Chapter 19: Monica’s Welcoming Banquet
Mr. Harry Adams was celebrating his daughter's return from overseas. Luxury cars lined up as guests
dressed in their finest entered the hotel to attend the welcoming banquet.
This was a private banquet. All invited guests were from the upper class of Jameson City. In order to
show their respect and to introduce his daughter, who had been studying abroad, Mr. Harry and his
daughter personally received the guests at the entrance of the banquet hall. Standing there, they could
spot the guests getting out of their cars through the glass window.
Harry introduced the incoming guests to his daughter. "Monica, that person is Mr. Richard Baker and
his wife. He is involved in the jewellery business. His daughter is married to the second son of the
Moore Group. With the support of Moore Group, his jewellery business had improved by leaps and
bounds!"
"Dad, I hate political marriages like this the most," Monica replied in disdain.
Harry patted Monica's hand and smiled knowingly. "I know, don't worry. I won't arrange your marriage. I
have no need to exchange my daughter's happiness for financial gain"
Monica snuggled up to Harry. She looked up at her father and smiled. "Of course. The Adams Family
has always been the best in Jameson City. We don't need an alliance."
"Adams Family is no longer the best in Jameson City. Scott Group has overtaken us," Harry answered
with a laugh.
"Scott Group?"
Harry beamed widely. "Speaking of which, the president of Scott Group is a promising young man. You
will see him soon!"
Monica had no interest in the president of Scott Group. She looked through the glass window and saw
two people walking over. "Dad, is that Clara holding onto Walter's arm?"
"Yeah, that's Clara. She's grown up too!"
"Oh my god, I really didn't expect her to be so beautiful! She looked ugly when she was younger!"
Monica exclaimed in surprise.
Harry reminded his daughter. "Monica, don't be so direct. You should be careful with your words so that
you would not offend others."
"But I'm telling the truth." NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Harry was about to say something when he saw a black car pulled up. He immediately nudged
Monica's hand and said, "Look, Mr. Wilson Scott is here!"
Monica looked up and saw Wilson getting out of the car. He was wearing a black tuxedo that fitted his
tall and slender figure. He turned and Monica saw his fine features. He looked like a prince out of a
fairy tale. Her heart skipped a beat.
"Dad, so this is the best in Jameson City, Mr. Wilson?" Monica asked excitedly. She could feel her heart
beating faster.
"Yes, this is the young man I've talked about!" Harry was satisfied with his daughter's reaction.
In actual fact, Harry had intended for his daughter to meet Wilson. Of course, he would not arrange a
marriage for her, but Wilson was the best candidate for his daughter. Harry admired Wilson's capability
and hoped that he would become his son-in-law. Adams Group needed an outstanding person to
manage it in the future.
"Who is that woman?" Monica asked when she saw Wilson helping a woman out of the car.
Harry shook his head. "I don't know her."
"Dad, I like this Mr. Wilson!" Monica declared.
Harry slapped his forehead. "My dear, you can show your interest but girls should be more reserved.
You have to change the way you communicate with others. Don't just say anything that pops into your
head."
"Alright, dad. I'll remember!" Monica pouted.
Harry patted Monica's hand with a smile. "Come, say hello to Mr. Wilson!"
"Hello, Mr. Wilson. My name is Monica. Nice to meet you!"
