Hide Your Identities Or Inherit Millions - Chapter 29
Chapter 29
They had never expected that Sir and Lady Williams would bring their younger daughter, Emily, to the event!
They came just to attend a coming-of-age ceremony?
It’s about making a big deal out of it!
Sophia and Lady Williams were grade school classmates, but they were hardly close.
Sophia had only decided to send them an invitation because Lady Williams had offered to pick up Elizabeth for her last time. She hadn’t actually expected them to come.
This was the Williams family, after all, a super-wealthy powerhouse that could do anything they wanted in Metro City.
The Wilson family, though affluent, was nothing compared to them.
Lady Williams, dressed in a red evening gown, looked dignified and elegant. She warmly hugged Sophia and said, “Long time no see.”
Sophia quickly regained her composure and said, “Yes, it’s been almost twenty years, hasn’t it?”
“I can’t believe it’s been that long.” Lady Williams smiled and pulled Emily forward, “This is my younger daughter, Emily. Go ahead, say hello.”
“Hi, Lady Wilson,” Emily said sweetly, her pretty face glowing, “Can I go and find Elizabeth?”
They were, after all, sort of friends.
“Of course, she’s upstairs,” Sophia said softly.
“Okay, bye, Lady Wilson; bye, Sir Wilson,” Emily waved and skipped inside.
Lady Williams frowned, “This child really needs to learn some manners.”
“It’s fine, she’s adorable,” Sophia said, feeling a little uneasy due to the gap in their statuses.
After exchanging a few polite words with Sir and Lady Williams, Sir and Lady Wilson quickly arranged for their son, Jack, to attend to them.
The arrival of Sir and Lady Williams made the entire party buzz with excitement. It was as if a walking contract had entered the room. Yet nobody dared to approach them; they could only admire the Wilson family in silence.
Just when everyone thought that the arrival of Sir and Lady Williams was shocking enough, another jaw-dropping guest appeared!
When Peter stepped out of the car, Sir and Lady Wilson were utterly bewildered.
Of course, they recognized this influential figure, but why would he make an appearance here?
Sir Wilson reflected for a moment. He had recently collaborated with a subsidiary of Fortune Law Group, so he had sent an invitation to their project manager.
Why would Peter, who was distantly connected through Fortune Law Group, decide to come?
Fortune Law Group was only second to Williams Enterprises. But what was remarkable was how Fortune Law Group had risen to prominence within a few years, quickly matching Williams Enterprises in influence.
Moreover, their technological research was extremely advanced, having developed countless groundbreaking projects. It could be said that globally, no company operated without using Fortune Law Group’s technology.
Peter was so young, in his late twenties, and had become a legend in Metro City.
Sir Wilson admired the young man but was also cautious around him due to the social class difference.
Rumor had it that the real powerhouse behind Peter was even more frightening—a man whose technology could change the world and whose influence could squash anyone with ease.
Sir Wilson thought to himself that it was good that only Peter had come; if the real powerhouse showed up, he would probably have a heart attack from the stress.
Lost in thought, he pondered, did they really have such high status?
Their daughter Linda’s coming-of-age ceremony had not only invited the Williams family but also Peter, the young magnate from Fortune Law Group.
“Linda! It’s Peter! Oh, he’s so handsome! I’ve only seen him on TV. This is my first time seeing him in person. You are so influential! I was already surprised that the Williams family would come to celebrate your birthday, but Peter too?”
Lily Wilson, a distant relative and close friend of Linda, felt a surge of pride and satisfaction at seeing such prominent figures attending Linda’s ceremony.
Who else in the country could have the leaders of two major corporations attend their coming-of-age ceremony?
This grand ceremony would give Linda enough stories to last a lifetime.
