Chapter 1681 Dance
"Daryl, is there something wrong with your hand?"
Little John Hurst grabbed his wrist and asked with a smile on his face.
"Let go."
Daryl Samuel smiled slightly, and when he looked at John Hurst Jr., he glared at him fiercely.
"Miss Hilton, it would be an honor for me to invite you to the first dance."
Little John Hester turned a deaf ear to his threats, and the gentleman bowed to invite the hostess.
"It seems that beautiful creatures can always arouse people's resonance. It is an honor to meet you, Miss Hilton." Joseph Ecos also came to join in the fun.
Gently holding Frances's fingers with long white gloves, he kissed her and said romantically: "Your beauty makes the world shaken. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to dance with you."
Seeing the men present flocking to the table, everyone wanted to invite Frances to dance the first song.
Aiden was still standing beside him stupidly, Lebra touched him with his shoulder and said, "Aren't you going?"
"What are you going to do?" Aiden said pretending not to care.
"If you don't go, you really won't have a chance." Lebra pushed him funny and said, "Don't tell me you're still here to drink."
Before Aiden could speak, Lebra raised her hands and shouted: "Here...Frances, he wants to dance the first dance with you."
The guests present were all prominent families, and the ballroom ball was held in the castle of the Vanderbilt family.
In such a high-class occasion, someone was shouting like a street vendor, and everyone frowned and looked into the corner.
Lebra kept jumping and waving, and when Frances looked at her, she quickly pointed forward excitedly.
Aiden Lee, the expressions on everyone's faces when they saw him were wonderful.
Especially Little John's face, as if painted with paint, turned from white to red, then blue, and finally turned sickly pale again.
"Damn bastard!" Little John clenched his fists and only dared to curse in anger in his heart, because Aiden had already walked over from the corner.
After being pushed out by Lebra and attracting everyone's attention, Aiden naturally wouldn't hesitate to hide anymore. That's not his character.
On the other hand, Stewies looked at Aiden with a strange look, as if he was thinking of something, and as if he really knew him for the first time.
"I knew this guy wouldn't give up." Ike, standing next to Thwaites, said sarcastically and jealously.
"Are you familiar with Aiden?" Stewies asked curiously.
After arriving in New York, all her perceptions have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Although she knew from the beginning that Frances and Aiden were not as ordinary as they appeared.
But she never thought that Frances would be the eldest daughter of the Hilton family.
Now listening to Ike's tone, Aiden didn't just know Frances in order to participate in this senior social dance.
Hearing Stewies' question, Ike was surprised and asked; "You don't know him. It seems that your relationship is not as close as you said."
Narrowing his eyes in amusement, Ike continued: "Aiden Lee, the successor of the Lee family...do you know what people in New York say?"
Stewies opened his mouth wide and looked at Ike at a loss.
The other party's expression made him very satisfied, and he said to himself: "The prince of the Li Dynasty and the crown prince of the financial empire, doesn't it sound very powerful?"
sharp?
Not only was it powerful, but Sweets' brain was buzzing, and everything he saw became illusory and distorted, lacking a sense of reality.
The historical conglomerate is the most powerful economic complex in the 20th century. Even the old American consortiums, the Rockefeller Consortium and the Morgan Consortium are also included in its pockets.
The 'facts' that Thwaites learned were limited, and exaggeration accounted for a large proportion. Rockefeller and Morgan were not Lee's vassals.
The two consortiums are important members and components of the Lee Group, and each maintains a large number of high-quality unique assets.
However, the cooperation and relationship between Lee, Rockefeller and Morgan are not information accessible to the general public.
"Can I ask you to dance?" When Thwaites came to his senses again, Aiden had already held Frances's hand and walked onto the dance floor.
Everyone spontaneously formed a circle and looked at the golden boy in the center of the dance floor.
"Looks like I have to be a foil again." Joseph Ikos joked, not looking unhappy.
The children of a family like him have to attend countless social dances like this before they reach adulthood and before they get married.
He has long become unfazed by honor and disgrace. Regardless of whether he has gained something or not, it is not that important to him, not to mention that it is his own people who steal his limelight.
The Ikos family and the Li family have always maintained a good friendship. Although the two parties have little business contacts, they are old business compliments.
Marina Ikos also admired Charlie Lee and wanted to cooperate with Lee in business.
As the eldest son of the next generation of the family, Joseph would naturally not turn against the Li family's designated successor because of a woman.
Anyone who knows anything about the Li family knows that as long as he does not die unexpectedly or suddenly become an idiot, Aiden Lee will be the legal heir to the Li family consortium.
"It's just using his family's identity and relying on himself..." Little John said unconvinced.
"It's not something you can compare to. Just accept this reality. There is still a place for you in New York." Joseph said sarcastically with a smile.
Seeing that Little John was still unconvinced, he continued: "Besides, if it weren't for your family background, what qualifications do you have to stand here?"
After being suddenly interrupted and yelled at in the heart, Little John felt too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he turned around with a blush and pushed the door open to leave.
"Did he escape in shame?" Daryl Samuel stood where Little John had been.
"Absolutely." Joseph Ikos looked at him and asked; "Before I could congratulate you, Shell's stock price rose for five consecutive years, arousing investors' pursuit."
"Congratulations." Daryl Samuel said with a smile: "Your personal assets are going to increase again, why don't you buy me a drink?"
"Of course it's no problem." Joseph Ecos lowered his head and whispered into his ear; "Do you have any inside information? I don't want to become a pauper."
Daryl Samuel looked around and whispered: "46.5."
Joseph Ikos nodded in understanding, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled happily: "Tomorrow night, you find a place, and I will pay the bill."
Daryl Samuel pointed to the center of the dance floor and said: "Maybe he is faster than you. Maybe we will attend the wedding tomorrow."
Joseph Ikos shook his head and said: "I don't think so, but it's okay to give him a drink. Who let him steal everyone's limelight today?"
The two of them were talking and laughing, but they had their own plans in mind.
It was true that he wanted to knock Aiden out for a drink, but it was such a good opportunity. If he didn't talk about some money-making ideas, wouldn't it be a waste of a perfect opportunity.
