Chapter 450: Chapter 450
Just by looking at this scene, one could confirm that Avery’s identity in the V Group was not simple.
The greeter’s attitude became even more respectful. "Welcome. Miss Carter. This way, please....
At this time, Alexander also strode forward and held her hand. He didn’t seem too surprised as he said, "Avery, you’re here Let’s go over together."
Avery had never told him that she was the big boss behind Vision Group, but he had considered the possibility. So, instead of shock, his heart swelled with pride.
Avery smiled. "Alright."
She turned to look at her family. "Mom, Dad, all, let’s go."
With her status and identity, she was definitely qualified to bring a few people to this ceremony.
The Carter family had been staring at her in stunned silence since earlier, seemingly forgetting to speak.
Hearing Avery call out to them, they snapped back to reality. After exchanging glances, they all shared a look, seeming to realize that she was indeed their family, before smiling and following her lead.
Meanwhile, upon confirming that Avery was indeed the big boss of V Group, Neil was shocked, his expression a mix of surprise and contemplation.
At the same time, the attending elites and guests broke into murmurs, their faces and words brimming with shock and admiration.
Only the heirs and representatives of the four prominent families of Rosemont City like the Murphy, Harper, Murray, and Randolph families, standing in the corner, couldn’t hide their overwhelming anger, jealousy, and resentment, after the initial shock.
Avery walked across the red carpet with a smile, allowing the passersby on both sides to take photos
When they were about 30 feet away from the office building ceremony site, Neil suddenly waved his hand and said to the senior members and core elites of the Moran family beside him. "This is the first public appearance of the big boss of V Group. It is our honor. Let’s go and greet her."
The elders and core elites of the Moran family were stunned.
They wondered if Neil was serious or just joking.
He even looked down on Avery before, but now he quickly changed his attitude.
He was even personally going to welcome her.
All these years, even when other influential figures arrived, they had never seen Neil personally go to greet them.
Though they were frustrated, they obediently followed behind Neil
From over 70 feet away, Neil greeted warmly and politely, "Welcome, Mrs. Carter..."
Although Avery had not been on good terms with the Moran family, seeing Neil, at his age, walking over with a cane to personally greet her, she quickly stepped forward. She shook his hand respectfully and said, "Hello, Mr. Moran. I wish you great prosperity and success in your business."
"Thank you for your kind words, Mrs. Carter," Neil said, shaking her hand with a genuine smile that didn’t seem forced at all "We’re family by marriage, and our businesses have many connections. I look forward to collaborating more in the future and growing our wealth together!"
He then turned to Alexander, adding, "As for you, Alexander, tonight, you’re in charge of hosting Mrs. Carter and her family. Make sure they’re well taken care of."
Avery, Alexander, the Carter family, and the Moran family all stood in silence, stunned.
They were wondering if Neil was speaking from the heart, truly accepting Avery and the Carter family.
They found it hard to believe. This sudden reversal was too fast to believe.
However, Neil did not seem to be forcing himself at all.
While everyone was left speechless, Neil had already released Avery’s hand and smiled, "Mr. Carter, please, this way..."
His assistant quickly had additional chairs brought in and arranged for the Carter family and senior members of Vision Group to sit in the second row. Avery and Alexander were temporarily seated on Neil’s right side, sharing the front row with Ethan and the others. Next, the celebration began.
Fireworks went off at the scene, followed by speeches from the host, the leaders of Rosemont City, and then from Neil.
Next came the performances, with several talented and popular singers, celebrities, and artists taking the stage, one after another, delivering outstanding performances that continuously stirred up the excitement in the crowd.
Throughout the event, Neil kept conversing with Avery Carter, and the two seemed to be enjoying a lively and engaging conversation
Neil even poured coffee for Avery and offered her a fruit platter, surprising all the guests present.
Lucas, seated in a corner, watched Avery with a burning gaze. The emotions of love, hatred, and jealousy that simmered within him seemed to consume him, almost threatening to tear him apart.
Would no longer see anyone che in his eyes. His heart was filled with thoughts of Avery.
He kept roaring in his heart. "Avery is the big boss of V Group and the only major shareholder? How could she keep something so significant from me?"
If she had told him something so significant, he would never have broken up with her. Not only would he have stayed by her side, but he would have also devoted himself entirely to her, loving her passionately. He would have married her without delay, treating her like a goddess to be cherished. He didn’t believe things had ended up like this.
After getting engaged to Avery, he was the CEO and executive director of the Harper Group, a position that brought him prestige and envy from everyone.
Now, not only was he banned from stepping foot on V Group’s premises, but he was also prohibited from entering Moran Group’s territory. Stripped of his CEO title by the Harper Group and removed from the board, he could only serve the director of external public relations who was extremely idle and had no real power.
Equally miserable was the fact that his reputation had been ruined by Avery. The socialites and heiresses of Rosemont City no longer considered him worthy, shattering any hopes he had of elevating his status through marriage alliances. Now, Avery stood at the pinnacle of success, not only as the owner of a massive company but also about to marry Alexander. Compared to her, his life was truly miserable.
He was filled with hatred.
He hated Avery to the core.
You piece of trash!" Just as he was tasting the shock and regret Avery Carter brought him, he heard his father scolding him beside him. His voice was filled with disappointment.
"It took you three years to win Avery’s heart, but you broke up with her just because she wasn’t a biological daughter of the Murphy family. It made the Harper family miss out on an easy chance to connect with V Group."
He added, "That’s V Group! Do you know what owning V Group means? It means...
These words were like salt being sprinkled on Lucas’s bleeding wound.
"Enough!" He couldn’t stand the ridicule and torment any longer. He stood up, shouting angrily. "Stop nagging in my ear! Didn’t you want me to break up with her back then? Weren’t you the one who looked down on her, chasing after wealth and status? Now you’re blaming me..."
His voice grew frantic as his emotions boiled over, but the stage was alive with stars singing and dancing the loud music and cheering crowd drowning out his breakdown in the corner.
