Chapter 22 A big banquet
Perry courtyard.
A black Rolls-Royce stopped slowly at the front door. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Excuse me, who are you coming for?”
Sherry asked politely as she saw a young man in a nice suit when she opened the door.
The young man smiled and said, “Madam, I am sent by Mr. Edward to pick up Ms. Yuri to join the
banquet at the Starry Garden hotel.”
“Starry Garden hotel? Mr. Edward? The richest man in Cona?” Sherry looked astonished, but delighted
when the young man nodded.
Recently, the banquet event had spread all over Cona. Those who got invited were all distinguished
families. Sherry had never anticipated that Lewis Clan would send a car to pick her daughter up to the
banquet.
Sherry warmly ushered the young man into the house, handed him over to Terry, and hurried over to
Yuri’s bedroom.
“Lewis Clan had sent a car to pick us up to join in the banquet held at the Starry Garden hotel, which
might be held to celebrate your engagement with Edwin,” Sherry said in a frenzy of excitement.
Curling up and watching television in the bed, Yuri was also shocked as she listened, “So soon?”
“A young man is waiting downstairs, what are you hesitating for?” Sherry shrieked.
“Yeah…”
Yuri screamed, jumped off the bed, and started putting make-up and dressing immediately.
“Mom, when dad will come back? I miss him.”
In the other bedroom, Lara was playing the pendent around the neck and asked pitifully.
Yuri hadn’t seen her father ever since Baron sent her back home three days ago. She was upset these
days but didn’t know the reason until Lara mentioned their father.
Yuri feared her father would leave without saying goodbye, and didn’t come back for a long time as he
did five years ago.
“Dad is busy working now. He will come home soon.” Tracy hugged Lara tightly.
In her mind, a man came upon, leaving from Perry Clan with her in his arms in the rain. Perhaps, she
would never forget how warm it was.
“Tracy, a car sent from Lewis Clan to pick us up to join the engagement banquet of Yuri and Edwin.
Hurry up to get yourself dressed. We can’t be late.”
Sherry rushed in as they were afraid of missing the man.
After an hour, they all got ready.
The eyes of the young man bulged as he saw these beauties. But he quickly darted away, for they are
distinguished guests of Lewis Clan. He dared not stare at them for long.
Today, the Starry Garden hotel was so bustling, for almost all noble people in Cona were there.
Luxury cars flooded into the parking lot.
Henry got off from an Audi. There was a Rolls-Royce on the left side, and a Bentley on the right side.
“Hurry up.”
Henry urged, for he didn’t want anyone knew he was coming in an Audi.
“Granddad, Edward’s car was here!”
They saw a A88888 Rolls-Royce stop at the door of the hotel as they walked out the parking lot.
Henry said at once, “Phillip, come with me. Let’s go and greet Mr. Lewis.”
They bent slightly over to wait for Edward to get off when they got to the Rolls-Royce.
But the next moment, the hollow smile on their faces vanished.
It was not Edward getting off but Tracy, Yuri, Lara and Sherry. Sherry was angrily for they were forced
to leave Perry Clan, but now she was so glad to see their posture.
“Henry, thank you for your order to force us away from Perry Clan; otherwise in the future, we might
have some useless relatives. As you know, what any girl married into a powerful and wealthy family
fears the most was the harassment from her poor relatives,” Sherry said on purpose, in an ironic voice.
“What do you mean?” Henry said with a blank face.
“Sir, don’t you know yet?”
Sherry said, with happiness in her eyes, “Half a month ago, Lewis Clan came to our house with
precious betrothal gifts, including a villa in Star and Moon Properties. We are about to move in soon.
For the legacy house of Perry Clan, it was broken and shabby. How can my daughter live in there as
the daughter-in-law of the richest family?”
“You…” Henry coughed.
“Granddad!”
Sherry’s words were so mean that Henry almost fainted, and his family quickly got close to him to
steady him.
Sherry finally seized a chance to vent her anger. After that, she never felt so relaxed.
With the guidance of usher, Sherry and her family sat on the front table.
This astonished everyone at the banquet. They all discussed which the family was.
People who sat on the front seats must be powerful or wealthy.
“Excuse me, which seats are we supposed to sit in?”
Without any ushering, Phillip grabbed an usher over and asked at once.
The beauty usher took the invitation letter, took a glance at it, and said with a blank face, “This is your
table number, can’t look for it yourself?”
Starry Garden Hotel was one of Lewis Clan’s properties, and even if that was an usher, they dared not
to mess around with.
Perry Family easily found their seats, for it was right near the door of the hall. The table was obviously
smaller, and the seats were also simpler, compared to others.
But Perry Family still kept their heads up while they didn’t know how poor they looked in others’ eyes.
At eight o’clock, the banquet began.
With a melodious music, the hostess went up to the stage.
After addressing to the audience, the hostess smiled and spoke, “We invite you to come here tonight to
announce three things.”
Because the invitation letter was anonymous, no one knew who the sponsor was until now.
Everyone in the hall was prick-eared as the hostess spoke.
“The first thing is that Cona branch of Brone Group will start operating today. The Group has already
reached a long-term agreement with Samho Group. We hope we can cooperate with everyone here in
the future.”
Once the first thing announced, everyone began buzzing.
For Samho Group, everyone here knew about it, for Tracy, as the first beauty in Cona, was the
president of the company before.
However, the company was controlled by Perry Clan. Was Perry Clan qualified to cooperate with Brone
Group?
If Brone Group treated Perry Clan as a partner, but why did they place Perry Clan at such an awkward
position?
Perry Family felt even more awkward as everyone in the hall looked confusedly at them.
Until this moment, Perry Family was aware of that they were invited here, not because they were
treated as a potential force to cooperate with, but because someone wanted to humiliate them.
“Granddad, they made it too far!” Phillip snapped in exasperation.
“Shut up!”
With a leaden look, Henry said in an undertone, “We shall bear the shame as we are here already. If
we mess around here in front of the public, we shall disappear in Cona before long.”
“We, Lewis Clan, are willing to cooperate with Samho Group.”
A sudden voice sounded from Edward brought everyone back to reality.
“We, Wang Clan, hope to cooperate with Samho Group!”
“We, Johnson Clan, are willing to cooperate with Samho Group!”
“We, Lee Clan, are also willing to cooperate with Samho Group.”
…
Several men stood up to voice their wills in a row after Edward finished his words. They all were
masters from those noble families.
The people from Perry Clan felt so disgraced, for the Samho Group they had sold three days ago, and
now many noble families were willing to cooperate with Samho Group. They would see a sharp
increase in its market value after tonight.
“Ladies and gentlemen, for the cooperation, you can negotiate with Samho Group after the banquet.
But now, I want to announce the second thing.” The beauty hostess continued to speak suddenly, and
the noise from the crowd then faded.
“Today is the fifth wedding anniversary of a couple. In that very year, for some reasons, they were
forced to marry. The husband didn’t think he could deserve it, so he left without saying goodbye. It’s
been five years from that day on.”
“Three days ago, at 9Out Club’s auction, a mystery man bought most of the jewelries continuously with
a high price, including the Pink Star, a diamond ring worth 5 hundred million dollars. And he is the
husband.”
“Beep.”
At this moment, the stage curtain automatically opened, and a dozen of glass showcases showed up
under eyes of the public.
In every glass showcase, there was a gorgeous jewelry.
“Those jewelries are from the auction.” A loud voice sounded.
“Star Blue Necklace, the Pink Star diamond ring…”
All jewelries auctioning at 9Out Club that night was showcasing on the stage. Every item was priceless.
Some rich families in Cona were able to purchase those jewelries, but none of them was willing to do
so.
All women in the banquet, though some of them were from a wealthy family, were looking enviously at
those jewelries. If any woman had a change to possess any jewelry of them, let alone to have all of
them, she would feel satisfied for the rest of life.
Tracy, sitting in front of the stage, also stared at those jewelries enviously, and muttered, “The wife was
so happy!”
“Is today also your wedding anniversary?”
Yuri suddenly asked with a smile, “Tracy, don’t you think who the husband the hostess mentioned is
Baron? Perhaps, all these things are prepared for you?”
Tracy kept silent with a bitter look, shaking her head.
“You bitch, what the hell are you saying? Baron can’t buy all those jewelries.” Sherry said, taking a
testy glance at Yuri.
“Mom, remember what you have just said, and don’t regret it,” Yuri said.
“You dare to challenge me!” Sherry snapped with a smiling face.
At the moment, the hostess’s voice sounded impassioned again.
“Five years ago, this husband had never presented a gift to his wife due to poverty, and today he wants
to make up all the regrets. All jewelries here are prepared for his wife. Now let’s witness this happy
moment together!”
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Several lights shot down onto the hall.
When those lights gathered, they focused in the front of the stage at the extremely beautiful woman.
