Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Four Great Families, Chu Jiang Bai Gu

As everyone knows, the Jennings Family and the Gibney Family have always been at odds.

Even in the same setting, no matter how they come together, the two families always find a way to secretly compete with each other.

However, this situation has improved since Scarlett Jennings helped solve the problem of Derek Gibney’s daughter being affected by the Cat Spirit’s Resentful Energy last time.

It’s just that outsiders are unaware of these details.

“Originally, Faith was supposed to come today, but she had a stomach upset just when she was about to leave, which delayed her a bit.”

Given Derek Gibney’s status, he didn’t need to explain this specifically.

However, he came today for Scarlett Jennings’s sake, and having just heard about some of the happenings upon entering the garden, he didn’t mind saying a few more words, also to show his attitude to the guests.

With both Samuel Chalmers and Derek Gibney having spoken up, the guests cooperatively followed the staff’s guidance to go and rest first.

As the protagonist, Scarlett Jennings also needed to change into a new gown.

Fortunately, at a banquet like this, everyone doesn’t just prepare one set of clothing, so Scarlett quickly changed into another outfit.

When she and the other guests returned after taking a break, the scene that had been messed up was already rearranged.

Coinciding with the onset of decorative lights, the amusement park was illuminated with various colorful and dazzling lights, presenting a different kind of dreamlike scene from the daytime.

When the evening banquet officially began, all the guests seemed to have forgotten the earlier “incident” and quickly immersed themselves in the joyful atmosphere of the banquet.

Many distant guests watched the main table where Samuel Chalmers, Donovan Jennings, and Derek Gibney were sitting and talking, their eyes full of envy.

These three can be said to be the most outstanding young people of Sea City.

They represent the core strength of the younger generation within the top aristocratic circles of Sea City.

Besides Samuel Chalmers, who has already assumed the position of Family Head, the other two are each their family’s prospective heirs.

They are the targets of envy for the younger generations of each family and also their nightmares at the same time,

“Ever since the Great Demon King ascended the throne, I haven’t seen these three gather together in a long time.”

One of the younger generations whispered to the person next to them,

“Seeing the three of them, when I get home, my parents are going to lecture me again.”

“Exactly,” the person beside them whispered in agreement, “Originally, my older brother was already competitive enough, the pressure at home was already that great, and now the external pressure is even greater…”

“Sigh…”

A few of them sighed in unison, and someone couldn’t help but start gossiping,

“Do you think the rumor about Samuel and Scarlett Jennings’s engagement is true? Didn’t they say before that they were just dating?”

“The Great Demon King just said it, Scarlett is his fiancée, so how can it be fake?”

One person said, then looked at the person who had gossiped,

“You actually dare to question the Great Demon’s words… you’re finished.”

“…How am I questioning!? Don’t pin that on me, I was clearly just shocked! The old one at home said a few days ago that the two families might form an alliance, who knew they silently got engaged…”

“In my opinion, Scarlett is the most impressive.”

Someone mused, “She came back to the Jennings Family less than half a year and directly won over the Great Demon King, at a birthday party, managing to gather three of the Four Great Families!”

“Ha, if the White Family also came today, that would truly be spectacular.”

Sea City’s Four Great Families: Chalmers, Jennings, White, Gibney.

The four families almost control the entire economic lifeline of the south.

But everyone knows that the Four Families never publicly show up unless it’s a major occasion, and at such a small banquet, bringing together all four families is nearly impossible.

The younger generations can only fantasize about it.

But sometimes, truly, what you wish for is what you get.

During the second half of the banquet, a staff member guided a woman in a white suit to enter.

The woman seemed to be around thirty years old, exuding a competent and professional aura, like a businesswoman attending a meeting rather than a birthday banquet.

The younger generations were the first to see the newcomer, each of them instantly looking as if they had seen a ghost, wide-eyed in shock.

“White… Sister White…”

One person stammered, pointing in the woman’s direction, almost too shocked to speak.

It wasn’t just the younger generations who were stunned; even some of the older guests couldn’t help but show surprise.

The White Family had indeed sent someone!

Oliver White, renowned as a businesswoman among the younger generation within the circle, is currently half the leader of the White Family.

The reason she’s only ‘half’ is that Oliver White controls half of the White Family’s businesses, while the other half remains in the hands of her father, who is prejudiced against women, refusing to relinquish control even though Oliver’s excellence overshadows every other man in the White Family.

White Father refuses to acknowledge his daughter’s excellence.

But most people in the circle have tacitly agreed that Oliver is the next Family Head of the White Family.

Inheriting the White Family remains just a matter of time.

Originally, having three of the Four Great Families gathered tonight was already considered remarkable; who would have thought that Oliver, a workaholic businesswoman, would personally come as well.

It’s worth noting that for Donovan Jennings’s birthday, who is a legitimate heir, she only sent a gift through someone.

Yet today, she came specifically for Scarlett Jennings.

Everyone couldn’t help but glance at Scarlett Jennings.

They wanted to know where this Jennings Family’s eldest daughter got such capability, to have managed to win over the heirs of the other three families in less than half a year since she returned?

Could she have bewitched them?

As today’s protagonist, Scarlett Jennings was actually a bit baffled too.

The main thing was, she didn’t know this person.

To be precise, she had almost no contact with the White Family.

Although Emma White often said that the White Family was her ancestral home, from what Scarlett knew, the White Family and Emma White’s White Family were so distant that they had no connection at all, to the point where the White Family didn’t even know who Emma was.

So Scarlett Jennings was really not familiar with the White Family.

Scarlett did not know Oliver White, yet the latter came directly towards her after entering, without any unnecessary small talk, and said straightforwardly,

“I’ve come today on someone’s behalf to deliver a birthday gift to Miss Jennings.”

She said this, handing over the gift she held, her cold, elegant demeanor inherently carrying a touch of aloofness,

“Happy Birthday.”

Oliver White’s tone was very casual, yet it was enough to make the guests present astounded.

What person had such influence?

To have Oliver White personally deliver a gift?

This was rarer than Oliver White herself representing the White Family to attend the birthday banquet.

Scarlett looked at the gift placed before her but didn’t immediately reach out to accept it, instead, she asked,

“May I ask on whose behalf was this presented?”

Oliver White’s gaze swept over Scarlett’s serious demeanor, adding a trace more interest but kept her mouth vague,

“It’s definitely not on behalf of my family’s old man.”

As she spoke, her eyes met Samuel Chalmers’s deep gaze beside her.

With a sudden jolt in her heart, Oliver secretly cursed herself and decided she couldn’t continue fooling the little girl, her voice slightly restrained, saying,

“It’s on behalf of a friend.”

She paused and added, “His last name is Wen.”

Scarlett’s eyes trembled slightly, almost instinctively asking,

“A woman?”

Oliver gave her a look, “A man.”

Scarlett: …

So, not her master after all.
