He was perplexed and casual though. He had already sent an invitation to Emgrand Group, so Doris Young would
and must attend.
She was probably preparing the gift since she was not here yet!
Christopher put on a pompous expression and said," Well, do you still think you're so well connected?" 2
It was almost ten o'clock. If there were any guests coming, they would have arrived at the door by then.
However, the entrance was empty and quiet. Apparently, no one would show up.
Wendy said in a cocky tone, "Dad, the loser said it doesn't matter if they have no guests today, he alone is
enough. | wonder how powerful he is? Does he really think he's a somebody here in Aurous Hill?" 3
At this moment, the voice from the front desk resonated from a distance away. It seemed that she deliberately

"Announcing the arrival of Mr. Travis Lane of Lancaster..."
Travis Lane?
Charlie was a little bewildered. The last the had met Travis was when the White family brought Jack Yaleman
to set up the metaphysics competition and h
e killed Jack by summoning the Thunder Order. He didn't invite him to his wife's opening ceremony, why was he
here? 1
The Wilson family was equally stunned!
Travis Lane? The richest man in Lancaster? Why was he here?
As soon as Travis arrived at the door, he walked straight into the office where Charlie was standing. 2
The Wilson family exchanged surprise and peculiar glances with each other. Christopher walked ahead and said,
"I met a businessman from Lancaster a few days ago and | heard he's quite close to Travis Lane. Could it be that
he'd introducedto Travis Lane?"
Then, Christopher spruced up his attire and went ahead to greet him.
Lady Wilson and the rest of the clan didn't dare to be cocky. They followed him sheepishly.
As the chubby Travis walked into the office, he ignored Christopher, who marched forward to greet him. Instead,
he went straight to Charlie and said in a shrill tone, "Mr... Mr. Wade, I've finally made it." As everyone watched in
bewilderment, Charlie nodded calmly and asked, "Why are you here?"

Travis said respectfully, "Mr. Wade, it is your wife's new office's opening ceremony today. | must cto
congratulate you and your wife!"
Christopher caught up with them and interjected with a wide smile on his face, "Hi, Mr. Lane, you're here! Let's
go inside and have a chat. It's not appropriate for you to stand here and talk..."
Travis was trying to butter Charlie up, so he was agitated when someone interrupted their conversation. His
smiling face suddenly darkened and he squinted at Christopher like a king staring at a lowly peasant before he
said coldly, "Who are you? Don't you see that I'm talking to Mr. Wade?" 5
Awkward, Christopher cleared his throat and tried again, "I'm Christopher Wilson... May | know if Mr. Mark from
Lancaster even mentionedto you?" 1
Travis frowned irritatedly and said, "I don't know you and | certainly don't know any Mr. Mark. I'm here today to
congratulate Mrs. Wade on her office's opening!"
