At the same time, outside the Reed family's mansion in Orange county city, several luxury cars slowly pulled up and parked outside the gate.
The car doors opened and several men and women stepped out.
Among them were Yvonne Logan and Gwen Ryder.
The other person was a man. He was dressed in an expensive suit, handsome and imposing.
This person was Yvonne Logan's high school classmate, Gerald Wayne.
"Gerald, whether we can see Mr Samuel Reed this time depends on you. Otherwise, Yvonne's company might really be finished" Gwen said with a smile.
Yvonne added.
"Yes, Gerald, we're counting on you tonight. If things go well, Logan Group will definitely reward you."
Gerald Wayne waved his hand and looked at Yvonne Logan with a gentle smile in his eyes.
"Yvonne, you're being too polite. We're old classmates, helping each other out is what we should do. I just hope that in the future, when I invite you out for a meal, you'll honour me with your presence."
Gerald's words were full of meaning.
Gwen Ryder sensed something and joked.
"Hahaha, don't worry, maybe in the future, Yvonne will offer herself to you directly."
"Jesus! Gwen, don't talk nonsense..." Yvonne Logan glared at her friend, her pretty face blushing slightly.
This shy demeanor was even more charming in Gerald Wayne's eyes.
At this moment, Yvonne's phone suddenly rang, and it was an unfamiliar number.
She answered and found out it was Charles Wellington.
"Who gave you my phone number?" Yvonne Logan asked coldly into her phone.
"Yvonne....I...." Charles Wellington said telling Yvonne that he has secured a meeting with the head of the Reed family.
"I'm busy now, I don't have time to waste with you!. Also in the future, contact my secretary if you have any business with me. Don't you ever call me directly"
Yvonne hung up the phone quickly, her face full of anger.
"What's wrong, Yvonne? Whose call was it?" Gwen Ryder asked curiously.
"Charles Wellington"
"That useless low life what does he wants with you this time?" Gwen said angrily.
"He said he wants to take me to see Samuel Reed" Yvonne Logan replied.
Pfft!
Gwen Ryder burst out laughing.
"That idiot really said that? He's really daring to brag" added Gerald Wayne who was standing nearby.
"Yvonne, your friend seems to like joking around" he continued.
"Samuel Reed, has been retired for many years, living a simple life. As far as I know, the only person in our Orange county who has the qualifications to meet him is the top person in our city, I mean the mayor. Even my father can only make an appointment with Mr Reed's grandson." Gerald added once more.
The person they were going to meet today, Kenneth Reed, was actually Samuel Reed's grandson.
"Never mind him, that Charles Wellington is just a total idiot, a big time fool" Gwen said still finding what Yvonne just told her amusing.
"Well, it's getting late, let me take you guys in"
Gerald Wayne said as they walked towards the entrance of the estate.
...
Meanwhile, Charles Wellington was riding in the Rolls Royce with Melissa Quinton, heading towards the Reed family estate.
"Damn it!"
"This stupid woman!"
"She really took my good intentions for granted!"
Charles who had just been hung up on by Yvonne Logan on the phone, said three times in a roll.
He had wanted to take Yvonne Logan with him to see Samuel Reed, but who would have thought that Yvonne didn't believe him and thought he was playing her.
Forget it, if Yvonne Logan didn't want to go, then so be it.
He would just go see this Reed family head, Samuel Reed, by himself.
Anyway, he still had Melissa Quinton with him, so on the contrary he wasn't alone.
...
"What did you say?"
"The Reed family won't receive guests tonight? Are you kidding me?"
"We had an appointment before we came here. Mr Kenneth Reed himself told us to come over at seven tonight."
Outside the Reed family estate, the three of them, Yvonne Logan and her friends, were blocked by the security guards at the gate.
Gerald Wayne was obviously the one arguing with them.
"Sorry, we don't know the specifics either. We're just following orders from above. So, please go back."
The security guard at the gate refused Gerald Wayne and the others' request to enter again.
"Gerald, what's going on? Didn't you say your father had already talked to the Reed family? We were supposed to meet at the estate tonight right?"
Seeing that they couldn't get into the Reed family estate, Gwen Ryder became anxious and asked.
Yvonne Logan's pretty face also showed a sense of urgency.
She had to hurry up.
The company's funding chain was about to break.
If she couldn't get the money, her position as CEO was a minor issue, she was really afraid that her grandfather's lifelong efforts would be ruined in her hands.
"Don't panic, it's probably just these few security guards who are not aware of the situation. Let me go and talk to my dad."
"We will definitely be able to get in. My father may not have the qualifications to see Mr Samuel Reed, but with the help of Kenneth Reed, we still have a chance."
Gerald Wayne assured them.
Just then, a large number of people came out from deep inside the estate, led by an old man who seemed to be the butler of the Reed family estate.
Gerald Wayne walked up to him and explained their purpose.
However, the response they received was still the same: no outsiders were allowed into the Reed family estate tonight.
"This is definitely a mistake!"
"We just called half an hour ago. Mr Kenneth Reed asked us to come and see him. If you don't believe us, why don't you go and ask Mr Kenneth Reed if we have an appointment?"
Gerald Wayne was both anxious and angry.
He had just boasted about his abilities, and the girl he liked was watching from behind. If they were not allowed in, he would lose face.
However, in the face of Gerald Wayne's anger, the steward just smiled and said.
"There's no need to ask. Do you think that in the Reed family, it's Mr Kenneth Reed's words that count, or the words of the patriarch, Mr Samuel Reed?"
Gerald Wayne, Gwen Ryder and Yvonne Logan were stunned at his words.
"Are you saying that it was Mr Samuel Reed who said no outsiders were allowed in tonight?" Gerald Wayne asked.
The butler smiled but said nothing else.
He just advised Gerald Wayne and his friends not to waste any more time and to hurry back.
"In a while, Mr Reed will have an important guest coming. If you disturb Mr Reed's guest, the consequences may be more than you can bear."
After the butler said these words, Gerald Wayne and his friends were scared and didn't dare to say anything. They all retreated to a distance.
"Hurry!"
"Everyone, hurry up!"
"Put the flowers on and lay out the red carpet."
"Clean up the entrance!"
"Is the ceremonial welcome team ready?"
"Hurry up and stand in position!"
"The guest coming tonight is a real big shot. There can be no mistakes. Do you hear me?"
Outside the mansion, the butler was commanding his subordinates to decorate and clean up the entrance to welcome the guest.
Yvonne Logan, and her friends were all stunned.
My god!
To have the Reed family personally receive and welcome the guest, who could this big shot be?
Gerald Wayne, who was full of complaints just now, had no temper at all at this moment.
Wasn't he just turned down by the Reed amily?
But compared to the upcoming big shot, he was nothing.
"Yvonne, who do you think is coming this time?"
"Could it be the mayor of our city?" Gwen Ryder was also full of curiosity.
Yvonne Logan also shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
But their minds were full of curiosity.
Yvonne even thought that even if they couldn't see the Reed family, if they could meet this important person who was coming next, then the predicament of their Logan Group could be easily solved.
However, this idea only appeared for a moment, and Yvonne Logan quickly suppressed it.
After all, it was an unrealistic fantasy.
They couldn't even see the descendants of Samuel Reed.
How could they have the qualifications to meet the person whom could be worthy of seeing Samuel Reed and gets treated so seriously?
Just as Yvonne Logan was self-deprecating, the sound of an engine roaring came from the end of the road.
Immediately after, the dazzling lights illuminated the streets of Orange county city, in the evening like swords.
Then, a Rolls-Royce rushed in like a steel flood and finally stopped outside the Reed family mansion.
"They're here!"
"Quickly go and invite the old master!"
The butler saw that the distinguished guest had arrived and immediately shouted anxiously.
Soon, an old man with white hair appeared outside the mansion, accompanied by a group of people.
The majestic car door slowly opened, and Melissa Quinton, dressed in military uniform, with a cold and majestic look, stood outside the Reed family's door.
And following Melissa Quinton out of the car was Charles Wellington, who looked like someone who just woken up from sleep.
"Um, have we arrived?" Charles asked as he rubbed his sleepy face.
At this moment, Melissa Quinton looked at Charles Wellington with contempt in her eyes.
This bastard actually fell asleep on the way here.
"Absolutely useless, no wonder he was abandoned by the Wellington family" thought Melissa Quinton.
She couldn't deny that Charles's abilities were far inferior to those of his brother, Maxwell Wellington.
Melissa promised herself that once she was done using Charles Wellington to deal with his brother, she would stay far away from him.
She had no interest in mediocre and incompetent people like him.
"We're here, we're here," said one of Melissa's assistants, who were both enthusiastic and attentive, despite her disdain for Charles Wellington.
As they straightened Charles's wrinkled clothes, they cheerfully announced their arrival.
Melissa frowned slightly.
She felt that her two assistants had been acting strange since they beat up Charles Wellington.
"General Quinton, if it weren't for your call, this old man wouldn't have known you were already in Orange county" said Samuel Reed who had come to greet them.
"If not for that, I would have paid my respects to you long ago. Now that General Quinton has come in person, I am truly honored and grateful"
Samuel Reed said, bowing low.
Melissa nodded and said.
"Let's go inside and talk."
Without saying much more, they entered the Reed family's estate.
Meanwhile, the onlookers outside the estate were in shock.
"Oh my god! A General"
"Wow she's a general at this young age?!"
"No wonder Old master Reed is so respectful" exclaimed Gerald Wayne.
Gwen Ryder was equally impressed. "If only we could get to know people like them" she sighed.
"Hmm? Yvonne, what's wrong with you?" Gwen Ryder suddenly noticed Yvonne Logan beside her.
At this moment, Yvonne Logan's face was pale, and her expression was somewhat dull.
She looked at the thin figure in the distance, her voice trembling, and said in disbelief.
"Gwen, that...that person, doesn't he resemble Charles Wellington?"
