Chapter 242
It was quite the grand affair today, with the influential figures of the city all gathered under one roof.
Noah Atwood, Geneva''s husband, was in charge of business affairs, so it was expected that he would
attend, and naturally, Geneva would apany him.
This grand event only inted Jan''s already inted ego. Such a gathering was an unexpected
delight. Medsafe Liyah Inc. had hosted countless parties over the years, but in terms of prestige, this
one was unrivaled.
Jan was particrly vivid, his greetings and interactions full of etiquette. He not only gave a
key executives of thepany.
The officials seemed pleased, their eyes naturally drifted to Renata, who was inseparable from Jan''s
side.
Renata, looking stunning and radiant, was a picture of perfect poise. As the hostess, she yed her
role to perfection, an exquisite essory to the event.
Jan quickly introduced Renata to the officials, clearly ustomed to using beauty as a gift.
But then things took an unexpected turn.
Mayor Arlen, after listening to Jan''s introduction, gave him a sharp look, and rather than engaging
with Renata''s friendly smile and extended hand, he asked Jan pointedly, "I''ve heard much about
your astute and capable wife, who is said to be the true founder of Medsafe Liyah Inc. Why isn''t she
here today?"
The mayor''s query caught everyone off guard, including me!
Jan''s face turned from an exuberant red to a ghostly pale, his smile frozen on his face.
Ignoring Renata was a prudent move on Mayor Arlen''s part. After all, this was a formal business event
filled with international guests. Every official was apanied by their spouse, as were the foreign
guests. In such a setting, it was indeed foolish for Jan to introduce a woman of questionable
reputation to the mayor.
Jan''s blunder was not due to ignorance but rather a result of his vanity.
After all, no man would willingly flirt with another woman in front of his wife, right?
The mayor, being the top official of Goldenvale Town, would certainly not make such a low level
mistake, as would any gentleman. Especially in such a formal setting, such a move was tantly
inappropriate.
At this moment, I felt a sense of secondhand embarrassment for Jan.
I kept my eyes on Jan, his smile painfully frozen on his face.
He quickly scanned the crowd, exining, "She''s here, Mayor Arlen. My wife has been busy greeting
the guests, oh... there she is...” The moment he spotted me, he smiled with relief.
Renata, who was still standing beside him, followed his gaze towards me.
With a graceful smile, I walked over, extending my hand, "You tter me, Mayor Arlen. Any sess
Medsafe Liyah Inc. has achieved is due to the collective effort of all our employees.”
Mayor Arlen''s face lit up with approval as he shook my hand, he then turned to his wife and introduced
me, "This is the true leader of Medsafe Liyah Inc., a woman who is every bit as capable as any man.
I''ve heard so much about her, and she''s indeed extraordinary! You should definitely get to know her
when you have the chance!"
His introduction undoubtedly drew much attention, with many media cameras focusing on me. It was
indeed ironic. While I was beingmbasted online, I was hailed as an elite by the mayor here. Isn''t that
ironic?

The trantors quickly ryed the mayor''s words to the foreign guests.
Immediately, exmations of admiration could be heard from the wives of the foreign guests.
The mayor''s wife, a woman of no ordinary stature, held my hand and smiled, "Indeed, I''ve heard about
you. You were one of the top ten young entrepreneurs in Goldenvale Town, one of the few women in
business. I remember you clearly from my time at the city''sbor union!”
Mayor Arlenughed heartily, telling the foreign guests, "Our city, Goldenvale Town, has many young
female entrepreneurs who have made significant contributions. We have a wealth of talent that should
not be underestimated!"
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a glint of darkness sh through Renata''s eyes.
