Chapter 307: Chapter 156: Execution Platform (Thanks to the leader ’Silent is better than a sheng’ for the reward)

At the business gathering that evening, Wayne followed Austin the entire time, reviewing every business contract, including the speeches, himself.

Previously, this was Megan’s job, but tonight it was all handed over to Wayne.

Big leaders don’t do unnecessary things, each deliberately repeated action must have a deeper meaning, and the elites, dames, and nobles present were not fools. The answer was written on their foreheads, it was obvious to everyone.

Austin sent a signal; the Lando Family’s illegitimate son would return to the family as an heir. Today, he was taken out for a walk, giving everyone an early mental preparation.

Old Login was very busy; from the legitimate to the underworld, from politicians to businessmen, nearly everyone had connections with him—having many friends means having many obligations.

In Wayne’s words, Austin staked his claim everywhere, paved his way with money, stood amongst the wealthiest, and forcefully positioned himself as Londan’s chief, always managing to gain face wherever he went.

He thought he would leave early, but Austin had so many friends that even a small business gathering attracted over a hundred people queuing just to be seen by Austin.

The business gathering ended at eight o’clock, but Wayne didn’t get to relax until ten, still following behind Austin.

Good news: no second event, no formal gathering.

Bad news: he hadn’t eaten!

Forget about the buffet—Austin, with a glass of champagne in hand, said he was tired and took a sip; Wayne didn’t like to drink and reluctantly filled himself with several glasses of orange juice just to quench his thirst.

Seeing the two finally got a moment’s rest, Hefei approached them with a smile.

Austin also smiled and reached out his hand to his wife.

"You must be exhausted, aren’t you?"

Hefei circled around Austin, stood in front of Wayne, and straightened his black suit collar with a smile growing in her eyes, looking more and more pleased.

Austin glanced down and withdrew his hand without a word.

Approximately a third of the guests still hadn’t left, seeing such a good relationship between the illegitimate son and Madam Lando, they couldn’t help but cast admiring glances at Austin.

Indeed, the re-elected mayor of the Financial City was formidable in his maneuvers, even his wife treated the illegitimate child as her own.

If it were them bringing an illegitimate son home in such a public manner, the results were predictable.

They couldn’t replicate his success—they deserved to be less wealthy.

Under the admiring gazes of the guests, Austin stood tall and chest out, completely unperturbed.

Though he did not know what these people were thinking, he did indeed have the final word at home, his authority was unchallenged.

At eleven in the evening, the banquet officially ended.

Hefei, arm in arm with Wayne, left the venue with a smile that never left her face.

Austin, with a dark face, walked ahead. Still, he indeed disliked riffraff and thought Wayne would better suit a cement barrel.

Parking lot.

Philark stood beside a black car, and upon seeing them, placed a hand on his chest, bowing slightly.

"Master Wayne."

"Mister Lando, Madam Lando."

"It’s Philark the Butler from the Wayne’s, long time no see!" Austin’s face grew even more unpleasant, and he snorted heavily to show his disdain for the traitor.

"Ha! What are you snorting about, wandering around so late at night."

Triggering a keyword, Hefei immediately responded with an itch in her fists, wanting a face to relax on.

She let go of Wayne’s arm, pulling Austin toward another car, and called out for Wayne to come over for a meal at their house in a couple of days.

A family dinner!

Unlike the last time, there were no students at this family dinner.

Megan bid Wayne goodbye with a slight bow, and when she made eye contact with Philark, the two butlers exchanged a subtle, approving smile.

"Sorry for making you wait, Philark; there was a bit of a mishap,"

After Wayne got into the back of the black car, he said, "If you don’t mind, could you ask the maid to prepare a little something to eat? I’ve only had a few glasses of orange juice tonight and I’m a bit hungry."

"Master, the supper is already prepared, all your favorite dishes."

"As professional as ever..."

Wayne sighed with appreciation. Philark had perfectly managed every aspect of his life, inside and out. He truly didn’t know how he’d manage without such an exceptional butler.

October 15th.

Today is Verily’s birthday.

As the cherished pet of the Strength and Faith Fitness Center, the muscle buffs had prepared the birthday venue early; the gym would not open to the public today, serving only her.

Although Verily had lost her parents at a young age, she never lacked for elder affection, especially fatherly love, which was impressively mountainous.

As the day’s big boss, she enjoyed the highest status in the gym, wielding the rights of a king, having her word as law, and everyone obeying her commands.

This was no longer just indulgence; it could drown someone with love.

Wayne arrived at the gym around noon. The birthday party began at teatime, and he brought a gift—or rather two gifts.

Wayne provided a complete set of Sunstones; Valkyrie used thought to shape the gemstone into a Knight’s Sword.

Veronica and Clare arrived at ten in the morning and had meticulously dressed up Verily—youth was her capital, no need for heavy makeup, a simple light touch made her extraordinarily radiant.

Verily, in her princess dress, made a grand appearance at the event. The style was elegant, her floating dress swaying softly, golden ponytails coiled up, her smile brilliant and full of happiness, exuding warmth and making one eager to protect that smile.

Unfortunately, the owner of that smile was a goofball, nothing like an elegant princess at her core.

She couldn’t maintain her poise for more than three seconds before her true nature revealed itself.

The princess’s two attendant maidservants were played by Veronica and Clare, much to My Princess’s satisfaction, who stamped approval on each of them.
