Chapter 539

Mrs. Wright hurriedly looked toward the door and saw several cars pullup in front of Golden Restaurant at the same time.

Inside the lead car, the door was opened and Mayor Cody stepped outfirst, followed by Franklin and Sylvia.

And inside the ones behind were some of Mayor Cody's men, and thelast car was the six students who were sponsored to study in town.Mayor Cody was dressed in a gray suit and looked very elegant. Assoon as he looked up, he saw Mrs. Wright in the doorway. Mrs. Wrightlooked at him with red eyes, "Cody!"

"What are you excited about? We are an old married couple.” MayorCody laughed brightly and patted Mrs. Wright's shoulder. "Don't makeeveryone laugh at us."

Sylvia took Franklin's arm and the two of them approached Mrs. Wrighttogether, "Sis, it's been a long time."

"Sylvia..." Mrs. Wright felt a pang in her heart, "Didn't you come back afew days ago to go to that meeting or whatever? Why did you run to thedisaster area again?"

"After attending it, I went back to the disaster area, or I wouldn't beeased.” Sylvia's face was so beautiful that it glowed in the midday sun.Franklin saw Mrs. Wright and called out softly, "Auntie."

"Franklin, you've lost all your weight. You've always been a picky eater,so I guess you didn't even eat well in the disaster area, right?"

Mrs. Wright was distraught, “Come on, let's hurry inside."

With that, she ordered Brayden, "Brayden, take everyone inside theirrespective boxes and make arrangements, do you hear me?"

“I know, Mom."

Brayden immediately began arranging for the rest of those personnel.Vita stood at the end of the crowd, looking at the lobby of themagnificent Golden Restaurant Hotel with an awe-inspiring look on herface.

It was really too luxurious!

She had never been in a place so beautiful and extravagant.

Her gaze fell on Brayden and Jenna, who were not far away.

The young girl wore a snow-white coat, inside the coat was a pinkdress, and on the feet were a pair of white boots. She looked like SnowWhite.

Vita then looked at her own plain clothes, and suddenly jealousy grewin her chest!

She followed the crowd into a private room.

The interior box was very luxuriously decorated.

Several of their students were alone in a box, and one of Mayor Cody'smen was a young man who accompanied several of them.

Because they were children from the village, they had never been tothis kind of place, and were somewhat amazed and restrained.

The young man greeted them with a smile, "Have a seat. This hotel isMr. Maskelyne's property. Feel free to eat whatever you want.”

Vita swept glances over a few other students with contempt.

They were so scared to move their forks.

At this time in another box.

Mrs. Wright and Mayor Cody and Sylvia got together.

“There will be a celebration party in the evening, and a reception fromthe top." Mayor Cody sighed, "Franklin and Sylvia need to be there bythen. You guys contribute a lot this time."

“Then why are you sighing?" Mrs. Wright frowned, a bad feeling risingup in her heart.

"I took credit for disaster relief, but..." Mayor Cody's eyebrows wereslightly knitted.

“I heard that someone was reporting me recently.”

"Pak!"

Mrs. Wright's fork fell to the floor and she looked at Mayor Cody with apale face, "How could this happen? Cody, you are white-handed andhave never done anything wrong to the country and the people, howcould someone report you?"

“I'm not sure. This matter needs more investigation." Mayor Codyhelped her get another fork, “You don't have to worry too much, honey.I've been getting merits lately, so maybe someone is jealous of me."“Let's hope so."

Mrs. Wright took the fork, but her eyebrows couldn't stop popping.Sylvia and Franklin looked at each other.

She mused for a moment and said, "Cody, do you want me to help youreplace out who is reporting you?"

"No, it's just a small thing." Mayor Cody waved his hand; he didn't wantto bother Sylvia. "You are busy enough. For the celebration party in theevening, you two must be careful. Too many senior officials will bethere. A wrong word will cause endless troubles.”

"Don't worry." Franklin nodded, grateful for Mayor Cody's reminder.“It's a good thing Brayden didn't become a politician, or I would reallybe ..." Mayor Cody was depressed.

"Dad, why are you in such a low mood? It's been a long time since wegot together. We should be happy!" Brayden spoke up to comfortMayor Cody.

Jenna picked dishes for Mayor Cody, "Godfather, you do not think toomuch, it's fine as long as we are together.”

"You two are sweet." Mayor Cody reluctantly smiled; disaster relief wasa good opportunity to get credit and merits, and it meant everyonecraved for it.

He had been in the limelight this time, and it made sense that some ofhis rivals wanted to drag him down.

It doesn't matter if he goes down, he's just worried about thesechildren.

Especially Brayden and Jenna.

Sylvia and Franklin were strong and powerful, so he didn't have toworry about them.

The more he thought about it, the more chaotic and uncomfortable hisheart became.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the box.

A few of them looked at each other. They had clearly instructed thewaiter not to disturb. Who was outside?

Mayor Cody said in a deep voice, "Come in."

The door of the box was pushed open. A 17 or 18-year-old girl standingat the door. The girl was dressed plainly and looked very lovely.

She was holding up a glass of wine and walked in carefully.

Sylvia looked at the girl calmly. She had an excellent memory,immediately recognized that she was the girl who gave fish and shrimpto Mayor Cody.

What was she doing here?

She was wondering when she heard the girl's voice ring out, "I ... I'dlike to propose a toast to Master Brayden for saving my life the otherday."

Brayden shot an expressionless look at her, "Who are you? When did Iever save you?"

Vita's shyness and excitement instantly vanished.

The smile on her face also froze, "Don't you remember? I ... It was youwho shielded me that day when the boulder fell.”

“Is there such a thing? How come I didn't know?" Brayden remainedunresponsive.

Jenna whispered, "Yes ... Where else would you have gotten that headinjury?"

Brayden looked at Jenna affectionately. What a little fool.

Can't she see he's deliberately saying he doesn't know the girl?

"Well, Jenna said I saved your life, so I saved your life." Braydenremained indifferent, "It's just a small thing. You don't have to keep itinyour mind."
