Sure enough, their presence was due to Charlie…


    ire couldn’t help but steal a nce at Charlie as he mingled with the other guests. A wave of jealousy began to bubble up within her…


    She was taken aback by the level of respect the esteemed daughter of the Moore family showed her husband. Charlie was shrouded in an air of mystery at that moment.


    Just then, Doris made her way over, extended her hand to ire, and said, “Congrattions, Mrs. Wade! Emgrand Group has several projects ready for you to discuss!”


    “Really?!” ire gasped, astonished.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    The excitement from securing a sixty million dor contract with Emgrand Group had already thrilled the entire Wilson family. The thought ofnding a six million dor contract from them would send her over the moon!


    Doris smiled back, “Absolutely, Mrs. Wade. We currently have nearly three hundred million dors worth of interior design and renovation projects avable. If you’re able to ept and manage it, we’ll have the contract prepared for you right away!”


    The Wilson family, who had been eavesdropping on their exchange, were left utterly speechless, their jaws nearly hitting the floor!


    A three hundred million dor project?!


    They wanted to hand it all over to ire?!


    Could someone please snap some sense into the vice-chairman of Emgrand Group? With their influence and stature, why would they bother ttering the seemingly insignificant ire?


    If the Wilson family could secure even a mere 10% of that massive project, it would be enough to turn their fortunes around and stabilize theirpany!


    Lady Wilson felt like her heart was being crushed repeatedly. Had she known ire possessed such capabilities, she would have done anything to bring her back into the family—even if it meant kneeling!


    Determined, she resolved to win ire back at any cost, along with those coveted Emgrand Group projects!


    At that moment, Zeke approached with his son, Kevin, and his nephew, Gerald, making their way toward Charlie and ire.


    Zeke began, “Mrs. Wade, congrattions on your grand opening! You’ll be the first choice for the White family when we have any interior design and renovation projects in the future!”


    ttered, ire quickly responded, “Thank you, Mr. White.”<fn652c> For original chapters go to f?ndnovel</fn652c>


    Kevin and Gerald stepped forward with respect, saying, “Congrattions, Mrs. Wade!”


    The two men were visibly humble, trembling slightly in Charlie’s presence. To them, Charlie had be the guardian angel of their family, making their respect for ire genuine and heartfelt.


    Nearby, Wendy watched the White family approach Charlie and ire, feeling a surge of agitation and frustration.


    Her gaze fixed on Gerald, the man she had always adored, and her heart ached with bitterness. They were supposed to be married by now; she was meant to be his wife and the daughter-inw of the White family.


    Yet, he treated her like aplete stranger. He had blocked her contact information and wouldn’t even spare her a nce.


    What hurt her the most was seeing the man she loved show so much respect and admiration for ire. She felt like a total failure inparison!


    Unable to contain her emotions any longer, tears streaming down her face, Wendy rushed forward, grabbing Gerald’s arm. “Gerald! My dear Gerald! Why haven’t you called me…?”


    A cold expression washed over Gerald’s face. He pulled his arm free and replied curtly, “I’m sorry, but I have nothing to do with you right now. I’m here to congratte Master and Mrs. Wade. Please conduct yourself appropriately!”


    “Me? Conduct myself appropriately?!” Wendy cried out, her tears flowing like rivers. “Gerald White! We were together for so many years! I was your fiancée, and I even carried your child. Now you want me to behave? You used me and then discarded me! You should be the one to behave!”
