Chapter 404: Banquet Begins, Princess D
Chapter 404: Banquet Begins, Princess D
When Ji Cheng heard the news from Uncle Ji, he was stunned.
What? Say it again, I didn't quite hear you, is this true?
Uncle Ji looked at Ji Cheng's puzzled face and took the initiative to explain to her the origins of Miss Aoguwei.
"Oguwei Horton was the master's student. She was a rare genius with ruthless means and sharp eyes, but later she left the Horton family and went to Country D..."
"She just sent me a message saying she would come to this party..."
After Uncle Ji's voice fell, Ji Cheng was stunned for two seconds. She had no objection to what the other party was going to do.
What shocked her was the true identity of this Oguwei. She was actually the wife of a prince of the royal family of Country D.
To put it simply, she was a princess, and this identity opened her eyes.
The princess is the princess.
If the other party wanted to come, she couldn't stop them. Let them come if they wanted to. She also wanted to witness with her own eyes this Princess Oguwei who was known for her ruthless methods.
I heard that before the princess's husband came to power, he had a bloody journey, but he managed to hold on to his position for so long, and no one dared to challenge his authority. This is enough to show how ruthless his methods were.
What a ruthless couple!
But I heard that the two were in a free love relationship, and the prince refused the royal marriage and chose the person he liked.
Although he did not have much support from his family when he took this position, the large oil mine in Oguwei's hands helped him a lot.
Oguvi actually has shares in this oil mine, but the percentage is not large.
But the Horton family has many large oil mines, which is also a considerable profit.
Her Holden is just a name. Her teacher gave her this name, which gave her a new life.
People should know how to be grateful. She is not so heartless as to take all these things for herself.
She already has enough now. One should not be so greedy as to fight for too many things that do not belong to him.
The Horton family held such a grand ceremony, and everyone who received the invitation was ready to go, showing their greatest sincerity and intentions.
Even the gifts have to be the best and most expensive ones, the ones that Ji Cheng would like the most.
Oliver, Yeft, and Samson, they would never be absent in such matters, and they even took the initiative to ask Ji Cheng if there was anything he needed help with.
Ji Cheng knew nothing about this, but Uncle Ji said it was not necessary. She thanked him for his kindness and politely declined his help.
Everyone in the major families was looking forward to this day, and it finally came.
Houghton Manor, which had never been open to outsiders, opened its doors to them, and they were finally able to step into this place openly.
The tall castle appeared before their eyes, and the traces of time on the walls seemed to show them the history of the Horton family's rise to power over the past few hundred years, completely extinguishing their inner ambitions.
I dare not even do any small actions.
After all, this is the Horton family's territory. If they are discovered, their reputation in Port Hopeland will be ruined, and it will even be difficult for them to survive.
Without too much conflict of interest, no one would want to go to this final step.
After all, getting close to the Horton family would be of great benefit to them.
The head of the David family was naturally invited. He dressed up and walked into Houghton Manor nervously, followed by his daughter, Dorothy.
She was also very curious about Houghton Manor, but she didn't dare to make any drastic movements. She only dared to glance at everything around her.
When she looked up, she would meet some big shots who she had only seen on TV or in the news, but at this moment, they were standing not far from her and talking to people in a friendly manner, without any airs at all.
The people who appeared at the banquet made her involuntarily nervous.
Among them were many partners of the David family, as well as some business tycoons she had never met before.
In such a solemn occasion, no one would be so reckless as to seek death.
This also made her feel relieved and she no longer worried about those things happening. She waited for Ji Cheng to appear with great anticipation.
After all, she is the central protagonist of this banquet and the protagonist of the Horton family.
Ji Cheng, as the central protagonist, has not yet appeared. Oliver, Yeft and Samson took the initiative to help her maintain the undercurrents in the banquet.
Others are still willing to listen to what they say. After all, among the major families alongside the Horton family, none of them is really innocent.
It’s just a question of whether it’s done cleanly or not, and whether it can be discovered by others.
It was a grand event for the Horton family. As the ultimate admirers of the Horton family, the Zangwei and Rhodes families naturally could not miss this event.
When Zangwei received the notice from the Horton family, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He turned down his work for the next few days and dressed up to attend the event.
Loria was no exception. She had almost finished all the work at hand and transferred all the unimportant tasks to her assistant, and then went to Country K.
On the other hand, the Rhodes family would naturally go together.
When the two of them appeared at the door of Houghton Manor, they smiled sincerely and politely.
Zangwei still remembers that during the previous operation, this Loria received a call from the lady, but he did not.
Just this one incident was enough to make him remember Luo Ruiya badly in his heart and he was very unhappy.
Although I was still a little unhappy to see him again, the lady had so many people under her, all of them were colleagues, so there was no need to make a fuss.
He was just a little unhappy and wanted to compare where he was lacking.
When Luo Ruiya saw the smile on the other person's face, she just smiled indifferently and didn't say anything more.
She actually didn't know where Zangwei's malice towards her came from, and she didn't seem to have done anything to offend him.
As someone from a big family, she had to be polite and she took the initiative to greet Zangwei.
Zangwei responded to her with a smile, but still walked away quickly, thinking that he was angry just by looking at her.
Roger didn't understand what was going on. He looked at the other person's back as he left. He quietly approached his sister and asked in confusion, "Did you offend him?"
Hearing this, Luo Ruiya shook her head slightly, her voice low and hoarse, with a hint of excitement, "No, have I done anything rude?"
Roger followed her words and looked her up and down at her overall outfit. "No."
Loria nodded heavily and stepped solemnly into Horton Manor.
——The Little Theatre of Thoughts
Ji Cheng: I have already begged for forgiveness~
Zangwei: What exactly am I lacking? I don't accept it!
Loria: Miss, here I come.
