Chapter 1116 An Important Guest

Still, James kept his head lowered and stayed silent.

In the meantime, Felicia waved her hand. “Ignore him. They’re just asking for trouble! I shall see how

long they will be able to kneel!”

Upon hearing that, everyone burst out in laughter, as if they were watching a funny scene from a

movie.

As for Eric, he was exceptionally satisfied. He smiled and said, “Felicia, I finally won’t get bullied now

that you’re back. I shouldn’t have married you off to somewhere as far as Mightwater. Otherwise, how

could an old man like me possibly be bullied in this manner?”

Then, Felicia smiled. “Dad, don’t you worry. I’ll be staying in Eastcliff from today onward!”

After Felicia finished saying that, the rest of the Cunningham Family were astonished. Eric asked

curiously, “Felicia, are you saying you’re not going back to Mightwater anytime soon?”

Felicia replied, “Recently, I’ve accepted a huge offer worth more than 2 billion! I’ll be helping a big

company with the construction work for its infrastructure. I’ve already handed my company abroad over

to my subordinates. Over the next few months or years, I will prioritize my business in Eastcliff!”

Upon hearing that, everyone was hepped up. Meanwhile, Jason asked earnestly, “Which company is it,

Felicia? That’s one hell of a big project!”

With a smile on her face, Felicia said, “Gonzalez Corporation! Have you guys ever heard of it? A

famous big company from abroad recently tendered a project worth tens of billions in Eastcliff, and my

company contracted the infrastructure work for this project. Once this project completes, I will get at

least 700 to 800 million!”

At once, the members of the Cunningham Family were thrilled to bits. Feeling proud of Felicia’s

capability, Eric constantly nodded. “Felicia, you’re still the competent one out of all my children! With

you in Eastcliff, I’m sure the Cunningham Family will flourish!”

Upon hearing that, Felicia let out a hearty laugh. “Dad, this is just the beginning. Don’t mind telling you

all, but I’m actually on good terms with Miss Gonzalez of Gonzalez Corporation. She’s the chairman’s

daughter and also the president of the branch company of Gonzalez Corporation in Cathay! Within the

following months, I’ll definitely profit a lot from Gonzalez Corporation’s projects. When the time comes,

the Cunningham Family will work alongside them. It will definitely be more profitable than Cunningham

Pharmaceuticals!”

Once again, everyone in the Cunningham Family was pumped up. It was as if they could see

themselves rising to the top.

As everyone was chit-chatting in the room, the door suddenly opened. Then, a young couple entered

the room with Zion.

Instantly, Felicia got up and introduced them to everyone in the room. The young couple was Zion’s

son and Felicia’s daughter. Besides celebrating Felicia’s return to Eastcliff, tonight’s dinner was also

actually meant to discuss their engagement.

With an indifferent facial expression, Zion casually greeted everyone from the Cunningham Family. In

all honesty, he was completely unconcerned about any of the Cunningham Family’s members. After all,

he was among the top ten richest people in Eastcliff. Furthermore, Felicia’s daughter could claim ties of

kinship with the Fowlers through her engagement with his son. Therefore, in Zion’s opinion, it was

Felicia’s daughter who had more gain, seeing as how the status of the Cunningham Family was not on

par with the Fowlers.

But, fret not, he had three sons. This youngest son of his was a dandy, so he was considered of no use

to him. Hence, it did not matter to whichever woman he decided to marry!

Upon seeing there were two people kneeling in the room, he simply pursed his lips and did not bother

to pay much attention to them.

On the other hand, the members of the Cunningham Family constantly fawned on Zion with flattering

words, as if they were truly related. As someone of a higher social status, Zion naturally understood the

thoughts in their mind. However, he simply dismissed them perfunctorily in a few words and did not

even bother to take a few sips of his wine.

Even so, the members of the Cunningham Family were over the moon. After all, he was Zion Fowler,

and it was considered a great honor to be able to have a few drinks with him.

Just as everyone was chitter-chattering, the door suddenly opened. It was Desmond. He pushed the

door and entered. “Oh, Director Zion! I heard you came! Please forgive us if we did not serve you well,”

Desmond said smilingly.

Upon seeing Desmond, Zion immediately got up and greeted him. After all, they were both listed as the

top ten richest people in Eastcliff. Besides, there was no competition between the two of them. So, their

relationship was considerably good.

When the members of the Cunningham Family saw Desmond come in to greet them personally, they

felt even more honored. Immediately, they got up and greeted Desmond back.

However, Desmond merely dismissed them perfunctorily in a few words. Then, he smiled. “Director

Zion, I’ll talk to you again later. I have an important guest over with me, so I’ll need to get going first!”

Zion was surprised. “An important guest? Who is it?”

Desmond leaned over to Zion’s ear and whispered, “Mr. Larson.”
