Daisy Ginger agreed and made a call to Jas Shelton, who was sketching with Erin in the outskirts, informing him about today’s gathering.
Jas Shelton was in the wetlands of the suburbs, and even if he drove back now, it would take more than three hours, missing the ti Christopher Woods had set. Daisy Ginger contacted Christopher Woods to explain Jas Shelton’s situation.
Christopher Woods didn’t ask for much and simply said that the family must be present today, then hung up the phone.
Daisy Ginger inford Jas Shelton and sat in front of her desk, feeling sowhat inexplicably curious.
Elder Shelton was advanced in age and rarely went out, especially for such a family outing al. Daisy Ginger and Jas Shelton had been married for three years, and aside from family reunions with the Shelton family, it was the first ti attending such a grand gathering.
She pondered but couldn’t figure out what Elder Shelton intended today, so she decided not to concern herself further and returned to reviewing the company’s accounts.
Because Elena Raven had been diligently practicing her acting skills lately, Daisy Ginger found herself with more free ti, no need to constantly run out for contracts, just handling so miscellaneous tasks at the company, enjoying rare leisure.
This was indeed thanks to Elena Raven. Director Carter signed a contract with Royal Entertainnt, offering a remuneration of a whopping eight million, which was exceptionally generous for a newcor.
While idly browsing the news, Daisy Ginger noticed that Tsing City was recently cracking down on illegal activities. The investor who had once drugged her was arrested, along with the implicated restaurant, and consequently, several connected directors faced scrutiny, being called in for police investigations.
Director Carter, however, for unknown reasons, wasn’t caught in the sweep and still had the funds to invest in films.
Having seen much of the entertainnt industry’s dark side, Daisy Ginger didn’t dwell on it, shutting down her computer at four-thirty and heading to the restaurant designated by Elder Shelton.
Daisy Ginger arrived half an hour early, and upon entering the private room, only found Christopher Woods there. His features, sharp and chiseled, carried a certain military sternness. Upon seeing her, he nodded in greeting, "Miss Ginger."
Christopher Woods was the son of Elder Shelton’s war comrade. After the comrade’s family fell into decline, Elder Shelton took him in to help manage the Shelton family’s miscellaneous affairs.
Jas Shelton once confided to her tearfully that after several investnt failures, Elder Shelton nearly considered giving the heirship of the Shelton family to Christopher Woods.
Fortunately, his marriage to Daisy Ginger and involvent with Royal Entertainnt preserved Elder Shelton’s faith in him.
Daisy Ginger clicked her tongue in disbelief. Elder Shelton was kindly but regarding the empire he built, he would rather pass it to an outsider than see it ruined in the hands of his grandson.
Truly the mark of a forr soldier!
Also puzzling was how a man as iron-willed as Elder Shelton could raise soone like Jas Shelton, who relied on others...
"Has Grandpa Shelton arrived?" Daisy Ginger found a seat, smiling at Christopher Woods.
"Grandpa will co with the guest." Christopher Woods poured her a glass of water. "About ten minutes more; if you’re hungry, I’ll get you so snacks first."
Daisy Ginger shook her head, "I’m not hungry yet." She was a bit curious, "Who is the guest?"
Soone worthy of Elder Shelton personally hosting a banquet and requiring the presence of the younger generation.
Christopher Woods’s cold eyes glanced at Daisy Ginger’s innocent expression, then replied, "A guest crucial to the future developnt of the Shelton family."
That important?
