"Roman Kidd’s private car."
Unlike his underlings, Victor Hawthorne instantly recognized it as the Vice President’s car.
"Vice President? Wow, your family is really impressive, inviting the Vice President to the inauguration ceremony to cut the ribbon for your villa."
"Boss Hawthorne, I think I’ve chosen the right person to follow. I get to see not only many celebrities today but also the Vice President."
The underlings continued to express their astonishment.
But Victor Hawthorne said, "Though it is indeed his private car, he probably won’t come personally."
Roman Kidd is usually seen in the news; people who have met him privately are about as few as those who’ve met Lord Keaton, because he doesn’t like attending these chaotic events.
Add to that his unique status, inviting him is especially difficult.
"If it’s not the Vice President, then who came in his car?" The underlings kept gossiping.
These inexperienced youngsters were quite intrigued by the social engagements of wealthy families.
"Could it be his mother?"
The Hawthorne Family and Roman Kidd don’t have much interaction, but Victor Hawthorne’s parents are quite friendly with Roman Kidd’s mother, Lisa Shepard.
The list of people cutting the ribbon at this inauguration ceremony includes Lisa Shepard’s name.
So, according to Victor Hawthorne’s guess, it should be Lisa Shepard taking Roman Kidd’s private car here.
But then, the door of car 1112 was pushed open, and a man stepped out, clad in a tailored black suit. His dignified and extraordinary presence instantly turned everyone else into mere background.
Additionally, a young man and woman also disembarked from his car.
However, under Roman Kidd’s aura, it was as if people completely failed to notice their presence.
"Oh my, it’s Roman Kidd!"
"Boss Hawthorne, it’s Roman Kidd, not his mom!"
"Oh my God, I’m so lucky to see the Vice President in person." This text is hosted at novel⦿fire.net
As soon as the underlings saw Roman Kidd, they jumped around in excitement.
Only Victor Hawthorne remained confused: "Wasn’t his mom coming to cut the ribbon? Why is he here instead?"
But Victor Hawthorne was no fool; now was not the time to be dumbfounded.
He quickly said to one of the underlings, "Go call my parents over and tell them the Vice President has arrived."
With Roman Kidd’s distinguished status, they absolutely can’t be vague about the reception.
After passing his instructions to the underling, Victor Hawthorne hurriedly stepped forward to greet Roman Kidd.
"Your Excellency, hello."
Considering such busy and important figures probably wouldn’t remember him as a minor character, Victor Hawthorne hurriedly introduced himself.
"I’m Victor Hawthorne, my parents are..."
But before he finished, Roman Kidd said, "Master Hawthorne, I know who you are, no need to introduce yourself. My mom sprained her ankle yesterday, and the family doctor advised her to rest at home, so I came to attend today’s ribbon-cutting ceremony on her behalf."
Concise yet clear in explaining his purpose, while making Victor Hawthorne realize he was remembered by the Vice President, made him immensely thrilled.
"Calling me Master Hawthorne is too flattering, why don’t you just call me Victor."
At this moment, Victor Hawthorne’s parents also rushed over, warmly welcoming Roman Kidd.
Of course, Victor Hawthorne’s parents were more thoughtful than him, warmly greeting Roman Kidd as well as graciously receiving the young man and woman who came out of his car.
The woman was said to be Roman Kidd’s cousin, named Bianca White.
The man was Bianca White’s cousin, named Brandon White.
As they conversed, a luxurious yet modest silver-gray Maserati slowly pulled up in front of Stillwater Villa’s entrance...
