In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Nina Quinn and Justin Callahan’s engagement.
The engagement venue was set at the Hawes Presidential Hotel.
There were quite a number of guests, essentially anyone from the upper circles of Westmarch who could make it were present.
After all, it was the engagement party of the prestigious Callahan Family from Esteria, and everyone hoped to seize this opportunity to build connections with the Callahan Family.
The Quinn Family members were all dressed up, seemingly as if they had reached a highlight moment in their lives.
"Mr. Quinn, congratulations, congratulations."
"Nina is truly becoming prettier as she grows, and she and Master Callahan are truly a match made in heaven."
"Still, it’s Mr. Quinn’s ability that has cultivated Nina, who is both beautiful, well-educated, and exceptionally talented as a daughter."
The praise was endless.
Amid the flattery of those people, Charles Quinn felt elated, as if he had already become one of the top-tier elites of Esteria.
Even the Family Head, Gavin Shaw, who came to offer his congratulations, was dismissed by him.
Upon seeing Gavin Shaw, Charles Quinn smugly lost himself a bit: "President Shaw, you never expected it, did you? In a blink, we are standing on equal footing?" He wouldn’t know how many days he’d have to schedule just to meet Gavin Shaw before.
But today, Gavin Shaw actually attended their family’s engagement party.
Though Gavin Shaw had yet to actively offer his congratulations, in Charles Quinn’s eyes, it was no different from him kneeling down and licking his feet.
That’s why he couldn’t wait to come before Gavin Shaw, flaunting his indescribable sense of superiority.
"Mr. Quinn, you’re thinking too much, I came here only because of personal ties with the Callahan Family."
The implication was clear, I still look down on you, even if you became in-laws with the Callahan Family.
In fact, Gavin Shaw hadn’t deceived Charles Quinn, he truly didn’t regard Charles Quinn highly.
Besides being disgusted by his opportunistic demeanor, there was also their family’s treatment of July Quinn, which was truly disheartening.
In Gavin Shaw’s eyes, July Quinn would absolutely not push Nina Quinn out of spite.
Not only because July Quinn was their lifesaver, but also because Gavin Shaw believed in July Quinn’s character.
Indeed, Gavin Shaw had always admired July Quinn, not only for her exceptional medical skills but also for her calm demeanor and upright liberality.
If heaven were to bless him with such a daughter, even if she wasn’t biologically his, Gavin Shaw would chant prayers for the rest of his life.
Yet Charles Quinn possessed but showed no appreciation, instead using July Quinn’s blood relations to draw attention.
Such kind of person, even if they truly succeed in the future, would definitely not be someone good.
Gavin Shaw scorned associating with them.
But the more he avoided Charles Quinn, the more Charles Quinn seemed convinced Gavin Shaw was there to flatter him.
"President Shaw, no need to be shy. Even if today you kneel and lick my boots, I won’t laugh at you. People say, thirty years east, thirty years west."
The prouder Charles Quinn was, the more disgusted Gavin Shaw became.
"The principle is correct, but President Shaw is destined never to reach the same status as me."
A newly ambitious villain eagerly offends everyone in the world, how far can such a person go?
"President Shaw, you will definitely pay for today’s shortsightedness."
Charles Quinn felt humiliated by Gavin Shaw’s words and instantly ridiculed with gritted teeth.
"Is that so? Then let’s wait and see."
Gavin Shaw didn’t even glance at him and simply walked away.
Angry, Charles Quinn cursed: "What kind of thing is this? Daring to point at my nose and scold me?"
"Quinn, what are you muttering here for?" At this moment, Amanda Ford just happened to walk beside him.
"That brute Gavin Shaw said I’d never be on equal footing with him!"
"Why bother with such autumn locusts? Once Nina marries into Esteria, we’ll follow up by expanding the Quinn Group there; by then, dealing with Gavin Shaw will be no different than crushing an ant."
Indeed, they say birds of a feather flock together.
Therefore, Amanda Ford thought the same as Charles Quinn, feeling that once Nina Quinn married into Esteria, their home was destined for success.
Such as the Shaw Family, the first family of Westmarch, not even worthy of holding their shoes.
So since this morning, she was arrogantly treating the rich ladies she previously zealously flattered.
Charles Quinn nodded, seemingly agreeing with Amanda Ford’s reasoning.
Seeing this, Amanda Ford urged him again: "Go rehearse the entrance ceremony, Nina is looking for you."
Although it’s an engagement ceremony, there are many guests today, abundant media, plus a live broadcast, so they’ve decided to execute it like a wedding to make everything look more grandiose.
"Alright..." Charles Quinn hurriedly tidied his collar and left with Amanda Ford.
