"Mr. Wu is on the phone." Xavier Estrada handed his cellphone over to Bryan Hawkins.

"Hello, Mr. Wu," Bryan Hawkins took the phone, his tone formal.

"Mr. Hawkins, I’ve been waiting for your return. The last project you gave me was so successful that I’ve been wanting to treat you to a meal. However, you’ve been very busy. Now that you’re back, could you give me a chance? Let me host dinner tonight at your Emperory Grand Hotel. What do you think?"

Jeremy Auclair’s booming voice came through the phone speaker. He had been keeping an eye on Bryan Hawkins since their last collaboration, which had earned Jeremy a substantial profit. Having tasted the sweet fruits of cooperation, he had no plans to let go of this valuable connection.

He had to maintain a good relationship with this money tree to continue benefiting from it in the future.

So, last time he willingly helped Bryan deal with George Morris and his son, Bryan indeed delivered the promised benefits. Jeremy was now addicted to these gains and couldn’t give them up.

"Mr. Wu, you’re too polite. Currently, there are no projects on my hands that are suitable for collaboration with your Auclair Family. Why would you bother with the expense?" Bryan Hawkins always spoke his mind, except when it came to Carolline Ruiz.

At one point, he thought Carolline was always fearful in front of him. All things must come full circle; now it was his turn to feel frightened and hesitant when looking for her, especially not wanting to see her current state.

"Mr. Hawkins, can’t I just make friends with you? Am I inviting you to dinner just so you can give me a project? Don’t think too much about it; it’s a simple dinner with a few friends from our circle. Please, do me the honor?" Jeremy Auclair feigned discontent.

"Alright, I’ll leave the arrangements to you, Mr. Wu." Bryan Hawkins didn’t insist on refusing, essentially accepting the invitation.

At seven o’clock that evening, Bryan Hawkins and Xavier Estrada arrived at the Emperory Grand Hotel. It was the first high-end hotel he had established after taking control of the Hawkins Family. It had been quite successful initially, setting a high standard for many other businesses to imitate, but none of them managed to do as well as him.

Emperory Grand Hotel continued to stand gloriously in the cityscape of G City, a place only those with deep pockets could afford. Compared to his current hotels, it was relatively economical.

When they entered, Jeremy Auclair and some friends he had invited, who had also had dealings with Bryan Hawkins, were already there.

Before entering, Bryan Hawkins had already instructed his staff that he would be paying for this meal. He had yet to thank Jeremy Auclair properly for his help in dealing with the Morris family.

As soon as they entered, they were immediately caught up in the atmosphere of drinking. In the first round, Bryan Hawkins didn’t refuse any toasts, eating some food, and taking turns drinking with everyone.

After a few rounds, Bryan’s stomach was full of alcohol and soup from the dishes. He excused himself to go to the restroom, temporarily halting the onslaught of more drinks.

These people drank like water, and Bryan Hawkins was no exception, not killing their mood.

——Dividing Line——

To express her gratitude for Andy Aguirre’s help, Carolline Ruiz invited him to dinner. However, their dinner somehow turned into a family gathering of both families under Emily Hill’s arrangement.

Emily Hill spared no expense, booking a private room at the Emperory Grand Hotel. When Andy Aguirre’s family arrived, his mother, in particular, scolded Emily, saying how she was living more and more extravagantly.

Emily laughed it off, saying, "To treat you, not just the Emperory, but even more expensive hotels are fair game."
