As soon as he entered the house and saw that his wife Mia's shoes were already at the door, he knew that she had already come back.

So he went straight to the bedroom.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw that his wife Mia had just hung up the phone, with a look of surprise and excitement on her face.

He asked curiously, "Honey, who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

Mia said excitedly, "It was my best friend Caroline!

Do you remember her?"

Alan nodded and said, "Yes, I do.

She used to study at a university in Pras City and had a close relationship with you.

Is she the daughter of a big family in Neon City?"

Mia said, "That's right.

Caroline's family is quite powerful in Neon City."

Alan smiled and asked, "Is she coming to Pras City to see you?"

Mia said, "She's not just coming to see me. She's coming to work in Pras City!"

Alan asked in confusion, "As the daughter of a big family in Neon City, why doesn't she manage her own family business and instead comes to work in Pras City?"

Mia said, "I'm not really sure. She said she's going to work for the Delaney Group.

But I have no idea why she came all the way here to Delaney."

Alan nodded. Although the Mellon family couldn't compare with the Smith family, it still had some influence in Neon City.

Caroline had no need at all to give up her family's business and come to work at his Delaney Group.

Could it be that this woman had some special purpose for coming to the Delaney Group?

Alan was puzzled, but he couldn't figure it out for the moment.

It seems that we can only wait until Caroline joins the Delaney Group, and then ask Vivian to thoroughly investigate her background.

At this moment, Mia seemed to have thought of something. She slapped her forehead and said,

"By the way, Alan, I've made an appointment for a meeting with the people from the Delaney Group tomorrow and I won't be able to get away.

Can you go to the airport to pick up Caroline for me and arrange a place to give her a welcome dinner by the way?"

Alan agreed, "I'll make arrangements in advance tomorrow."

Mia added, "Oh, and find a nice place. Don't be stingy with money. Take my bank card."

As she spoke, she was about to hand him her wallet.

Alan quickly said, "No need. I have an acquaintance who owns a pretty good restaurant. I can handle the arrangements."

With that, Alan immediately took out his phone and was about to send a text message to Claude at the Ritz-Carlton, asking him to arrange a banquet for him.

But upon careful consideration, he thought that the Ritz-Carlton was supposed to be a surprise for his wife. It would be better to choose another place to entertain Caroline.

So he sent a text message to Mogos instead.

I want to host a banquet to entertain my friends. Please arrange a high-class hotel for me, but not the Ritz-Carlton.

Soon, Mogos replied with a text message: Mr. Alan, don't worry. I own a Western restaurant called Arc de Triomphe.

It's a top restaurant in Pras City that's as famous as the Ritz-Carlton.

Tomorrow, I will definitely arrange the best Diamond Hall and the best banquet for you. I will be waiting for your arrival.

Alan only replied with one word: Hmm.

The next day, Mia spent the whole day at the Delaney Group, busy dealing with matters related to the cooperation.

Alan called Vivian, the vice chairperson of the Delaney Group, to ask her about Caroline's upcoming employment.

Vivian was surprised that Alan knew about this.

Vivian said that Caroline had applied for the position of administrative director, a middle-level management position.

The group thought her resume was good and decided to hire her. She was scheduled to start working in a few days.

So Alan told her to keep an eye on this woman after Caroline joined the company.

If there was any movement, she should report it to him immediately.

After arranging things with Vivian, in the afternoon, Alan went out and took a taxi to the airport, ready to pick up Mia's best friend, Caroline.

When he arrived at the airport by taxi and was about to go to the arrival hall, a Mercedes-Benz G-Class suddenly came to a screeching halt and stopped horizontally in front of him.

Mia's cousin, Carlson, suddenly stuck his head out of the car window and frowned at Alan in confusion.

He asked: Alan, what are you doing here?

I'm here to pick up one of Mia's best friends. What are you guys doing here?

Alan frowned and realized that the people in this Mercedes-Benz G-Class were all acquaintances.

Besides Carlson, there were also Saul and Tasha.

Carlson said contemptuously, "You're talking about Miss Caroline, right?

We'll take care of Miss Caroline. We don't need you. Scram!"

Alan gave a cold snort and said, "If you want to scram, do it yourself."

After saying that, Alan ignored them and directly walked into the arrival hall.

Carlson was so angry that he was about to swear, but Tasha beside him quickly reminded him.

Brother, Miss Caroline will be here soon. Grandma has reminded you to leave a good impression on Miss Caroline!

If you can make her your sister-in-law, your status in our family will be unparalleled. Don't bother with this good-for-nothing for now.

Carlson was suddenly jolted awake and almost forgot the main purpose of coming here today.

In fact, giving a welcome reception to Caroline is secondary.

Leaving a good impression on her and then getting her is the most important thing.

The Mellon family has extraordinary strength in Neon City. If he can get together with her.

Then he will rise rapidly, and the Mill family will become even stronger.

So, he suppressed his dissatisfaction with Alan. The people in the car quickly got out and also rushed to the arrival hall.

At this moment, in the crowd, there appeared a particularly eye-catching, young and beautiful woman.

She had long hair and was wearing a white suit dress, which outlined her exquisite figure.

Although she was wearing sunglasses, her skin was as white as porcelain, her lips were like a flame, and her peerless beauty couldn't be hidden at all.

Looking at her carefully, her beauty was no less than Mia's. They could be said to have their own unique charm.

For a moment, the eyes of the people who came to meet the plane outside the passage all focused on her.

Carlson was completely stunned.

Even Saul, who came to watch the excitement, was amazed by her beauty.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder she's a lady from Neon City. Her temperament is really extraordinary."

At this time, Caroline also saw the crowd and quickly walked over.

She waved to them and said, "Carlson, Tasha, and Alan, long time no see!"

Carlson felt a rush of excitement in his heart and took the lead to say, "Long time no see, Caroline. You've become even more beautiful."

Alan smiled and also said, "Long time no see."

Carlson hurriedly said, "Caroline, we knew you were coming.

I specially reserved a private room in the best hotel in Pras City.

It's to give you a welcome reception. Let's go there now."

Caroline glanced at Alan and said to Carlson apologetically,

"Carlson, I'm really sorry. I've already made an appointment with Mia and Alan in advance. Let's make another appointment some other time.

Anyway, I'm going to stay in Pras City for a long time. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

When Carlson heard this, he was furious inside.

On such an important day, this despicable wimp, Alan, was causing trouble for him. It was really abominable.

So, he deliberately said, "Caroline, to welcome you, I've booked the Arc de Triomphe Western Restaurant, which is the best in Pras City. And it's the Golden Hall with a minimum consumption of 200,000 US dollars!"

As he said this, he looked at Alan contemptuously and smiled.

I wonder which restaurant Alan has booked?

If the place is too low-class, won't it be disrespectful to Caroline!"

    With that, Kendall heaved a sigh and went on. But even when your father was a young man, foreign trade carried out by domestic entrepreneurs remained largely unchanged from the Tang and Song dynasties, lacking any sophisticated expertise. Meanwhile, Europeans and Americans had mastered cross-border finance to perfection—stocks, futures, oil, gold, private equity funds, hedge funds, venture capital; these were their core trump cards back then.While Asian nations were slaving away manufacturing goods to trade overseas and scrape together profits bit by bit, Western hedge funds flooded Asia with massive hot money, wreaking havoc everywhere. They could trigger financial crises and legally seize the fruits of an Asian country’s labor accumulated over years, even decades, sending its finance, stock market and real estate market crashing down all at once.Back then, the Field Family set their sights on exploiting major domestic clans.

    As the chief steward of the Smith Family, Kendall was an influential figure in Neon City. Save for the handful of top-tier clans, the patriarchs of all other families treated him with the utmost deference. Thanks to his standing, his teahouse thrived, drawing crowds of prominent socialites who came to patronize the place.When Alan arrived at Huguang Guild Hall, Kendall had already gotten there ahead of him.He waited personally at the entrance, and his jaw dropped the moment he saw Alan accompanied by a woman wearing a face mask.Having operated deep within Neon City’s elite circles for years, Kendall possessed an extraordinary eye for detail. He recognized at a single glance that the masked woman beside Alan was none other than Juliet, the heiress of the Austin Family.Overwhelmed with delight, he exclaimed excitedly, Young Master, Miss Juliet! What a surprise to see the two of you together!Juliet let out a soft chuckle. Uncle Kendall, I disguised myself this well, yet you still sa

    The rest of the clan chimed in one after another, their reasoning plain and simple: Alan had grown up in humble circumstances and was simply unworthy of the eldest young lady of the Bruce Family.Domingo wore a sneering look as he spoke. Father, even though Alan is Second Brother’s son, he’s exactly what young people nowadays call a nobody. How could such a man ever compare to a peerless beauty like Louise?Seeing every single person speaking out in opposition, the old Smith patriarch let out a cold snort and said, Do any of you know that Louise’s mother—the eldest daughter-in-law of the Bruce Family—once would have died for John? She chased after him relentlessly for years. If John had given her his consent back then, she would have become the second daughter-in-law of the Smith Family. Even now, she visits John’s grave to pay her respects every single year.

    That’s right, Gaston, Alan’s male cousin, cut in. I’ve crossed paths with Louise from the Bruce Family before. She’s an icy, reserved woman who rarely attends social events. Countless high-society galas at home and abroad have sent her elaborate invitations, yet she’s turned every single one down. Courting her would be next to impossible. On top of that, I already have a formal engagement. If I pursued her, the Bruces would see right through my ulterior motives.Wendell, the eldest son of Domingo—the third brother and one of Alan’s younger cousins—could not hide his eagerness as he spoke up. Grandfather, let me give it a try!Mitchell glanced at his nephew, whose features were plain and unremarkable, and shook his head. Wendell, the Bruce Family already stands stronger than us. Even Gaston, our eldest grandson, might not be deemed worthy in their eyes—what chance do you have?Domingo’s tone turned sour. Eldest brother, there’s no need to speak like that.

    Alan patted the back of her hand and smiled. That’s just how life is—one must stand firm through extreme highs and crushing lows. If a person is showered with flattery their entire life, they may never grasp the cruelty of the world or the hardships ordinary people endure. Such a person will likely suffer a devastating loss someday. Unlike me, I’ve seen all the warmth and coldness of humanity ever since I turned eight. All those experiences are an invaluable asset for the rest of my life.Juliet nodded softly, big teardrops sliding down from the corners of her eyes.Her heart ached deeply for the life Alan had led over the past decade and more.
