People from different companies and families had already streamed in, as many had already started socializing and trying to build connections. As the reporters were busy capturing every moment, the newest couple in the entertainment industry made their entry as Abigael's fans were busy screaming on top of their lungs. As her fans celebrated her, the rest of the upper class was busy frowning at her behaviour and presentation, Andrew's mother and grandmother included. She had chosen a very indecent dress that did not fit the event at all, if anything, she belonged to the club with her current dressing. The slit was so high that one could roughly guess that she didn't have an inner wear but they pretended to butter her up, especially her lackies. The more confident she was the more shame would befall her if she screws a bit.
"President Hart, can you confirm more about your relationship with Miss Abigael?"
"Ohh I'll answer that on behalf of my man. We will be sending the wedding invites soon. Stay tuned!"
One reporter asked a question and before Andrew could answer, Abigael immediately pounced on the question and gave her own version of answers. For a second, an irritating expression appeared on Andrew's face, one which was unfortunately captured and one that would make headlines soon.
The truth was indeed it, as Andrew was highly irritated by Abigael and even after asking her to be mindful of her behavior and dressing, she didn't heed to it, instead she did the exact opposite of what they had talked about.
"What do you mean that is going to be my granddaughter in law? She looks like a harlot who hooks up with old men for a living!"
"I also don't know what is wrong with her mom! What will the circle think about us?"
Both grandma Hart and Mrs Hart were busy expressing their dissatisfaction to each other as they highly disagreed with Abigael's behavior, especially her dress code. They feared being on the news negatively, especially after they boasted about being on the special VVVIP gold guest list since they are potential in-laws with the Katz family, only for the current heir to come through the normal door.
'Ha! I think Rose was the best for Andrew, furthermore, she comes from the first branch!'
'Boasting but in reality they are nothing!'
'So the Harts have a prostitute for an in-law. Hehe.. '
'Ssh! be quiet, your voice is getting louder, remember the girl is still A Katz!'
A few socialites who knew what exactly happened between Andrew and Rose were busy gossiping as they ridiculed the Hart family but they did not spot the only young miss of the Hart family, Ivy Hart who was busy clenching her hands as she heard people making fun of her family.
Her eyes turned towards Abigael as she flashed her a look of pure hatred. She really hated this girl, like really hated her. Ivy loves reputation, fame and success and just like her brother, she really benefited from Rose. Infact, Rose is the sole reason why she is the top actress of Hart entertainment. Without Rose guiding her, she didn't know what to do and according to her, it is because of that woman that she lost her privileges.
She knew Rose is a kind hearted girl who really loved and still loves her brother and just like any sibling, she knew her brother was getting irritated with that woman and she knew if she manipulated Rose a little bit then she would get the girl back under her control.
Ivy smiled at her plan as she made her way towards her family not forgetting to wave at her fans and some of the socialites who wanted to curry favor with her.
'Hello Auntie, Hello grandma, hello uncle, hello sister.' Abigael gently greeted the Hart family, purposefully excuding an air of innocence but the Hart women knew better than being deceived by her. From a glance they could tell that this woman was mad scheming but once they remembered she is carrying their heir, and what they kept hearing from her about the next Katz president, they plastered their fake smiles and warmly welcomed her, amusing the crowd that was secretly watching since they were convinced that the Abigael was not an approved member of the Hart family.
Abigael smiled inwardly as she watched them suck up to her. she was very sure when she told them that her father was going to be the next Katz president as she had seen the man acting very excited for the past few hours. Little did her stupid self know that her father was excited because of them being in-laws with the Hart family, a prestigious family and even though he is unable to become president as the old man despised him for reasons he still doesn't know then atleast his daughter got into a beautiful and prestigious family.
Just like that, everyone watched as their fellow upper class members got in and as the gates were being closed signifying that each and every invited member was in then the anticipation and excitement started growing as most realized they didn't notice some of the Katz members, the whole Lee family, the Aldrich family and some other top families and that's when some started pointing out that they came though a different door as these were the golden class members, surging envy among the rest.
As they were wondering, the door to the left was suddenly opened and everyone held their breath as they watched the said missing members confidently walking in as they headed to the high table, all this while not bothering to greet anyone.
Andrew frowned as he tried looking for Rose but couldn't see her no matter how much he struggled to find her.
'What I would do to be part of them!!'
Different socialites could be heard voicing their wishes as they watched the people who carry the country acting as if it is nothing!
'This hateful child! Look at her being absent on such a day!' Mrs Katz voiced her dissatisfaction as she tried scanning the hall for Rose but couldn't see her. She couldn't help but wear a disdainful look inwardly as she wondered where the girl who loved to try pleasing her went.
"Don't bother about that little curse my love, let us focus on the topic at hand, I can see father and mother looking at my direction from time to time." Mr Katz immediately comforted his wife as his biggest concern was on inheriting the company today since he is the first born. He knew his parents are unpredictable but he was sure that the president is coming from his first branch family! In a moment of greed, the man forgot that he has a daughter who is super close with the elders and as much the Katz family members acted calm on the outside they feared and somehow had a hunch on who the next president was going to be.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Thank you so much for taking your time to attend this event today. A day that we have been waiting for eagerly. A day that Katz Cooperation is going to be under a new president for the first time in 50 years!!"
The guests heartedly applauded as they agreed that today was indeed going to be a historic moment for the business world and the upper-class community.
"I will not take your time but I would like to invite the elders of the Katz Family, the current president of Katz Cooperation and the man who is going to satisfy our curiosity today! A round applause for President Katz and his wife, the matriarch of the Katz family Mrs Katz!!!"
A thunderous applause boomed across the hall as grandpa and grandma Katz made their way to the podium, walking confidently as if they were not about to hit 80+ years alive. Despite being in their late seventies, the elders walked as if they were in their early thirties, their skin looking smooth and the amount of wrinkles on their faces being close to none.
