He smiled happily. Whether he liked Laura or not, he had to look very satisfied when facing outsiders.
"Well, I'm more popular with women." He punned.
He implied that it was because of him that Arya left the Jones Family, and he divorced Georgina but now married Laura.
Moreover, even if Mr. Gates was retired, the Gates Family's power remained unchanged.
The Jones Family had a different situation. Mr. Jones retired, and Jasper, his proud student, died as well. Their power in the officialdom was greatly reduced.
Maybe the richest and the most powerful family in W City in the future would not be the Jones Family.
Xavier shook the glass, and the blood-red liquid swayed in it. He lowered his eyes and stared at the wine. "Some of it may be bad luck."
Rufus's face darkened slightly. But he remained calm, "Mr. Jones, are you kidding? I'm engaged today. Why did you curse me?"
Xavier chuckled. "I didn't. I have accepted the gift you gave me. If I give a gift to you, you have to take it."
"Of course." Rufus sneered in his mind. Xavier's recent actions were being watched by his henchmen.
He was either in the company or in the hospital. What trouble could he make?
What's more, Mr. Gates had officially retired. He had no connections in the officialdom. What could he do?
At this moment, someone came to remind Rufus to attend the ceremony.
"Convey my regards to Arya. When she gives birth, I will definitely go to apologize. If it hadn't been me, she would still be your wife now." Rufus said sarcastically deliberately to touch a raw nerve before leaving.
With the status of the Gates Family, the people they invited were naturally dignified. Today, at the home court of the Gates Family, there were certainly a lot of people who gave flattery, and many people took the opportunity to get close with the Gates Family.
Seeing that Rufus was called away, some people came up to get close with Xavier. They used to know each other but were not familiar. They usually had no contact, and now they took this opportunity to get familiar with him. "Mr. Jones, listen to what he said. It seems that Mrs. Jones is not Mrs. Jones."
Arya and Xavier did sign the divorce agreement, and without Xavier's signature, Mr. Jones found someone to complete the divorce process.
But it was not made public. The outside world did not know about it. Only a few people who got involved in the incident knew it.
The smile on Xavier's face changed instantly.
He tidied up his neat suit collar and said unhappily, "His words are not as nice as yours."
When this person heard this, he thought he had said something wrong. Why did he feel unhappy?
He thought about it and felt that he was right, "You are not divorced?"
This man was trying to explain, but Xavier's expression turned even gloomier.
Xavier didn't even want to take another look at such a fool. He turned around and walked to Cullen.
Jacob followed Xavier and looked back at the man, "You flattered him in the wrong place."
Originally, the man wanted to get close to Xavier. However, not only did he fail to get close to him, but he also made Xavier despise him.
The man came up to him unwittingly, trying to find out the truth, "Is Mr. Jones divorced?"
