Chapter 377
As she spoke, she pulled the gold-embossed invitation from her purse. “Isabella gave me this invitation herself. She even specifically said I could bring my family along to the Blackwood heiress’s coming-of-age party p>
The gold-embossed invitation shimmered in the golden sunlight.
It was true. If they weren’t close, why would the Lancaster heiress, while attending the Blackwood heiress’s party herself, also bring Hailey along?
This invitation was the real deal.
Patrick’s expression softened slightly.
Marianne shot him a glare and smacked his shoulder. “Patrick, what are you talking about? Would our daughter lie to us about something so important? We’re standing at the entrance to the Blackwood estate right now, and you’re still doubting her p>
“Why are you getting so worked up? If it weren’t for our daughter, would you even be here? I bet we were just too overeager and overwhelmed the Lancasters! They’re the wealthiest family in the city! They don’t have time to chit-chat with us p>
“Besides, didn’t you hear Miss Lancaster say Miss Blackwood was waiting for her? She was probably just in a hurry to see her p>
Hailey nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes, that must be it p>

He spotted several tycoons he often saw in the financial news, the heads

Patrick immediately turned and shot a fierce glare at his wife and daughter. “All of you, be smart and cut the nonsense p>
With that, he snatched the gold-embossed invitation from Hailey’s hand, clutching it tightly.
Then, plastering a fawning smile on his face, he hurried over to intercept the group of heavy hitters.
Mr. Keaton. Mr. Lewis! A pleasure, a pleasure! Patrick squeezed his way into the group bowing and scraping as he offered his business card with both hands. “I’m Patrick from the Wynn Group, we specialize in p>
He launched into a rapid-fire pitch about his company’s specialty projects, his face stretched into a wide smile.
The tycoons were taken aback by this person who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Hearing a company name they had never even heard of, they all frowned deeply.
