Chapter 769

After walking out from the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, the smile on Celine’s face gradually dissipated.

By the time she arrived at a black commercial vehicle that had been parked at the entrance of the hotel
for a long time, the expression on her face was impassive.

The door of the commercial vehicle slid open to reveal two men and two women sitting inside the car.
One of the blonde women spoke out in a sarcastic tone, “Miss Maynard, have you finished catching up
with your friend? If you’re done, we should go now. We have fulfilled your request to visit Jasper Laine,
but we hope that you can cooperate with us during our following investigation.”

Celine eyed the blonde woman coldly. “Catherine, don’t think that I’m oblivious about what happened
between William and you. Didn’t the two of you cause the scandal in the office back then? He threw
you aside for his own future. Just look at you now. So many years have passed, but you’re still so loyal
to him,” she said.

Catherine’s expression darkened as she gritted her teeth. “Celine Maynard, don’t get ahead of yourself.
Don’t forget that you’re now being investigated by the bank!” She blurted out.

“An investigation is just an investigation. What’s the matter? When have I ever said that I wouldn’t
cooperate with you?” Celine questioned her in a frigid tone.

“It’s just an investigation. Maintain a polite attitude in front of me. I’m still the general manager of the
Terra regional branch of Colossal Investments. In terms of position, I rank higher than any of you. If you
offend me in any way, none of you will be let off easily.”

Celine finished speaking with an impassive expression on her face. She then got into the car.

“Start the car,” Celine took the initiative to give the order.



The employee that was in charge of driving the car was stunned. He turned to look at Catherine
instinctively.

However, Catherine had a sullen expression plastered upon her face. She wanted to retort against
Celine, but she did not dare to do so. “Start the car!” She said through gritted teeth.

The black commercial vehicle slowly left. It merged into the heavy traffic and headed toward the
headquarters of Colossal Investments.

…

It was almost time for the evening banquet.

As the representative of Colossal Investments, William had returned to New York as well. He arrived at
the banquet hall of the hotel before the actual event time.

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel was Colossal Investments’ long-term partner. Therefore, the people here all
knew William, who was a young elite within the financial circle. They all greeted him politely.

William nodded with a smile in response.

He grabbed hold of a staff member and asked him nonchalantly, “May I know who the service manager
in charge of the banquet in the evening is?”

The staff member was surprised by the fact that William was talking to him. He immediately replied,
“That would be me, Mr. William.”

“That’s great,” William said cheerily as he took out a hundred US dollar bill and handed it over to him.
“The banquet tonight is extremely important. Not only will the executives of Colossal Investments be
here, but a lot of elites from Wall Street will be in attendance as well. This is an opportunity for Colossal



Investments to demonstrate its capabilities to Sena, so you must guard the event strictly. Don’t let any
strangers into the hall,” he said.

“Especially a young man from Somerland. Understood?”

The service manager was slightly stunned. “Mr. William, I will definitely carry out my responsibilities to
the fullest of my abilities, but a young man from Somerland? Isn’t Sena a company from Somerland? Is
there a mistake?” He asked instinctively.

I want you to make a mistake!

William thought to himself. Nevertheless, he grinned widely at the staff member and said, “Don’t worry.
Don’t bother about those who are older, but as for a young man… Think about it, how can a young man
in his twenties attend such an important event? Anyways, just remember to check the guest list strictly.
Here is your tip.”

The service manager pondered upon it for a while and figured that there should not be any problem
with his requests. He agreed to it at once and put away his tip happily.

William turned around and left with a smile on his face. He felt extremely exhilarated.

He knew that arranging for someone to prevent Jasper from entering the hall was not anything great,
but he just wanted to disgust him. That was more than enough for him.

William wanted to embarrass Jasper so that he would feel disgusted by them.

He felt beyond excited and satisfied upon thinking about the awkward scenario that would occur later.

…

The evening banquet commenced at the set timing.



With Colossal Invesments’ persuasion, and the Sena’s attractive concept, Sena’s pre-listing banquet
managed to draw the attention of a lot of famous investors from Wall Street.

This evening banquet could be regarded as a high-end networking event between business elites.

Jasper attended the event clad in a formal business suit. As he had left his room slightly late, he did not
ask Jack and the others to wait for him. He decided to head straight to the banquet on his own instead.

He had just arrived at the entrance when a manager with a blank expression on his face came over
and said, “Sir, please show me your invitation!”

“Invitation?”

Jasper frowned. As the main stakeholder in tonight’s banquet, Jasper did not need an invitation.

The manager smiled. He was just about to say something when the door to the hall opened.

Jameson walked out in a hurry. He seemed to be looking for someone. His gaze shone once he caught
sight of Jasper, and he walked over courteously at once.

“Mr. Laine, the banquet has already begun. Without the main stakeholder, the banquet can’t
commence. Follow me in right now,” he said.

Jameson’s words shocked the service manager.

Jasper chuckled and patted the service manager on his shoulder. He then followed Jameson into the
hall.

Jasper thought that the manager was just carrying out his usual responsibilities. He would not hold a
grudge over a small issue like that.



Meanwhile, that manager broke out into cold sweat as he stared at the two figures walking into the hall.
He had prepared for the worst and thought that he was about to meet his ancestors in heaven.

“Is this that certain someone who wasn’t supposed to be eligible to participate in the banquet? He is the
main person being celebrated in tonight’s banquet! You b*stard, William. I hope you’re faced with bad
luck tonight!”

The service manager dabbed at the cold sweat on his face. He was still pretty shaken up. He was lucky
that Jasper did not blame him for all the trouble, or otherwise, his job would be at risk!
