Chapter 927 Comparison Between Beauties

He stopped halfway and apologized, “Boss, I’m sorry for my faux pas.”

Natalie’s lips curled slightly over the phone as she replied, “No need for an apology. It’s not like you did it on purpose.”

“Okay.” Regaining his senses, Yandel inquired, “In that case, who would you like as your plus one for the birthday banquet?”

Natalie replied matter-of-factly, “I know you’re hoping for me to choose someone else, but just think about it; when we were in Chanaea, I could still trouble Ross. Now that we’re in Loang, you have become my only hope!”

Cognizant of the truth behind her words, Yandel had no choice but to resign himself to the task. “Understood.”

After ending the call, Natalie looked up at the sky and sighed.

It isn’t easy forming a habit. Neither is it easy to get rid of it too.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the banquet.

The event was held in Yaleview Tower, the tallest building in the city. From the entrance to the ballroom, the venue was opulently decorated, clearly a reminder to the guests of the host’s distinguished position.

Glistening chandeliers illuminated the path from above, while the walls were adorned with elegant oil paintings. The striking red carpet was made of pure wool and felt plush to every step. Even though the guest list wasn’t big, they were the who’s who of the city and naturally dressed to the nines.

Meanwhile, the head of the Jones family, Bridger, entered the ballroom, followed by his wife, Jada Goode, and children, Olivia and Jerry.

“Happy birthday, Carlos!” Bridger extended his hand with glee written all over his face.

After wishing Carlos the same, Jada didn’t forget to push Jerry and Olivia forward.

Carlos never liked the Jones family and had only tacitly agreed to the marriage. Nevertheless, he considered Olivia an eligible candidate for daughter-in-law simply because he couldn’t find any fault with her.

As for Amos, all he felt toward Olivia was disdain. As a gemstone supplier, he had provided Farrington Jewelry with plenty of opportunities, but Olivia had always failed to impress. Instead, she would insist on his continuous support by leveraging her position as his fiancée.

All this while, Amos didn’t mind the fact at all until Natalie’s appearance provided a basis for comparison. It was only then that Olivia’s mediocrity became jarringly obvious.

“Ammy, go chat with Olivia,” Carlos casually ordered.

Having no choice but to pretend to obey his father’s instructions, Amos led Olivia to the side.

Meanwhile, Olivia’s smile widened in anticipation of getting to interact with Amos privately. “Ammy, congratulations on receiving that piece of land.”

Ignoring her, Amos raised his wine glass to his lips as his gaze drifted toward the entrance. The only thing on his mind was the woman he was waiting with anticipation for.
