“I don’t recall Dahlia inviting you. Are you really so shameless?” Chris sneered.
“I invited Dustin. Do you have a problem with that?”
Natasha took a few steps forward. Her domineering stance made Chris take a few steps
back.
“Hmph! You’re a man that needs a woman to stand up for you? What a useless man!” Chris grimaced d
isdainfully. He added, “And you! You’ll regret it sooner or later, staying with this trash!”
“What does that have to do with you? Stay away from me!” Natasha snorted coldly. She
put her arms around Dustin and walked into the hall without a care.
“Stupid bitch! You’re so full of yourself! I’ll get you in bed one day!” Chris gritted hist
teeth as he watched them walk away. He couldn’t understand why someone as useless
as Dustin was so good with women.
“Chris, you’re here to join the fun too?”
A fashionably dressed man exited a Maybach.
“Hey! Isn’t that Jeff Anderson? You’re here too?”
Chris’s eyes lit up.
It was none other than Hunter Anderson’s son, Jeff Anderson!
“The Harmon family is launching a new company, so I had to come!” Jeff smiled.
“Jeff! The Harmon family is honored to have someone like you attend the opening ceremony!” Chris sta Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
rted to butter him up.
“Nonsense! Even my dad has to show respect before the
Steel Lady. What a business. prodigy! I’m nothing compared to her.” Jeff was very composed.
“You’re being modest.”
Chris smiled smugly, and quickly changed the topic. “Speaking of the Steel Lady, I’ve never seen her b
efore today. I wonder if she is as beautiful as they say?”
“Among the Four Beauties of Swinton, Natasha ranks first. Her beauty is unmatched. It’s a shame that
no man can get their hands on such an exquisite woman.” Jeff
lamented.
“Not even you?” Chris was stunned.
“Bullshit! I would be honored even to carry her shoes!” Jeff rolled his eyes.
He dared not speak informally of someone of equal status to his father.
“If even you aren’t worth it, what hope is there for the rest of us.” Chris sighed.
“To be honest, someone like the Steel Lady couldn’t care less about a man’s background. As long as s
he likes him, even a pauper could become a prince!” Jeff added.
“Someone so lucky wouldn’t exist!” Chris shook his head.
“That’s hard to say,” Jeff said with a chuckle, and continued, “Truth be told, I heard a rumor that the Ste
el Lady has found herself a boyfriend. She even plans to push him to the top in Swinton.”
“Huh? Is that true?” Chris was so startled his body quivered with excitement.
“Why would I lie to you about this? I guess you’ll be able to see it soon,” Jeff quipped.
“Who is so lucky to get her attention?” Chris narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with jealousy and admira
tion. After all, she was a business prodigy, one of the wealthiest people in Swinton. Not only did she ha
ve money and power, but she was also breathtaking. Such an exquisite woman was as rare as a four–
leaf clover.
“I don’t know who it is, but I’m sure if you could get on good terms with him, you would have a bright fut
ure!” Jeff reminded him.
“When
you put it like that, I really want to know this guy.” His eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, “Jeff, you’re qui
te influential. Can you get me an introduction?”
“An introduction? I have yet to be introduced and you want me to introduce you?” Jeff answered exasp
eratedly.
Before coming, his father had asked him to strike up an acquaintance with this new guy. As long as the
y could become friends, he wouldn’t have to worry for the rest of his
life.
“I’ve told you what I can. It depends on yourself to change your fate.” Jeff couldn’t be bothered to say m
ore. He waved his hand and entered the venue.
Chris smiled apologetically and trailed in behind. At this moment, he looked forward to meeting this per
son. Now that the Nolan family was facing bankruptcy, he could
get help from the Harmon family and overcome this matter if he could get acquainted with this guy.
Then he wouldn’t need to abscond with the money.
