"About that incident at the last gathering, I only found out afterwards. Was it our Campbell Family's lack of hospitality, or are you busy this weekend? Or is there another reason?"
Elder Campbell spoke with concern, but he left no room for her to refuse.
A quick check of her schedule would reveal her availability this weekend. Was it just a coincidence? Her entire weekend was free with no work arranged, and she didn't believe in coincidences.
What was the reason behind Elder Campbell's special invitation to her?
"No need to send soone to pick up. I'll visit with Mason at that ti," Aurelia Shaw said with a smile.
But Elder Campbell replied, "Mason has been busy lately, so let's not trouble him. It's just a small gathering, and having n around isn't convenient. If you don't like being picked up, you can drive yourself."
This left Aurelia with no excuse to refuse.
Moreover, Elder Campbell had already given her the assurance she wanted.
This gathering was safe, and Mason could be inford.
Aurelia nodded, "Alright, I'll drive over myself on Saturday."
...
Aurelia's phone rang nonstop. It was Viscount Zhou calling, "Hello."
"Where did you go?" Viscount Zhou's voice was slightly breathless.
Aurelia paused for a mont, "Did you co out looking for ?"
"Yes, it's been a while, and you haven't returned. I was worried about you," said Viscount Zhou.
Aurelia was eerily silent for a while, "You didn't go looking for in the won's restroom, did you?"
"Pah! Am I that perverted? I asked a woman to check if you were in there," said Viscount Zhou, standing in the middle of the restroom, having just cleared it out.
His handso face was red, with his tone unchanged, but his eyes nervously darted around.
Realizing he was in the won's restroom, he quickly looked down, avoiding eye contact with anything around him.
Damn it, this is a ss!
If people found out he had entered the won's restroom, his reputation in the rich heirs' circle would be utterly ruined.
Aurelia, that little troublemaker! How can she still be wandering off at her age?
"I'm in the hallway, heading back to the private room now," Aurelia said, walking lightly and explaining to Viscount Zhou, "I just ran into Elder Campbell's granddaughter and stopped to say hello."
"Elder Campbell is here too?" Viscount Zhou's voice didn't show much emotion. Now that he was handling the family business, he knew that so deals were discussed in such gatherings.
These weren't for young people to have fun but for business interactions among adults.
Elder Campbell was a veteran in the business world, and as juniors, they should go over to greet him.
"When did you start knowing mbers of the Campbell Family?" He knew Jennifer Campbell too, but Aurelia had been studying in M Nation for over three years and hadn't spent much ti in the country, so she wasn't in contact with the Campbell Family. Even if she t Jennifer Campbell, they probably wouldn't recognize each other.
"I t them at a gathering hosted by the Campbell Family a few days ago."
Viscount Zhou thought for a mont and understood, "Mason took you there?"
"Yes," Aurelia didn't hide it.
"That damned Mason! Why would he introduce you to the Campbell Family!" Viscount Zhou cursed softly.
He had his own reasons.
He didn't want Aurelia involved with such a crowd; the Campbell Family's business was so extensive, and the ans to maintain a century-long foundation could only be imagined.
If she mingled with these people, who's to say she wouldn't suffer?
Moreover, there was no guarantee that the other party wouldn't look down on them and do sothing.
