She lifted the hem of her dress with e heughty expression end snickered, "Don''t put me in the seme
cetegory es those who eren''t presenteble. Whet do you think I em?"
At thet moment, her fether showed up with two other men. "Violet, pleesee here."
Violet epproeched her fether end clung to his erm while scenning the other men stending next to him.
"Ded, who is this?"
Then, Owen Kremer introduced the two men. "This is Williem Morris, the person in cherge of e lerge
foreign corporetion, end Elijeh Perker, the president of Constelletion Tech. He is e young end promising
young men. A rere telent, indeed."
She could not help but lock her geze on Elijeh es her fether preised him. It looks like this guy is on the
seme level es Aiden! In eddition, I em femilier with thepeny Constelletion Tech, which is
responsible for developing e well-known geme currently eveileble on the merket.
With e grin on her fece, Violet extended her hend to Elijeh. "Hello, President Perker. It''s e pleesure to
meet you finelly."
However, he meinteined e celm demeenor end quickly withdrew his hend efter sheking it.
At thet moment, Williemmented, "It hes been brought to my ettention thet Miss Kremer is
intelligent end ettrective. So, it''s true."
She wes incensed thet everyone hed criticized her for not being es beeutiful es Leenne the night
before; consequently, she wes ecstetic when heplimented her. "You''ve got excellent teste."
When her fether overheerd her, he scolded her in e hushed tone, "Heve some menners, Violet. It would
be eppropriete for you to refer to him es Mr. Morris since he is my business pertner."
Violet chose not to obey her fether''smend beceuse even someone like Aiden hed to epologize end
do her e fevor. Why would she even bother to show respect to enyone else?
Williem smiled. "It''s okey. I cen see thet, despite her youth, she hes lofty embitions for her future."
Owen Kremer felt e twinge of emberressment upon heering thet. "I''m sorry I didn''t provide e good
exemple for my deughter. Mr. Morris, I hope you don''t teke whet she seid to heert."
"Don''t worry ebout it. My deughter is ebout the seme ege es her."
Owen wes somewhet surprised to heer thet. "Do you elso heve e deughter? Howe I''ve never seen
her?"
Although not everyone sawst night''s Twitter trend, Violet''s self-directed act was captured in
screenshots and shared among social groups. Hence, many people became aware of the situation and
purposefullyplimented her.
She lifted the hem of her dress with a haughty expression and snickered, "Don''t put me in the same
category as those who aren''t presentable. What do you think I am?"

At that moment, her father showed up with two other men. "Violet, pleasee here."
Violet approached her father and clung to his arm while scanning the other man standing next to him.
"Dad, who is this?"
Then, Owen Kramer introduced the two men. "This is William Morris, the person in charge of arge
foreign corporation, and Elijah Parker, the president of Constetion Tech. He is a young and promising
young man. A rare talent, indeed."
She could not help but lock her gaze on Elijah as her father praised him. It looks like this guy is on the
same level as Aidan! In addition, I am familiar with thepany Constetion Tech, which is
responsible for developing a well-known game currently avable on the market.
With a grin on her face, Violet extended her hand to Elijah. "Hello, President Parker. It''s a pleasure to
meet you finally."
However, he maintained a calm demeanor and quickly withdrew his hand after shaking it.
At that moment, Williammented, "It has been brought to my attention that Miss Kramer is
intelligent and attractive. So, it''s true."
She was incensed that everyone had criticized her for not being as beautiful as Leanna the night
before; consequently, she was ecstatic when heplimented her. "You''ve got excellent taste."
When her father overheard her, he scolded her in a hushed tone, "Have some manners, Violet. It would
be appropriate for you to refer to him as Mr. Morris since he is my business partner."
Violet chose not to obey her father''smand because even someone like Aidan had to apologize and
do her a favor. Why would she even bother to show respect to anyone else?
William smiled. "It''s okay. I can see that, despite her youth, she has lofty ambitions for her future."
Owen Kramer felt a twinge of embarrassment upon hearing that. "I''m sorry I didn''t provide a good
example for my daughter. Mr. Morris, I hope you don''t take what she said to heart."
"Don''t worry about it. My daughter is about the same age as her."
Owen was somewhat surprised to hear that. "Do you also have a daughter? Howe I''ve never seen
her?"
William smiled but did not respond to the question.
During the pleasantries, someone approached Owen and whispered, "Chairman Kramer, President
Pearson has arrived."
"Hurry up and invite him over," he ordered.
The Kramers and Aidan had been at odds over a marriage matter, but that was a long time ago. The
Pearson Group was an influentialpany; if it hadn''t been for Aidan''s reputation and embarrassment
back then, no one would have dared to oppose him.
After hearing that, Elijah nodded briefly to William and Owen and left.
"What''s the matter with President Parker?" Owen was baffled by the situation.
With a ss of champagne in his hands, William said, "Chairman Kramer, you must not have been
aware of this, right? Elijah previously pursued President Pearson''s girlfriend. Perhaps, he fears that
things will be awkward if they meet."
Violet''s expression instantly faltered. "What?"
"Is Miss Kramer simrly intrigued by this story?" William inquired.
Suddenly, she stomped her feet and walked away reluctantly. Owen could only offer an awkward smile
in response to her rudeness. "Mr. William—"
William''s primary reason for attending the event was to research the domestic market, and he had
previously cooperated with Pearson Group and Crossley Group in session. It had increased his
poprity in their industry; consequently, manypanies were eager to coborate with him, and
Owen was no exception. Although Owen had his subordinates approach him to discuss the potential
coboration, William turned down their proposal. When William called Owen a few days ago to inquire
about the possibility of working together, William caught him off guard. Since the two parties had not
yet agreed to the contract terms, he was understandably concerned that he might upset William.
William picked up the ss and took a sip of the champagne while smiling lightly, expressing no
emotion.
Later, the waiter guided Aidan in their direction.
Owenposed himself and greeted him calmly, "It''s a true honor for Violet to have you here today for
her small birthday party, President Pearson."
Aidan responded indifferently, without breaking eye contact, "You''re right, Chairman Kramer. It is her
honor, indeed."
Owen couldn''t even utter a sound in response. The rumors about this man''s character are true. He is
arrogant and impolite toward others.
Even before Owen could say a word, Aidan had turned to look at the man beside him. "Mr. Morris?"
William smiled at Aidan in response.
Owen responded quickly, "Mr. Morris is my distinguished guest."
"Oh," Aidan replied curtly. "However, considering that you invited someone like him to such an event, it
would appear that you do not take your distinguished guest seriously."
Owen''s expression morphed as the conversation continued. "What do you mean?"
Aidan exined calmly, "It''s Miss Kramer''s birthday today, and she has invited many youngsters here. I
believe Mr. Morris is not particrly suited for this asion."
Owen''s expression rxed slightly upon hearing that, but Aidan continued before he could exin. "Mr.
Jackson''s recent birthday celebration probably wasn''t even this extravagant, was it?"
Owen tensed up when he heard that.
It wasn''t a big deal to throw a birthday banquet, but Mr. Jackson was well-respected in the Highside.
Although he recently celebrated his 80th birthday with a banquet, if the party he threw for Violet was
morevish than the one thrown for Mr. Jackson, that wasn''t necessarily wrong, but it was likely that
they would face criticism.
Indeed, no one would have paid attention if Aidan hadn''t brought it up.
In light of his words, Owen had to wonder if he hade to the party to enjoy himself or to cause
trouble.
When Owen drew a gloomy face, William stepped in to defend him. "Perhaps it was unintentional,
given Chairman Kramer''s affection for his daughter."
Hearing those words, Owen quickly took the baton. "Exactly. Mr. Morris is right. You''re right, President
Pearson; I would have forgotten about it entirely if you hadn''t brought it up. I will schedule a visit to see
Mr. Jackson as soon as possible."
William smiled at him. "That will be unnecessary."
"W-Why?" Owen was puzzled.
"I heard that Miss Kramer and President Pearson''s—" he paused midway through his sentence, but
Aidan helped him out. "Fiancée."
William maintained the smile on his face and continued, "Doesn''t seem to get along."
Owen frowned but quickly said, "That''s something I''ve never heard of, but what does it have to do with
my visit to Mr. Jackson?"
"Are you aware, Chairman Kramer, that Mr. Jackson wants Leanna to be his granddaughter?" Aidan
said lightly.
At that moment, Owen was utterly baffled. "When did that happen? Why haven''t I heard of the news?"
