HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 448 - New CEOs Welcome Party (Two)



"Look at that! It was Miss Vera! Who is her handsome date tonight?" asked Nadia.

Heard the girls discussing, Hailee snapped herself and stared at the TV screen. 'Huh? Trevor? When did these two get so close to each other?'

She knew that her cousin Vera was a little distant from the boys. But judging by the way Trevor smiles and the two interact…

'Is something going on with them?'

Hailee was left puzzled. Even though Vera and Trevor look like a great match, Hailee could feel that something was off.

"Look, Hail! It was Miss Tiffany Lynch and… Wow! It was Mr. Wilson!"

Hailee was surprised to see Geoffrey together with Tiffany. Although Tiffany's older brothers are Geoffrey's closest friends, those two only treated each other as workmates.

"Gosh! Life is so unfair! Why are these women so perfect like you, Hail? They were not only rich, beautiful, and had distinguished careers. They even had a handsome boyfriend!"

Hailee could only shake her head, watching the three teenagers having a daydream. And so she put on encouraging words.

"You girls are also beautiful. You are young, and in a few years, you will even look beautiful when you girls age a little more."

"Do you think so, Hail?"

"Of course! You girls will be prettier when you get mature."

The three teenagers were delighted to hear Hailee's words. They are definitely believing in her!

However, Hailee was still left in wonder if her friends might have been into a pair for real.

Hailee watched Vera and Tiffany hug each other, then the girls whispering into their ears. She wondered what the two were chatting about as they both giggled afterward.

She wished to be there as well. She was a little envious that she could not attend her husband's welcome party as the new CEO of Davies Corporation. Anyway, her safety and her children's health are the most important at this moment. Thinking this, Hailee lowered her gaze to her baby bump and placed both of her palms, creating a circular motion.

Once again, Hailee's gaze was fixed on the TV screen. The two pairs pose together for a picture, and undoubtedly they were a good match for each other. Well, she would be happy to see her wonderful friends in a relationship. It is time for her knights to get married and have their own kids, so then the children will play together.

With that thought, a smile appeared on Hailee's lips as she started daydreaming about it. She believes it would be so fun to have playdates every weekend.

Back in the hotel, infamous tycoons wearing tailored tuxedos and coats can be seen happily laughing and mingling with champagne in their hands.

All the guests that received an invitation attended this banquet not only to witness Jacob turning over his throne but also a chance to talk business and make a deal to even become wealthier than they already have been.

As for their dates, the women are all dazzling with their evening dresses and jewelry gleaming from their bodies. It cannot deny how glamorous this evening is with these rich wives and daughters.

Near the floor-ceiling window with a view of the Opera House, Vincent casually chatted with his dad-in-law and Chairman Kingsley when Shun approached them.

"Hey, Shun! Thanks for coming!" Vincent was delighted to see this guy. He has been a great help to any trouble he and Hailee are in.

"Don't mention. I would love to take part in your welcome party because I have high expectations from you to make me even richer in the next decades."

"You are making me nervous, Shun." Vincent chuckled. The two younger men banter for a brief moment, which made the two older men laugh, watching the young businessmen chatting cheerily.

"That would mean we will also retire happily." Chairman Kingsley chimed in, joining the fun.

"You are both chairmen yourself. Don't pressure my son-in-law. I don't care whether Vincent would make my daughter even richer. All I want now is to spend time with my grandkids." Jacob stated that soon countered by Shun.

"Uncle Jacob, you promised something to me." Shun reminded the old man.

Jacob frowned and said, "Can I take it back?"

"That was an oath made by you, Uncle Jacob."

The four men laugh. Only they, who can understand what they were talking about. Chairman Kingsley was also active in the Alliance, and so he was thrilled that Jacob stepped in as an Elder.

As the merry conversation went on finally, Frederick could excuse himself from the guests that approached him for small talks.

"Vincent!"

Vincent turned his head toward his dad. He took long strides to meet him halfway, embracing each other. Fred patted his son's back as he exclaimed delightedly. "Congratulations, son!"

"Thank you, Dad…" Vincent thanked his dad. He then led him toward the three chairmen.

"Jacob…" Fred shook hands with the man before he turned his attention toward the other two men. "Chairman Kingsley, good to see again."

"Great to see you too, Frederick."

The two older men shook hands. Fred then fixed his eyes on Shun. "Master Shun, please accept my gratitude for helping Vincent all the time."

Fred humbly greeted the young man, who was known as superior in the business world and the Alliance.

"Uncle Fred, don't treat yourself as someone else. Nicholas has been thinking of you as a brother. Hailee is my beloved little sister. So, we are all family."

"It was my great honor." Fred smiled. He felt warmth in his heart to see these men unconditionally accept his son Vincent into their family.

Running Davies Corporation is a bigger step for Vincent than managing Shen Group International. It means that his son is going to rule the world along with Shun and other accomplished men that are present tonight. And as the father, he could not hide how proud he was.

"Dad Fred, Dad Jacob, Shun, and Chairman Kingsley. Please excuse me for a while. I have someone I want to speak with."

"Alright, son." Fred nodded at his son.

"Go ahead, Vincent." Jacob patted his back. Shun and Chairman Kingsley nodded their heads.

Vincent walked toward the other side of the grand hall. He approached the group of Mikael, Rob, and John.

"Hey, President Shen!"

"Thank you for coming." Vincent shook hands with the three men, then was introduced to their dates afterward.

"This is Carmen, Rob's little sister, my date tonight," said John when he was the last man to introduce his date.

"Hi, Carmen. You and Hailee are friends, right?"

"Yes. How was she? We've chatted sometimes, but I've been busy with the opening of my restaurant."

"She's really having difficulties in her pregnancy. So, she cannot come tonight." Vincent replied, an idea suddenly coming to his mind. "How about visiting her? She would love to see her friends."

"Can I?" Carmen felt excited to hear Vincent's invitation. She would definitely accept it. In the past, she was hesitant to visit Hailee because she knew everyone was tightly guarding her.

"Sure you can. Hailee would be glad." Vincent assured Carmen with a small smile on his lips. The Dawson family is the most influential in the T Country. Having a good relationship with them is essential.

Carmen glanced at John with expectant eyes. The two of them already made plans to go on a date tomorrow. But Carmen would not miss the chance to visit Hailee.

"I will drop you tomorrow." John wanted to spend more time with Carmen since the woman was busy managing her new restaurant. But he knew she and Hailee were good friends.

"Don't you want to visit me too?" Raising one eyebrow, Vincent told John.
