Chapter 756

Seeing the familiarity between this young man and Mr. Mcguire, it wasclear that he held a significant position.

"Sylvia is inside,” Mrs. Wright muttered numbly as she accepted the giftArian handed her. "Thank you."

"Uncle Mcguire, I have a long-lost friend in the Wright family, so I'llhead over there first."

Arian said and proceeded towards the Wright family's area.

Members of the Mcguire family felt nothing but bewilderment, pain, andembarrassment.

Even Arian had gone to the Wright family's banquet?

Mr. Mcguire was seething with anger and felt a deep sense ofdiscomfort.

Sylvia? Who on earth was Sylvia?

And to call her a friend!

Blake Rees’ presence was one thing, but Arian, too? Were they allinsane?

What did the Wright family represent? Wasn't Cody merely a formerofficial in Larro? He had only recently been released, lacking anysignificant position, power, or money.

Mr. Mcguire was fuming internally, ready to return to his own privateroom.

Next to him, Mrs. Wright also prepared to return to her private room.The time was getting late, and it was almost time for dinner.

Suddenly, a car skidded to a stop in front of Balfax Hotel.

Everyone turned to see a car, an Audi A6, which was known for beingan official vehicle. A young man rushed out of it, causing Mr. Mcguire tofurrow his brows and stop in his tracks.

“Isn't that the president's assistant?"

"Yeah... he seems to be in charge of personnel transfers in Urgford,and many high-ranking appointments are communicated by him."

Mrs. Wright, upon hearing the hushed discussions, speculated that thisimportant young man had come to the Mcguires for some reason.

She continued walking without stopping.

Mr. Mcguire, on the other hand, was pondering whether this young manhad been sent by the president to show respect to the Mcguiresbecause of their prominent family business.

He immediately put on a friendly smile and approached the young man.“Jorge! Hello, hello!"

Jorge glanced at him, his tone void of warmth, creating a stark contrastwith Mr. Mcguire's enthusiasm. "Mr. Mcguire, I'm sorry, but I have anurgent matter to attend to."

Mr. Mcguire's smiling face froze in place as he watched the young manwalk briskly to Mrs. Wright and then stand in front of her.

"Mrs. Wright, may I ask if Mr. Wright is inside?"

Mrs. Wright looked at him with surprise. “Yes, he is. May I inquire aboutthe reason?"

"Oh, it's like this," the young man said with a polite and respectful tone."Mr. Wright was wrongly accused, so the president believes that suchan upright official shouldn't be overlooked."

Upright official...

What did that mean?

Mr. Mcguire's face darkened as he stared at the scene, baffled byJorge's request.

Did this imply that Cody could make a comeback?

Could he get a promotion and become wealthy again?

A sense of unease began to creep into Mr. Mcguire's heart.Meanwhile, in the Wright family's private room, it was more like abanquet hall rather than a simple private room. The MI6 agents and afew brothers from Mr. Mcguire's circle, who had attended the Wrightfamily's dinner, had primarily come out of respect for Mr. Mcguire'sface. They had also hoped to earn some favors from Mr. Mcguire.They were aware that very few people had come to the Wright family'sdinner, and so they had come to make up the numbers.

However, as the guests kept arriving, one more distinguished than theother, the group of young gentlemen stared in shock and trepidation.They were simultaneously amazed and anxious, feeling relieved thatthey had followed Weston to the Wright family.

If they had gone to the Mcguire family, they would not only haveoffended Mr. Mcguire, but they would also have missed the opportunityto meet these distinguished individuals.

In the room were representatives of Urgford's major families: theDawson family, the Rees family, the Bennett family, and even the Rayfamily, the Saunders family, and the Howlett family.

The group of young gentlemen, especially when they saw Carolyn,were utterly astonished.

Her accomplishments in managing the Mcguire Group had becomelegendary throughout H Rovirsa. She had taken the company to newheights, and her achievements were known far and wide. Now, she wasdining with the Wright family.

Leaving her little sister, Katie, and coming to the Wright family...

They were dumbfounded!

Cody's banquet was extraordinary this time, at an unprecedented level!"Weston, why didn't you tell us beforehand that Blake and Arian wouldbe coming? These two... they are considered...” one of the younggentlemen, who was beginning to get anxious, said. "I'm gettingnervous. What do I do if I need to toast them? They call Arian the “Godof Wealth." I... What if they ignore me?"

Weston observed the arrival of both Blake and Arian without showingany surprise on his face. He was even less surprised when he saw bothmen heading toward Sylvia, wearing a smug expression that said, “Itold you so."

He looked at the gathering of influential figures, and a faint smiletouched his lips. He seemed carefree and said, "My boss called andasked me to come along, just to fill in the numbers. How was Isupposed to know so many people would show up?"

Even he had no idea that so many prominent figures would attend theevent.

The presence of the Bennett family didn't surprise him, nor did that ofthe Howlett family. However, he never expected so many others tocome.

This was genuinely shocking!

Cody's relatively small banquet had drawn such a distinguished crowd?Blake was renowned for his low profile, and Weston was well aware ofthat. Arian, Alby, and the rest of them were equally hard to invite.Normally, it would require a significant event to bring all of theseindividuals together.

Yet here they were, all assembled at this event.

MI6 agents themselves seemed somewhat bewildered by the situation.As these big shots entered, each of them enthusiastically greeted MissAndrews, displaying familiarity and excitement. It's quite impressivehow much charm Miss Andrews holds!

"Wow! This is unbelievable," Vaughn murmured. "Miss Andrews"connections are no less impressive than our Mr. Maskelyne's!"

Before he could finish, he noticed Franklin leading a group of mentoward their seats. Those people...

It wasn't just Vaughn; others noticed too.

Their eyes were instantly fixed.

"Gosh! Isn't that the female boxing champ, Summer Justice? Sherecently destroyed that person who disrespected our country... Oh, Iforgot that woman's name!"

Vaughn couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

Did Summer know Mr. Maskelyne?

During that time, Twitter and short videos were flooded with contentfeaturing a female athlete who humiliated H Rovirsa. In response,Summer had calmly said, "My fists do the talking!"

Then, during the competition, she turned her opponent into a joke andwent on to win.

"Wow! It's unbelievable," Vaughn whispered. "Miss Andrews’connections are just as impressive as our Mr. Maskelyne's!"

Just as he spoke, Franklin arrived with several men and beganarranging their seats.

Those people...

It wasn't just Vaughn; everyone had their eyes locked onto them."Gosh! Isn't that Summer Justice, the female boxing champion? Sherecently humiliated that person who disrespected our country... Oh,what was that woman's name?"

Vaughn couldn't help but exclaim.

Did Summer know Mr. Maskelyne?

Back when the Twitter and short video platforms were flooded withvideos of a female athlete humiliating H Rovirsa, Summer hadresponded calmly, saying, "My fists do the talking!" Then, during thecompetition, she had turned her opponent into a joke and won thechampionship.

“It seems... she and Mr. Maskelyne are like master and disciple, right?"Jasper casually added before getting up. He saw Mrs. Howlett wavinghim over to their table.

"Don't go, is that Peter Marshall, the top legal ace? I heard he retired afew years ago because he had a super impressive disciple,” Vaughnwhispered while holding onto Jasper.

Jasper playfully nudged him. "You bet. That disciple is our Mr.Maskelyne. Don't drag me, I'm going to replace my mom."

Vaughn hesitated for a moment. “Your mom?"

Then, he watched in disbelief as Jasper, who had a similar social statusto him, took a seat at the Howlett family's table.

"Oh, God! Does Jasper even have an alter ego? My heart is broken!"Peter's arrival almost brought a new wave of excitement to the entirebanquet.

The country's most famous lawyer, the legal giant, Peter Marshall,received greetings from many as they stood up.

Peter smiled and said, "No need, please be seated, everyone. Youdon't have to be polite. I'm here to support my disciple.”

As he spoke, everyone was shocked and turned their gaze to Franklin,who sat beside him.

Franklin, with his graceful and striking presence, exuded an aura ofnobility. When he looked at Peter, his face was tinged with respect.“Teacher, please take a seat.”

"Hey, Cody, it's a good thing you could make it. From now on, all thisbad luck should be behind you," Peter patted Cody on the shoulder."Come on, everyone, don't be too formal just because of me. I'm eagerto connect with young people.”

As he said this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, Brayden, Mrs. Wright, Tiana, and the old Mr. Bennett,among others, all had their phones constantly ringing and buzzing.Many people were inquiring if they could still come and were curiousabout how many big shots had arrived.

Were they still in time to catch “the last train"?

They might regret missing this gathering of top-notch bigwigs for therest of their lives.

However...

None of these people were given the courtesy they were seeking. Theyall instinctively silenced their phones.
