Chapter 41


    As time passed, more guests arrived to give their congrattions. The entire venue was filled with peo


    ple. A famous entertainer was also putting on a performance on the main stage. Below, the guests were


    talking andughing over some wine.


    “Dahlia, this is a nice ce. You would be the owner in the future, right?” Florence nced around, thril


    led.


    “Mom, I’m just partners with the Harmon family. I’m merely a secondary stakeholder even if we establis


    hed apany together,” Dahlia exined.


    “That’s good enough. Once we get on the same boat with the Harmon family, we won’t have to worry in


    the future!” Florence was delighted.


    “Sis! Your career is booming right now. You must have made a lot of money,


    right? When are you getting me a nice car?” James smiled tteringly beside her.


    “I give you quite a lot of pocket


    money every month. Is it not enough?” Dahlia asked unhappily. She did not like giving handouts, even t


    o her own brother.


    “It used to be enough. But I’ve invested all my savings into Nn Pharmaceuticals, so now I’m broke,”


    James said exasperatedly.


    “Then you just sit and wait for the dividends,” Dahlia said dismissively. As she turned around, she caug


    ht sight of Dustin and Natasha out of the corner of her eye.

    “You invited Dustin here? What a downer!” James followed her line of view and


    frowned.


    “I didn’t,” Dahlia denied tly.


    “He came without any invitation? That’s so shameless!” James grimaced. Then hist gazended on Na


    tasha, and he immediately perked up. “Hey, who’s that beauty next to him? She’s stunning!”


    “What beauty? She’s a vixen!” Florence continued rather calmly, “She was the one causing trouble at t


    he Jackson Group, and I nearly pped her!”


    “It was her?” James‘ tone turned cold, and he spat, “Shit! Dustin is so heartless. How dare he bring this


    bitch to such an important asion today? He’s such an eyesore!”


    “Look, Dahlia, he’s finally revealed his true colors. It’s a shame. You were so nice to him, yet he’s so u


    ngrateful, and even tried to ruin this asion. I have to teach him a lesson today!” As she spoke, Flore


    nce got ready to confront him.


    “Mom! Today is the opening ceremony, don’t cause any trouble!” Dahlia quickly grabbed her mother. Sh


    e knew once her mother started making a scene, it would not end well.


    “Hmph! I’ll let him get away with it this time!” Although Florence was very upset, she tried to calm hersel


    f down. No matter what, she couldn’t embarrass her own daughter.


    “Dahlia, you’re here?” Chris brought Jeff and walked over with a smile.


    “Here, I want to introduce you to someone.”


    “This is Mr. Anderson’s son, Jeff!” Chris stretched out his hand as if he was presenting something valua


    ble.


    “So, you’re Jeff Anderson? It’s a great pleasure to meet you!” James immediately tried. to curry favor wi


    th him. This was Swinton’s most distinguished elite, and he had at much more respected status than hi


    m.


    “I didn’t expect you toe, Mr. Anderson! The Nicholson family is honored!” Florence was smiling bro


    adly.


    Needless to say, Mr. Anderson’s son had to be some big shot.


    “Nice to meet you, Jeff.” Dahlia smiled and greeted him warmly.


    “You must be Ms. Nicholson. It seems the rumors are true, you’re really stunning!” Although he had nev


    er met Dahlia, he had heard of her. She was one of the Four Beauties in Swinton and a rising star.
