Chapter 465: Chapter 208: Spring Has Come, and the Season of Rebirth is Upon Us_3

It’s called investing in startups, but really it’s about experiencing life, sporting the label of a successful person, proving to the world that you’re not just some useless shut-in.

Austin and Edward chatted briefly, without much enthusiasm. Edward got his message and turned to engage Wayne instead.

Austin only brought Wayne to public appearances. Since the Lando Family had this one heir, and given their similar age, Edward believed they would have topics in common.

So, they started to talk about finance.

"..."x2

It was a meeting of minds, the perfect match of wit and intelligence. They ran out of things to talk about in just a couple of exchanges.

Austin stood by with a poker face, barely holding back a laugh. He politely raised his glass to hide the smirk pulling at his lips and took Megan to another corner.

Wayne and Edward just stared at each other before picking back up the conversation.

"..."x2

This guy’s a total loser; he knows nothing about finance!x2

Can’t say he knows nothing, just not much. Not much ink in the well, mostly just tricks and cheats.

Edward’s financial maneuvers were rooted in his status, with insider information, he could make money anywhere; Wayne’s moves were based on a God’s-eye view, knowing what would be hot and what was sure to make big bucks.

They both had skipped the hardest early stages of entrepreneurship, standing on the shoulders of giants, and it was hard for them to lose.

(;乛‸乛)(一´一;)

Realizing they were cut from the same cloth, they instantly found common ground. Due to their status, they couldn’t openly acknowledge it, so they exchanged glances and left the banquet hall.

Once they were alone, Edward was the first to probe, "Wayne, what do you think about Miss Gosse, the second daughter of the Gosse Family?"

"Who’s that?"

"The one with the best figure."

"Oh, quite fierce indeed."

The probing was over; it was clear they were birds of a feather.

Edward raised his glass to Wayne’s orange juice, saying with delight, "Who would have thought the heir of the Lando Family is a straw bag? Austin did a great job of hiding your identity as his illegitimate child for so long."

"I didn’t see it either. The Prince looks elegant, but that’s all there is to it."

"You misunderstand, as a Prince, I’m still young, I can’t show too much competence. It’s a kind of disguise; you know how it is with the Royal Family."

"Same here, actually I have a good business sense. The bestselling stockings on the market were designed by me."

"What, it was you?"

Edward was astounded and after confirming it repeatedly, he patted Wayne’s shoulder hard, "You really understand men, nailing it completely."

The more they talked, the better they got along. Starting with stockings, they covered a host of unsavory topics, none of them serious.

The Prince was indeed clever. He’d focused all his intelligence on devious pursuits, which is why he appeared to be a fool.

"I heard you recently set up an investigative team to look into the Snow Family in Northern Ireland..."

With enviable admiration, Edward said, "That’s beyond me. Her Majesty prefers Elizabeth, having her lead the investigative team for the Patino Family. I can only watch."

Wayne didn’t respond, humming noncommittally as if he hadn’t heard.

At this moment, Mayor Angelo joined them, inviting Edward to enter.

Accompanying Angelo was a black-haired beauty, tall and attractive, with cool and captivating makeup and a seductive presence that quickened the heartbeat.

Edward’s interest piqued, he asked for the beauty’s name. Learning she was a distant relative of Angelo’s, named Sander, he immediately became attentive.

Sander had a chilly demeanor and wasn’t keen on the Prince’s attentions, but reluctantly interacted out of respect for her elder, Angelo.

What a bootlicker!

Wayne, holding his orange juice, silently left. If he remembered correctly, Prince Edward was betrothed.

Pah, what a jerk!

Already engaged, yet still hooking up on the side, unlike him, still single and unattached.

Anxious Angelo made eye codes desperately to Sander who, with no other option, returned Edward’s courtesy with a smile.

Instantly, it was as if an ice mountain had melted, spring had come, and the time of mating...

No, that’s not right, spring had come, and it was the season of revival for all things.

Edward was slightly agitated, noting Angelo’s signals, and was very pleased with the arrangements. He enthusiastically invited Sander to explore the maze behind the mansion.

Sander pulled her hand free, claiming she could not hold her liquor and promising not to disappoint the Prince next time.

With that, she swayed away.

"Gulp!"x2

Why were there two sounds?

Confused, Edward looked back and, not seeing Wayne, it must have been Angelo.

He cast a withering glance, and said gentlemanly, "Angelo, where is Miss Sander from?"

"Cheshire, she’s studying at Jianhe County University. I worried about her going it alone in the world, so I brought her to Landon for care," Angelo said with a sigh, "She’s been strong-willed since she was young, studying painting and sculpture. Currently, she works in an art gallery and is very talented; she just needs an opportunity."

"Which gallery?"

"Here’s the business card."

Angelo considerately passed over the art gallery’s card, including Sander’s apartment address and phone number.

"Prince Edward, Sander never had a mother and lost her father early, so she poured all her passion into the arts, hence she’s quite aloof to people. I hope you won’t take offense."

"Just call me Edward. Don’t worry, if she truly has talent, I’ll give her an opportunity."
