Chapter 18: An Unexpected Visitor
"She knew she couldn't win this fight, so she called the boss of WD. That flirtatious tone," Francine
tutted. "It looks like the two of them have some history together. She is engaged to the Taylor family.
How embarrassing it would be for them if they knew about this!"
Annetta smiled at the irony of it as she thought, "They were accusing her of snatching the gown from
Elizabeth? These people really can lie through their teeth without any sense of guilt."
Carla immediately said, "Grandpa, I was also there at that time. I saw her flirting with the WD's boss
and even told him to dismiss the shop assistant who had offended her. We all know that WD's boss is NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
married with children. I can't believe Annetta actually tried to ruin his marriage!"
Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Price, the two women who had been rebuked by Annetta in the store, also stood
up exclaiming, "Yes! It's true! We saw it happen too!"
Seeing so many people stand out to accuse Annetta, the crowd burst into an uproar.
"Did she sleep around again?"
"What do you mean?"
"Have you all forgotten that Old Master Lorin's granddaughter had been chasing the Caleb from the
Taylor family? Even he said that she was a shameless woman!"
"How shameless of her to become a mistress! It's said that the owner of WD is an old man. She even
seduced an old man!"
"So what if he's old? He's rich and powerful, no worse off than the Powells or the Whites!
Everyone started to look at Annetta with disdain.
"If this is true, she will bring shame to the Powells and Whites as well!"
"I really didn't expect the beautiful and intelligent Miss Powell to have such a daughter..."
"If Miss Powell knew about this, she would probably be turning in her grave!"
Amidst the smug eyes of Carla and others, Kevin stood out to defend Annetta. "What
hogwash! Annetta would never do such a thing!"
Then, Grandpa Lorin's voice sounded, "That's right! My granddaughter would never do such dirty
things!"
"Grandpa...Uncle Kevin..."
Annetta, who had been indifferent to all the voices, was shocked. She had not expected her
grandfather and uncle to unconditionally stand by her side even when everyone else went up against
her.
"Old Master Lorin!" A servant of the Powells rushed over. "This is bad! A group of men in black have
broken in!"
As soon as the servant had finished speaking, ten men in black outfits entered. They stood in two rows
on the patio.
While everyone was still flabbergasted, a couple in their fifties entered. When they saw Lorin, the man
cupped his hands and bowed in his direction as a sign of respect.
"Happy 60th birthday, Old Master Lorin. I wish you a happy and blessed life. Pardon me for coming
uninvited. I am Lance Foster, the owner of WD."
Everyone was astonished to hear the name 'Lance Foster'.
The man standing in front of them was classy and had an outstanding temperament. His facial features
were also very similar to the man on television. Could he be that Lance Foster? As in the famous
founder and CEO of Infinity Group, Lance Foster?
"This is my wife, Germaine," Lance said, indicating the woman beside him.
It was really the founder and CEO of Infinity Group, Lance Foster! Everyone sighed. Lance and
Germaine Foster were legendary in the business world. They had built and established the well-known
Infinity Group from scratch.
No one had expected the Powells to invite such a big shot!
Although the Powells were of high status in Toronto, they were far inferior compared to Lance Foster.
Lorin hid his astonishment. He had not had any prior interaction with Lance. Why would he show up at
his birthday party?
