Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Being a Good Best Friend (1)

The banquet was divided into three parts. The first part was donations made on behalf of companies. Every industry in G City had leading enterprises, and the Hawkins Family was the representative of the hotel industry. Bryan Hawkins allowed Xavier Estrada to go on stage and make a donation.

The second part was the individual donation segment. Bryan Hawkins held Carolline Ruiz’s hand and lined up. Xavier Estrada raised two cards, both with huge sums.

In the first two parts, both the Hawkins Family and Bryan Hawkins lived up to their tycoon title. Whether it was donations on behalf of companies or individuals, he was far ahead. Moreover, there were also the donations made by Carolline Ruiz, which came from Bryan Hawkins’ own pocket.

This part of Carolline Ruiz’s donation was actually what Bryan had promised to Phoebe Miller, dedicated funds for those three children. The Miller Family would allocate the funds themselves, so Bryan didn’t need to worry about it.

Because of Bryan Hawkins’ influence, Carolline Ruiz had gained great fame at tonight’s banquet. As the tycoon’s wife, her generosity was undoubtedly impressive and grand.

However, Carolline Ruiz was shy and kept her head low. In truth, she was just an ordinary nurse, and the donated funds wouldn’t have been possible if she hadn’t married a wealthy man like Bryan Hawkins. She couldn’t have saved that much money in her entire lifetime.

Bryan Hawkins remained calm, all these arrangements were made purposefully by him. Although Carolline’s fame wasn’t enough, her father, Henry Ruiz’s reputation in G City, was sufficient. Combined with her grandfather’s fame in the calligraphy field, Carolline was considered a noble in these people’s eyes. Bryan did all this only to prevent reporters from comparing her and Phoebe Miller if her identity were ever to be revealed.

In his heart, both women had their merits. Carolline was his wife, and Phoebe Miller was his confidante if she were willing to be. As a husband, he didn’t want his wife to be wronged. He couldn’t let Carolline suffer at any time, because he loved her.

Therefore, he did all these things in advance as a cushion for the future. He was aware of Carolline’s inferiority complex when facing Phoebe Miller. This girl would never tell him her inner thoughts, but after five years apart, he had learned how to carefully observe her and discern her insignificance little by little.

He didn’t talk to her directly, so she wouldn’t feel so inferior when facing Phoebe Miller. But sometimes, verbal reassurance felt too pale and unconvincing. It was better to show his love through actions.

This time, Phoebe Miller’s charity banquet in G City was an opportunity for him and Carolline. He wanted Russell Ward to dress her up. Russell’s minimalist style surpassed that of other stylists. On their wedding day, he would let Russell create a grand style for Carolline and dazzle the world. The woman chosen by Bryan Hawkins could never be lacking.

Even if others might see her as inferior, in his eyes, she was the best in the world, even better than Phoebe Miller.

These were Bryan Hawkins’ thoughts, his most genuine thoughts at the moment and in the future.

The third part of the banquet was the late-night snacks prepared by the Miller family. Of course, they were exquisite dishes made by the Hawkins Family’s chefs. Everyone gathered in the Grand Hall, meeting and making friends.

The Miller family’s charity event was so favored by upper-class society not only because it allowed them to express their kindness, but it also provided opportunities for collaboration and mutual benefit. As a result, everyone enjoyed this type of event.

William Hawkins and Madelyn Lincoln didn’t participate in the third part of the banquet. Since Madelyn was pregnant, William took her home to rest early.
