Female Novel
Chapter 1766
A few days later, Freya's court judge had collected all the evidence that we had brought up. If everything went well, Stephanie would be taken to prison, even if she was pregnant.
On the afternoon of the same day, as soon as I returned to the office, I received an invitation for the anniversary banquet of the X-Forbes Group. It said, "We would like to invite Miss Arianna Reid to the fifth anniversary reception banquet of X-Forbes Group."
The intention of the invitation was clear. They wanted me to represent Reid Law Firm, which would divide the relationship between Hendrix and I. Hendrix and Serene's gossip had not died down. Regardless of what Hendrix had planned, the media must have received permission from Serene and the Forbes family to go ahead with it, so they were not afraid to spread it widely. My firm only started a month ago, and yet she was already eager to meet me. This was definitely thought out carefully.
Previously, Aaron had revealed Matt's crimes, which was why he was not invited. I asked Fabian to attend the party with me. I had to dig up information about Serene before the reception, though.
She was an outstanding woman. At the age of twenty-two, she studied abroad, graduating with both Masters in Business and Management, and joined the Forbes family's company. Three years later, the Forbes Group's stock price doubled. Then, two years later, she had a fall out with Forbes Group, so she set up her own business. Within five years, her newly established X-Forbes Group had become the top in the construction materials industry, and its influence was remarkable.
There was a picture of Serene dressed in formal attire. She had a defined face with clear and bright eyes. She radiated ambition and courage. Unlike the girls surrounding Hendrix, no flaw could be found in her, which made her a more suitable candidate for Hendrix. At least, they both shared the same aspiration in their careers.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
"We have arrived, Miss Reid," Fabian announced.
I found myself in the field outside of the party venue after his reminder. I looked out of the window casually, and the reporters on both sides of the red carpet had already begun their ambush, flashes blinding the area.
As soon as we came to a halt, we heard a sudden
brake. A blue supercar had stopped behind us, and a moment later, the door opened, with Aaron stepping off the car in a tuxedo. As soon as he appeared, most of the cameras panned towards him. In a calm demeanor, he tidied up his clothes unhurriedly, then turned around and helped Emma out of the car, showing their love and harmony to the lenses. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
"Mr. Reid is really attentive to his sister," Fabian joked in a voice that only the both of us could hear.
Indeed, with Aaron around, I could save a lot of trouble. While they were being pestered by reporters, I sped up and walked in.
When we entered the hall, the emcee on the stage was halfway through Serene's introduction. "Let's invite Miss Forbes up to the stage to deliver her speech."
Following this, the spotlight instantly
et
shifted from the stage to the right. The limelight landed on Serene's slender posture, as well as the tal and strong figure beside her. As expected, they were both the center of attention. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
The atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds. With everyone's gaze focused onto the both of them, Serene slowly muttered a few words to Hendrix before helping herself up onto the stage.
Her speech was graceful, her
imposing manner putting most of the men attending to shame. She looked like the chosen
representative of women, and the softness and emotions in her eyes were revealed only when she looked ina certain direction. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Just as I was watching on with interest, I heard Aaron's mocking voice.
"Huh. She looks like she has never seen a man before in her life."
