A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce - Chapter 502

Chapter 502:

🍙 🍙 🍙 🍙 🍙

It was evident that Belinda and Madisyn showed a deeper concern for Joyce than the Miller family ever had.

So, what exactly was their relationship with Joyce?

If they were indeed friends with her, why had he never heard Joyce or Cathy mention them over all these years?

Even Belinda had never spoken of them to him.

When Belinda, Madisyn, Avery, and Joyce arrived at the ground-floor ceremony hall, it was bustling with activity.

Tonight marked not only the engagement of Kristopher, CEO of Cox Group, to Cathy from the Miller family, but also the signing of a comprehensive partnership between Cox Group and Miller Group. Interestingly, the signatories were Anthony and Humberto, not the engaged couple.

As a result, the event drew an exceptionally large crowd.

The allure of a union between two prominent families, combined with the rare spectacle of the seasoned businessman Anthony personally signing a deal, attracted many attendees.

Moreover, with Cathy’s fame in the entertainment industry, numerous celebrities, media personnel, and reporters swarmed the venue for coverage.

Soon, Nawrin’s most prestigious five-star restaurant was teeming with guests, creating a scene of mild chaos.

Madisyn looked around in disbelief.

“I had someone look into the guest list when Kristopher and Cathy were sending out invitations… It shouldn’t have been this crowded,” she remarked.

Belinda offered a knowing smile and replied,

𝘾𝙤𝙥𝙮 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚: 𝗀𝖺𝗅𝗇𝗈ν𝖊𝗅𝘀⸳𝖼𝗈𝗺

“Despite Anthony’s retirement, his legendary status in Nawrin’s business circles hasn’t waned. Everyone here is eager to network with him. His first public appearance in over a decade to sign a business cooperation agreement has stirred quite the excitement. Those who look up to him, eager to unlock the secrets of success and networking, are naturally flocking here.”

She then cast a sly glance at Madisyn.

“With more people around, it’s easier for us to make our move, wouldn’t you agree?”

Madisyn stood in stunned silence for a few moments before it dawned on her.

“So Anthony didn’t just arrange a private jet for your getaway. He also orchestrated his public return for this moment! I was puzzled why Anthony would overshadow his grandson’s engagement by signing with Humberto himself, especially when Kristopher could have easily handled the Miller family agreement. It all makes sense now. He knew his presence would draw a bigger crowd tonight!”

She concluded her thoughts with a sigh.

“Anthony is genuinely decent, and it’s just unfortunate his heirs don’t measure up, what with an ungrateful grandson and a foolish granddaughter…”

“Madisyn!”

Before she could say another word, Maggie’s furious voice cut through the air. “Say that again! Who did you just call a fool?”

Belinda’s eyebrows shot up as she instinctively turned towards the source of the outcry.
