Chapter 1363 Facade of Integrity
Meanwhile, several companies associated with the Wray family tried to contact Kenton. They made call after call but couldn’t reach him.
This was because, at that moment, Kenton was still entertaining guests at a private
club.
The club’s decorations were exquisitely refined. There were bridges gracefully spanning over tranquil streams, calligraphy and paintings adorning the walls, and pianists hired specifically for the piano. Even the wine was served in crystal wine glasses.
The pianists were unable to see the customers in the private room as the dining area was designed with the utmost privacy in mind.
Those who were able to dine here rarely mentioned their identities. They dined on gourmet dishes, drank exclusive wine, and dressed in discreet clothing.
They could never outmatch Kenton in terms of wealth. But the authority they held was something Kenton could only dream of. Even if they didn’t hold immense power, having just the right leverage was enough for Kenton to achieve his goals.
The assistant standing next to Kenton began to pour drinks for the three guests. Just as he was about to speak, one of the guests blocked his hand from pouring the
wine.
The guest turned his gaze toward Kenton and said in a calm and measured tone, Mr. Wray, that situation shouldn’t have happened.”
He didn’t specify what the situation was, but everyone understood the implication. The incident at Club Solstice was bound to involve them.
Kenton had previously guaranteed with utmost confidence that there would be no problems. Now, the case was almost entirely sealed off. Even they couldn’t gather any information about it.
“Does the Wray family have plans to deal with this situation?” another guest asked. It’s not looking good for the district.”
Their language was polished and cautious. They were careful not to incriminate themselves, even maintaining a facade of integrity.
“Mr. Wray, you should know that we are firmly against anything that contradicts societal values.”

Kenton was a perceptive man. There was no way he didn’t understand their underlying concern. After all, these three individuals shared a common leverage he held over them.
“Don’t worry, my old friends. Since when has the Wray family messed up?” Kenton pointed up as he spoke. “That guy is well aware. The buzz about Club Solstice’s incident will die down quickly. It will all blow over soon.”
The three exchanged glances, and nodded in agreement.
One of them, however, was more cautious. “We shouldn’t be too complacent. This situation feels unusually secretive.”
“Alright, I’ll have someone keep an eye on it.” Kenton wasn’t worried about further complications.
Vanessa’s family had already received compensation and signed an agreement. What could go wrong? With the matter barely being discussed online, Kenton was confident that Club Solstice would be back to normal operation in no time.
The three decided not to pursue the topic any further.
Kenton tactfully pushed his wine glass forward. Besides the wine glass, there was also a long rectangular cigarette box.
“I remember you mentioned last time that you prefer this cigarette brand. I brought some for you this time. Take a look and see if they’re to your liking.
“And Hawke, I know your liver’s not in its best condition. I had someone bring this from Eldermire Peak for you. Take a look.”
Kenton had prepared something appropriate for all three of them. Each item in the boxes revealed that things were not as simple as Kenton had implied. The true value of each item was not as straightforward as it seemed.
Some were pleased and raised an eyebrow with a smile. “You really know how to please, Mr. Wray. I like this.”
“You can check it out when you get home,” Kenton said with a meaningful tone. He clicked his crystal wine glass with theirs. “So, about that matter I mentioned…”
One of the three put his wine glass down. I have to admit, Mr. Wray, your sources are indeed reliable. The documents have just arrived, and no final decision has been made yet, but it’s almost certain.”
