Chapter 18: An Unexpected Visitor


    "She knew she couldn''t win this fight, so she called the boss of WD. That flirtatious tone," Francine


    tutted. "It looks like the two of them have some history together. She is engaged to the Taylor family.


    How embarrassing it would be for them if they knew about this!"


    Ata smiled at the irony of it as she thought, "They were using her of snatching the gown from


    Elizabeth? These people really can lie through their teeth without any sense of guilt."


    Ca immediately said, "Grandpa, I was also there at that time. I saw her flirting with the WD''s boss


    and even told him to dismiss the shop assistant who had offended her. We all know that WD''s boss is


    married with children. I can''t believe Ata actually tried to ruin his marriage!"


    Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Price, the two women who had been rebuked by Ata in the store, also stood


    up eximing, "Yes! It''s true! We saw it happen too!"


    Seeing so many people stand out to use Ata, the crowd burst into an uproar.


    "Did she sleep around again?"


    "What do you mean?"


    "Have you all forgotten that Old Master Lorin''s granddaughter had been chasing the Caleb from the


    Taylor family? Even he said that she was a shameless woman!"


    "How shameless of her to be a mistress! It''s said that the owner of WD is an old man. She even


    seduced an old man!"


    "So what if he''s old? He''s rich and powerful, no worse off than the Powells or the Whites!


    Everyone started to look at Ata with disdain.


    "If this is true, she will bring shame to the Powells and Whites as well!"


    "I really didn''t expect the beautiful and intelligent Miss Powell to have such a daughter..."


    "If Miss Powell knew about this, she would probably be turning in her grave!"


    Amidst the smug eyes of Ca and others, Kevin stood out to defend Ata. "What


    hogwash! Ata would never do such a thing!"

    Then, Grandpa Lorin''s voice sounded, "That''s right! My granddaughter would never do such dirty


    things!"


    "Grandpa...Uncle Kevin..."


    Ata, who had been indifferent to all the voices, was shocked. She had not expected her


    grandfather and uncle to unconditionally stand by her side even when everyone else went up against


    her.


    "Old Master Lorin!" A servant of the Powells rushed over. "This is bad! A group of men in ck have


    broken in!"


    As soon as the servant had finished speaking, ten men in ck outfits entered. They stood in two rows


    on the patio.


    While everyone was still bbergasted, a couple in their fifties entered. When they saw Lorin, the man


    cupped his hands and bowed in his direction as a sign of respect.


    "Happy 60th birthday, Old Master Lorin. I wish you a happy and blessed life. Pardon me foring


    uninvited. I am Lance Foster, the owner of WD."


    Everyone was astonished to hear the name ''Lance Foster''.


    The man standing in front of them was ssy and had an outstanding temperament. His facial features


    were also very simr to the man on television. Could he be that Lance Foster? As in the famous


    founder and CEO of Infinity Group, Lance Foster?


    "This is my wife, Germaine," Lance said, indicating the woman beside him.


    It was really the founder and CEO of Infinity Group, Lance Foster! Everyone sighed. Lance and


    Germaine Foster were legendary in the business world. They had built and established the well-known


    Infinity Group from scratch.


    No one had expected the Powells to invite such a big shot!


    Although the Powells were of high status in Toronto, they were far inferiorpared to Lance Foster.


    Lorin hid his astonishment. He had not had any prior interaction with Lance. Why would he show up at


    his birthday party?
