Chapter 506 A Grand Opportunity
Jennifer’s face suddenly turned pale. Such rumors were what she feared the most. “No, that’s not it,” Jennifer hurriedly explained.
Braxton dared not do anything reckless to Lana, so he simply questioned, “Ms. Collins, she and I are both single, so why are you stepping in between us?”
Lana would rather not waste her time on the two, so she turned and left. The place was already packed when Jennifer walked in with a heavy heart.
There, she saw Tyrone of the Campbell clan, Eleanor of Yund Group, and Oscar and Sebastian of Freedman Group. The local bigshots, Charles, Zayne, and Tyson, were also present.
After sweeping her gaze around, Jennifer stared into a corner for a while. Meanwhile, Donald was seated while he calmly watched the woman.
Instead of chatting with others, he simply sat there on his own like a lone wolf. Jennifer then abruptly looked away. “Sit here.” Braxton kindly pulled up a chair for Jennifer, who still seemed preoccupied as she sat down.
In the corner, Lana approached Donald and handed the man a cup of coffee. “I’m a little busy; I’ll find you later.”
The woman with the face of a supermodel had a skin-tight dress wrapped around her curvy body. Not only that, but she also had a pair of fair, slender legs that looked like they belonged to a supermodel.
“You do what you have to do. Don’t worry about me,” responded Donald, who only had one reason for being at the place, and that was to restart the Dragon Fide Villa project. Of course, many will try to stop me today. At least half of the Ten Prestigious Families will disagree with me, but that’s fine. I’ll beat up whoever dares to oppose me.
At eight-thirty, the scene began to quiet down until it eventually became dead silent. Everyone quickly turned around to look at the rostrum when they heard footsteps.
What they saw was a woman in white carrying a stack of documents as she walked to the rostrum with a cold look.
She then sat down before tying her hair up, revealing the light but tasteful makeup on her stern face. Her eyes seemed as though they housed a galaxy of stars.
“Everyone, I’ll be hosting the Economic Work Conference that’s held every five years today,” announced Melanie slowly before the reporters started taking photos.
Melanie was not nervous at all when she addressed the large crowd. In fact, there was an air of solid confidence about her.
At that moment, many stared at Melanie in awe, impressed to see how assertive the young woman was.
Like the others, Braxton was dazzled by Melanie’s confidence. If everything goes as planned, she’ll become not only my sister-in-law but also the future hope of our family! The Ten Prestigious Families will face a revolution that’s sure to bring about significant changes. Some will join the families, while some will fall away. If Melanie and Atticus get married successfully, Irving Group will remain on the top even if we do nothing. As long as Melanie remains in power, we might even become the top prestigious family!
Because of that thought, Braxton had already regarded Melanie as his sister-in-law, and nobody could change his mind about it.
Donald, too, was looking at Melanie.
After looking around, Melanie eventually focused her attention on Donald for a long while. However, nobody noticed it.
“The purpose of our conference this time around is to strategically adjust the economic structure of Pollerton,” voiced Melanie, moving her red lips slightly.
The crowd was silent as they waited for Melanie to continue her speech.
Everyone knew the conference was a grand opportunity for them because it would produce many billionaires and even make one of them the richest person in the country.
Melanie then continued, “We conducted an internal meeting a few days ago to take an in-depth look into the city’s situation. As we all know, the situation is very complicated. However, that also means there’s a great business opportunity waiting for us. Do you know why?”
