The Amazing son in law Chapter 7317
charlie Wade nodded. “Yes, Tawana invited some leaders from Bruce Automobile, and they want to discuss Feng Shui for the future. I’ll drop you home first, then head over.”
Claire said, “Hubby, if you have something to take care of, just go ahead. I can head back on my own.”
“How could I let that happen?” charlie Wade replied immediately. “I need to make sure you get home safely before I can relax. Besides, the initial discussion they’re having doesn’t involve me, so there’s no need for me to rush over.”
“I understand,” Claire said with a gentle nod, choosing not to press further.
Meanwhile, at Heaven Springs, a group of wealthy and influential figures who had flown in from the United States anxiously awaited in the diamond suite.
Tawana hadn’t arrived yet. Among those present were Steve Rothschild and his new protégé, Matt Finkelstein.
The moment these high-profile guests laid eyes on Matt Finkelstein, they realized tonight wouldn’t be an easy one.
In truth, none of them wanted to travel such a long distance to China, but Steve Rothschild’s reputation left them no choice. Reluctantly, they complied with his summons.
After waiting for several tense minutes, Don Albert entered the room, opened the door, and addressed Steve. “Mr. Rothschild, two distinguished guests have arrived.”
Everyone turned their attention to the doorway as two young people walked in behind Don Albert—Tawana and her boyfriend, Trevor.
The invited guests, who all secretly resented Tawana, grew uneasy the moment they saw her enter. Flustered, they quickly stood up in acknowledgment.
Recalling charlie Wade’s advice, Tawana walked in with a bright smile and said, “It looks like everyone’s here. Please, take your seats. Let’s eat first.”
She then turned to Don Albert and said, “Mr. Albert, please ask the staff to start serving the dishes right away.”
Don Albert nodded promptly. “Of course, Miss Sweet. I’ll have it arranged immediately.”
Don Albert left the room, and Tawana and Trevor took two empty seats beside each other.
Steve remained silent, Matt Finkelstein didn’t utter a word, and the rest of the group dared not break the uneasy quiet.
It wasn’t until the waiter brought out eight cold dishes that Tawana calmly picked up her chopsticks and said, “It’s already so late, everyone must be hungry. Let’s start eating and leave other matters for later.”
With that, she began eating heartily, setting an example.
The guests were unsure of Tawana’s intentions but were certain this dinner wasn’t purely for hospitality.
Finally, one of them gathered the courage to speak, saying, “Miss Sweet, we’ve offended you in the past. We hope you’ll consider our old ties and forgive us…”
Tawana waved her hand dismissively. “Let’s not talk about that now. Eat first. Once we’re done, someone will come to discuss things with you.”
