After Betrayal: Lightning Marriage to Mr. Enigmatic-Chapter 766: His Concerns

Two bodyguards provide close protection, and beside each bodyguard sits a secretary.

Secretary Landon never dreamed she could sit at the same table with Old Master Hunter one day. Her heart was about to leap out from excitement, yet she dared not speak casually, striving to maintain calm and composure to avoid embarrassing her own president.

After Deputy President Ross of Star Region Group entertained a large number of people, he naturally sat at Old Master’s table, smiling as he greeted Ben Hunter and Isabella Weaver.

Being able to sit at this table and chat freely with Old Master deeply envied many people.

Even if Cherry Lewis shamelessly wanted to sit at this table now, she couldn’t, because Nick Ross also brought an assistant, occupying the last empty seat.

She sat at the adjacent table, her teeth nearly grinding to pieces, yet still had to maintain a smile, as if nothing had happened, preventing others from looking down on her.

The auction quickly commenced, and seated below were affluent individuals, both buyers and sellers. This was a charity auction, focused solely on benevolence, with many competing to bid.

After the auction concluded, the host immediately announced that the funds raised totaled a remarkable 230 million, expressing a multitude of thanks on behalf of the children in impoverished areas.

Once the auction was over, there was a banquet arranged by the organizers, albeit simple and modest. In essence, it provided a platform for everyone to network, ensuring that companies didn’t spend in vain, and hopefully sealing a few business deals.

Ben Hunter was still a coveted presence, with countless toasts offered his way. Despite his age, he couldn’t indulge in much alcohol; hence, Nick Ross mostly handled the drinking on his behalf.

Many people also offered toasts to Isabella Weaver. Before she could decline, Nick Ross stepped in to handle them all with great poise, without letting Secretary Landon drink, exhibiting gentlemanly flair.

Isabella Weaver was somewhat surprised. Once the guests had departed, Nick Ross smiled and said, "President Weaver, no need to be puzzled. Before leaving for business, our President Hunter instructed me to take good care of you if we met today."

Isabella Weaver felt relieved and warmed, knowing someone constantly cares for her, even arranging for someone to shield her from alcohol—truly a blissful thing.

She thanked Nick Ross, "Thank you, Deputy President Ross, but you’ve drunk too much. I’ll handle the rest myself."

Ben Hunter laughed and patted her hand, "It’s alright. From what I see today, the alcohol is rather ordinary, with a low alcohol content. Little Ross has drunk them all under the table and won’t bother himself, you don’t need to drink, let him handle it."

At any moment, Isabella Weaver might become pregnant, and Ben Hunter didn’t want her to touch alcohol. Even absent the prospect of having children, he still saw her as a young girl—he could introduce her to numerous people, but drinking alcohol would be exempt. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Star Region Group’s deputy presidents all have remarkable drinking capacities, with Nick Ross being the standout, which is why Harry Hunter dispatched him today. He laughed heartily, "Old Master, if you praise me like this, I’ll surely boast!"

He drank more enthusiastically with others, while his assistant had no idea how many business cards he handed out. His pockets bulged with a heap of others’ business cards, silently noting how many people had cooperation intentions and who might be worth contacting further.

Isabella Weaver felt even Star Region Group’s assistants are quite formidable. She turned to look at her own Secretary Nina Landon to see Nina Landon engaging more attentively and earnestly in conversations with those showing cooperation interest, seemingly afraid of being outdone.

Isabella Weaver chuckled, realizing that participating in such auctions also motivates secretaries.
