All Chapters of The President's Darling: Chapter 471 - Chapter 480

After a moment of silence, Zach said, "If something's bothering you, don't hesitate to reach out. Bradly and I are here to lend a hand."Zach's words stemmed from genuine concern for James, as he knew his friend inside out. He understood that James was the type to bear his burdens silently, enduring any hardship without complaint. Even if his body was pierced with thorns, he wouldn't utter a sound of pain.Being strong was good, but as a friend, Zach hoped to share James' difficulties.This level of genuine friendship was rare among the four major prestigious families, where conspiracies and deception were common. However, the bond shared by James, Zach, and Bradly went beyond mere superficiality. It was a solid friendship grounded in trust and loyalty, unaffected by the intrigues that often characterized their social circles.James knew that Zach cared about him and nodded slightly, saying, "I know.""You better…" Zach said that, but for some reason, he felt a sense of unease i

Before the competition in the third area, Yolanda still tried her best to give some tips for the wine-tasting party. For example, the base liquor of a cocktail was usually mixed with whiskey, brandy, tequila, and so on. They might vary but would remain in this range. If the cocktails used in the competition were not too obscure, they could generally be guessed.Although it was a temporary method, Summer and Susanne kept it in mind. No one knew whether these seemingly minor tips would come in handy.The cocktail-tasting competition in the third area was a little different from the previous two. In this area, the competition was conducted on a 100-foot-long blue glass counter, with a bartender stationed every 16 feet. The whole scene looked spectacular.The most dazzling part was the scene of the bartenders mixing cocktails. It was like an acrobatics performance. The cocktail shakers swayed in their hands and moved in the air, sparkling upon the reflection of the shimmering light. T

The bartender was at a loss because he couldn't really ask the two bodyguards to escort Howe out. The bodyguards were just for show, meant to intimidate the ordinary aristocrats. In the face of a truly noble person, they were useless.It was at this moment that Susanne stepped in. She had just returned from somewhere else and was surprised to see Howe standing there. In a curious tone, she asked, "Howe, is that you? Why are you here?"Hearing Susanne's voice, Howe was startled. If there was anyone in the world he feared most, it would be his cousin, Susanne, especially now that she had leverage on him."Susanne, hi…" Howe greeted timidly."Yeah, hi. What are you doing here, Howe? It looks to me like you're getting in the way of Summer's competition. That's not very nice…""What are you talking about? I'm not getting in anyone's way," Howe answered with an awkward smile as he cautiously moved away.Seeing that he wanted to leave, Susanne made way for him, saying, "It seems that yo

Summer was baffled by why there were people helping her. Was it because she was pretty, and they just couldn't help but give her a hand? That certainly didn't seem likely. She soon realized that someone was indeed helping her. And that someone was sitting on a couch on the second floor of the event hall.Graceful in posture, with clear and bright eyes, James sat there, monitoring the situation in the lobby downstairs through his phone.Next to James was a middle-aged man in a blue uniform. He was around 40 years old. "Mr. Quigley, as per your orders, all the party staff have been bribed by us.""The Supervisory Committee members haven't noticed, have they?""Don't worry, Mr. Quigley. We've handled the matter discreetly. It definitely won't be discovered. Even if it is, you and Mrs. Quigley won't be implicated."James was satisfied with this and waved his hand, indicating for the middle-aged man to leave.The reason why people were helping Summer in the competition was because

Someone from the audience asked, "Mr. Ritter, who will serve as the judges for this competition?""Yeah, it's an important competition. It can't be judged by someone without qualifications."In response to the guests' inquiries, York laughed and replied, "The judges for this competition will be the four heirs of the major prestigious families, all of whom are from the younger generation. I believe everyone should have no objection to this, right?"The fact that the heirs of the four major prestigious families would serve as judges elevated the crowd's excitement to a new level. It was difficult to meet the heirs under normal circumstances, but now they were the judges for the wine-tasting competition, which naturally pleased the aristocrats.Many people were now thinking that they could perhaps seize this opportunity to connect with the heirs of the prestigious families. That would be truly fortunate.Amidst the lively atmosphere, Summer appeared solemn in the corner of the lobby,
