Chapter 755
Mr. Mcguire smiled faintly, "Welcome, dear in-laws. Please come in. We're sorry for not greeting you
properly."
Geoff and Mrs. Howlett walked over hand in hand, just like Adriel, and presented their gifts.
Mr. Mcguire felt a bit more at ease. Carolyn, the eldest daughter of the Howlett family, was the
daughter-in-law of the Mcguire family. Logically and emotionally, with such a close relationship between
the two families, the Howlett family would not likely go to the Wright family's banquet.
Carolyn also approached Katie, saying, "Katie, this is a gift from your me."
She directly handed over the key to a brand-new Maserati, saying, "It's the latest model, the one you've
always wanted."
"Wow, my dear sister-in-law, I love you so much!" Katie exclaimed with excitement, hugging the car key
and pouncing towards Carolyn.
Kareem, seeing Carolyn's generosity, had a slightly dim look in his eyes.
"Carolyn, weren't you supposed to be setting up the venue inside? When did you slip out?"
Carolyn seemed to carry herself with a perpetual air of a professional woman. "I snuck out secretly to
surprise Katie."
"Alright, let's not stand around here. Everyone, let's go inside," Weston loved it when people spoiled his
youngest daughter. As long as she was happy, everything was fine.
He looked at Carolyn with a very satisfied expression in his eyes.
"In-law, sorry, but Jasper is over at the Wright family's banquet, so we have to join them," Geoff
stepped forward, standing in front of Weston with a slightly apologetic smile on his face.
Weston was momentarily stunned and looked incredulous. "What did you say?"
They were family!
The Howlett family was not showing the Mcguire family respect by going to the Wright family's banquet.
This was a blatant humiliation.
In Urgford, Mr. Mcguire had a lot of influence, and the Mcguire Group was at least on par with the
Howlett family. It was rare for Mr. Mcguire to be treated this way in Urgford, and the people not giving
him respect were all influential individuals. If Mr. Mcguire had a public outburst right there, he would
lose face and his reputation would be damaged.
Mrs. Howlett glanced at Carolyn and waved her over, saying, "Carolyn, come with Mom to the Wright
family's banquet. My idol is over there, and I'll introduce him to you later. Your younger brother is there
too. We haven't had a family reunion dinner in ages, thanks to both the Wright and Mcguire families for
bringing us all together."
Mrs. Howlett's words were skillfully framed. She smiled gracefully, "Dear in-law, you see, my son
Jasper has a stubborn temper, you know. He flatly refuses to come back, and it's been so many
years... It's a rare opportunity for our family to gather for a meal."novelbin
This left Mr. Mcguire with no way to refuse. If he prevented them from going, it would be akin to
keeping them from a family reunion. After all, Jasper, who hadn't returned to Urgford for years, was
well-known.
But letting them go would be a blow to his pride. Having his in-laws and even his daughter-in-law,
Carolyn, head to the Wright family was an undeniable blow to his face.
He couldn't even explain this situation properly. Mrs. Howlett had skillfully put him in a difficult position.
Katie, looking bewildered, observed this scene. If she had merely felt humiliated before, she was now
feeling sad and miserable. "Uncle Howlett, Aunt Howlett, aren't you coming to my party? Are you not
having any of the cake?"
She then turned to Carolyn. "Sister-in-law, are you going to the Wright family's banquet too? I thought
you were the one who spoils me the most."
Carolyn was feeling torn between her own family and her husband's family. It was a difficult situation.
Alondra and Paula, not much different from Katie, watched as more and more people went to the
Wright family's banquet. Each of them had impressive backgrounds, and some were rarely seen at
such gatherings.
"What's going on?" Alondra looked as if she'd seen a ghost. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Was Cody
really capable of attracting so many people? It seemed impossible.
Now, the Wright family's Banquet had become an event where nearly all of Urgford's upper echelons
were present. Alondra and Paula were so overwhelmed by the excitement that they couldn't find words
to express their feelings.
Alondra felt deeply embarrassed, especially with Sabrina by her side. She could sense the plain
mockery all around her.
"Blake! Blake is here!"
Paula suddenly gripped Alondra's hand tightly, her voice almost uncontrollably escaping her lips, "How
did he get here?"
Alondra was taken aback and looked outside. She saw a young and handsome man in a discreet black
suit. His aura of sophistication was undeniable.
The Rees family was the deepest-rooted family in Urgford. Moreover, their offspring were exceptional,
and Blake was one of their most outstanding talents.
The Rees family remained highly discreet, never participating in social events or gatherings. However,
their influence extended far beyond Urgford and had deep connections and ties in Aettosa.
So when Sabrina saw Blake, her expression changed. Others might not be aware, but Sabrina, being
the daughter of Aettosa's Foreign Minister Lucille, knew how powerful the Rees family was in Aettosa.
Blake's reputation in Urgford was legendary, known for turning things into gold. His top-notch analytical
skills in the financial sector attracted the attention of numerous industry giants, all seeking to win him
over. After all, the kind of cold, calculating insight that could turn investments into gold was a rare gift.
Despite his fame, Blake remained enigmatic, seldom appearing in public.
So, how had he ended up at the Balfax Hotel?
All eyes were on Blake in amazement as he walked over to Mrs. Wright and said, "Mrs. Wright,
congratulations."
He handed her a thin envelope, undoubtedly containing a bank card. No guessing was needed; it was
a guarantee of immense wealth.
The bank card of someone like him could be loaded with an unimaginable amount of money.
Speculation began among the onlookers.
Sabrina calmed her thoughts and walked up to Blake. "Mr. Rees, it's been a while."
Blake glanced at the somewhat familiar face of Sabrina for a moment before recalling who she was.
"Miss Hogan, hello."
Sabrina basked in the admiring gazes of the crowd. As the daughter of a foreign minister, she was
familiar with Blake from their brief encounter in Aettosa. However, she acted as if she and Blake were
old acquaintances.
"Oh, coming for dinner at the Wright family," Blake responded succinctly.
As he spoke, he sent a message to Sylvia. "I've arrived."
However, just as he hit send, a cold voice spoke up. "Over here."
That voice...
The Mcguire family members turned their attention toward Sylvia and saw an elegant, striking woman
standing at the entrance of the private room. She was exceptionally beautiful, with fair and flawless skin
radiating a porcelain-like sheen. Her deep, ebony eyes shone like cold stars, as if one could get lost in
them forever.
Blake strode toward her with his long legs.
It was at this moment that everyone seemed to suddenly realize. It appeared that Blake had come for
Sylvia?
Mr. Mcguire withdrew his gaze from Sylvia. This woman... she seemed strangely familiar. Why did he
feel like he'd seen her somewhere before?
Undoubtedly, she was very beautiful, and it was impossible to forget someone of her beauty after
seeing them once.
Where could this sense of familiarity be coming from?
"Miss Andrews!" Mrs. Howlett exclaimed upon seeing Sylvia walk out, her face filled with excitement.
She appeared like an infatuated eighteen-year-old girl, with a rosy blush on her cheeks. Her gaze
toward Sylvia was filled with extreme joy and enthusiasm.
She barely had time for anything else, as she grabbed Carolyn's hand and said, "Carolyn, let me tell
you, Sylvia is my idol. She's practically an angel! She saved me from those bandits. At that time... she
was just so handsome!"
Carolyn didn't have a chance to greet the Mcguire family; she was swiftly pulled away by Mrs. Howlett,
a die-hard fan of Sylvia.
Geoff chuckled awkwardly. "My wife is extremely fond of Miss Andrews. She's her fan. Please don't
mind."
Was she trying to show her starstruck enthusiasm for Sylvia?
After pulling Carolyn away, Mrs. Howlett and Geoff followed her, leaving an awkward silence in the
room. Nobody said a word.
But then, they noticed another handsome man entering the room.
Arian Dawson, the head of the Dawson family, controlled Dawson Bank, which had branches across
the country and was a leading bank among them all. Many of the bigwigs in the room used Dawson
Bank for their loans. Whenever someone from the Dawson family appeared, people couldn't help but
show them respect.
A single phone call, and they could control your finances, your life and death.
Moreover, they had heard that Arian was good friends with Lukas, the Mcguire family's eldest son.
Mr. Mcguire sighed with relief. It seemed Arian had come to celebrate Katie's birthday.
He smiled warmly but casually. "Arian, I haven't seen you for a while. Have you been overseas?"
Arian replied with a polite smile, "Uncle Mcguire, you guessed right. I just got back yesterday."
He presented a gift to Katie and added, "Lukas is abroad, and I was feeling restless. Even though I
can't see him outside, just knowing we're in the same country makes me feel a bit better."
This comment made Mr. Mcguire's face change color from red to white.
He awkwardly smiled and said, "Lukas is the pain in my heart. I don't know when those jerks will
release him."
Arian changed the subject, saying, "Let's not talk about that. Today is a good day." He sighed and then
walked up to Mrs. Wright. "Mrs. Wright, where is Sylvia?"
Everyone was wordless and wondered this heir of the Dawson family knew Sylvia.
Mrs. Wright had no idea who Arian was, and she initially thought he was a guest of the Mcguire family.
How could he suddenly come looking for Sylvia?
