    Chapter 1444


    Danny tried to confront his business partner at the time, only to be swiftly shown the way out. He could


    not ept the oue and fell into a depressive state. He wasted two years doing nothing at home.


    Eventually, his wife divorced him, taking their daughter with her. Meanwhile, his former business


    partner soared to sess on the back of their joint efforts.


    When they crossed paths again at a ss reunion, the person not onlycked remorse but also taunted


    him with harsh words. He denied Danny’s contribution to their shared sess and belittled him to the


    point of worthlessness.


    This incident then ignited his spirit to get himself together. He began to pick up the pieces and start


    anew. The process was tough, but the thought of being betrayed and abandoned spurred him on.


    His current girlfriend, whom he met during his second venture, stood by him during the most grueling


    moments. She provided him with much encouragement and help.


    However, Danny still held a deep mistrust for Hustuabourgians in terms of character due to the actions


    of his previous business partner. This was also why, despite dating his girlfriend for nine years, he had


    not yet married her.


    Danny did not resent his ex-associate for betraying the business. However, he was hurt that he


    betrayed their friendship and went out of his way to degrade him.


    As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. After Danny’s business grew, he coborated with all sorts


    of businessmen, except for Hustuabourgians.


    Nevertheless, Danny’s girlfriend was a Hustuabourgian and well-known in hermunity. Trevor was


    the one who introduced them.


    Danny had a favorable impression of Wenham and his son, but the lingering concern that he would be


    betrayed still made him hesitant to consider doing business with them. In his perception,


    Hustuabourgians were hypocrites and backstabbers.


    Initially, Danny had not nned on attending the banquet. But his professor from his university, whom


    he was close with, suddenly contacted himst night. The professor asked him to visit a


    Hustuabourgian student of theirs named Keegan Kane. So, he decided toe.


    Danny found it a pleasure to converse with Keegan and Ste since both of them were straightforward


    individuals.

    He smiled and said to Wenham, “Your daughter is very honest.”


    Wenham looked at Ste with affection in his eyes. “She’s a sensible andpliant child. She does


    things without any hidden motives.”


    Danny sighed. “My daughter is the same. When I asked her if she liked me or her mother better, she


    chose her mother while holding onto the gift I bought for her. She’s so brutally


    honest; it breaks my heart.”


    Wenham chuckled, and the two engaged in lively conversation.


    Darcie, keeping an eye on the time, reminded Wenham,” Darling, maybe you should lead Mr. Winston


    to his seat. The dishes might be getting cold.”


    Wenham put their conversation on hold and said, “This way, please, Mr. Winston.”


    Olivia had prepared a special table for VIPs and decorated it exquisitely. As soon as guests arrived,


    she warmly weed them.


    Danny took his seat. In passing, hemented, ’Mr. Saun, I’m not trying to impose, but I think you


    could’ve rented a bigger venue. It seems like your guests could use more space.”
