"Dan Zimmer, head of Riverton's Flora Hall!"
"Neil Turnbull of Morhen!"
As the announcements came one after the other, every bigwig of Riverton seemed to have arrived.
All the small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) owners, along with other partners of the Lanes, were left astounded.
"I wouldn't have known that a modest family like the Lanes knows every bigwig in Riverton!"
"We have to ride on their coattails!"
"Aren't you slow? My friend works at Lane Holdings…"
"Actually, I heard that Lane Holdings called for an emergency meeting. Helen Lane is no longer CEO—it's Chaz Graves from Southstream."
"What? Wait, is it still named Lane Holdings?"
"Who knows?"
"All these bigwigs must have come because of Mr. Graves."
"No matter how pretty Ms. Lane is, she'd never get so many bigwigs to pay respects. Isn't it obvious who they came for?"
"Wait, aren't you forgetting someone? Wasn't Ms. Lane married before? Could it perhaps be her ex-husband?"
Cindy rolled her eyes when she overheard those enterprise owners. "What are you talking about? Of course they came because of Mr. Graves! Helen's ex-husband is a piece of shit, so shut up if you want to stay!"
"Yes, yes…"
As he smiled, he took out several white envelopes containing wedding invitations, leaving Robert and the rest stunned.
"What?" Gerald frowned. "Why wasn't I told that you're marrying Ms. Lane?"
"Is that why Lane Holdings' CEO changed?" Tim Yates added.
"Exactly." Chaz nodded smugly. "The Northstream Lanes and Southstream Lanes would soon be one again, thanks to my family's involvement. Henry Lane's last wish is fulfilled with this."
"What…" The bigwigs were left trading confused glances again.
Dan was glowering as he asked quietly, "Does Mr. Lawrence know about this? Did he agree to this?"
"Why would our families' matters require his approval?" Chaz chuckled coldly. "Helen and I have loved each other since we were children, and that has now borne fruit. He has no right to meddle, just as we don't need his approval—what matters is both our families' approval. What does Frank Lawrence even amount to?"
