NovelEnglishEver since the incident at Royal Karaoke, she has lost contact with Conrad Willis.
That pissed her off to no end. She felt that Wilbur was the one responsible for her problem. If he had not offended Conrad, there was no way Conrad would have ignored her.
Hence, whenever she thought of Wilbur, she would feel the rage well up inside her. She wanted to give him a good slap. How could she not be angry after seeing her ticket to a good life being messed up by Wilbur? Apart from her moping over the past few days, she got to know another young man named Thomas Saller at a bar.
Thomas had his own company, and it was worth several million dollars. He was quite well off.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlthough Whitney felt that Thomas' wealth was too little for her to be bothered, she learned of this banquet from him, and that all the participants were loaded. That was why she made Thomas do everything he could to get an invitation to the banquet. She wanted to try her luck.
Thus, she put on heavy makeup and even rented an expensive evening gown for the occasion. She really went all out.
Very soon, her gaze fell upon a man in his thirties.
The man looked average and was slightly tanned. However, apart from her, anyone who managed to attend the banquet was definitely wealthy enough. Furthermore, the rich always married late. She decided to give it a try.
She took a glass of champagne and slowly approached the man, standing right behind him. While he turned around, she took the opportunity to spill the champagne on herself and successfully got his attention.
After the two exchanged sapologies, they quickly got to know each other.
Whitney introduced herself as a university student studying finance and claimed that she was there to broaden her horizons.
With a sincere attitude, pretty face, and stunning figure, she managed to attract the man's attention. The two started to strike up a conversation.
Whitney probed around and learned that the man's nwas Lucas Draker. He had a sizable company that was worth several hundred million dollars. Most importantly, he was still a bachelor.
She was celebrating internally. Lucas was just the target she was looking for. With that, she put on an innocent façade and kept asking Lucas all sorts of questions in the guise of learning. Her move made Lucas feel a great sense of achievement. The two chatted happily and got much closer in a short time.

Lucas smiled and said, "Miss Yves is here. She's the top dog in Kardon Province's financial circle who controls a company with hundreds of billions in cash flow." There were many companies with assets worth over 100 billion in Dasha, but there were not many apart from Cape Consortium that could achieve a cash flow of over 100 billion. With that kind et fgutput, it would be possible to make several billion in profit each year Therefore, a company with sufficient cash reserves like Cape was a goal that many major corporations could only dream of. Faye was quite a terrifying figure in Kardon Province's business circles. To be frank, a company like Lucas' would barely qualify to attend this banquet. He might know of Faye, but she surely would not know about him.
Whitney was filled with envy as she watched Faye being welcomed into the hall by applause from the attendees.
Her life would be perfect if she could live like that.
Whitney wondered what kind of man such an amazing woman would pick as her husband. Whitney believed that man must be quite an extraordinary person too.
Under Whitney's envious gaze, Faye walked into the banquet hall and started chatting with a group of business moguls, including the government official of Seechertown.
There were only several people by Faye's side, forming a little circle.
However, that circle seemed to have an invisible barrier around it that prevented most people from nearing it.
Meanwhile, the handsman had been standing by Faye's side ever since entering the hall. He must be ssort of bodyguard. Nevertheless, having such a handsbodyguard by her side also drew in quite a bit of speculation from the crowd.
