Chapter 373

“It was Master Clarke from Clarke Group,” Vernon said with a smile.

Wynn froze, her entire body stiffening. It was Master Clarke again.

Who was this Master Clarke? Why did he keep helping her?

Just then, a group of people walked through the main doors to the hall. They carried with them animpressive presence, led by a middle-aged man with a beer belly and a red face. The man greeted themany tycoons from Riverdale.

It was Ronald Harris from Harris Enterprise!

That was the main player in Riverdale’s real estate scene!

The moment he showed up, the spotlight turned to him for a while. Many people approached andgreeted him.

When Hudson saw Ronald walk in, his expression darkened. He turned to his assistant and said, “Go,get Ronald Harris over here.”

He was very angry that Ronald and his son had taken credit for the young master’s actions. Theynearly pulled the wool over the young madam’s eyes.

Over on his side, Ronald was still greeting the others when a man in a suit ran up to him and said, “Mr.Harris, Mr. Cash is asking for you.”

“Mr. Cash?”

Ronald paused and promptly left everyone else behind, strolling up to Hudson.

“Oh my my, Mr. Cash! Your reputation precedes you, I’ve been dying to meet you.”

Ronald had plenty of experience in property, and he knew how to strike the exact tone.

This was the chairperson of Capital City’s Clarke Group, of course. He was Master Clarke’smouthpiece.

Furthermore, he had spent many years with the Clarkes, and he had plenty of clout and connectionswith the family.

If Ronald could win Hudson’s approval, his company and personal finances could get anunprecedented boost in the future!

In fact, he might even be able to surpass Millenium!

“Hmph!”

Hudson did not look pleased with him at all, asking coldly, “There’s something I have to ask you, Mr.Harris.”

“Please go ahead, Mr. Cash.”

Ronald was somewhat confused. What was happening here? Why did he feel like Mr. Cash was nothappy with him?

“Do you know this person?”

Hudson asked, pointing at Wynn who was in front of him.

Wynn gave Ronald a polite nod in lieu of a greeting.

Ronald glanced at Wynn and immediately beamed, saying, “Oh, young Wynn. You’re here too? That’sgreat, Joel will be over in a moment.”

Wynn turned to look at Ronald as he greeted her. With a small smile, she asked, “There’s something Iwant to ask you. After Beacon Pharmaceutical got into trouble for breaking that contract back then,were you and Joel the ones who helped us through it?”

“Wait, Beacon Pharmaceutical?”

Ronald quickly remembered the matter his son had asked him to help with. The name he mentionedseemed to be Beacon Pharmaceutical. “You must be kidding, Wynn. Joel did ask me to look into yourcompany’s crisis back then, but there’s only so much I can do. I couldn’t help you at all. Are you madabout me because of that?”

It really was not them!

Joel had lied to her!

Why?

In that moment, though, Wynn secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, if it was Joel who helped her, she would owe him a favor. How was she supposed to pay itback?

She did not want to get involved with Joel anymore, lest Philip grew angry at her.

Right on cue, Joel showed up flashily in the party hall, dressed in a handsome suit.

When he swept his gaze across the crowd, he saw Wynn chatting merrily with his father.

She was as beautiful, elegant, and graceful as ever!

She was practically a pearl shining in the crowd.

Joel straightened out his suit and strode up to her, his expression gentle as he said, “You’re here too,Wynnie.”

“And this is?”

Hudson frowned slightly as he asked.

“This is my son, Joel, Mr. Cash. Pardon his behavior.” Ronald’s face was burning up slightly. Somethingfelt wrong here.

“Hi, Dad. Mr. Payne, Mr. Cash.”

Joel immediately greeted the old chairmen with a nod.

The men nodded back, but the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Nevertheless, Joel only had eyes for Wynn now, so he did not notice the tension in the air at all.

Wynn was in quite a bad mood right now. Her expression cold, she looked at Joel and said, “There’ssomething I want to ask you, Joel.”

“What is it, Wynnie?”

Joel said with a smile. He was not blind, so he could tell that Wynn did not look very pleased right now.

What was going on here? Why did everyone look so cross?

“After what happened to my company last time, you’re the one who asked Mr. Harris here to help me,right?” Wynn built up to the crux slowly.

Joel paused. Why was she suddenly asking about that?

He looked at his father, who was giving him weird looks to try and convey a message. Joel then lookedat Wynn and said with a smile, “That’s right, Wynnie, I did ask my dad to replace someone to help yourcompany. But don’t worry, it wasn’t a big deal, so you don’t have to harp on it. It was all thanks to Mr.Payne’s help as well, or else I would’ve been quite lost.”

“Really?”

Wynn was quite furious now, but she asked again.

“Of course, Wynnie. What’s the matter with you? My father is right here, you can ask him.”
