The five-star Hyatt Centric Las Olas Fort Lauderdale in the city, the only hotel comparable to the world's largest hotel, the Capella Bangkok, was booked entirely by the Larsons Group today to entertain the Hendersons, the largest conglomerate in New York.
All the guests who came to this cocktail party were well-known figures with a certain influence in the business and military circles, which showed the power and breadth of Larsons's network of contacts.
Younes, who no longer participated in the business world, also attended the cocktail party in his best attire with his wife, and personally met Lambert Henderson and his wife.
"Franklin, are you sure you can get away from all these?" Jermaine, who was sitting in the lounge on the second floor, looked at the noblewoman businessperson in the hall downstairs and sighed with great interest.
As for Jermaine's gloating, Franklin was quite calm. Wearing a black limited edition suit, he sat on the leather sofa with his legs crossed, concentrating on the various reports in his hands, not affected by any distractions.
Seeing no one paying any attention. Jermaine raised his voice and said. "Hey, your old man is about to announce your arranged marriage to Lucille. Why aren't you doing anything?"
Younes not only invited people from all walks of life, but also allowed some media to enter for coverage. His intention was obviously to use absolute means to make Franklin agree to the arrangements.
But how could Franklin allow himself to be manipulated by others? What's going on with him being silent?
Gareth, who was standing aside, also stole a glance at his own president of the Larson Group of Companies, wondering in his mind what method Franklin would use to escape this business marriage. There was no one who told him to do anything, but the president already had the idea of fighting back?
"Just wait and see the show!" Franklin replied calmly without taking his eyes off the manuscript.
"When Yasmin went to Vegas, wasn't it because of this?!" Franklin's words reminded Jermaine of the time when Yasmin suddenly said goodbye to him and went to Vegas.
When Jermaine wanted to continue asking, an uncoordinated female voice shouted from outside the door, "Frank... I know you are in there, open the door quickly."
As the voice sounded, there were several loud knocks on the door.
Franklin was distracted by the noise and frowned. "Let her in."
"Yes!" Gareth took the order and went to open the door.
Jermaine looked at Franklin as if he was a retard. What was wrong with him to let her in?
As soon as Lucille entered the room, she ran towards Franklin with a sweet smile and clung to his arm. "Darling, what are you doing here? It's so hard for me to find you."
With dark eyes, Franklin glanced at the entangled hands and said coldly. "Lucille, just control yourself."
He hated being pestered the most, and Lucille was a woman who didn't know what modesty was, which gave him a headache.
"Okay, you know I haven't seen you for a long time. Don't you miss me?" She pouted and let go of Franklin, looking sad.
She had finally come back from abroad to see him, but why was she still treated coldly by him? Did he hate her so much?
"Pfft..." Jermaine on the side couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Lucille, who had nowhere to vent her anger, saw Jermaine making fun of her and asked angrily.
"Hi, Lucille. I'm not laughing at you. I had a choke in my throat while drinking this water. It's not my fault." Jermaine put down the water cup and said innocently with a hint of sarcasm in his words.
The simple-minded Lucille couldn't understand the mystery, but Gareth standing behind her tried hard to hold back his laughter.
Lucille believed it, and gave him a ludicrous look. "If you don't know how to drink water, then don't drink it."
Gareth, could no longer hide his smile and laughed secretly with his hands covering his lips.
"Frank, your girlfriend is really unique. Whoever marries her will be very happy." Jermaine looked at Franklin with pity.
When Lucille heard the compliment, she looked into Franklin's eyes with excitement, saying proudly."Of course."
