Fanning the flames of conflict
Joel initially thought that William was just a nobody from a poor family who was trying to mingle with them and join the party through connections because he was dressed in extremely plain and ordinary clothes.He reckoned that his outfit probably cost less than a hundred dollars in total.Compared to the large fleet of luxury cars in the parking lot, William’s car seemed extremely shabby too.Yet such a shabby small fry had actually snatched Joel’s parking space, making him extremely displeased.So he had immediately stopped William from leaving and told him to move his lousy car away.He didn’t expect the man, whom he thought was penniless, would be so ignorant as to ignore him and disregard his presence.Joel lost his temper and instructed his bodyguards to smash William’s car to teach him a lesson.But it was now revealed that Oscar, the current helmsman of the Storm family, and Lucas, the scion of the Clement, both actually knew William and were extremely respectful toward him.T
Attracting a lot of attention
“Oscar Storm, you only got to become the helmsman of the Storm family merely because your grandfather is old. Do you really think you’re that capable and impressive?“How dare you reprimand me here? Fine. I’m indeed just a junior of the Prestons now, and I don’t have as high a status as you, but this man standing here is Joel Wallace, the scion of the Wallaces. How dare you be so rude to him? You won’t even greet him. Aren’t you being too arrogant and cocky?”Kobe immediately mentioned his backer, Joel Wallace.Oscar then looked at Joel and pretended to be surprised. “Oh, I’m sorry. So, you’re Mr. Wallace. I really didn’t recognize you just now. I’ve been too impolite. I’m sorry! But seriously, Kobe, since you’re so close to Mr. Wallace, why didn’t you introduce us just now?”Oscar’s words were rather perfunctory, and anyone could tell that he did it on purpose.However, his expression was so serious that it made many riled up, but they couldn’t find any fault with him at all.This ma
Just a Preston
After Zara approached William, Oscar, who attracted most of the women in the room, did the same and even seemed to be extremely respectful toward him, leaving many puzzled.Who exactly was this young man dressed shabbily?William casually glanced around the hall and saw a few people he knew; however, most here were rich children from other cities, so he didn’t know them.At this moment, a few men and women standing in the middle of the hall and chatting suddenly walked toward the corner where William was.“Zara, why did you come over here?”The leader of these people was a wealthy heir of about twenty-seven years old, who was dressed fashionably in an expensive and decent suit.The red segment of hair hanging in front of his head was particularly eye-catching.He then looked at William and drawled in a light tone, “Hey, who’s this? I don’t think I’ve seen him before. Zara, won’t you introduce him to us?”Despite asking for an introduction, he had his head raised high and his nose faci
Misunderstanding
William turned around and saw Zara, who was wearing a black halter bustier dress made of chiffon.She walked toward him smiling.“Zara, you’re here too.” William was slightly surprised and greeted her.“Haha, of course. Today is the birthday of Cecilia, the princess of the Lancaster family. Although my family isn’t very close to the Lancasters, we should still come and show our support no matter what! Even many prestigious families in other cities are proud to receive an invitation to the party!”Zara seemed to be in high spirits, as she was extremely chatty with William.“However, I’m still a bit surprised to meet you here. Given your character, I thought that you might not enjoy attending such banquets!”Zara grabbed two cocktail glasses from the tray in the hands of a passing waiter and handed one to William.William took it politely, but he merely held it in his hand without taking a sip.He said casually, “I happen to be friends with Mr. Lancaster and Cecilia, so I’m just here to
Like a hen among a flock of peacocks
At this moment, William had already driven to the Lancasters’ manor.Due to the delay in the Emerald Garden, Cecilia’s birthday party was about to begin by the time William arrived.At this juncture, most of the guests had already arrived, so William could see that the extremely spacious parking lot outside the Lancasters’ manor was basically full of all kinds of luxury cars.It seemed that most of the guests attending Cecilia’s birthday party were from prestigious families.William found an empty parking space and casually parked his car.He got out of his car carrying the two gift boxes in his hands and walked toward the entrance of the Lancasters’ manor.“Hey, kid, hold it right there!”At this moment, someone yelled curtly behind William.When he turned around, he saw a young man dressed in luxury goods and designer clothing from head to toe with red highlights in his bangs in front of his forehead.He was poking his head out of a Ferrari sports car and glaring daggers at William.
Employing a new manager
“Alright, thank you very much then, Mr. Clement.” William took the two gift boxes and smiled at Lucas.This immediately made Lucas let out a huge sigh of relief.This was enough to show that William wasn’t upset with him and the Clements because of what had happened today, which was good!“However, your general manager is no longer here, so shouldn’t you consider appointing someone to replace him?”Just before William was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly gave this suggestion while looking at Jane in front of him.Lucas froze for a moment, but he soon understood what William meant.Although he came late and wasn’t quite sure if there was any relationship between William and Jane, he naturally wouldn’t ignore William’s recommendation since he had already expressed his intention so clearly.“Mr. Belmont, you’re right! I think… Miss Jane is quite a suitable candidate for the general manager of the Emerald Garden. What do you think?” Lucas asked, which was rather smart of him.W
