Chapter 67
Layla’s face suddenly turned pale.
She was humiliated by Regina in front of so many people.
Having suffered such indignation, she muttered to herself, “I deserve more respect,”
“Mrs. Moore, what do you mean?” I’m kind enough to welcome you here. How dare you say su
you say such mean
words?”
Layla wanted to retort, but she realized her family still had to depend on the Moore family in many aspects.
Benjamin, her son–in–law, was still very useful.
Hence, she put up with it and said, “I also held an enrollment celebration banquet. I thought you were here to join our family. Since that’s not the case, I must have misunderstood!”
Regina glanced at her. “You’re not the only family hosting an enrollment celebration banquet today. I’m here to participate in the enrollment celebration banquet for the CEO of Glorious Group. Your family sure does know how to pick a date to coincide with others‘ celebrations. I don’t know if it is a coincidence or an outright move to humiliate yourselves.”
“Mrs. Moore, don’t say that.” Winslet frowned and defended her mother in a soft voice.
“Although the Larson family is indeed no match for the Moore family, we are no longer far behind. We are also moving in a good direction Winslet added with a smile. “Today, we are hosting 200 tables for the enrollment celebration banquet. Even Ms. Hayes and Mr. Lowe are here.”
Regina said, “How is that possible that Mr. Lowe is attending your enrollment celebration banquet?”
“It’s true. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the second floor and have a look.”
Regina knew that the banquet of the Glorious Group was on the seventh floor.
She was curious, but she still went to greet Madeline first. “Ms. Houghton, the Moore family has prepared gifts for you today. I hope you like them.”
Madeline nodded. Her attitude toward Regina was very cold.
However, Regina’s heart was full of excitement, even if Madeline merely nodded at her.
“My son was ignorant and hit you that time. I hope you can overlook the matter. The Moore family is looking forward to having more contact with Glorious Group. We all respect Glorious Group. It’s amazing that you can become CEO at such a young age.”
Madeline didn’t want to listen to the flattery. “Let’s talk about this later.”
Regina heartily agreed and went in with a smile,
Layla was surprised by Regina’s attitude, but it made sense when she thought about it.
After all, Glorious Group was one of the 500 listed companies that was on par with Vanguard Corporation

Layla thought of her attitude just now and asked, “Ms. Houghton, right? There is no one on the seventh floor. Why don’t you go to and have some coffee?”
Winslet didn’t want Alina to go.
With
th Alina around, she would look dull.
She was the female lead in today’s enrollment celebration banquet.
However, she knew of her mother’s intention of winning over Glorious Group.
Hence, Winslet said reluctantly. “Yes, Ms. Houghton. Let’s go to the second floor together”
Madeline siniled “Okay.
She had already guessed.
Before Brunswick arrived, he deliberately informed Madeline’s assistant.
He said that he had prepared a big gift
She was supposed to attend her enrollment celebration banquet. Why would she go to the second floor!
Undoubtedly, that would make people curious.
“Yes, but I’m afraid it’s going to be awkward for you guys later, Madeline said.
Winslet sneered to herself, “Does she think she will be able to steal my thunder just like that? She’s so full of herself?
How could it het The salflower needs green leaves. It’s also my honor to complement you, Ms. Houghton,” Winslet purred.
Madeline glanced at Winslet collly. “I hope you can laugh so happily later
The people in the other cars also went inside.
Nolan got out of the car, and someone was holding an unbrella for him.
He was covered under the umbrella and walked lightly. His old–fashioned clothes seemed out of place,
Winslet was stunned when he saw this man. “What a beautiful man!”
However, when she was still in a daze, Nolan had already come over.
She used her lips. Her throat was a little dry, and she couldn’t bring herself to say anything.
When she was about to speak, Nolan had already come out of the umbrella.
He reached out and put his hands on Madeline’s shoulder.
It seemed that the sunlight was a little dazzling, so she raised her hand to block the light.
Her tanned skin was glowing underneath the sunlight.
“Nolan,” Madeline raised her eyes and said, “They invited us to have a cup of coffer on the second floor. Shall we
Nolan’s gentle eyes fell on Winslet. In an instant, the luster in his eyes turned into darkness.
“Old” he muttered.

Winslet looked at the man and said nervously, “Hello, I’m Winslet Larson. I am your sister’s schoolmate. The second floor is very lively. You can gu upstairs and take a seat together.”
Winsler’s palms were sweating. It was the first time she had seen such a fine man.
He was manly, and yet not overwhelmingly se
She believed that he was a knowledgeable gentleman.
The car that he had just gotten out of was worth millions!
“If you wish to go, then I’ll surely accompany you” Nolan wrapped his fingers around the hair on Madeline’s shoulder Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Pity for her, for she could see their movements clearly.
A burst of sour jealousy rose from nowhere as Winslet thought. “How could such a beautiful man be so close to his sister?”
The elevator door sprung open with a ping.
In fact, it was only a few seconds.
However, a myriad of thoughts had already filled Winslet’s mind.
The banquet hall on the second floor was already full of people.
It was very lively
The chandelier was shining brightly, and the waiters shuttled through it.
The orange lights gave the banquet a luxurious and upscale atmosphere.
Everyone was wearing formal wear, and they were all familiar faces of the chamber of commerce

She smiled even more. “Have a seat. There are too many guests today. Please do not mind if I overlook anything”
