Chapter 978

Slowly, more and more guests filed in, and the banquet hall was soon full of well–dressed guests.

The members of the Willis family got up to receive the guests. “Adeena, you‘re not an official member
of the Willis family. You can go to the side and rest,” Ruth said with a contrived smile.

Adeena knew what Ruth was thinking. She was just afraid that Adeena the foster daughter stole the
limelight from her, the real daughter of the Willis family. Adeena discreetly shrugged. Then, she held a
glass of champagne and went to the balcony beside the banquet hall for some fresh air.

She just stood there for less than a minute, and Brady Willis walked over.

Mdm. Willis had two sons. Her eldest son, Clarence Willis, managed Willis Corporation. The eldest son
was the CEO of Willis Corporation, while the second son, Kendry, was the COO.

Clarence had two sons. His eldest son, Brady, was twenty–nine years old. He was not married yet,
which was the most hectic problem for Mdm. Willis.

“Adeena, why are you here alone?”

Brady toasted to her while he casually asked.

Adeena smiled. “Aren‘t you also here?”

Brady shook his head. “This banquet is so boring. It seems to celebrate Grandma‘s birthday, but it‘s
actually the best venue for all the big families to discuss business projects.”

Adeena cast a glance at him.



Brady was Clarence‘s eldest son, and he was also the future heir of Willis Corporation, which had been
internally decided. Should he not take this opportunity to show up at this time? Why would he come
here and languish about?

“Don‘t look at me like this. I‘m not interested in managing the company.” Brady chuckled in resignation.
“If I become the heir of Willis Corporation, then my marriage will become the tool of the arranged
marriage of the company. I don‘t want to lose the ability to make my own decision for my marriage.”

Adeena smiled indifferently.

There were just three descendants in the Willis family. Brady was not interested in doing business,
Clarence always indulged himself in fun, and the only daughter, Ruth, did not even know how to do
business. When Willis Corporation fell into this generation, it would probably last for a few decades
before it disappeared from the business industry.

But all this did not have anything to do with her.

“Adeena, you‘re more suitable to be the heir than any one of us, “Brady sincerely said.

He did not have many chances to get along with Uncle Kendry‘s foster daughter, but he always saw
that Adeena attended major business forums in Cloud City.

Without relying on the Willis family, she was able to make the company she had established take such
a big step forward. The business ability of this foster daughter was really impressive.

“Brady, you shouldn‘t say that.” Adeena indifferently smiled and said, “I don‘t wish to get involved with
the Willis family.” She would leave the Willis family and find her own family one day.

There was a voice in her heart that kept telling her that she did not belong here.



The Willis family saved her. So no matter how Ruth and Mdm. Willis excluded her, she did not mind.
After she repaid the kindness, she would leave Cloud City and settle down in Sea City. She always had
a special affection for Sea City. She should be from Sea City. “Adeena, why are you here?” Jada
walked over from the banquet hall. “I was looking for you.” “Why do you want to look for Adeena, Aunt
Jada?” Brady smiled and asked, “I still want to learn from Adeena how to do business.” Jada‘s gaze
dodged. She said to Adeena, “I have something to talk to you about. Go to the banquet hall and wait for
me.” Adeena nodded before she turned around, lifted the hem of her dress, and went back to the
banquet hall. “Brady.” Jada smiled gently and asked, “What do you think about Adeena?”

“Adeena is brilliant. She was able to set her foot in the business industry of Cloud City on her own,”
Brady sincerely complimented her. “If I have time, I will want to learn more from her, so that my parents
won‘t always say I‘m useless.”
