Chapter 182


    Ada Wang’s first visit to Medo drew much media attention, with Sawle Group’s extensive publicity


    resulting in headlines for the first three days being focused on the international superstar and the hotel


    she was staying in.


    Throughout this period, Sawle Group kept citizens’ knowledge up to date.


    Although ck and red were both shades of red, the situation of Sawle Group Hotel was particrly


    dire. It could not bear such darkness!


    For decades, Sawle Group Hotel has been renowned as the top brand hotel of Medo and the entire


    nation. It has been the preferred amodation of distinguished guests from the fields of politics,


    diplomacy, economy, culture, and sports. Whenever the former president of the East Country visited


    Medo, he stayed at Sawle Group Hotel.


    In the past six months, a series of events have caused Sawle Group Hotel’s reputation to take a


    nosedive. Now, when people think of Sawle Group, they think of Joseph’s green light and Grace’s


    notoriety.


    If one wanted to build a good image, it would take a long time, but it could copse in an instant!


    effor


    Therefore, Joseph invested considerable effort and resources to persuade Ada Wang to join and help


    restore the reputation of Sawle Group Hotel.


    He wanted to win this battle more than Chloe did.


    It was 6 p.m. in the evening.


    Outside the hotel, reporters and fans had already gathered, eager to get a glimpse of Ada Wang’s


    superstar style.


    A high-quality red carpet wasid neatly outside the door.


    “I’m an absolute die-hard fan of Ada Wang! I’ve seen all seven of her movies! Time has flown by – I’m


    finally going to meet the goddess in person!”


    “Upon examining Medo, it’s clear that the hotel must be Sawle Group! KS WORLD is an outsider, after


    all; its reputation, amenities, and conditions cannotpete with Sawle Group!”


    “Recently, however, the Sawle Group’s series of operations has been quite perplexing and opaque…”


    “That won’t impede his progress in the hotel business! Ada Wang’s presence here is a testament to


    Sawle Group’s might!”


    The bodyguard opened the door of the luxurious Lincoln.


    Ada Wang exited the car to the cheers of her adoring fans.


    Ada was a mixed-blood of the three East Law countries, with dark brown curly hair and beautiful


    Eastern-style eyebrows. She was tall at 1.76 meters, with long legs and broad shoulders that made her


    stand out among women. Her bones were deep and solid.


    Coming to Medo for the first time, she was taken aback by the enthusiasm of the fans, yet her usually


    proud and arrogant demeanor softened into a faint smile as she waved to them.


    “Ah! Ada! I grew up watching your movies!”


    “Oh my goodness! Why doesn’t she age? She’s so gorgeous!”


    Under the protection of her manager and bodyguards, Ada entered the hotel and, using a special


    ladder, made her way to the banquet hall.


    Upon seeing Ada arrive, Joseph calmly strode forward and warmly shook her hand.


    “Wee to Medo, Miss Ada!”


    Tonight, Joseph was still dressed in four elegant and handsome suits.


    His aura was just as powerful as that of the superstar.


    “Hello, Mr. Sawle,” Ada said as she shook his hand.


    “Is this your first time visiting Medo? Are you limated to it yet?”


    “My mother hails from the East, and is from Medo. Thus, Medo can be said to be a part of my family.


    Even though this is my first time here, I was captivated by the atmosphere after taking in the scent of


    the air.”


    Joseph had a good image and temperament, speaking in a proper manner that relieved the


    embarrassment of their first meeting. As they walked into the banquet hall, they talked andughed.


    Celebrities with fragrant clothes and hair filled the hall.


    The audience was captivated by Ada Wang’s presence, and even some A-list celebrities couldn’t


    contain their enthusiasm, wanting to rush up and take a photo with the superstar.


    This was a celebrity who could only be spotted at the Oscars and Cannes.


    Almost all the female stars were eagerly gazing at the handsome Mr. Sawle.


    Now that the unappealing “goalkeeper” of Grace had fallen, there were plenty of nobledies and


    wealthy men who were eyeing the position of Sawle Group’s madam.


    He was the true Fifth Diamond King; all others were mere Sixth-Rate Imitators.


    Aubree and Skyler stood at the side, champagne in hand, reduced to backboard as members of Sawle


    Group’s family. Despite their delicate makeup, their faces were dark with despair.


    “Mom, aren’t we part of the Sawle Group too? Why are we backing Joseph?”


    Skyler muttered angrily, and Aubree’s tension grew.


    Used to the glory of her life as the wife of Sawle Group’s chairman and a movie star, how could she


    stand this kind of cold


    treatment?


    Aubree, thus, donned a false smile, swayed her hips, and strode towards Joseph and Ada.


    “Miss Ada, I’ve heard a lot of great things about you. Today, I can see that you truly are remarkable.”


    Ada gazed at Joseph and said, “This is…”


    “I’m Aubree Bell, the wife of Jake Sawle, Chairman of the Sawle Group,” she said, lifting her chin


    slightly in a show of haughtiness.


    “Mr. Sawle,” Ada said without looking at Aubree, “I don’t understand what she’s saying, but there’s no


    need for you to interpret it for me; I’m not interested in her identity.”


    Aubree, with her second-half English level, onlyprehended one-third of what she was discussing.


    Just as she was about to reintroduce herself in English, Joseph smiled lightly and said, “We’re two of a


    kind. I don’t n on introducing you to anyone who doesn’t matter.”


    Aubree waspletely stunned by this sentence.


    Amidst theughter, she could still make out the conversations of those around her.


    “Wow… Ada has the audacity to respond to the wife of the chairman of Sawle Group like that. She’s


    really courageous and daring! I thought she was a good actress, but now I realize she’s acting in a


    positive manner!”


    “Wow, that’s hrious! Ada Wang is from Nialzuct, and she doesn’t seem to care about the domestic


    market at all. How can she possibly view you, the wife of the chairman of the board of directors?”


    “That’s correct. Aubree’s wealth cannot be unted in front of Ada!”


    Aubree’s face reddened, then paled, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes grew deeper as she


    heard the ridicule.


    “However,” she said, “I must admit I’m quite shameless. How can I bear it? I’m trying to put on a brave


    face and say, Miss Ada, you know our hotel and KS WORLD have always been rivals.”


    “The


    reason you decided to join us for dinner tonight is due to your appreciation of our Sawle Group Hotel.


    As the female host of Sawle Group, I am humbled.”


    Joseph’s gaze was cold and aloof.


    Female host of Sawle Group? She really knows how to tter herself.


    The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.


    Max hastily acted as the mediator, tranting Aubree’s words to Ada while stirring up the situation.

    “No, I don’t believe you’re right.”


    “KS WORLD is the same as Sawle Group, both are excellent hotels,” Ada shook her head.


    “I decided to go to Sawle Group’s dinner. It wasn’t because Sawle Group’s hotel was superior to KS


    WORLD’s, but because


    Mr. Sawle’s practical actions and charisma had a profound effect on me.”


    Ada’s words made Aubree’s cheeks flush as if she had been pped.


    Ada Wang appeared haughty and conceited, yet she was actually quite intelligent.


    By following Aubree’s words in front of everyone, even if she was just pretending, it would be


    tantamount to admitting that Sawle Group Hotel was superior to KS WORLD.


    In this way, not only would she be stepping on KS WORLD’s toes, but also risking offending one of the


    world’s top 500panies, leaving her with no other option than to let Sawle Group take charge of her


    wedding.


    She was too smart to be taken in by this woman’s trap so quickly!


    The door to the banquet hall opened, casting a slightly depressing atmosphere.


    Zoey glided in, her pink evening dress adorned with millions of stars sparkling around her. She moved


    with a light, graceful step, like a fairy among the flowers. All eyes were upon her.


    “Is she the protégé of the renowned pianist, Christian?”


    “She is not only a female pianist; she is also the sister of Young Master Anderson of the Anderson


    Group!”


    “Young Master Anderson’s sister?! Doesn’t that mean my future sister-inw?!”


    “Then who is my sister-inw? Skyler? Hmm… I’m not too fond of her. She looks really downcast.”


    Skyler suddenly let out a sneeze.


    When she spotted Zoey, her eyes darted around like radars, frantically searching for Vincent.


    In the end of her disappointment, she realized the shallowness of her rtionship with Young Master


    Anderson.


    When Zoey noticed that all eyes had moved from Ada Wang to her, she felt a great sense of pride.


    She tried her utmost to persuade Joseph to let her y the piano, with the aim of quickly bing


    renowned in Médo’s upper circles and having them remember her for it.


    The Anderson family couldn’t help but think of Vincent, an unattainable existence that could not be


    overlooked.


    Zoey, her long skirt swaying, walked step by step towards Joseph, her beautiful face beaming with an


    iparably sweet


    smile.


    Joseph, however, merely nced at her indifferently, his frigid demeanor sending her heart into a


    panic.


    Suddenly, the sound of sharp, steady, and decisive footsteps from high-heeled shoes echoed outside


    the door.


    Tok, tok, tok…


    So familiar, it’s very familiar!


    Joseph’s heart constricted as he stared fixedly at the door, not blinking.


    His breathing instantly became chaotic.
