Chapter 368
Just as the nan reached the doorway, Lucas leil Wyatt inside from the outside,
The man looked up and saw a familiar face. With this face, who in Seacrity wouldn’t recognize him? He stood frozen. unable to move his feet, as the man watched Wyatt being led by Lucas to Yvette.
Wyatt was impeccably dressed in a suit, his hair neatly combed clearly well–prepared. The others in the living room recognized him and exclaimed, “Mr. Langford?”
Wyatt had already heard that the Chambers family had been having frequent visitors lately and probably understood their intentions. ‘Helping those in need is rare, adding to it is a queue. The most difficult thing in the world is managing relationships.
Seeing someone recognize him, Wyatt politely nodded to everyone, then turned his gaze to Yvette sitting on the sofa, his eyes deep. ‘It’s been a while, and her status has risen another level He was already aware of the news from Betrico–Jase had acknowledged this daughter–in–law, and he heard that Clifford and his wife were particularly satisfied and had stood up for her. Now, Yvette’s position as Major General Mrs. Chavez was solidified, and her recent win in Ybaulla had made her an idol among the Clusian people.
Wyatt ignored everyone’s looks and quietly said to Yvette on the sofa, “Grand–aunt, long time no see.”
Wyatt greeting Yvette first shocked everyone present. ‘He’s the top leader of Seacrity, being this polite to Yvette, even respectful–it’s simply unbelievable!‘
The man at the doorway stiffly turned his body to watch the scene, feeling deeply regretful. If he had known the mayor would be so polite to Yvette, he would never have said those things. Now, even if he regretted it, it was too late. The man could only reluctantly leave the Chambers family.
Only Lucas glanced at the man’s departing figure. ‘What’s the use of regretting now?‘
Yvette looked up, showing no surprise at Wyatt’s appearance. Her expression was indifferent, and her voice was cold. “Sit.”
Everyone else had a collective twitch at the corner of their eyes. Is this one word showing too much disregard for the top leader?‘
Zachary said to Wyatt, “Mr. Langford, you’ve been so busy lately. How do you find time to come personally? If there’s anything you need, just let me know.”
Wyatt sat on the sofa, being extremely courteous to Zachary. After all, Zachary was Jeremiah’s future father–in–law and M Jase Chavez’s in–law. Being friendly at this moment only had benefits without any downsides.
Wyatt gave a hearty laugh, completely dropping the mayor’s formalities. “Mr. Chambers, you’re too kind. I knew grand–a was returning today, so I thought I’d come by to visit. There’s nothing important, just wanted to stop by. Mr. Chambers, don’t mind me being a bother. I came uninvited, sorry to trouble you.”
Zachary knew he was here because of Yvette. Since taking over Seacrity, Zachary had never actively befriended families. This time, regardless of the reason, his visit was seen by outsiders as a sign of goodwill towards the Chambers family, which was certainly a good thing for them. Zachary asked Lucas to serve coffee and acted as if he didn’t notice th other standing guests in the living room. “These people can stand if they want.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
any elite
Wyatt glanced around the living room. “I’m in a hurry today. I didn’t realize Mr. Chambers had so many friends here. Should I come another day?”
Zachary laughed and waved his hand. “Mr. Langford, not at all. It’s just that lately, I don’t know what’s going on, but relat keep coming one after another. People might think I have something good here.”
This wave of sarcasm left everyone in the living room feeling deeply ashamed, their faces flushed. They certainly didn’t
let David leave be tire of them and could only pretend not to iderstand and leave one by one Mr. Chambers, I just remembered I have something to attend to at home, so I’ll leave first
Oh look at the time. I still have family waiting for me at home ll head back now
Zachary naturally didn’t try to stop them. These people won’t dare to step into the Chambers family doors again in the future. He said to Lucas, Send them off, Lucas.”
The once lively living room instantly emptied, leaving only one woman who hadn’t left–Layla, who had previously stepped out dressed to impress to ease the situation. She saw Wyatt’s eyes light up. I knew it. Yvette must know many high–ranking officials. If she’s willing to introduce them to me, I can definitely marry into a real elite family. This was also her purpose for coming.
Layla could only pretend to be in a dilemma, adjusted her hair, and naturally sat down on the sofa, clearly not planning to leave. “Mr. Chambers. I’m really sorry. My driver’s car broke down halfway, and it might take a while to come over. If it’s okay, can I stay a bit longer?”
Zachary had a good impression of this younger generation–she had her own little schemes but nothing excessive, He nodded. “Sure, once the car arrives, you can leave.”
Layla was pleased inside but still had to maintain a calm appearance on her face.
Yvette squeezed her coffee cup, looked at the woman, and smiled playfully with a hint of mischief.
Layla noticed Yvette’s gaze and smiled awkwardly.
Wyatt and Zachary chatted. Both were seasoned players, exchanging words back and forth, enjoying their conversation. Yvette kept her head down, playing with her phone, lounging on the sofa without proper posture, very lazy.
Layla, on the other hand, was like a refined lady, sitting up straight and occasionally making small comments. She didn’t bother anyone, but her eyes kept wandering over Wyatt.
Wyatt wasn’t foolish; he certainly felt Layla’s scrutiny. Inside, he was slightly displeased. ‘At my age, she could see me as a father figure. What is she trying to achieve with these blatant and purposeful looks?‘ Since he was a relative of the Chambers family, Wyatt chose to politely avoid her.
Zachary also noticed this and sighed. ‘Another one trying to take shortcuts, and now she’s setting her sights on Mr. Langford. She’s not picky either.’
Layla thought she was hiding her intentions well, but the three people across from her had already seen through her, choosing not to mention it.
Layla glanced at her outfit, meticulously dressed from head to toe. ‘My posture and behavior are all professionally trained; I’m a true socialite. But this Yvette, she can’t even sit properly in front of Mr. Langford. She’s incredibly rude and unpresentable. Even if she won the competition, it doesn’t change her inherently low status compared to a natural–born socialite like me.
Seeing the malice suddenly appear in Layla’s eyes and then her gaze fall on Yvette, Zachary spoke up, “Layla, Mr. Langford and I have some things to discuss. Since your driver can’t come right now, I’ll have the Chambers family driver take you.”
Layla was taken aback by his words, feeling a bit embarrassed. But since Zachary had already said so, she could only nod. “Alright, thank you.” She then stood up, glanced at Yvette, and her eyes darkened. “Yvette, could you give me a ride?”
