Chapter 484 A Private Banquet The sudden change left everyone at Tanum feeling unsettled. However, Ryan seemed to have everything well prepared, arranging the next steps.
Judging by how smoothly he proceeded with the upcoming tasks, Ryan had been planning this for a long time. His preparations were thorough and well- organized.
Perhaps this was the state of the company he had been aiming for. The previous Tanum had been limiting for Ryan.
He was a talented individual, and even overseas, he had a significant presence.
He had ambition and a desire to demonstrate his abilities when he first joined Tanum,
I could tell Ryan was someone with ambitious career goals. Otherwise, during his interview at Tanum, he wouldn’t have spoken those words to me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt seemed that I lucked out. To have such a remarkable person support me was a stroke of good fortune. That feeling of being pushed forward became clear at this moment.
This time, it was Ryan steering the ship, and I couldn’t help but feel like I was reaping the rewards.
I had complete trust in Ryan. He was my pillar of support, unwavering in his loyalty. He was the perfect business partner, needing a stage where he wouldn’t be tied down. That stage was Tanum, which belonged to me.
There was an unspoken understanding
| between us.
The clock struck 4 p.m. when Atlas called me, reminding me of the evening banquet and offering to pick me up for a change of attire.
I hadn’t expected that this “family” banquet was a small-scale celebration of Mr. Archie’s mother’s birthday.
Archie was well-known to everyone through television. He was a prominent official with a distinguished reputation. I realized I had been ignorant, never knowing that his family was in Foswood.
However, upon arriving at the Beringer residence, I discovered that what they considered small-scale was anything but. The attendees were all heavyweight figures, and I was fortunate to be there with Atlas.
Otherwise, I might never have reached this level in my lifetime.
In attendance, apart from high- ranking officials, there were renowned business owners. Everyone present at this family banquet was of exceptional standing.
I also spotted a few familiar faces, and Atticus was one of them. Today, he was accompanied by Liora, whom he rarely appeared with. This family banquet was quite an important occasion.
I felt pressured. Atlas had brought me here as a representative of his family.
It filled me with both joy and unease.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAmong the crowd, I saw Jared and Trinity. That man was not to be underestimated. He held a prominent position of power, yet he also sought
connections from various channels.
Atlas escorted me to meet the elderly lady. Rose Beringer was said to be extraordinary, a prominent figure in the business world who still held the reins of the Beringer family at her age.
Rose only had one son, Archie, in her lifetime. However, Archie didn’t follow her wishes to inherit the family business.
Instead, he pursued a career in politics, and he not only excelled but also climbed to a prominent position.
The Beringer family had two grandsons, the older one being a prominent judge while the younger one was still studying in Monora.
However, it was said that the younger grandson was the designated successor to the Beringer family empire and was being groomed.
The Beringer family prospered on the surface, but there were underlying problems. With only the elderly lady as the matriarch and Archie’s wife passing away a few years ago, the family’s future was uncertain.
When I saw the elderly lady, I was astonished. This couldn’t possibly be an 80-year-old woman.
Her hair was jet black, curled in large waves, and neatly arranged. Her face was refined and elegant. She wore a well-fitting dress that, despite being slightly plump, fit her perfectly. Rose wore no ornaments but exuded elegance,
[ couldn’t help but marvel. Would | have such grace when I reached her age? My eyes filled with admiration and I felt a desire to get closer to her.
