Today was Brent MacQuoid’s 80th birthday. Those invited to attend the party in the MacQuoid
residence in Mysonna were notables from all over the world.
Everyone paid particr attention to the party this year because the MacQuoid family. had won a
project cluster and was looking for a strategic partner.
With the global economy entering a downturn, there were very few opportunities for this type of
powerful alliance, and everyone was eager to ride a wave of it.
In recent years, Larson Corporation had been blooming and had be a leader in the industry.
Everyone saw them in a new light
Brent also greatly admired and had his eyes on them. He had specifically ordered his staff that it was
Vincent and Kimberly dressed up to attend it.
Vincent wore a tuxedo, just like a noble prince of Epea.
Kimberly dressed in an off-shoulder, high-slit red evening gown. Her jet-ck curls were flowing down
her chest. Her sun-kissed skin was reflected perfectly under the faint lighting.
Kimberly didn’t like such a formal asion. It was rare for her to participate in such events in her years
working at Larson Corporation.
Tonight, Kimberly was here as a guest, as well as Vincent’s partner.
Sullivan Group was here for a fair share of the pie, too, of course.
Larson Corporation and Sullivan Group had long agreed to be amunity of shared
interests.
At this point, Kimberly was not aware of what had happened at the Larson residence.
Walking into the banquet hall, Vincent offered his arm and smiled. It was amon action, so she h
ooked her tanned arm to his naturally.
Vincent smiled dotingly at her and deliberately held her hand with his other hand as if
she were a treasure.
Kimberly felt that Vincent was indeed a master at the banquet when he acted like that, so she followed
his lead and smiled brightly.
Around them, there were handsome men and beautiful women dressed up everywhere,
Chapter 105
which was really dazzling.
Kimberly didn’t know that since she came in, there had been a pair of eyes on her.
This person was Gerald Patterson, the CEO of Patterson Finance Corporation.
Brent’s birthday party was unique every year, and this year was no exception.
This year’s theme was willingness.
The first agenda each year was a speech by Brent.
Everyone was ustomed to giving speeches. They were meant to convey thanks and expectations.
This year, however, was very different.
As soon as Brent went on the stage, he announced tonight’s grand prize.
It was much more joyful to share the joy with others than to enjoy it alone.
The next strategic partner of MacQuoid Group will be determined by drawing lots on- site.
Everyone was excited upon hearing the announcement.
In the meantime, Brent exined that to be fair, each guest had been assigned a number in the order
they entered the hall.
Later, he would choose a guest from the number box. This guest would ept his sacred mission and
randomly select the luckiest person tonight.
This lucky person would be a strategic partner of MacQuoid Group.
Brent was really good at ying around.
However, hearing this. Kimberly was not as interested anymore. She thought that she could win against
others with her own ability. If this was how Brent yed it, her chances of winning had been lowered.

Besides, as a business owner, Kimberly thought that the way MacQuoid Group operated. was
unqualified for the development of thepany.
“The strategic partner certainly should be evenly matched in capabilities. How can it be decided by
drawing lots so casually?’ she scolded in her heart.
Vincent saw through her thoughts and whispered, “Don’t you have a tad bit of confidence in your own
luck? Besides, even if you are not selected, it doesn’t matter.

Just consider this party as a rxation while apanying me.”

Hearing Vincent’s words, Kimberly realized that if MacQuoid Group acted so casually, it didn’t really
matter if they didn’t cooperate with each other.
After a while. Kimberly felt a little bored. She got up and left, trying to get some air in the garden.
Seeing a beautiful red silhouette leave, Gerald went after her.

“The person I take a fancy to is really different. Ordinary women go all out to make connections with
those elites at such a banquet. It’s good to know more people. Maybe these cl it es will be their
resources in the future, he thought.
Gerald took two sses of champagne and saw Kimberly sitting on the garden porch.
The MacQuoid residence’s garden was really nice. Maybe even the garden in the royal pce was
nothing more than this.
Kimberly looked like a flower fairy while being surrounded by flowers and nts.
Gerald gradually approached her and handed over a ss of champagne in his hand. He asked gently.
“What’s wrong? Is the party too boring?
Kimberly was in a daze when she was startled by the sudden man’s voice. She raised her eyes and
looked at the distinguished-looking man.
Realizing that he might be a guest of the party as well, she immediately stood up and smiled back at
him. She took over the champagne from Gerald’s hand.
Seeing Kimberly take the ss without any precautions, Gerald was a little worried. “Aren’t you afraid
that I might have drugged it?”
Unexpectedly, Kimberly smiled charmingly. “Anyone who can enter the MacQuoid residence is either
rich or noble. Moreover, you and I have never met before.”
Seeing the wise and sober woman in front of him, he uttered. “You are quite special.”
Then, he handed over his business card and reached out. “Patterson Finance Group, Gerald
Patterson. Nice to meet you.”
Kimberly took the card and looked at the details carefully. “I see. Patterson Finance Group.”
Seeing that Kimberly refused to introduce herself even after his introduction, Gerald continued prying, “I
wonder if I’m honored enough to make friends with you.
Although he had already known Kimberly’s background clearly, he still wanted her to
Chapter 105
tell him about herself.
Kimberly smiled slightly. “Larson Corporation, Kimberly.”
Gerald took the chance to tter her. “The MacQuoid family is really generous to invite the notables.
Ms. Larson is well-known. I didn’t expect to meet you. here.
After some small talks, Gerald thought that the show would begin soon and urged.
Kimberly to go in together.
Kimberly wasn’t interested, however, Gerald saw what she was thinking.
“Why? Have you no confidence in yourself?”
“That’s the way it is. The less hopeful you are, the more likely you will win.”
The gimmick was carefully prepared by himself. It would be boring if the main star didn’t show up.
So, he hurriedly urged Kimberly to go in with him.
Kimberly couldn’t resist Gerald’s enthusiasm, so she stood up and headed for the banquet hall.
Vincent thought that Kimberly had gone out for some time, but she hadn’t returned yet. He was about
to go out and look for her.
Suddenly, he saw Kimberly and Geralde in one after another as if they were very close.
Before Kimberly was seated. Vincent acted as though he was a detective. Tell me, did. you have a
romantic encounter just now? Don’t tell me that you don’t know the charismatic man who came in
together with you.”
Kimberly was dumbfounded. “What romantic encounter?”
Then, she realized that Vincent meant Gerald andughed. “Vincent, I think it’s a pity you are not an
entertainment reporter. That’s the person I chit-chatted with outside just
TOW.
Worried that he would not believe her, she handed over Gerald’s business card.
