When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1321
Pitcoin continued trending, but the Queens and the Zieglers’ court case had be a piping hot topic
and everyone was waiting for the final verdict.
Some people looked forward to seeing the nouveau riche cum business legend emerge to victory
miraculously, while others envisioned K City’s number one career woman bowing in apology. They had
different reasons for wanting to see her fall, but ultimately, everyone was eager to push Thora and her
investmentpany into the eye of the storm.
However, before Thora announced her response, it was Bryson’s father, William’s birthday.
Bryson had already sent an invitation to the Stovall residence, stating that the entire Stovall family was
invited. Due to Louis’ status, he found an excuse to politely refuse. Hence, only John, Emma and I
attended the banquet.
The Queen family managed to knock Ziegler Corporation down a notch because of thewsuit. Once
word got out, businessmen all over K City no longer treated Bryson coldly. On the day of the banquet,
the scene was surprisingly lively. When we arrived, there were already a few rarely-seen owners of
listedpanies chatting away happily with Bryson.
“Oh, Ms. Stovall!” Bryson instantly spotted us when we passed through the doors, leaving his guests to
come over and greet us. “I don’t know why the staff didn’t announce the arrival of my distinguished
guests. I’m so sorry for my poor hospitality.”
“This must be Mr. Stovall. I’ve heard a lot about you from Brooklyn and I have to say, your reputation
precedes you!”
Then, turning a blind eye to John’s stoic expression, Bryson grabbed his hand with both hands and
shed a ttering smile at him.N?velDrama.Org content.
John wasn’t a snob. Moreover, he had heard that Bryson was a decent person from me. Thus, he
wasn’t angry and instead, spoke in an amicable tone. “You’re too kind, Mr. Queen. It’s your father’s
birthday today. My uncle wanted to drop by to see him, but he’s just too busy with his official duties and
really couldn’t step away, so he wanted me to wish your father a blessed birthday and a long life on his
behalf. However, I’ll have to trouble you to ry this message, Mr. Queen. There are too many guests,
so we won’t be going over.”
“Thank you, Mr. Stovall. I’ll definitely pass on your message. Please, enjoy yourselves tonight!” Bryson
smiled from ear to ear and quietly surveyed his surroundings. Then, he leaned closer to us and
whispered, “Socializing is exhausting. If you guys get tired, go out from the side door and walk all the
way to the end. I’ve specially prepared a private room for you to rest. When the banquet is almost over,
you cane on out again. Nobody would know.”
We were dumbfounded by the degree of Bryson’s double standards. I never thought that such a burly
and rough-looking man would be so thoughtful.
However, the Queen family was the star of the night after all. As soon as he finished speaking, more
guests poured in.
“Mr. Queen!” A man came over with his family and shook hands with Bryson. Subsequently, his gaze
landed on John and I. “This must be Mr. Stovall and Ms. Stovall. I’ve heard so much about you both.”
“You tter us.” I smiled lightly and nodded in greeting before smoothly steering the topic back to
Bryson. “Mr. Queen, we’ll leave you to attend to your guests.”
Before he could respond, I exchanged nces with John and Emma before walking toward a corner.
As soon as we left, many guests crowded around Bryson, sandwiching him in the middle as they
engaged in a merry conversation.
John stopped a waiter who was passing by to ask for three sses of champagne, then handed Emma
and me one each. “I never expected Bryson Queen to be so well-known in K City. It’s a shame we
didn’t get acquainted sooner.”
“The Queen family only made a fortune in the past few years.” Emma lifted her champagne flute to her
lips and took a sip before calmly analyzing, “I find it rather peculiar though. All three generations won
the lottery one after another. Then, they relied on other capitalists to be capitalists themselves.
Ordinary people can only dream of having such luck.”
“Relying on luck isn’t realistic. Sooner orter, that luck would run out and their entire fortune with it,”
Johnmented disapprovingly.
Emma rolled her eyes at him. “Does Bryson look like an idiot to you?”
“Stop being so cryptic. Just say whatever it is you want to say.” John’s face instantly clouded over.
I noticed that this was a frequent urrencetely. Whenever Emma started talking, he would
immediately get defensive.
