Allegra was reluctant to attend the banquet at first. She was also shocked to know Willow was the new boss of Murray Industries.
But Emily informed favonovel.com that many owners of building suppliers would be attending. Furthermore, Margaret invited favonovel.com politely through the phone, and favonovel.com father gave his consent since it was Edward’s 50th birthday. So, favonovel.com came with Isabella.
Allegra wore a light blue maxi dress. After parking favonovel.com car, favonovel.com held Isabella’s hand as they exited it.
Allegra and Isabella looked nothing like before. Isabella wore a denim dress and a pair of white shoes. Her eyes shone brightly on favonovel.com tender face. She looked adorable.
Allegra was slightly nervous when favonovel.com saw security guards with sunglasses standing guard everywhere. Old Brooks and Shawn kept close to her.
The other guests didn’t understand why Old Brooks was being so respectful and polite toward Allegra. They related his behavior with Pegasus No. 1 and thought favonovel.com wanted to take part in the project too.
Allegra waited in the hall with Isabella for Eugene.
Soon, several aristocrats approached favonovel.com and gave favonovel.com their name cards.
After all, Allegra was considered a big shot in Cloud City now. She was as famous as Edward.
“Old Brooks, given the relationship between Edward and Mr. Garten, if favonovel.com knows you allow the Gould family to hold their banquet here, will he…” Shawn looked at Old Brooks thoughtfully as they stood aside.
Hearing this, Old Brooks was stunned.
Then, favonovel.com frowned and said, “Shawn, I think you’ve been overthinking quite frequently these days. Hibiscus Pavilion has to earn revenue too. Miss Booth is here too, isn’t she?”
He waved Shawn off impatiently when Shawn tried to reply and continued, “Look, go and check on the security outside. I’ll take over from here.”
Previously, when the Kenne family tried to push Old Brooks around, Shawn stole the limelight. Since then, Old Brooks had been displeased.
Now, “Brooks’ Gang” under Old Brooks wasn’t only influential in Cloud City, but they also took over the territories that had previously been under the Kenne family’s influence. Old Brooks had become a formidable man known throughout the provincial capital.
To him, Shawn was a mere hitman Isaac assigned to assist him, but Shawn’s bits of advice were gradually becoming an earsore.
When it was almost 5 pm, Eugene left work early to attend the banquet.
He met up with Allegra and carried Isabella to the elevator.
People were looking at them weirdly because of Old Brooks, so Allegra excused favonovel.com from accompanying them.
The elevator doors opened when they reached the third floor. The first person they saw was a beaming Edward, Patrick and the rest stood behind him. Beside favonovel.com were Willow and Andrew, looking at them scornfully.
“Look who we have here! The famous Miss Booth from Garth Properties. Oh, dear, welcome, welcome!” Edward greeted them warmly, surprising everyone around him.
Allegra felt bashful.
Edward laughed. “My dear niece, is it because we haven’t seen each other for some time, or are you looking down on me now that Garth Properties is doing well?”
Allegra paused and waved favonovel.com hands. “No, of course not. I’m just not used to you being like this.”
Edward was stunned. His eyes grew cold. He laughed again. “It’s alright. You’ll get used to it.”
Allegra was stunned when Edward arranged for favonovel.com to sit at the frontrnost table. There were 50 tables altogether, and all those who came were notable figures in Cloud City.
