Chapter 2229

The heir of the Lake family, who had usually been arrogant to anyone, was speaking somewhat obsequiously to the

middle-aged man before him.

"Even Mr. Winters is here. The Lake family has developed so fast over the years that even Mr. Winters came to the

Lake family's manor!"

"Look at the Lake family's influence now. Even Mr. Winters, who's at the peak of power in Ocean City, won't

underestimate the Lake family!"

"Hehe, don't worry about Mr. Winters and the Lake family. Think about whether your birthday present today will

impress the Lake family!"

Many Ocean City's dignitaries had gathered in the manor. They were currently discussing Mr. Winters in low voices.

After having a little chat with Mr. Winters, Curtis led Mr. Winters to the manor and had him sit somewhere at the

front.

"Uncle Winters, have a seat first. I'll ask my father to keep you company!"

Curtis said.

However, Mr. Winters smiled and waved his hand, saying," Your father is the star today. How can you let the star

keep

the guest company?

"Go about your business. I'll sit here."

Hearing this, Curtis also nodded before returning to the manor entrance.

His face was full of excitement, seemingly excited about Mr. Winters' visit to the Lake family's manor.

"Hmph! I was worried Sean would cause trouble at Lake Residence. But with Mr. Winters at the Lake family's manor,

I can't wait for him to come.

"The Lake family's manor is packed with all of Ocean City's elites today, and our guest lineup is no worse than the

previous Victory Auction House. If he shows up, I'll see what he can do to get out."

Curtis hung his head down, a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

As time slowly went by, more and more dignitaries of Ocean City came to the Lake family’s manor.

Fortunately, the Lake family's manor was large enough that it did not seem crowded at all.

Any of the people sitting in the Lake family's manor right now was famous in Ocean City.

"Why aren't Old Master Davis, Old Master Carver, and Mr. Quartz here?"

Sitting in the front row, Mr. Winters had a surprised look as he asked the patriarch of a family beside him.

The patriarch paused slightly before glancing cautiously at the Lake family members not far away. Then, he

muttered," Mr. Winters, you don't know. Old Master Davis, Old Master Carver, and Mr. Quartz all had some conflict

with Curtis the other day at Victory Auction House's auction.”

As the patriarch recounted the events at Victory Auction House's auction, Mr. Winters was given a full account of

what happened.

He nodded understandingly and said meaningfully, "That Sean Lennon has some things up his sleeves. He got these

three families to take his side when he had only come to Ocean City a while ago.

"Interesting young man. It will be interesting if I have a chance to meet..."

Hearing Mr. Winters' words, the patriarch smiled helplessly.

The patriarch thought, 'Sean has a grudge against Curtis, but you still want to meet him. Aren't you afraid of the

Lake family overthinking it?'

However, with Mr. Winters' identity, he did not need to care what the Lake family thought.

Even if the Lake family had an opinion, they would not say anything to this man, let alone do anything.

"Haha, I'm just saying, but don't let Old Master Lake hear it, or he'll overthink."

Mr. Winters glanced at the man around him and said with a smile.

The patriarch shuddered and immediately said, "Aren't we talking about history, Mr. Winters?"

Mr. Winters gave a satisfied smile at that.
