Chapter 179
In the hotel’s bright and grand lobby, Shirley and Jeffrey, perfectly made up and dressed, posed with radiant sendes for dozens of cameras in front of a massive wedding poster,
There was no denying it–both of them were strikingly good–looking even among the social elite.
Shirley was dressed in a white, sexy gown that showcased the graceful lines of her long neck and elegantly shaped honom
Her makeup was flawless and striking, highlighted by her huxurious jewelry and diamonds.
Beside her, Jeffrey complemented her perfectly in a custom–made burgundy suit. Together, they truly looked like a perfect couple
“Over here, Mr. Chambers, Ms. Leach! Could you stand a little closer? Just a bit more Great! Next shot, the photographer called out continuously.
Both Jeffrey and Shirley were in high spirits today, eager to appear approachable and friendly, so they went along with i

Their parents–Henry and Jemma, Jacob and Mandy–were also present, dressed to the nines, each trying to outshine
other.
They were adorned with precious jewels, their hair perfectly styled, determined not to be outshone by their in–laws, exuding an air of prominence.
The group stood at the entrance, greeting the arriving guests.
“Mr. Leach, welcome! Please, come in!” Henry quickly stepped up to welcome Oliver.
“Dad” “Oliver.” Jacob and Mandy also went forward, greeting him
Following Oliver, Andy and the members of the Leach family’s third branch exchanged congratulations,
“Has Cherise not arrived yet?” Oliver, seated in a wheelchair, asked Jacob.
Jacob felt a bit embarrassed by the question in front of so many people, as the engagement had originally been for Cherise.
Shirley stepped forward upon hearing this, squatted down, and said with a seemingly dutiful expression, “Grandpa, I gave
sister her invitation. She said she’d come.”

Oliver nodded. “Alright, let’s go inside and wait for Cherise then
Then, he turned to Henry. “Mr. Chambers, I’d like to use the engagement ceremony’s stage today to present some gifts to my grandchildren. Is that okay with you?”
Hearing this, Henry immediately thought of the substantial shares Oliver held in the Leach Group. While the Leach family wasn’t as prominent as before, its foundation still outmatched many rising families.
He quickly broke into a wide smile and said, “Mr. Leach, we’re family–there’s no need to be so formal. Of course, feel free,”
Jacob and Mandy knew a bit about what was going on; they had heard from the servants that Darren had recently visited Oliver’s study.
They thought that Oliver, growing older, might just be using the occasion to present a special gift in front of everyone, likely for today’s couple, Shirley and Jeffrey.
With this thought, they felt a sense of exciteme

“Andy, Sean, since we re family, why don’t you go ahead and take Dad to his seat?” Jacob suggested kindly to his family

Once Oliver and the others stepped into the banquet hall, a group of men in black suits, looking intimidating, entered the hotel lobby, immediately catching everyone’s attention.
The leading man walked directly toward Shirley and her group.
When Mandy saw who it was, she was delighted and said, “Felix, you’re here! I’ve been waiting for you for so long.”
Felix’s influence had grown significantly in recent years, and he built connections with many powerful figures, both in legitimate and underground circles.
Seeing the intimidating entourage he brought along, both familles couldn’t help but pay him the utmost respect.
Felix’s influence was why the Chambers and Leach families had readily agreed to Shirley and Jeffrey’s engagement back
then..
Just yesterday, they heard from Jeffrey that Felix’s engagement gift to Shirley alone was a deposit of 700 million dollars.
Now, both families were enthusiastically greeting Felix.
“Mr. Lewis, we’ve been so looking forward to your arrival! It’s an honor for you to attend our son and Shirley’s engagement!” Henry beamed, full of compliments.
Felix was all smiles today as well. “We’re family now, so there’s no need to stand on ceremony. Mandy is my only sister, and she only has one daughter, so of course, I had to come.”
The Chambers family was thrilled to hear this. Having Felix supporting them meant they wouldn’t have to worry as much in future business endeavors.
After some small talk, Henry and Jacob personally escorted Felix into the banquet hall before returning to greet other
guests.
