"Dan Zimmer, head of Riverton''s Flora Hall!"


    "Neil Turnbull of Morhen!"


    As the announcements came one after the other, every bigwig of Riverton seemed to have arrived.


    All the small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) owners, along with other partners of the Lanes,


    were left astounded.


    "I wouldn''t have known that a modest family like the Lanes knows every bigwig in Riverton!"


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    "We have to ride on their coattails!"


    "Aren''t you slow? My friend works at Lane Holdings..."


    "Actually, I heard that Lane Holdings called for an emergency meeting. Helen Lane is no longer CEO—


    it''s Chaz Graves from Southstream."


    "What? Wait, is it still named Lane Holdings?"


    "Who knows?"


    "All these bigwigs must havee because of Mr. Graves."


    "No matter how pretty Ms. Lane is, she''d never get so many bigwigs to pay respects. Isn''t it obvious


    who they came for?"


    "Wait, aren''t you forgetting someone? Wasn''t Ms. Lane married before? Could it perhaps be her


    exhusband?"


    Cindy rolled her eyes when she overheard those enterprise owners. "What are you talking about? Of


    course they came because of Mr. Graves! Helen''s ex-husband is a piece of shit, so shut up if you want


    to stay!"


    "Yes, yes."


    The SME owners naturally did not dare to argue despite Cindy''s outburst, since they were hoping to


    get rich with a partnership with Lane Holdings.


    "We shall be going now, Ms. Lane." Robert and the other Riverton bigwigs started to leave after paying


    their respects.


    They only came out of respect for Frank and would naturally not stay a moment longer.


    "Oh, Mr. Quill, Mr. Simmons—we''ve actually prepared tables for everyone. If you''re not too busy."


    However, Gina promptly stopped them. With bigwigs such as them, keeping them here to show


    everyone that they were friends of the Lanes bore inestimable benefit to the Lane family''s future.


    Chaz also came to invite them. "That''s right, Mr. Quill. Please at least stay for dinner."


    "That''s unnecessary. We still have other things to do."


    Robert and everyone else''s reaction was the same.


    Chaz did not press the issue and hence changed the subject. "In that case, Helen and I are getting


    married in a few days. Since you''re here, I wouldn''t have to have these delivered."


    As he smiled, he took out several white envelopes containing wedding invitations, leaving Robert and


    the rest stunned.


    "What?" Gerald frowned. "Why wasn''t I told that you''re marrying Ms. Lane?"


    "Is that why Lane Holdings'' CEO changed?" Tim Yates added.


    "Exactly." Chaz nodded smugly. "The Northstream Lanes and Southstream Lanes would soon be one


    again, thanks to my family''s involvement. Henry Lane''sst wish is fulfilled with this."


    "What..." The bigwigs were left trading confused nces again.


    Dan was glowering as he asked quietly, "Does Mr. Lawrence know about this? Did he agree to this?"


    "Why would our families'' matters require his approval?" Chaz chuckled coldly. "Helen and I have loved


    each other since we were children, and that has now borne fruit. He has no right to meddle, just as we


    don''t need his approval—what matters is both our families'' approval. What does Frank Lawrence even


    amount to?"
