Inside the banquet hall on the third floor of the Imperial Hotel for Nathalie Quinlan’s educational advancent banquet.
Govert Griffin and Sadam Vinson, Brian Bonette, and others were at a table, which included everyone except Brian Bonette and people like Wallace Radcliff.
Originally, Govert Griffin ca to eat with so intention of doing Sadam Vinson a favor, and he knew there wouldn’t be many people attending today, but as more and more people entered, he started to feel uneasy sitting there, both astonished and surprised, and at the sa ti, sowhat relieved that he had imdiately said he had ti when Sadam Vinson asked and took ti out of his day to co today.
He stared at the entrance, watching as Candice Yancey and Mr. Yancey, as well as mbers of the Wilmar Family and Stephanie Tanzil, entered one after another.
Three of the four top families in Beijing who stand at the apex of the social pyramid had co, only the Sullivan Family had not sent anyone. The Sullivan Family was sowhat weaker compared to these three, and while politely referred to as the "Great Families," it wouldn’t be nice to say that they are overshadowed by the other three.
Whether Myles Sullivan ca or not, actually didn’t matter much.
At least, it didn’t affect the prestige of Ms. Quinlan’s educational advancent banquet.
"Mr. Vinson, you didn’t tell that Ms. Quinlan’s educational advancent banquet would have so many attendees," Govert Griffin said, restless as if sitting on pins and needles, mainly because the number of attendees was not particularly high, but each of them had significant influence that made him extrely nervous.
Sadam Vinson was not surprised to see Candice Yancey enter, but when he saw the spiritually vibrant Mr. Yancey dressed in a traditional mandarin gown, he was not so composed anymore.
Looking after Silvania Ingram and the Ingram Family, Owen Yapiter, as well as Lowie Wilmar and Stephanie Tanzil seen by Govert Griffin, the corner of his lips twitched, and his usually carefree face darkened as he pressed his lips together and said, "I didn’t even know so of these people would co. What could I possibly tell you?"
He wasn’t surprised that Mrs. Yancey would co, nor that Mr. Yancey would show up to support Nathalie’s banquet.
Including Lowie Wilmar, the Wilmar Family owed Nathalie a favor, so it was normal for them to show up.
But who told him what’s going on with Owen Yapiter and Silvania Ingram?
Wasn’t Silvania Ingram estranged from the Beijing Ingram Family? They hadn’t been in contact for over a decade, and now they walked in shoulder to shoulder and sat together at Nathalie’s educational banquet—can soone explain this situation to him?
Did Nathalie’s minor educational banquet really have such allure?
He, for one, rembered that Amadeus had no real relation with the Pinecone Group and usually had no dealings with them.
So, for whom did Silvania Ingram and Owen Yapiter co?
Nathalie Quinlan?
"..." Thinking of this, the corners of Sadam Vinson’s mouth twitched again, sowhat surprised yet feeling that he shouldn’t be so surprised.
Initially, he too thought Nathalie Quinlan was just a high school student from McKinney who ended up smack in the face of reality.
But this... how on earth did Amadeus find such a ’little sister’? She was too powerful—her connections were no worse than his!
Sadam Vinson had not yet seen Jaycent Kingsley enter.
Just then, Govert Griffin nudged him lightly with his elbow and whispered, "Mr. Vinson, Ms. Zachmann is ntioning you again in the group."
Sadam Vinson frowned, his face showing impatience as he took out his Phone, conveniently missing the sight of Jaycent Kingsley entering.
He checked the group.
Caryn Zachmann was particularly active.
The atmosphere in the group was good, with most people chatting about getting together in the afternoon for fun.
Just like Govert Griffin said, Caryn Zachmann had ntioned him again and posted a ssage in the group.
[Mr. Vinson, 2:30 this afternoon at the Sernant Club, do you have ti? @Sadam Vinson]
Quite annoyed, he scrolled up to the point where Caryn Zachmann first ntioned him and saw that Govert Griffin had replied for him below, saying he didn’t have ti.
