Chapter 2227


    The heir of the Lake family, who had usually been arrogant to anyone, was speaking somewhat


    obsequiously to the middle-aged man before him.


    “Even Mr. Winters is here. The Lake family has developed so fast over the years that even Mr. Winters


    came to the Lake family’s manor!”


    “Look at the Lake family’s influence now. Even Mr. Winters, who’s at the peak of power in Ocean City,


    won’t underestimate the Lake family!”


    “Hehe, don’t worry about Mr. Winters and the Lake family. Think about whether your birthday present


    today will impress the Lake family!”


    Many Ocean City’s dignitaries had gathered in the manor. They were currently discussing Mr. Winters

    in low voices.


    After having a little chat with Mr. Winters, Curtis led Mr. Winters to the manor and had him sit


    somewhere at the front.


    “Uncle Winters, have a seat first. I’ll ask my father to keep youpany!” Curtis said.


    However, Mr. Winters smiled and waved his hand, saying,” Your father is the star today. How can you


    let the star keep the guestpany? Go about your business. I’ll sit here.”


    Hearing this, Curtis also nodded before returning to the manor entrance. His face was full of


    excitement, seemingly excited about Mr. Winters’ visit to the Lake family’s manor.


    “Hmph! I was worried Sean would cause trouble at Lake Residence. But with Mr. Winters at the Lake


    family’s manor, I can’t wait for him toe. The Lake family’s manor is packed with all of Ocean City’s


    elites today, and our guest lineup is no worse than the previous Victory Auction House. If he shows up,


    I’ll see what he can do to get out.”


    Curtis hung his head down, a gleam of excitement in his eyes.


    As time slowly went by, more and more dignitaries of Ocean City came to the Lake family’s manor.


    Fortunately, the Lake family’s manor wasrge enough that it did not seem crowded at all. Any of the


    people sitting in the Lake family’s manor right now was famous in Ocean City.


    “Why aren’t Old Master Davis, Old Master Carver, and Mr. Quartz here?” Sitting in the front row, Mr.


    Winters had a surprised look as he asked the patriarch of a family beside him.


    The patriarch paused slightly before ncing cautiously at the Lake family members not far away.


    Then, he muttered,” Mr. Winters, you don’t know. Old Master Davis, Old Master Carver, and Mr. Quartz


    all had some conflict with Curtis the other day at Victory Auction House’s auction.”


    As the patriarch recounted the events at Victory Auction House’s auction, Mr. Winters was given a full


    ount of what happened.


    He nodded understandingly and said meaningfully, “That Sean Lennon has some things up his sleeves.


    He got these three families to take his side when he had onlye to Ocean City a while ago…


    Interesting young man. It will be interesting if I have a chance to meet…”


    Hearing Mr. Winters’ words, the patriarch smiled helplessly.


    Sean has a grudge against Curtis, but you still want to meet him. Aren’t you afraid of the Lake family


    overthinking it?


    However, with Mr. Winters’ identity, he did not need to care what the Lake family thought. Even if the


    Lake family had an opinion, they would not say anything to this man, let alone do anything.


    “Haha, I’m just saying, but don’t let Old Master Lake hear it, or he’ll overthink,” Mr. Winters nced at


    the man around him and said with a smile.


    The patriarch shuddered and immediately said, “Aren’t we talking about history, Mr. Winters?”


    Mr. Winters gave a satisfied smile at that.
