chapter 687
Despite McKenzie''s thoughts, she maintained her calm and elegant demeanor. She did not even look up nor did she nce at Charmine at
all.
It was as if Charmine was unworthy of her gaze.
Charmine, meanwhile, sat down and ignored everyone.
After ncing at the decorations of the banquet hall, she thought of something and took out her phone to y with it nonchntly.
Max saw her unperturbed attitude, and his eyes darkened.
He invited Charmine over to see her upset and embarrassed. He did not invite her to be a guest.
His eyesnded on his assistant.
Instantly, the assistant went ahead to prepare something.
The Hundred Birds Project''s banquet was hosted with the theme of the Hundred Birds in mind. The theme was historic and ancient-driven,
perfectly showcasing the deep traditional elements of the Jordown Group. In the middle of the hall was a disy model of the Hundred Birds
Towers.
Every tower was delicately crafted, and each of the roofs had a Harpy, Lamassu, Nephele, and
Manticore. They looked as good as real, incredibly beautiful.
Many began to praise joyfully, ''The Hundred Birds Towers are indeed the Hundred Birds Towers. It''ll be
all around the city in the future, driven by tradition. How majestic!"
"The Divine Bird Tower is merely one tower. How could itpete with this? Look at the details here-
the Divine Bird is nopetitor!"
"I wonder how the Jordan Group came up with the Divine Bird''s design. Who knows, perhaps they stole
the idea from the D''Cruz family?"
''That''s very likely, and it was too abrupt. How could a half-dyingpany be able toe up with
this?''''
''The copycat dared to attend this banquet? She''s not too ashamed to attend the banquet of the
Hundred Birds Project''sunch? For what? Free food and drinks?''''
Every word was unpleasant.
Max seemed as if he was solely socializing with the guests not far away, but his eyes would dart to
Charmine from time to time.
Max had pre-arranged those people to say such a thing to agitate Charmine, to tear away that
unperturbed face of hers!

Once she snapped and picked a fight with him, she would not be able to provide any evidence of them
stealing her ideas. Everyone would think she was a crazy dog then.
Hah! He wanted to see how much longer Charmine could hold it in.
However...
Charmine remained seated on the sofa, sometimesnguidly leaning back, sometimes flipping her hair,
and sometimes looking down to y with her phone.
Furthermore, she was bossing the serving staff that walked around. She would order snacks and fresh
juice at times.
Every movement of hers exuded the elegance of an uppersswoman and showed no hint of fear.
It seemed as if none of the mocking words went into her head. In fact, she was the one treating the
staff hired by Max as if they were her staff.
Max felt his blood boiling as he watched her, but just as he was about to arrange something, someone
cried out from behind the door.
"Argh! Look! It''s Anthony Bailey! Boss Bailey came!"
Instantly, everyone looked toward the door.
Even Charmine, who had remained unperturbed up until then, reacted as her eyelids jumped.
Against the light, the tall, well-built Anthony walked in with his pristine customized suit.
He exuded a sense of authority and elegance, making everyone somehow nervous while the hall became tense.
Max frowned. Did Anthony not say he would note? Why was he here?
Furthermore, Max knew about the rtionship between Anthony and Charmine. What was he doing here?
The rest of the attendees were unaware of that as they gossiped in awe:
"Boss Bailey actually came! The D’Cruz family is so powerful that they even invited Boss Bailey!"
"Now that the D''Cruz suddenly rose in this architectural industry and instantly became a bigshot in the country, it''s only natural Boss Bailey
would look at them differently."
"Didn''t Boss Bailey agree to only support the Jordan Group?"
