Harold smirked, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he said, “Charlie, go ahead and put on your show. I bet your so-called friends are nothing but low-life gangsters and nobodies. Do you really think you hold any influence or power? I doubt you could even manage to invite any notable figures!”


    Wendy jumped in, adding to the mockery. “A loser like Charlie excels at bragging. If no one shows up for your opening ceremony, you and this office will be theughing stocks of Aurous Hill. Just imagine how you’llnd jobs or projects then!”


    ire listened to the insults without revealing her emotions, but inside, anxiety began to bubble up.


    Opening ceremonies are crucial events that highlight apany’swork connections and resources.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    A strong turnout, especially with VIP guests in attendance, signals a robust businesswork and foundation. This kind of news travels fast within their circles, painting thepany as reliable and trustworthy.


    On the contrary, ack of guests would be like broadcasting to the world that thepany has no connections or resources, deterring anyone from seeking their services, even for the smallest projects.


    It would truly be a boon if someone from Emgrand Group could attend the ceremony, but ire was unsure if they would even consider it.


    Just then, Lady Wilson interjected, “ire, take a look around. It’s almost ten, and we’re the only ones here. I doubt you’ll gain anything from this tiny office. Why note back to Wilson Group and assist us? You’d have job security, and it beats enduring the cold stares from others.”


    Upon learning about ire’spany opening, the Wilson family reached out to some former partners with whom they had good ties, asking them not to attend. They readily agreed upon discovering ire’s connection to the Wilson family and dered they would not work with her again.<fn8b15> Find the newest release on FindN0vel</fn8b15>


    This was why Lady Wilson was so sure there would be no distinguished guests today. It would not only humiliate ire but also give Lady Wilson more control over her going forward!


    ire was indeed feeling anxious and restless; she bit her lips and shifted nervously.


    Charlie took her hand gently and said earnestly, “Dear, so what if there aren’t any guests today? I’m here with you, and that’s what really matters!”


    ire turned to him and nodded, a smile breaking through her anxiety as warmth enveloped her heart.


    Lady Wilson, however, scoffed, “Charlie, you’re way too confident, aren’t you? What good are you here for? Can you really attract any big shots? How will you help her secure projects and jobs? Without Wilson Group’s backing, you’re just leading yourselves into a dead end!”


    Charlie replied with arrogance, “ire’spany is destined to thrive! Wilson Group during its prime is nothingpared to what ire will achieve, especially now that it’s teetering on the edge of bankruptcy! Outperforming you guys will be a walk in the park for her!”


    “Hmph, what a cocky brat!”


    Lady Wilson felt deeply insulted by Charlie’s im that Wilson Group was on the brink of bankruptcy and that ire could surpass them even at their best. She angrily mmed her cane on the floor and snapped, “You’re just a loser who married into our family—how dare you raise your voice here!”


    Charlie grinned slyly. “Raise my voice? Haha, I’m just speaking the truth. If you don’t believe me, let’s wait and see!”


    Harold sneered, “Alright, Charlie, we’ll see whether you can actually grow thispany.”


    As time ticked by, the opening ceremony drew closer.


    ire felt increasingly flustered, her eyes darting between her watch and the main door.


    Charlie attempted tofort her, but his efforts fell t.
