Chapter 388
Serena’s narrowed eyes swept over them coolly.
Both men were sharp. They understood their boss’s meaning in an instant and awkwardly corrected themselves. “Miss Lancaster, what a coincidence seeing you here p>
The name changed, but their respectful attitude remained utterly deferential.
Patrick froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning, his expression turning stiff and strange.
His eyes widened in disbelief at the scene unfolding before him.
Mr. Anderson and Mr. Keaton… knew Serena p>
Mr. Anderson and Mr. Keaton, who had treated the Wynn family with utter disdain and shut the door in his face so many times, were now being so polite and respectful to Serena?
Listening to their familiar conversation, it was obvious p>
They had known each other for a long time!
How was that possible p>
Serena was a country bumpkin who grew up in the middle of nowhere.
How could she possibly know the heads of Titancrest Group and NovaForge Capital p>
When Serena was first brought back to the Wynn family from the countryside, she had been so timid and eager to please the entire family. She had even lived in that damp, cramped, and stuffy storage room for four years. Wasn’t that all to stay with the Wynn family, to hold on to her wealthy lifestyle?
If Serena really knew the heads of Titancrest Group and NovaForge Capital,
wouldn’t she have flaunted it long ago to curry favor?
The Wynn family was dumbfounded, utterly bewildered.
They all stared blankly as the two men the two corporate heads they had been desperately begging to see for days—chatted amiably with Serena.
The smiles on their faces were far warmer than any they had ever shown Patrick!
They all looked as if they had seen a ghost.
ет
Patrick’s mind was in turmoil. Seeing the two executives walking side by side with Serena toward the banquet, he was filled with a sense of bitter injustice and rushed after them Mr. Anderson, Mr Keaton this this woman… You, you know her p>
Mr. Anderson finally turned his gaze to him, but his eyes were sharp and icy, completely devoid of the warmth he had shown Serena. “Mr. Wynn, you’re out of line p>
Mr. Keaton, who had a shorter fuse, sneered and shot him an impatient look. “What’s it to you p>
Being treated so coldly by both of them left a sour taste in Patrick’s mouth.
He remembered a time when, although Titancrest Group and NovaForge Capital were considered top tier corporations in Vaetion City their leaders had always been exceptionally polite to him.
No matter what project the Wynn Group wanted to start, no matter what harebrained
new idea they had, the two men had supported it unconditionally.
They had even praised him, calling him a business genius! They believed in him!
Even when he lost them billions, they would just smile, pat his shoulder, and say that the losses were temporary, that they trusted the Wynn Group would lead them to great profits!
Every time they met, it was all friendly handshakes and warm greetings. The three of them had gotten along so well!
But… when did it all suddenly change?
They had inexplicably pulled their funding.
They had inexplicably given him the cold shoulder.
They had inexplicably started ignoring him.
Right now, Patrick felt like he’d been used and discarded by a player.
He desperately needed a reason.
“Mr. Anderson, Mr. Keaton, our partnership used to be so good! Why why did you suddenly pull
your funding? Without
ven giving
me a reason? Even if you’re going to execute me, you should at least let me die knowing why, shouldn’t you p>
