Chapter 395: He Won't Come Here
Chapter 395: He Won't Come Here
Lily shakes her head, "We're not sure whether Macit is on the side of Jonathan. If not, Jonathan will
pester you once he knows that. Watch over Jonathan, and I'll take care of Macit."
"I don't want you to be so tired." John feels sorry for her.
"I'm fine. I don't want to mess up at this critical moment." Lily smiles at him, who has been lost in her
charm.
With such a smart beauty by his side, what else will he want?
At eight o'clock, the car arrives at the Atlantis Hotel.
Atlantis is one of the few eight-star hotels in the world. It is luxurious. Famous cocktail lounges,
auctions, and even royal birthday parties are held here.
Lily once stayed in a seven-star hotel for business, and this is her first time to go to an eight-star hotel.
When getting off the car, she is completely shocked by this luxurious hotel.
Following John to take the elevator upstairs, Lily approaches him and whispers, "I heard that this Party
would be very high-class. Ninety percent of big shots and celebrities are here. Is that true?"
John nods in approval and explains, "At the beginning, it was an entertainment party planned by the
royal family. Unexpectedly, some foreign businessmen wanted to achieve instant fame for their own
business. Politicians also wanted to expand their connections. Only sitting there, the royal family can
make money and bring in foreign investment, therefore, this party is held once a year. More and more
people come, and this party expands year by year."
"How business-minded the royal family is! If I spend one million to participate in the party, even if I don't
make a deal here, I will still benefit from the business cards I get here," Lily says.
"When I have time, I'll call them. All businessmen are interested in high-profit businesses, right? Even
no business deal is made, I can expand my connections with their help."
"You're right." John smiles and nods, "I would like to leave my business to you for your business
talents."
Lily shakes her hands to refuse, while muttering, "You're kidding! It is a small talk, moreover, theories
and practical application are far away from each other. Don't think too highly of me."
"It's not that I think highly of you, but the fact is that you are smart and learn things quickly," John says
honestly, "If the administration of a few companies can help you grow, even if they are in debt at last, I
think it's worthwhile."
"Here we are." As soon as the elevator door opens, Lily takes the lead and walks out, "Let's talk about
this later."
Noticing her rough diversion, John loses some sparkles in his eyes.
From that night on, it takes him one full month to accept his own lot, but he still can't admit that he and
Louis are half-brothers, who have the same mother.
He will not admit his relationship with Louis, nor will he let Lily leave one day.
She treats him well, but he is clear that he is still not an equal to Louis.
She once took over the Smith Group to help Louis, but now refuses everything he gives her.
Sensing that John lags behind, Lily turns to look at him and asks, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." John conceals his emotions very well. He looks at her warmly and gently as he strides out of
the elevator and towards Lily.
After the verification of their identities, both of them enter the banquet hall.
The banquet hall is so luxurious and gigantic that it is almost impossible to see its ends. Elegant jazz Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
music flows out from the central broadcaster, and the dignitaries in the banquet hall are dressed in
luxurious clothes, as if they were attending a grand banquet at the palace.
Lily walks by John calmly, but her eyes can't help wandering around.
There are politicians who occasionally appear on the news, as well as businessmen with hundreds of
billions of dollars in wealth, a group of two or three holding wine glasses, standing, chatting and
laughing.
Suddenly, a slender figure barges into her sight.
The man is dressed in a tailored black tuxedo. With the well-groomed black hair, his sharp facial
features are prominent, and his scarlet lips curl into a faint smile.
He holds a glass of wine between his fingers and is talking to a person opposite him.
He is tall and slender. Such an outstanding figure makes friends in front of him and people around him
fade.
Lily's eyes are wide-open, her breath is short, and her heart almost stops beating.
"Excuse me, excuse me." She struggles through the crowd, staring at the man.
Before she manages to take a few steps, the man in the distance says something to his friend, then
both of them disappears into the crowd quickly, as if what she has just seen is just her illusion.
Lily is so anxious to go over, but her wrist is tightly clenched.
"Lily, what's wrong?" It is John who rushes over and asks her with concern.
"I saw Louis... Louis." Lily still searches through the crowd with her eyes, but never sees the man
again.
Seeing that she is so anxious to find Louis, John feels pains in his heart.
John comforts her softly, "Lily, he won't come here, don't you remember? It must be a mistake."
His words are like the cold water which extinguishes her impatient fire.
She forces a smile and says, "You're right, it must be a mistake. He won't come here."
His two shots in the hotel and his cold gaze two months ago showed that he was extremely
disappointed in her. How could he be here?
John gently holds her hand and says, "Let's go and meet my father."
Lily nods.
Bonaire is chatting with a few friends. When John brings Lily over, he immediately introduces his
friends to John.
He also points at Lily and proudly says, "This is Colbert's girlfriend, Lily!"
"I know, Harold told me."
"You're a lucky guy. Your son is outstanding, and your daughter-in-law is powerful. I'm almost jealous!"
Bonaire laughs heartedly, "They are still too young, and I wish you could take care of them in the
future."
"..."
In these short pleasantries, Bonaire has managed to build quite a few connections for John.
Lily smiles all the way and stands there with a glass of wine in her hand.
When seeing Macit, Lily pulls the hem of John's clothes and whispers, "I'll go find Macit. Keep an eye
on Jonathan."
John nods, "Then be careful."
He glances at her and says, "Keep your shawl well wrapped. Don't take it off."
"OK!"
After the short reply to John, Lily walks through the crowd hurriedly to catch up with Macit, but only
seeing that Macit enters the high-class private room at one side of the banquet hall.
Glancing at the nameplate with the words "Recreation Room" in the middle of the door, Lily takes a
deep breath, reaches out and pushes the door open.
It is very warm and bustling in the recreation room. There are people sitting in front of billiards, chess
and card tables. And a huge mirror is embedded in the wall, reflecting all activities in the entire
recreation room.
There are also a few women in the room, who are slender and beautiful, but the moment Lily enters,
her sharp beauty with black hair and fair skin makes these women fade instantly.
Lily walks towards Macit, ignoring those gazes.
"Mr. Macit, may I talk to you for a sec, please?" She lowers her voice.
"Busy!" Macit bites his cigarette and is busy playing billiards, even without looking at Lily, "Wait until I'm
done."
"Alright." Lily smiles, stands aside and waits quietly.
