Malco City's economy is now controlled by three major families: the Mamet family, the Flack family, and the Moore family.
Long ago, the Sawyer Clan was also among the three major families and had a good private relationship with these three families. However, after her parents died in an accident, the Sawyer Group was acquired, their relationship gradually faded, and the Sawyer Clan gradually declined.
Not only do these three families have many business projects, but the younger generation is also outstanding and is known as the Three Most Eligible Bachelors of Malco City.
Aria Grant gave her order, and people on the other side quickly arranged things. The next day, she received news that her branch company had settled down in Malco City and an invitation was delivered to her doorstep.
The person who delivered the invitation was a young man dressed in a suit, with a handsome appearance and a gentle smile on his face, which made people involuntarily want to approach him.
The young man saw Aria Grant and greeted her very respectfully: "Mrs. Grant."
"Dean Taylor." Aria looked at him and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her forehead: "Why are you here?"
"Boss said that I should follow you and handle your affairs during this time." Dean Taylor smiled.
Aria Grant: "..."
She looked at Dean Taylor with a weird expression: "You're not working on your company anymore?"
Dean Taylor was one of her friends she met abroad, and his family is in the diamond mine business and extremely wealthy.
Not long ago, he had a quarrel with his family and started his own company, vowing to make achievements that would blind his parents.
Did he decide to stop already?
"Mrs. Grant, rest assured." Dean Taylor handed her the invitation with an undiminished smile: "Boss will help me."
"Besides, what's more important than you and your company?"
Aria Grant raised her hand to scratch her head, feeling slightly irritated as she took the invitation from him.
She didn't expect Elvin Beckham to send Dean Taylor. He must have guessed what she was planning, so he sent Dean Taylor to watch her.
Now she couldn't act as freely as she wanted.
"I know." Aria casually pointed: "There are guest rooms upstairs, you can negotiate with Butler Jones to stay."
"Yes." Dean Taylor nodded slightly, got up, and went to find Butler Jones.
Aria Grant looked down at the black invitation in her hand, her eyes deepened a bit, she pursed her lips, put the invitation in her pocket, and went upstairs.
Upstairs, Ivy Grant was playing a game, a puzzle game that hadn't been released yet.
Her fair little face was tense and looked very serious.
Aria Grant stood behind her for a while, then came forward to rub her head and said, "Ivy darling, Mom has found a good school for you. You will start classes the day after tomorrow. Is that okay?"
"Going to elementary school?" Ivy didn't look back, her eyes still fixed on the screen: "I'll go to elementary school, but no kindergarten."
Ivy matured early and didn't get along well with kindergarten children.
And...
Aria's eyes trembled slightly, and she said, "Of course, it's elementary school."
"Ivy darling, you must promise Mom that, even if you already understand, you won't be impatient when your classmates ask you questions. Okay?"
"Don't worry, Mom. I'm a polite and well-behaved child." After Ivy passed the level, she leaned her head into Aria's arms and smiled.
Aria felt relieved, sat down beside Ivy, and opened another computer: "Come on, let Mom accompany you to play, not a competition this time."
Ivy nodded, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she looked very happy.
—
Three days later.
After sending Ivy to school, Aria rushed to the banquet venue.
ML Hotel is the largest, most comprehensive service, and the most expensive five-star hotel in Malco City, where the Mamet family's banquet was held.
Today, Aria wore a black waist-cinching long dress, and her delicate and beautiful face had light makeup, looking more wicked than usual.
Her skin was already fair and the black long dress made her skin even paler, her figure thin and her waist slender.
At the moment, she was sitting in the car, looking at the familiar scenery outside with a cold expression, not knowing what she was thinking.
Today, she was colder than ever.
When Aria went to the ML Hotel, at the Flack family's house.
George Flack was already dressed and ready to go to the banquet hosted by the Mamet family while listening to his assistant's report.
He quietly gave his assistant a few orders and was about to leave when a small figure pounced on him, hugging his leg tightly: "Dad."
"What's the matter?" George Flack made a pause gesture to the assistant, lowered his head to look at the boy hugging his leg, and rubbed his head: "Uncomfortable?"
"No." The little boy shook his head, his clear eyes filled with some hope: "Can you take me with you? I promise to behave."
It had been a long time since he had been out.
"Not today." George Flack took the boy's hand, squatted down, and faced him eye to eye: "I have something to do today. I'll take you out when I'm free."
"Oh, okay then." The little boy's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he didn't make a fuss and nodded sensibly: "I'll wait for you at home."
"Well, the teacher I hired will be here soon, so please finish the homework assigned by the teacher, and I will check it when I come back." George Flack's face was indifferent, but his eyes were extremely gentle as he rubbed the boy's head and spoke.
"Mhm, okay." The little boy nodded and watched George Flack leave with his assistant before returning to his room.
He was sickly and had caused trouble for his mom and dad since a young age.
He didn't want them to think he was a burden, so he was determined to do what his dad told him.
—
ML Hotel.
Various cars stopped downstairs, and people wearing suits or formal attire, exuding an aura of successful people, kept getting out of the cars.
When Aria got out of the car, many people cast amazed and somewhat probing eyes at her, but no one dared to approach her and ask about her origins.
After all, people attending a banquet hosted by the Mamet family wouldn't have come from humble beginnings.
It's just that this unfamiliar face made them curious.
Aria had long been accustomed to these gazes, she glanced around without noticing any familiar faces from the information she had, then retracted her gaze and walked into the hotel, accompanied by Dean Taylor.
As soon as she entered, George Flack's car stopped.
The assistant sitting in the passenger seat looked at Aria's retreating figure in a daze, opened his mouth, then stuttered, pointing in her direction: "B-boss, isn't that girl Aria Grant?"
George, who was pretending to be asleep, instantly opened his eyes when he heard Aria's name, his deep eyes fixed in the direction the assistant pointed.
Unfortunately, Aria had already entered the hotel, and he couldn't even see her back.
But the assistant wouldn't be mistaken.
George's eyes sank. She really appeared?
