Chapter 218: The Pearl of the Mellon Family
"Then it's settled. Once the renovation project in Hawaii starts, I will let you know. You have to prepare in advance."
After the conversation, many bigwigs walked side by side to the banquet hall, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.
"You damn bastard, you don't need to intervene in Duke's affairs." Li Zitao frowned at his presumptuous and sharp remarks.
"What happened?" Beckoning to the figure beside him, Li Zitao soon knew about the farce in the banquet hall.
"Hey, brother, what's the trouble?" Before he arrived, Lawrence, who was disgusted by Nanalin, rushed to Jonathan.
"A dirty sow is screaming at me." Jonathan said sharply.
"You..." Nanalin pointed at Jonathan, trembling with anger.
"Did something interesting happen here?" Li Zitao came over, smiled and hooked their shoulders.
"Yes, it's very interesting. Are you interested in learning about the real version of Snow White and the evil stepmother?" Jonathan raised his eyebrows with a strange smile.
"Well, I'm not very interested." Frowning, Li Zitao looked at Nanalin who thought he would speak for her and said, "Is this our member?"
"No, BOSS, she's just Miss Duke's escort." Ben appeared by his side in time.
"Really?" Looking back at Doris, the girl hesitated, but seeing Jonathan's encouraging gaze, she nodded firmly.
"Alright, your mission is over. We will be responsible for Miss Duke's safety here. Please leave this irrelevant lady."
Playing wild at the annual meeting of Lao Tzu's club, who gave you the courage, your dead husband?
If Mr. Barker was still alive, he would definitely give you two a big slap now.
"You can't do this, I'm her mother, I'm Buck Duke's wife, I..." Seeing that the two bodyguards actually stepped forward to take her away, Nanalin said in a panic.
"Shut up!" Li Zitao said impatiently, "If Mr. Barker was still around, you would have been kicked out of the Duke family by now."
Helping you and your ex-husband's child, come to pick on Buck's biological daughter, what the hell do you think?
There are two kinds of women in the world, one is beautiful and smart, and the other is ugly and stupid.
There is no doubt that Nanalin belongs to the second category.
As Doris' biological mother, if you can treat her better and gain her favor and respect.
With the huge network and funds of the Duke family, wouldn't it be an easy task for Doris to support her brother's business.
The family is harmonious, the children are successful in their careers, and you can get a good reputation yourself.
What now?
All the upper classes in America know that Nanalyn Duke is a mean mother.
For her own son, she even sent her own daughter to the Control Academy, if she hadn't lost a lot of money in the stock market.
If she wants to get Doris's subsidy, and the use of other assets requires Doris's signature, she may not be able to return to her home in New York.
Not to mention that she imprisons Doris at home every day, does not allow her to go out, does not allow her to appear in public, does not allow her to have her own social circle, no...
Forget it, if I go on like this, I won't be able to finish it for three days and three nights.
Seeing Nanalin struggling and being dragged down, Li Zitao clapped his hands towards the crowd and said, "I'm sorry for this unpleasant incident, but now the matter is resolved, let's continue the carnival!"
clatter——
The applause sounded, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the bosses also formed their own circles, exchanging some interesting things in life with each other.
For them, tonight's business is over, and it's time to take advantage of this rare opportunity to relax.
"Miss Duke, I wish you a good time." Pressing Jonathan's shoulder, Li Zitao said with a strange smile, and left with the little girl blushing.
"Do you think something will happen to her and Jonathan?" Lawrence frequently looked back at the two,
With a smirk on his face, he looked like a pimp with malicious intentions.
"That's his own business, you should think about your own problems." Li Zitao said angrily.
"Me? What does it have to do with me?" Lawrence asked in surprise.
"Uncle John, please let me keep an eye on you, and quickly find a qualified lady to contribute to the inheritance of the Rockefeller family."
"Oh, no!" Lawrence scratched his head in pain, "I'm only 20 years old, I haven't enjoyed my youth yet, I still—"
Lawrence complained endlessly, Li Zitao frowned and said with a sneer, "Do you want me to tell Uncle John about your naked party?"
"Hey, my favorite brother, you can't betray your friends, it's immoral, okay, okay, I surrender, but I really have no intention of getting married now."
Finding that Li Zitao was still expressionless, Lawrence instantly confessed, but kept complaining in his heart, 'Who is the Rockefeller child and why is this happening! '
"No one forces you to get married, find a suitable lady, have a relationship in public, and let people focus on your relationship, isn't that bad?"
Li Zitao didn't have the time to persuade him to be a dedicated man, his own urination was like this, and it was a bit shameless to lick his face and say that he wanted others to be dedicated.
Hearing what he said, Lawrence's eyes lit up, and he murmured: "This is a good idea, don't listen to the old man's nagging anymore, let me see—"
Seeing Lawrence watching back and forth in the venue, Li Zitao's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Ahem, Celia can't do it."
"Why?" Lawrence's gaze had already turned to Celia, the heir to Macy's, and a well-known lady in the upper class, a very suitable target.
"Could it be, you, she—" Lawrence stretched out his finger and turned it between the two.
"What are you talking about, who is she?" Adelaide walked over, followed by a girl about her age.
"We're talking about Jonathan and that Miss Duke. They seem to be falling in love." The strong desire to survive made Li Zitao instantly turn his gaze to the right.
"This is really good news." Adelaide glanced at her, then said to the two with a smile, "I introduce a lady to you, Avril Mellon."
"Hey, here comes your target." Li Zitao murmured quickly, taking off his hat to miss Mellon.
Avril Mellon, the youngest daughter of the Mellon family, is also Andrew Mellon's favorite apple.
"You can call me Lawrence, can I call you Avril? Deliberate addressing will always distance people."
With such kung fu, Lawrence is already trying to close the distance with Avril.
