Around 11 in the afternoon, the guests slowly filled the banquet hall.
“Mr. Ruben of the Rubens has arrived!”
“Avien Group’s representative has arrived!”
“Gus Trading’s representative has arrived!”
Someone was announcing the guests’ arrivals at the door.
Those who came were big shots in Neptuna. Other than those who couldn’t expose their identities, all the famous people were there. The scene was even grander than Jean’s first meet-up in the past. After all, this was Scarlet’s first time hosting a banquet.
“Who do you guys think Ms. Quinn is going to introduce today? What status would they have?”
“Lower your voice. We shouldn’t make any guesses. But I feel they must be at the provincial level!”
“Come on. The Stuarts have the Steeles supporting them, but Ms. Quinn isn’t afraid at all. I feel that person must be from Centurio!”
“It’s possible. I can’t believe I have the chance to see Ms. Quinn’s distinguished guest. What an honor!”
Once the guests entered, they started to gossip in their groups, and there was admiration in their eyes.
“Skylar Stuart and Ben Stuart have arrived!” There was another announcement at the door.
Everyone looked over at the same time and saw Skylar and Ben in suits.
Skylar looked delighted, while Ben looked depressed. His secret had been exposed to the world, and favonovel.com wished favonovel.com was dead.
However, the crowd still gathered to greet them. Even though Scarlet was the host, the Stuarts held more authority in Neptuna now.
“Mr. Stuart, I went to visit yesterday, but your secretary stopped me. Can I make an appointment with you?”
“Mr. Stuart, please support my business in the future. I’ll show you my greatest sincerity.”
“Mr. Stuart, my dog is getting married next month. I would love to invite you ”
The crowd couldn’t stop flattering him.
Skylar raised his head proudly and smiled. “I’m not going to talk about business today. I’m here to support Ms. Quinn. Let’s talk about other things tomorrow…”
“Has anyone seen Remus Cosby?” Ben suddenly asked. He looked around, but Remus was nowhere to be found.
The crowd gasped and felt strange hearing Ben speak. Someone even glanced at his body.
“Mr. Stuart, that bastard wouldn’t dare come if favonovel.com knew you were here.”
“Yes. Even if it’s rumored that Neptuna Hotel was purchased by him, favonovel.com would have wanted to give you space when favonovel.com heard you’re coming.”
“Remus Cosby has no right to be here!”
They started to flatter Ben. However, Ben’s expression became gloomier, as favonovel.com wanted to take revenge today. He wanted to make Remus a useless man in front of everyone.
Skylar frowned and seriously said, “Ben, remember that one must always stay calm in big situations. Remus wouldn’t dare be here knowing that you would come. Don’t make that face and smile, got it?”
They were here to show support, so it wasn’t appropriate to show such a glum face. In the end, Ben forced an ugly smile.
“Dad, you’re right. I have to smile!”
Just then, there was another announcement at the door. “The underground king of Neptuna, Anthony Mark, and Remus Cosby, have arrived!”
Instantly, the hall was silent, and everyone looked at the entrance again.
Remus was in a suit and looked energized. He didn’t seem scared at all. Beside favonovel.com was Anthony, in a wheelchair.
“Remus!” Ben’s eyes were flushed with anger. He couldn’t hold it back, and favonovel.com rushed toward Remus.
With a twisted expression, favonovel.com scolded, “You bastard! How dare you come to this banquet! Do you know how much you’ve humiliated me? I’ll make sure you die horribly today!”
