Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 74: Commotion Before the Event

Outside the venue, at the entrance of the Manchester Central Convention Complex, lots of people gathered to

witness the spectacle. Most of the upper echelon of Manchester's business community would be gathering here

shortly. Those who were invited would arrive in due tand enter the venue. But many small businessmen who

couldn't manage an invitation canyway to catch a glimpse of the wealthier businesspeople in the area.

Seven brought their children to broaden their horizons.

They waited patiently outside the venue, curious to see who qualified to attend such a high-level banquet. Some

even brought binoculars to see more clearly. The security guards at the venue were used to this kind of

commotion every year. They usually ignored the crowd unless someone tried to forcefully enter or sneak in

without an invitation.

Suddenly, people saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom arrive and stop in front of the security checkpoint. A middle-aged

man and a young woman stepped out of the car and approached the gate.

"Isn’t that Dylan Webb? The chairman of the Webb Group?" someone exclaimed, pointing in excitement.

"Yeah, | saw him in a televised interview once. But who's the woman beside him?"

"She's Imogen Webb, his eldest daughter," another answered knowledgeably. "Rumor has it, although Dylan still

holds the title of chairman, Imogen is the one actually running the group’s operations."

As Dylan showed his invitation to the staff and walked through the gate with his daughter, a Lamborghini

Aventador pulled up next.

Gasps filled the air. "Wow, look at that beauty," someone whispered.

From the sleek red sports car emerged a striking woman in a form-fitting red gown.

"| recognize her—that’s Jessica Saunders, the CEO of Saunders Group!"

"She looks stunning. That dress must be designer," another said, eyes wide.

"Fits her like a second skin," someone murmured.

Jessica, poised and graceful, handed her invitation to the staff and entered. The car drove off to the designated

parking area, leaving onlookers in awe.

"Look, two more cars are approaching. | wonder who it might be this time."

"It looks like all the expensive cars will be here today. Aston Martin Rapide and Mercedes-Benz G-Class this time."

"Man, you know your cars," someone in the crowd commented.

"I run a few car showrooms," the other replied with a grin.

"Can | have your card? I've been thinking of buying a new car."

"Here, take it. My nis Milton. When you visit my showroom, call me. | can arrange sdiscount for you.

But in exchange, you have to tellthe guests’ names here. Seems like you know quite a few."

"I'll do my best," the man chuckled. "But sof these guests are so private, they barely ever show up in

media."

"Whatever. Just tellwhat you know."

"Look! Arlo Baldwin and his wife just cout of the Aston Martin. He's the chairman of Infinite Group. Behind

them is Rory Barrett, CEO of SpiderWeb Technologies. | don’t know the girl beside him... might be his daughter or

secretary."

A blue Ferrari rolled up next, drawing even more attention.

"Look, son," a father said to the teenager beside him, "That man is Harrison Reed, chairman of the Sapphire

Group. And the woman with him is his sister, Maisie Reed. Our family business has relied on their company for

years. If you ever run into them, show proper respect. Of course, all the other people entering the complex are

powerful too. Be respectful to them as well."

"Are they the most powerful people in Manchester?" the boy asked.

The father replied with a serious face,

"These businessmen at the banquet

are powerful, but they're not the most

powerful. There are many wealthy

individuals who neither have the time

nor the mindset appedr in public.

He paused, then added, "Always remember... there's a sky beyond the sky you can see. There will always be

someone more powerful than the person in front of you."

One by one, invited guests continued to arrive. A long queue formed in front of the gate. Security staff worked

hard to minimize the waiting tfor these economic big shots. Despite their efforts, the queue grew longer as

tpassed.

Guests exited their cars at the gate and walked in by showing their invitations. It was just a formality. Those who

could afford such luxury cars would never cuninvited and embarrass themselves.

For onlookers, it looked like a luxury car showdown. Bentley Mulsanne, Range Rover, Rolls-Royce Cullinan,

McLaren 720S, Mercedes-Maybach, Porsche Panamera Turbo, BMW 7 Series, and Audi A8 L could be seen

queueing up one after another in front of the gate.

Several journalists were trying to capture photos of the cars and the businessmen from afar. They were hoping to

find something newsworthy. Inside the venue, all photos and recordings were strictly prohibited. No journalists

were invited to this banquet. However, a few media owners were seen entering with formal invitations.
