Chapter 9 The Main Character of Tonight
Chapter 9 The Main Character of Tonight
Andrew prepared her a surprised today and she was quite touched.
But saying that she would be the main character tonight was a stretch. She was afraid that she didn’t
have such capabilities and she thought that maybe Andrew was talking about being the main character
of his heart.
“Andrew!” Emily looked at Andrew and slightly gulped, she then said seriously, “Thank you.”
Even though Andrew kept lying, he didn’t disappoint her this time.
Even though they wouldn’t be able to be part of Ray’s investment plan, she was content being able to
participate in Ray’s conference.
The Andrew right now was good, it would be better if everything he said wasn’t lies.
But unfortunately, she could only wish.
Thinking about that, she voluntarily raised her hand and grabbed Andrew’s warm and large hand. By
holding his hand, she felt like what others thought of her didn’t matter anymore.
“Yo, isn’t it the daughter of the Clark family?” asked a man in suit and leather shoes, his voice filled with
disdain. This was Maxwell Cook, Jason’s father. He grinned, “The Clark family is gone, are you
representing the Martin family today?”
“Maxwell, what are you saying? The Martin family isn’t good enough to come,” said Caleb Reynolds,
the fourth son of K City’s fourth most influential family. After the Clark family fell, the Reynolds family
rose to third place.
Caleb and Maxwell were on good terms with Peter back then, but they were snobs. When the Turner
family was destroying the Clark family, they hid away, not wanting to get involved.
And now that the Clark family was gone, they came and mocked Emily.
“Maxwell, Caleb, are you guys mocking me?” Emily looked at them and asked.
She could stand the people from the Martin family mocking her, but she wouldn’t take it when people
like these who weren’t even related to her kicked her when she was down.
“Of course not, what are you saying? We just wanted to ask how did you enteredget in.”
“You two, do you remember me?”
Maxwell and Caleb exchanged glances and then they looked Andrew up and down. They leered, “We
do., Yyou are the son-in-law who leeches off the Clark family for more than 10 years. What’s your
name again? I don’t seem to remember.”
Heavy murderous intentions painted Andrew’s face., Hhe inched closer to the both of them and smiled
slightly as he said softly, “I’m Andrew. I’m back to make the people who contributed to the downfall of
the Clark family pay. I hope you guys didn’t have a hand in it.”
After that, Andrew patted their shoulders firmly and walked away while holding Emily’s hand.
The two who were left behind, their faces looked like shit.
After a brief moment, Maxwell said angrily, “What the heck? How dare he threatened me?”
“Security, get those two out of here. They are not qualified to be here.”
Maxwell and Caleb found a security guard on duty and yelled at him.
Phoenix noticed that they were talking about Andrew. His face turned grim and he said coldly to
Maxwell and Caleb, “I can kill you guys right now if you guys don’t want to live anymore.”
“You, you… Do you know who am I? I’m Maxwell Cook and he is Caleb Reynolds.” Maxwell was filled
with rage and he wanted to kill somebody.
“Get out of my face!” said Phoenix, he then proceeded to leave.
Maxwell and Caleb exchanged glances again, they felt shitty.
Andrew walked together with Emily and they found some seats. Emily couldn’t help but ask, “Andrew,
what did you say to them just now?”
Andrew answered, “Nothing much, I just wanted them to shut up.”
“Really..?” Emily couldn’t believe that Andrew could be so gutsy, as those two were from influential
families.
“Dear beloved guests and the elites of K City, good morning,” said the host with a bright voice on the
stage. He was one of the most famous hosts in K City and he was always on television.
He said a bunch of stuff and only then he went into the main topic, “Now, I will be introducing our VIPs
of today.”
Many powerful people were sitting on the stage, and the heads of the three most influential families of
K Cities, Louie Turner of the Turner family, David Webb of the Webb family and Cruz Reynolds of the
Reynolds family, were there too. Louie Turner of the Turner family, David Webb of the Webb family and
Cruz Reynolds of the Reynolds family. The rest were also influential people from other organizations.
They were all familiar faces, the people sitting up there dealt with each other quite often.
Amongst the people was a man who looked like he was in his 30s. He was in an army uniform and his
face was stern. He was sitting down but one could felt his prideful demeanordemeanour coming from a
person who fought on a battlefield before.
“You guys may not recognize him, but he is Mr. Fraser’s special guest of the day. He is the Deputy
Commander of Southland, Mr. Phoenix Morgan.”
Everyone was in awe seeing that he was already the Deputy Commander of Southland at such a
young age. What was this place again? Why did somebody like that come to the unknown K City? Mr.
Fraser had to be a very respectable person for being able to invite him over.
And then there were two people among the crowd stealing glances with each other, breaking out in
cold sweat.
“Andrew, is being the Deputy Commander of Southland respectable?” asked Emily curiously.
Andrew pondered briefly and replied, “Well yeah, he manages the whole army in Southland and can
move the army around as he please.”
Emily’s eyes were open wide upon hearing him said “Move the army around as please”.
“Someone like that is comparable to a general from back then, right?”
Andrew nodded, agreeing with what she was saying. Emily then observed Phoenix who was on the
stage more attentively.
If only Andrew held such a position, then nobody could say no to them being together.
Sigh, if only. She glanced at Andrew and looked hopeless.
“The next person I would like to introduce is the richest man of Southwest Region, Mr. Ray Fraser and
along with him is his granddaughter, Ms. Rose Fraser.”
The audience clapped loudly and stood up, trying to get a good look at Mr. Fraser.
A man who was in his 70s stood up amidst the clapping. His hair was white as snow, but his face was
glowing healthily. Next to him was a girl in double ponytails holding his arm, she was smiling brightly as
well. She wasn’t the prettiest, but she had a great aura around her and she looked like an angel.
The other powerful people from the influential families appeared meek in front of Ray.
“Good day, I thank all of you for attending my event today. I’ll keep things short. K City is a city with a
promising future and I am very interested in it. I’m here today, hoping to find someone to work together
with me. Please don’t worry., Eeverything will be carried out fair and square. Everyone who gets to
attend this event is the top businessmen of K City. I look forward to cooperating with any of you. That’s
all from me, thank you.” He finished his speech and sat down.
He said that but everyone in K City knew that Ray was here to work together with the Turner family.
Louie also thought that that was a fact and he was smiling non-stop.
The host on stage quickly said, “Please calm down, dear guests. We are soon entering the highlight of
the day. We will be waiting quietly as we wait for the lucky winner. Let’s see who will be the fortunate
one to work together with Mr. Fraser.”
The method implemented was simple., Nthe names of all people who participated in today’s event NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
would be put in a completely sealed golden box. The paper would then be drawn and the name which
was drawn would be the lucky winner.
“Are you ready to be the lucky winner?”
“What?”
“Tonight, you will be the lucky winner.”
Emily put her hand on Andrew’s forehead and shook her head hopelessly, “Thank you, Andrew. I’m
content already being able to come here and take a look at Mr. Fraser. Don’t be so naïve, everyone
here knows that the box is only filled with Louie Turner’s name.”
Emily sighed deeply and looked helpless.
Andrew looked at the host on stage., Hhe had already picked a name. He held the microphone and
was about to announce the lucky winner of today, “The person who Mr. Ray Fraser is going to work
together with is K City’s…”
He suddenly stopped, because the name on the card wasn’t the name that he was told to
read!
