Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal

Chapter 187 The Show Is About To Begin

The banquet reached its climax, and the host finally appeared. The crowd fell silent instantly. Having met Janet and Bryden, Emily knew that the hosts of this banquet were the low-profile wealthy Norman family. Janet and Bryden’s father was Alex Norman. He is around sixty, wearing a pure black suit. His robust physique and demeanor had the air of general, indicating a military background. Beside him stood an elegant middle-aged woman. It's Mrs. Norman. Compared to Alex's tall and burly figure, Mandy Norman was much smaller. Her face was delicate, and her figure was excellent. She seemed cautious, watching her husband give his speech with great respect. "Thank you all for coming to our family banquet. We have prepared some food and drinks, and we hope you enjoy them." Alex's speaking style matched his physique perfectly. His voice was loud and rich. Even standing on the outskirts of the crowd, Emily could hear him clearly. In some ways, Janet and Bryden resembled their mother more. As guests gradually made their way into the hall, Logan became anxious. "Where on earth is Sophia? Call her and tell her to come quickly." Grace pretended to dial her phone. She held it to her ear and then said, "It's not connecting." "Not connecting?" Logan's anger began to show. "Why can't Sophia be as obedient as Emily?" Grace was displeased, "Emily also went out on her own just now." "But Emily is back now. Where did Sophia go? If Mr. Taylor and the big boss find out, it would be so disrespectful! A young girl wandering around the host's house without permission will make people think we have no manners." Grace wasn't worried. She approached Logan and gently took his arm. "Don't worry. I heard this banquet is for Mr. Norman’s sons to select their future wives. Alex Norman has two sons: the younger one isBryden, who grew up in America, and the elder one in Europe. He is very mysterious and wealthy. Do you remember what Mr. Taylor said? This banquet was arranged by the big boss behind Mr. Taylor. This big boss and Norman’s elder son are both mysterious and rich. Norman’s elder son is the big boss behind Mr. Taylor." Logan frowned. His displeasure was evident in his tone. "What are you planning? Do you want this mysterious boss to marry Sophia? That's not possible, Grace. I can let you have your way with other things, but not this. Sophia is already engaged to Nathan. The media has reported their engagement. If she gets involved with another man, isn’t that cheating? Do you want people to laugh at me?" Logan was agitated, his voice loud. Grace quickly patted his chest, signaling him to lower his voice. "Keep it down." Logan, concerned about his image, immediately lowered his voice, but his anger remained. "Grace, tell me, is this your idea or Sophia’s?" "It doesn't matter whose idea it is. What matters is that we want to help you. You’ve worked so hard to enter high society. We want to help you achieve greater success. If Sophia marries into the Norman family, you'll certainly become a central figure in high society, and Mr. Taylor will respect you even more. We’re doing this for you." Grace’s tears seemed machine-controlled, ready to fall at any moment. As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and a few tears fell, making her look like a considerate wife who only thought of her husband's best interests. Logan fell silent. Sophia was nominally his daughter. If Sophia married Nathan, he wouldn't benefit much. The Reed Group’s shopping center project had already failed, Nathan's salary offer wasn't high, and Nathan hadn't shown him respect or importance, even displaying some arrogance. If it weren't for Grace and Sophia's constant persuasion, he might not have signed with Nathan. Today, Sophia was dressed beautifully, clearly having put in a lot of effort. If this mysterious Mr. Norman showed interest in Sophia, his status in high society would undoubtedly rise. If Sophia did marry him and the big biss became Herry’s brother-in-law, Herry’s future would be even brighter. Logan now found Sophia’s actions more acceptable. Grace watched the changing expressions on Logan's face. She lowered her head, satisfied, and tugged Logan's arm. "Dear, let's join the banquet." "Aren't we waiting for Sophia? Alex Norman and his sons should be inside…" Grace had already started pulling him forward. "I've done my research. The elder son of Alex rarely attends social events. He’s definitely not in the banquet hall but in the garden." Logan suddenly realized, "Could Sophia have already met him?" Grace smiled, "Everything depends on God's arrangement. Whether Sophia marries into the Reed family or the Norman family is up to God. We just need to support her."Grace’s words were clear. Logan thought for a moment and reminded Grace, "Make sure to tell Sophia that even if she and this mysterious boss like each other, she shouldn’t do anything inappropriate. High society values a girl’s reputation." "I know. I've already told Sophia. Don’t worry." Logan nodded, finally at ease. He put on a perfect smile and walked into the hall confidently. Grace followed, arm in arm, greeting the wealthy ladies they encountered. Emily walked in behind them. Today, she wasn't the main character but a spectator. She knew a good show was about to begin. Logan and Grace had no idea that Mr. Satan was Alex Norman's elder son and the "mysterious boss" they were discussing. The man Sophia had hooked up with wasn't a Norman at all. She chuckled softly and stepped into the hall.
