Chapter 467
Everyone who arrived was on the initial guest list.
Wendy keenly cleared her throat and announced, “Welcome, Mr. L’Agnese from Joy Media Group, Ms.
Jenner from iHearte Entertainment, Madam Grande from Sunset Films, Mr. McDowell from Harvest
Media Group… to Angle Group!”
Businesspeople often prioritize their interests, and despite the various excuses claiming they could not
make it, they all rushed to the scene, possibly swayed by some persuasion.
In the last ten minutes, all the guests arrived, and Barbara hurried to assist Sheena in greeting them.
Lauren was furious, not only because of the multitude of people arriving but also because the entrance
was so crowded that no space was left. Sitting in her chair, she was engulfed by the crowd, almost
shoved into a corner. If not for her bodyguards supporting her, she might have stumbled.
Everyone was busy flattering Sheena, and no one paid any attention to Lauren.
Barbara gave her a cold look and remarked, “With so many guests on–site, I’m afraid Sheena and I
won’t have time for you. It must be hard for you to endure such humiliation. If you can’t keep up the act,

Lauren was outright insulted, and unable to accept the situation, she continued to mock in a hushed
voice, “Sheena, despite Elliot’s protection, what difference does it make? I heard he’s cruel to women,
has a weird personality, and is quite ugly. Taking care of him at the Jenkins family must have been a
tough time for you.”
Sheena chuckled, uninterested in engaging further with Lauren.
Rather than squabbling with Lauren, Sheena had more crucial matters to attend to the arriving guests.
Barbara, however, took a different approach. She looked calmly at Lauren and uttered sarcastically,
“Are you blind? Not only is he handsome, responsible, and caring, but he’s also gentle with Nana.
Feeling frustrated?”
Lauren was momentarily stunned.
How could this be so contrary to the rumors about Elliot?
Unable to discern if Barbara’s words were true or false, she tried another method of mockery,
deliberately raising her voice, “Maybe, but he deliberately skipped Sheena’s welcome–home banquet
last time, and now, he’s not even present at
2/2
this ribbon–cutting ceremony. I think he simply doesn’t care about you. This investment is probably
Santiago Jenkins’s decision, isn’t it?”
Many people at the scene heard her, sparking whispers and hushed discussions.
Elliot’s stance and Santiago’s stance were two distinct concepts..
While Santiago had long been a prominent figure in the business world, commanding respect from
everyone as the leader of the previous era, that was all in the past. After all, Santiago had retired,
relinquishing control, and now it was Elliot, the new authoritative figure in the Jenkins family, who held
the sway.
If Elliot disapproved of the engagement with Sheena, the investment in Angle Group might just be
empty words, as the final approval rested with Elliot, not Santiago.

Sheena remained silent. She did not intend to accept Elliot’s investment or use the Jenkins family’s
influence for publicity. However, she planned to discuss the matter with Elliot privately after the
ceremony.
Sheena refrained from contradicting the brewing doubt caused by Lauren’s words.
Mr. McDowell from Harvest Media Group took the lead in approaching Sheena with an apology, “I’m
sorry, Ms. Lawson, but we have some urgent matters at our company. We wish you a smooth
ceremony and all the best. We, from Harvest Media Group, will take our leave now.”
With one person leading the way, others quickly followed suit, apologizing to Sheena and making
excuses.
Sheena remained expressionless, nodding in agreement to each apology.
Lauren gloated, watching the scene unfold.
However, just as the sixth company was preparing to step forward and apologize to Sheena, the
distinctive roar of an SSC echoed from the fountain side.
All eyes instantly focused on this unique black limited–edition supercar, rumored to cost 11 million.
Moreover, it was said that not every wealthy person could own. it unless they had power and influence.
As everyone marveled at the car’s appearance, the door slowly opened.
