Javier remained a straight face upon hearing that. However, his eyes betrayed a myriad of emotions.
“Oh! I heard about this before. Come on! It has been so many years, and someone still brought it up.
Don’t
they have better things to do?” someonemented
Another personmented, “I’m sure it’s jealousy! They can’t stand seeing the attention she gets on
her
birthday. Besides, she married a wealthy man and is beautiful!
“They can’t stand all that, so they resorted to digging up old dirt. It’s an everyday urrence.
“It happens all the time with celebrities managed by my entertainmentpany. They’re always
backstabbing and spreading rumors for no good reason!”
Javier pursed his lips and furrowed his brows slightly. Even though they were just expressing their
opinions without mentioning anyone, he still felt an indescribable difort.
“Mr. Taylor is truly a loyal person.”
“Indeed. After all, L was an actress and on! gave birth to a daughter. Yet, Mr. Taylor treats her well. It
truly speaks volumes about his character!”
Upon hearing those words, the guests nodded in agreement. On the other hand, Dominic smiled
awkwardly. He could not help but feel resentful.
He h
thought by bringing up this matter, people would see Winston as aughingstock. To Dominic’s dismay,
his n backfired.
To make things worse for him, the attendees even praised Winston. He thought they were status-
conscious, trying to bootlick Winston at every opportunity.
Javier looked up to check the time. Then, he nced around. Nevertheless, Jasper was nowhere to be
seen.
“Mr. Javier, why isn’t Mr. Beckett here? This is an important asion, after all,” Dominic asked

Javier replied, “Oh, he’ll be here soon.”
“Is that so? That’s great!” Dominic eximed as his eyes lit up.
In the next rond, his tone became more polite. “Our group is currently working on a promising project
It’s rted to environmental causes, something the country is supporting.
“Jonah has assigned this project to me, and right now, I’m looking for partners.”
Then, Dominic briefly exined the project to Javier. Thetter nodded in response, showing some
interest.
“My daughter, Renee, had recentlye up with two great coboration proposals. She’ll be joining us
“Shall I find a ce for us after the cocktail party? Why don’t you and Mr. Beckett join us? Then, we
can discuss more about it. How does that sound?” he asked with a smile.
Javier frowned. “Your daughter?”

daughter. Her name is Renee Taylor. She’s the same age as my brother’s daughter,
Alyssa,” answered Dominic.
“But she’s younger than Alyssa by four months. She studied at the top university in Hestrya and
received a full schrship every year. She even worked as a trantor for Hestrya’s president.
“Upon returning to the country, she joined KS Group with her capabilities. She has always been
working as the director of product design,” Dominic proudly introduced his daughter.
It was as if he was marketing a high-end product he had personally crafted.
However, the guests nearby scoffed silently after hearing what he said. They knew that Dominic’s
daughter, Renee, did not need to possess any qualifications to join KS Group. Who did he think he was
fooling?
Javier did not know how to respond and reluctantlymented, “Oh, what an outstanding youngdy.”
“It’s settled then! I’ll make arrangements after the cocktail party!”
Javier was slightly taken aback. After all, he did not agree to meet Dominic after that.
Although he was not young, he was far from senile. Javier could see that Dominic was just using the
business meeting as an excuse.
The real purpose was to introduce Panee to him and create an opportunity for Jasper to meet her.
“Mr. Dominic, my father hasn’t answered yet. How could he have settled anything with you?”
