Chapter 709: Chapter 709: New Year’s Day Evening Party


    “Even if it gets edited when the program is broadcast, the audience on site during the recording saw and heard it all.”


    “There’s no need to wait for the program broadcast. At the recording site, those present in the audience will spread the news. Some people will videotape it and put it on the Inte.”


    “With today’s advances in the Inte, any little thing posted online can spread quickly. That’s why I’m not worried about Cindy’s affair not getting out,” Wendy rke smirked knowingly.


    “With such a broad channel ofmunication through the audience, Cindy’s scandal will be instantly known on the Inte,” Wendy said, “Hence, I think the day of the program recording is a great opportunity.”


    “I’ve been looking for a suitable public ce, crowded, with wide coverage and great impact,” Wendy exined, “I thought about it and found the day of the program recording to be just right.”


    At this juncture, Edward Lopez’s Whatsapp beeped.


    Seeing the notification on the screen, it was a message from Richard Lopez.


    Edward noted it was because Richard and Mrs. Lopez were behind him listening to his conversation with Wendy.


    To ensure Richard and Mrs. Lopez could clearly hear their conversation, Edward didn’t purposely lower his voice.


    N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Of course, he didn’t intentionally increase the volume either.


    As long as he spoke at a normal volume, Richard and Mrs. Lopez could hear him well.


    Furthermore, besides the waitstaff, there was no one else in the tea shop’s great hall.


    So, they had no need to be cautious while speaking.


    Following Edward’s lead, Wendy didn’t lower her voice too.


    “Hang on,” Edward told Wendy.


    He picked up his mobile phone to check the message from Richard.


    After reading it, Edward put down his mobile phone and said to Wendy, “In fact, I know of an even better opportunity than the program recording day.”


    This was just what Richard had just messaged him about.


    After hearing Wendy’s words, Richard had the same thought as Edward.


    Instead of threatening Cindy to negotiate with Adrian Zhekova, asking Adrian to stop retaliating against the Lopez Family,


    it’s better topletely destroy Cindy, so that she loses the protection of the Zhekova Family.


    If it as Wendy said, that leverage could indeed stomp Cindy down into the ground.


    By then, the Zhekova Family’s reputation would be damaged, and they couldn’t possibly do anything for Cindy.


    Moreover, even if Adrian persisted in tormenting them because of Cindy,


    The elders of the Zhekova Family would disapprove, not letting Adrian harm the Zhekova Family’s interests for a woman who had made the Zhekova Family lose face.


    So, Richard was thinking of a suitable asion recently.


    Wendy’s view was narrow.


    She thought the opportunity of recording the program was good.


    But Richard felt that wasn’t a particrly suitable asion.


    He had a better suggestion.


    So, he immediately sent Edward a message on Whatsapp.


    “When the audience spreads the news privately after the program, only ordinaryizens will know. Sure, The Big Eight families would certainly go online, but hearing it from the Inte and hearing it face-to-face are different.”


    “Across the Inte, it’s hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood, the Zhekova Family might also refute it with a rification. It’s not that they protect Cindy excessively, but for their own face, they have to do so.”


    “This way, it would actually help Cindy. If the leverage is made public, it’s no longer leverage, her dark history would be made public, and the Zhekova Family would find a way to clear her name. She wouldn’t have to live in fear, in case someone brings up this dark history in the future.”


    “Even if it’s dug up again in the future, just bring out the original rification.” Edward analyzed.


    “Then, what kind of asion do you think is suitable?” Wendy asked, “I can’t wait too long.”


    “I have said, I want Cindy to lose everything, I want her to regret,” Wendy stated, “I will do what I have said. If I dy too long, wouldn’t that make Cindyugh!”


    Allowing Cindy to think she was just threatening verbally, Wendy couldn’t stand it.


    She couldn’t stand being scorned by Cindy.


    She wanted Cindy to fear her, pay attention to her, be nervous when seeing her!


    Wendy wanted to mark her presence in front of Cindy.


    Then Edward smiled and said, “There’s another fitting asion.”


    “On the first evening of the New Year, Belfard will host a dinner party. The Big Eight families will also attend,” Edward informed, “Usually, few representatives from The Big Eight families attend these dinner parties.”


    “Even if they do, they aren’t the important ones. They juste as representatives, use the name of The Big Eight families to show a face. But in actuality, these individuals hold low positions in the family and have little say.”


    No use in building connections there either.


    Who’sworking who?


    Such asions, even if there are attendees from The Big Eight families, they aren’t of much use.


    Nobody would be foolish enough to waste their timeworking.


    “But the New Year’s dinner is different,” Edward said, “Since it’s hosted by the officials, The Big Eight families usually give face.”


    On this point, The Big Eight families do right, it’s hard to fault them.


    Even though the position of The Big Eight families doesn’t require them to care so much.


    But people do give face when they have to, not taking their authority to their heads.


    This is perhaps why The Big Eight families could still stand tall to this day, being able to maintain their strength without anyone trying to bring them down.


    They evaluate the time and circumstances, not arbitrarily making enemies.


    “So every year on the first evening, people from The Big Eight families do attend. Of course, not everyone from the familieses.” If it were like that, the dinner party couldn’t amodate everyone.


    Furthermore, the old masters and old madams from The Big Eight families certainly wouldn’t attend.


    They are of high age and status.


    How could they easily show up?


    Even if they don’t show up, no one would feel they are arrogant or anything.


    The participation alone from The Big Eight families is very considerate already.


    Considering those present, even if they’re the same age, they definitely don’t surpass the status of the old masters and old madams.


    Futhermore, they are of age now, being obliged to attend would be asking too much.


    “Usually, it’s The Big Eight families’ heirs, this generation or the next, who would participate. For example, Adrian Zhekova, a young but high-statured member of the family,” Edward exined.


    “This year, I heard Adrian, Zane Hamilton and others will attend. Hence, the big and small families in Belfard will do everything possible to attend.”


    Adrian Zhekova, Zane Hamilton, and others aren’t insignificant young members of The Big Eight families.


    Therefore, families outside of The Big Eight families will utilize all opportunities to obtain an entry qualification.
