NovelStart“Why should | be angry? What they're doing is exactly what | wanted them to do.” Christopher raised his glass, gazing at the blood-red liquid within, his smile cold and chilling. “Not only am | not angry, but I'll also lend my brother a hand. Consider it my gift to him and Ms. Amelia.” * After some covert maneuvering by Astrid, Lance successfully met with the fortune teller, Mrs. Lee.
Under Astrid’s instructions, Mrs. Lee delivered a well-crafted message to Lance, which seemed plausible and convincing. It left Lance with no choice but to believe it.
In truth, Lance also harbored hopes of arranging a marriage between Charles and the Thompsons. After all, Charles was his favorite son, and any advantages resulting from this alliance would undoubtedly be given to him first.
Despite Christopher's efforts to please him and everything proceeding smoothly, their bond had a gap of fifteen years. Thus, Christopher could not replace Charles’ position in his heart.
However, Wyatt was a proud man. Even if Amelia wasn’t his favorite, how could he possibly let his beautiful and talented daughter marry the crippled Charles? Thus, Lance could only set this matter aside for the time being. He prepared to seize a suitable opportunity and muster up his courage to plead with Wyatt once more.
However, the hope for success seemed faint.

Time flew by quickly.
In no time, the eagerly anticipated weekend arrived.
The news of the Reed father-son duo from Journey Ventures making their first visit to Savrow and hosting a top- tier business banquet had spread among the major wealthy families and throughout the city’s media.
Tonight, the castle resort on the outskirts of Savrow was completely booked by the Reeds. The driveway of the resort was bustling with luxurious cars. However, everything was orderly and well-organized inside, unaffected by the influx of media.
This demonstrated the high level of security and privacy of this event.
The members of the four major families arrived one after another, all choosing to avoid the media and taking the VIP route set up for them.
Even the usually high-profile Hoffmans refrained from making a public appearance this time.
After all, it had not been long since the horse racing event, and they did not want to stir up any more .
“Grandpa, will Uncle Gregory announce the news of my engagement to Justin at tonight's banquet?” Inside the luxury car, Zoe leaned against Logan like a pampered cat, her brows furrowed with unease. “Do you think Uncle Salvador will be able to persuade Justin? Justin is quite stubborn, and I'm worried...” “Persuade? Do you think Justin can refuse to do so? Unless he’s willing to give up his status in the Salvador Corporation and step down as CEO!
Logan exhaled heavily, his expression . ap, . .
darkening. “I've already discussed it with Chairman Salvage and he's satisfied with this match. With the l dowry I've prepared for you and the conditions the Hoffmans can offer, ” he has no reason not to agree.

“But... Grandpa Nigel has always supported Bella. He treats her better than his own granddaughter. If Grandpa Nigel disagrees...” “How long do you think Nigel can hold sway? Now, Chairman Salvador calls the shots in the Salvador Corporation.”
Logan could not help but sneer,
Chairman Salvador's stance is crystal clear. He'll never let a woman like Bella, who manipulates his son and refuses to stay in her place, into the Salvador family. That crazy girl from the Thompson family is smart, but she ended up outsmarting ) herself! Zoe, rest assured. She won't be able to block your path into the . » Salvador family anymore.”
“If that's the case, then that’s great! Thank you, Grandpa!” Zoe's face flushed with excitement, and she began to act coyly again.
Initially, she had planned to deliver a fatal blow to Bella tonight , in front of both the Salvadors and Thompsons, as well as the Reeds, to humiliate the Thompsons.
However, if Logan had already settled things with Gregory, then it would make things much easier for her.
