Chapter 37: Banquet Invitation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Bryce was about to go out when an assistant hurriedly ran over to him out of nowhere with a luxurious-looking red invitation card that had words embossed in gold on it.
“Chairman, quickly look at this!”
After Dominic grabbed it and took a careful look at the contents of the invitation card, there was a look of joy on his face. He exclaid, “Heaven is really blessing the Carters! Bryce, co and take a look. This invitation card alone is embossed with gold. Clearly, the person who sent this invitation must be very wealthy! Although the sender is not stated, he must be extraordinary!”
“Grandpa, I think that this extrely costly high-class invitation was probably sent by the mysterious tycoon who spent tens of millions at the auction the other day! He also sent an invitation to the Carters. Clearly, he must have been paying attention to us and probably even has a good impression of us! Grandpa, we can be saved this ti!”
Bryce was also overjoyed as he held the invitation card in hand and looked at it repeatedly, as if the opportunity for the Carters’ coback was on it.
“Yes. On that day, you must perform well and strive to make this mysterious tycoon favor our family. Once he does, we no longer have to fear the Stardust Corporation!”
The Carters soon made their people spread the news that their family had received the invitation card, causing so families who were still thinking about severing ties with the Carters to hesitate. There were also so small families, who had not been able to wait to announce terminating their cooperation with the Carters, that hurriedly visited them in a bid to repair their relationship.
All of a sudden, Bryce and Dominic were much more confident.
Soon, it was about ti for the banquet.
“I knew that wastrel wouldn’t be up to anything good. He only stayed at ho for a few days, and now that I asked him to go fetch so water, he’s gone missing again!” Karen rebuked incessantly with an apron around her waist.
At this mont, a luxurious Bentley pulled over outside the Carter residence, and a chauffeur wearing a black suit and white gloves stepped out of the car.
“Um... who are you looking for?” Karen couldn’t help but be stunned when she saw the chauffeur’s deanor.
“Hello. I’m the chauffeur sent by Mr. Sawyer to pick Miss Carter up for the banquet at the Intercontinental Hotel.” The chauffeur in the suit bowed respectfully.
Karen was a little stunned for a mont. But she imdiately smiled gleefully when she thought of sothing. “You an Mr. Ethan Sawyer? You’re here to pick us up for the banquet?”
“Yes, Madam.”
Karen was so elated that she didn’t know where to put her hands.
She knew that over the past two days, many families in Orange County had received a mysterious and posh-looking invitation card. The event the invitation card was for was set for tonight at the Intercontinental Hotel in Orange County.
Due to the fact that the invitation card itself was very posh and those who received an invitation were all mbers of the upper class of Orange County like the Carters, who showed the invitation off after receiving it, many families of slightly lower status than them hurriedly tried to suck up to the Carters again even though they were initially distant from them.
The power of an invitation card alone was trendous.
Karen didn’t expect to be invited too. Furthermore, they were invited by Ethan Sawyer, the richest man in Orange County. Could it be that...? At the thought of that possibility, Karen was overwheld with euphoria.
Imdiately after telling the dignified chauffeur to wait a mont, Karen turned around and dashed into the house and into Charlotte’s room.
“Charlotte, good news! The Sawyers have sent soone to pick us up to go to the banquet!”
Charlotte was playing a video ga on her computer. When she heard this, she asked in surprise, “Banquet? What banquet?”
“Ah, this is the banquet that has been the talk of the town the past two days! This banquet must be held specially for you! It’s the engagent banquet for you and Ethan Sawyer’s son!”
Karen was so excited that she pulled Charlotte up from the computer desk and exclaid, “Hurry up and get changed into so pretty clothes! Ah, why do the Sawyers love surprises so much? They should at least inform us in advance so that I can get you a few pretty gowns!”
Charlotte was shoved toward the closet by Karen while still being dumbfounded. “Mom, did you make a mistake? Why is there suddenly an engagent banquet? The Sawyers didn’t send anyone to discuss with us previously either.”
Karen pinched her daughter’s face. “Silly girl, the Sawyers have already sent their chauffeur to our door, and he’s waiting to send us there. Do you think I would be mistaken? The Sawyers are the richest in the county, and they’re just different. They just like giving us sudden surprises!”
With joy and shyness on her face, Charlotte began changing her clothes under Karen’s urging.
Although she didn’t know what Ethan Sawyer’s son was like, she knew that she’d only benefit from the engagent because he belonged to the richest family in the county. Besides, the Sawyers had even sent such hefty betrothal gifts to them. This was proof of their sincerity!
In another room, Cheyenne was watching so cartoons with Alia.
“Mommy, where did Daddy go today? Why isn’t he here?” Alia suddenly turned her head and asked.
Cheyenne was stunned. She reached out to tap her daughter’s upturned nose. “Haven’t you been spending ti with your daddy the past two days? Why do you want to see him again even though he’s only been absent for a bit?”
“Yes! I love it when Daddy is at ho with you and . I like it when we’re all together! Just like in the cartoons! It’d be wonderful if I get to see him every day in the future too! Mommy, don’t you think so?” Alia’s eyes glistened with joy as she looked at Cheyenne.
Cheyenne was at a loss for words.
Lucas had been staying at ho to play with Alia lately, and he would look at her with a gentle gaze in his eyes from ti to ti.
However, Cheyenne didn’t know how to face Lucas.
Every ti she saw him, Cheyenne would be reminded of when he reached out to pick her up from the puddle of water on that cold rainy day, as well as his warm embrace.
While Cheyenne was in a trance, soone suddenly knocked hard on her door. “Cheyenne! The Sawyers sent soone to pick us up to attend the engagent banquet for Charlotte and Ethan Sawyer’s son! Hurry up and get dressed. We’re attending it together!”
Cheyenne was extrely surprised. The Sawyers hadn’t sent anyone to their ho ever since they sent hefty gifts the previous ti. Why was there a sudden engagent? They didn’t know what Ethan Sawyer’s son’s personality was like yet!
