Chapter 184: Rich Family
At night, a group of important figures arrived in this low-level Energy Zone. In the best hotel of the Energy Zone, countless business figures gathered here and held a grand banquet.
Almost all the tyc.o.o.ns in the Energy Zone had brought their sons here.
This was not a simple charity ball.
In the banquet hall today, the world’s top tyc.o.o.n, Hoses, was present. In order to see this important figure, all the rich merchants with high statuses rushed in.
At the same time, they had heard that Hoses’ two daughters would also appear at this party, so they brought their sons with them, hoping to obtain the favor of the two ladies.
If such luck really descended, then their family would truly rise to the top and become one of the richest families in the world.
Even if they could not gain the favor of the two daughters of Hoses, they wanted to win the heart of the younger sister of the richest man Hoses, the financier of the Waltz Group, Madam Maeve.
This beauty from a rich family was slightly more mature, but her appearance and aura were extraordinary. Furthermore, she had been single all this time.
If they could pair up with this Madam Maeve, the final result would be as good.
However, the two ladies at the banquet sat alone in a place guarded by more than a dozen bodyguards. The young men had no chance to approach them, much less win their hearts.
The young masters of the tyc.o.o.ns all focused their attention on that area, filled with desire.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they explained to the bodyguards, they could not get close to the two ladies. In the end, they could only shake their heads and sigh.
“Sigh, how can the daughter of the richest family in the world like us?”
“That’s right. I’m considered rich in this Energy Zone, but in the eyes of the other party, I’m inferior to an ant.”
“Unfortunately, I can’t display my talent, or else I would definitely attract the attention of a princess.”
“As long as I can marry one of the two, it will be equivalent to gaining tens of billions of a.s.sets.”
The group of youngsters all sighed inwardly, enjoying the bitterness of the wine.
…
Unlike the young masters who were sighing outside, the two daughters of the richest families were chatting happily.
“Sister, is what you said true?”
The younger sister, Nina, blinked her large eyes and looked at her sister in amazement.
From her sister, Nina knew what had happened a few days ago. The story of escaping death had shocked her, but later, after hearing that someone had saved her, she was interested in the young man called Lorne.
Especially when she heard that in order to save his sister, Lorne had actually lived in the slums with much difficulty. Although he had used all the savings in his family, he had not given up. Up until today, he had still worked hard for the sake of his sister’s life.
This att.i.tude alone made Nina curious about him. It was unbelievable that he could still maintain his composure in the face of her sister’s wealth.
Moreover, her sister had also said that apart from his poor background, this man was ridiculously perfect.
Be it appearance or personality, he was impeccable.
Hearing these descriptions, Nina was filled with desire for this man called ‘Lorne’.
If not for the fact that this was a party specially organized for her aunt, she even wanted to see the other party now.
“Of course.”
“Moreover, I have already helped him prepare the admission permit for the high-level Energy Zone. In two days, he can go to the Energy Zone where we live. However, we can’t let Father know about this for the time being, or else he will definitely be very difficult to deal with.”
Jessica took a sip of her wine, and her beautiful golden eyes could not help but glance at the young people in the hall. All of them were handsome young men in suits. Unfortunately, their greed and frivolity were too disgusting. It was still Lorne’s calm and domineering aura that was fascinating.
“Don’t worry, sister. This is a secret between us. I won’t tell anyone.”
Nina widened her eyes and looked at Jessica seriously, “Sister, we had an agreement in the past that we would marry the same person in the future. You haven’t forgotten about that, have you?”
“I didn’t forget.”
“You have to keep your word. If you have a boyfriend, don’t forget me!”
“Of course.”
Not only did Jessica purse her red lips, but her face also could not help but turn slightly red. In her mind, the scene of the three of them fighting had actually appeared. Furthermore, she had actually thought that if she had Nina to share the burden, she would at least be able to withstand that fellow’s attack alone.
This was a shameful thought.
However, Nina’s words also reminded her that the two sisters had indeed been inseparable. Their relations.h.i.+p was so intimate that they were almost glued together. Due to the fear that marriage would separate the two of them, the two had made a pact to find a man that both of them liked in the future.
In that case, should he really introduce Lorne to Nina?
Thinking of this, Jessica fell into deep thought.
…
“Brother, what do you think of what happened to Jessica?”
In the hall, Maeve, in an off-shoulder black evening gown, pulled Hoses to a corner and asked.
“It should be the Zamas family. They want to see the military leader before us and take the construction order for the ‘Oracle Bone s.h.i.+eld’ in the high-level Energy Zone.”
“Fortunately, Jessica is fine. However, I won’t let them off. It’s time to clean up these rats who like to hide in the sewers.”
There was no emotion on Hoses’ face, and his words were very calm. However, if anyone who had come into contact with him were present, their hearts would definitely jump, because if he said that he wanted to clear the other party, then he would definitely take action and achieve his goal!
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at where Jessica was and said, “By the way, Jessica was just attacked. She must have been shocked. Recently, I noticed that she has been absent-minded. There’s probably something on her mind. I want you to stay with her and help counsel her.”
“Alright, Big Brother. I’ll talk to her.”
Maeve nodded, then went to the sisters. From here, it could be seen that Jessica still looked troubled. That matter had probably affected her greatly, but she was unwilling to say it out loud. It seemed that she needed someone to talk to.
