Chapter 58

Author: Lord Leaf
Douglas had no intention to do such a thing, but Lily was overpowering his decision and he had no choice but to compromise to her shenanigans.

However, the attendees were not surprised at all. When she announced how much each gift was worth, they could judge how well or bad their old classmates were doing after graduation. After all, comparison and jealousy were human nature.

Then, Lily started the announcement.

“Thank you, Jack Brown, for your one thousand dollars!”

“Thank you, Bella Walsh, for the pair of gold ingots!”

“Thank you, Ola Rivers, for the beautiful vase!”

“Thank you, Clinton Tucker, for your ten thousand dollars!”

The first few gifts, whether money or physical items, were mostly worth around one thousand dollars. Suddenly, when it came to Clinton, his ten thousand dollar monetary gift sent a shock wave across the restaurant.

Ten thousand dollars were a big amount for the opening ceremony!

Many people looked at Clinton with amazement and praised his generosity.

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6965

    Kelly nodded and said, "Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Charlie Wade, and this is his wife, Claire Wilson. They are both close friends of mine and Ms. Fox.Then, turning to Charlie and Claire, she said, "This is Mitsui Nagayasu, vice-chairman of the Mitsui Group board. Mitsui Group is the official organizer of this concert."Nagayasu could tell from Kelly's mannerisms that Charlie and Claire were not only close friends with Kathleen, but they also held considerable influence with her. He had tried his best to invite Kathleen to the party and the concert, but she had never caved.However, although Kelly was attending both events as Kathleen's representative, Nagayasu had clearly heard her saying that if Kathleen had known Claire and Charlie were coming, she would definitely change her mind. That clearly demonstrated Kathleen had a special connection with the couple.Hence, without waiting for Charlie and Claire to speak, he bowed his head at them respectfully, "Pleased to meet

    While the main event, which was Tanya, had yet to arrive, all present were elite businessmen. They weren't there to fawn, but to make money.So, even as they hovered around Kelly to chat her up, what they truly wanted was a partnership with Kathleen.But unfortunately for them, Kathleen had never been interested in showbiz and never accepted Mitsui Group's many invitations.Still, the elite were surprised that two of Kathleen's other friends were present despite Kathleen herself being absent.And judging from how respectful Kelly was to the pair, they were definitely close friends of Kathleen's, or at least closer than Kelly was to Kathleen.On the other hand, Miki's mind was broken as she gaped at Charlie, as she simply couldn't understand how he could be Kathleen's friend.They were talking about Kathleen Fox, the head of a trillion-dollar dynasty. Mitsui Group's wealth was child's play in comparison.Miki's face paled as she remembered how she had dissed Charlie and Claire, a

    Kathleen was interested in an investment in Japan because the diplomacy between the nations meant relaxed tariffs and other regulations. Moreover, American elites always thought highly of Japanese elites, and many were willing to retire in Japan as well.With her wealth and connections in the States, Kathleen knew that it would be a lucrative business after seeing how obsessed her grandfather was with his survival. The profit margins would be like nothing ever seen before if she exploited the market for retirement in Japan, if not outright deathbed care.From where she stood, if she ran the project flawlessly, that meant she would get to invest in a solid piece of property, making money off sales or rent, be it office buildings or luxury apartments. Her family had never counted on making a quick buck anyway, and they always stuck with snowball strategies.Once Japan had been built into a retirement spot for foreign bigwigs, that would mean an endless source of profits.Having come

    Not giving Claire the chance to refuse further, Charlie dragged her along toward the crowd and Kelly.Kelly was at the center of the crowd, with each person holding their champagne flutes and listening to her speak eloquently. Even Miki could only watch her admiringly from the very edge of the crowd.That was when she caught sight of Charlie and Claire approaching out of the corner of her eye, followed by Loreen and Miki's cousin, Sachiko. Her brow creased right then, and she stared at Charlie intently to watch how things would play out.When Charlie reached the edge of the crowd and was about to call out to Kelly, Miki was smirking as she strode up and warned very loudly, "You're not supposed to be here, Mr. Wade."She really didn't have to be that loud to persuade Charlie to leave, but she did so deliberately to draw everyone's attention and capitalize on the situation. Since her grandfather, the head of the family, was also present, she could use the opportunity to take Sachiko

    Sachiko had no comeback despite Miki's diss, but she wasn't keen on arguing or keeping things awkward.Turning to Loreen, Charlie, and Claire, she quickly smiled at them to ease the awkwardness. "Let's get a drink over there! Come on!" Miki laughed coldly, seeing that Sachiko was trying to bail. "What, did I hit the nail on the head? Well, let me give it to you straight—I'm going to tell Grandpa as soon as I'm done here. So, you'd best pray your unseemly friends don't make Tanya uncomfortable, or you would have brought shame to the family!"With that, she turned to leave and headed to the middle of the room before Sachiko could argue.Sachiko quickly apologized to Loreen, Charlie, and Claire, "I'm really sorry! Miki's a cousin, but she's always been overbearing and a little brusque in the way she talks. Please don't take it to heart!"Claire and Loreen smiled, shaking their heads to tell her that it was fine.On the other hand, Charlie's attention remained on Miki.Although Mik

    Charlie was stunned by Miki's bluntness—should she really say such things out loud?But she did, so Charlie wasn't planning to speak in riddles either, replying, "I am unemployed, only offering Feng Shui consultancy from time to time to make some money. If you have any such requests, I definitely can help."It was only then that Miki realized Charlie was not being humble.Frowning for a moment, she soon smiled in amusement. "There are similar things here in Japan, but I'm afraid it's a niche if not downright undesirable. You're not getting clients from the elite circles here."Then, turning to Claire, "And what do you do for a living, ma'am?""I have a design studio of my own. Just opened it recently," Claire replied."A workshop? Where? Oskia?" Miki pressed."Yes—in Aurous Hill," Claire replied.Miki actually considered for a moment that Claire was a famous fashion designer in Oskia, but she had never even heard of Aurous Hill. It could only mean that it was a second-rate ci
