"Deal." Oliver Turner smiled and said, "You’re stronger than your brother.
If you hadn’t been immersed in love from the beginning and had instead stepped up to learn how to manage a business,
the Townsend family wouldn’t have fallen to its state today."
Faye Townsend clenched her fist. Immersed in love? More like she was crazy about it.
But fortunately, she’s awakened now, and it’s not too late.
The annual charity gala in Anchester is hosted by the Anchester Chamber of Commerce.
This so-called charity gala is actually just a simple auction.
All proceeds from the auction are d to mountainous area development.
On this night, leaders from most of Anchester’s enterprises will attend.
Faye Townsend had known about this gala before, only because her father attended every year.
When she entered the banquet hall with Oliver Turner, many elite entrepreneurs had already gathered.
Oliver Turner’s appearance attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone wanted to connect with Oliver Turner and curry favor with him.
Unfortunately, Oliver Turner’s attention wasn’t on them.
He led Faye Townsend to a man who was also surrounded and looked somewhat impatient.
"Xavier." Oliver Turner called out.
Xavier pushed through the crowd, somewhat displeased: "What took you so long?"
Oliver Turner casually put his hand on Faye Townsend’s shoulder: "I was picking up my date, where’s yours?"
"Do I really need to bother finding a date for such a boring event? What a waste of time."
After saying that, Xavier’s gaze fell on Faye Townsend: "Miss Townsend, right? You’re quite the news figure recently.
Seeing you in person, I have to say, you really are stunning.
And standing with you, our heads turn even more.
Look, so many women are watching you.
Do you know how they are discussing you?"
Faye Townsend smiled: "The Anchester society lady dumped by the president of Warren Group and now clinging to the CEO of BlueHorizon Group, I suppose."
"Yo, you respond quite comfortably." Xavier laughed heartily.
"No wonder Oliver says you’re easygoing, and I can see that."
"In their eyes, a socialite like me, dumped by her husband and with a bankrupt family, is only fit to be a beggar.
So, I figure they talk about me just out of jealousy, why shouldn’t I be at ease with that?"
Faye Townsend looked at the somewhat rogue man in front of her, Xavier.
She had heard of him before.
The son of the biggest gang leader in Anchester, his reputation was stinky.
But unlike his father, who made a fortune through underworld dealings, he chose to use that money to go the legitimate route.
Although Fanson Group isn’t as formidable as BlueHorizon or Warren Group,
it has its own reputation in Anchester.
She just never expected that Oliver Turner, who seemed so proper, would know someone as unrestrained as Xavier.
"Hey, look over there, your ex-husband has arrived." Xavier nodded towards the back with a grin.
Oliver Turner and Faye Townsend both turned to look and, as she had guessed, Hunter Warren was attending the gala with Zenia Yates.
When she was Mrs. Warren, he never brought her to any public events, it was even hard just to see him.
But now... he’s parading around everywhere with his fiancée who has not yet crossed his threshold.
As if afraid people wouldn’t know they were together.
When Hunter Warren’s sharp gaze landed on Faye Townsend, she had already shifted her attention away from the two of them.
She looked serenely at Oliver Turner with a smile: "I’m planning to go over and say hello."
"Do you need me to accompany you?"
