Chapter 886: What is Called a Spectacle, This is a Spectacle
Celine Tucker had been in Beijing for many years, but this was the first time people showed her such blatant disrespect, and those who disrespected her were people she dared not provoke.
She could only tough it out.
On one hand, she hadn’t had time to tell her daughter about the situation at the Imperial Hotel.
*
On the other hand, Ivy Wilmar, who had initially planned to enter, stood outside, her expression stupefied as more and more people arrived.
Each one of them had an extraordinary identity, some rarely appearing at such events...
As more people kept arriving one after another, she held the Invitation in her hand, initially wanting to go in and enjoy the spectacle.
But her face color turned increasingly unpleasant, standing rooted to the spot, as if nailed to the ground, unable to leave or move!
"What is... this all about?" Ivy’s voice was a bit hoarse, incredulously watching the suddenly bustling banquet hall, almost as if she had seen a ghost.
Understandable that people like Silvania Ingram and Owen Yapiter from McKinney came, but what about those people from the Beijing families who came after?
Did Nathalie Quinlan know these people?
Right at this moment, her phone vibrated.
Ivy irritably took out her phone and saw a message from Myles Sullivan, her previous message had been a photo of Nathalie Quinlan’s graduation party, which was deserted.
Below was Myles Sullivan’s reply to her message: [Just watch the excitement, don’t cause trouble.]
Had Myles Sullivan’s message been sent ten minutes earlier, she would have mocked him a bit in return. But now, she truly lacked the courage to reply to Myles Sullivan.
And this message felt like a slap in the face, silent yet stinging.
Just watch the excitement?
She and Emilia Sullivan had specifically made the trip to watch Nathalie Quinlan’s downfall, and now... who was actually being watched?!
Emilia Sullivan didn’t know the people from Beijing; apart from recognizing a few familiar faces like Silvania Ingram, she knew many people had arrived, still cluelessly asking Ivy, "Who are all these people, and why have so many suddenly appeared? Where did Nathalie Quinlan find these sketchy characters, she couldn’t have just randomly gathered people to make up the numbers, right?"
Ivy moved her mouth but couldn’t speak.
Make up the numbers?
How many in Beijing could manage to gather people like Mr. Yancey to fill in the numbers?
To say nothing else about Nathalie Quinlan’s graduation party, it seemed half of Beijing’s top elite had shown up!
When Lowie Wilmar appeared with a young man, Ivy, whose throat had long since dried up, trembled and watched the young man’s face intently before blurting out, "Jaycent Kingsley! It’s actually Jaycent Kingsley."
Emilia Sullivan didn’t even recognize Sadam Vinson or others, let alone know who Jaycent Kingsley was. Fearlessly she turned her head, nonchalantly asking, "Who?"
"Ivy, not bothering to explain, her mind was in complete disarray.
Jaycent Kingsley, although from Beijing, wasn’t really considered part of this region; the Kingsley Family was very low-profile in Beijing, hardly attending any banquets or social engagements.
The power of the Kingsley Family wasn’t in Beijing but in the Illegal Zone.
Yet, Jaycent Kingsley himself had a very prominent reputation in the Beijing circle, known as the domestic Warren Buffett, a man young in years but capable of turning the stock market with the wave of a hand.
In the stock market, only SN could be discussed in the same breath as Jaycent Kingsley.
But SN was elusive, even more mysterious and low-key than Jaycent Kingsley, with only known ties being that SN and Jaycent Kingsley had a good private relationship and probably knew each other.
Myles and Ivy had long wanted to win over, or rather, ingratiate themselves with this powerful young man from the Illegal Zone, but despite their efforts, they had never succeeded. How could Jaycent Kingsley possibly appear at Nathalie Quinlan’s graduation party?!
Ivy held her phone, for once truly unsettled!
