Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

They had attended banquets before.

But the banquet hall at the Seven-star King’s Palace was never open to ordinary billionaires.

As such, even they had never seen such a grand, luxurious, and dazzling banquet hall.

“Mother… I… I’m so nervous…” Milly Gray quietly tugged at Rowena Gray’s arm.

Rowena turned her head and patted her daughter’s hand, “Don’t worry, you look beautiful tonight… Straighten your back, puff out your chest, and don’t be afraid. Don’t forget your task tonight!”

Upon being reminded by Rowena, Milly immediately thrust her chest out even more.

Rowena, satisfied, withdrew her gaze.

Upon turning her head, she found her own mother, Mrs. Gray, staring around with envy at the valuable decorations and banquet around them.

“Mother, just follow me later, and try not to speak unless it’s necessary.”

Ever since the Gray family fell apart, Rowena had become more and more displeased with her mother, who had pampered her since childhood.

If it weren’t for the mother-daughter bond between them, she wouldn’t want to raise such a useless old fellow at all.

Sonya Hamilton frowned unhappily upon hearing her daughter’s words.

But in the end, she said nothing and continued to follow Rowena, looking around curiously.

“Madam, the banquet will begin promptly at 7 o’clock. You can rest here for a while. If you are tired, there is a lounge upstairs available for your use…”

The waiter led Rowena and the others to a table near the front of the banquet hall.

This evening’s banquet was a mix of Chinese and Western styles.

There were nearly a hundred round tables in the banquet hall, which looked a bit like some Chinese-style banquets.

However, both the dishes and the floral arrangements on the table were all in the style of the West.

Because the entire second floor of the Seven-star King’s Palace was a banquet hall, there was not only room for nearly a hundred tables but also a sizeable dance floor in the central area.

“Mother… This is table number two… Can we really sit so close to the front?”

Milly’s sharp eyes caught sight of the golden table number hidden within the lush floral decorations in the center of the round table.

“It really is the second table…” Following Milly’s gaze, Rowena also showed a surprised expression.

Rowena knew where her family stood in terms of status and wealth.

Especially after the downfall of the Gray family, they lost their foothold in A City.

The Lucas family’s banquet had actually arranged them at the second table – could it be a mistake?

“Mother, was this… arranged by Lady Lucas?”

Because of Rowena’s earlier advice, Milly was now very confident in replacing Lily Gray and getting into bed with Mr. Lucas.

She thought of the unseen lady of the house as soon as she saw the arrangement.

“Right, you’re correct, it must have been that lady who arranged this!”

At this moment, Rowena understood as well, and a smug smile appeared on her face. “Milly, this is… our big break! She has already paved the way for us without even receiving our allegiance yet. Do you understand?”

A joyful color appeared on Madam Gray’ s face when she heard the two talking.

Before they came, Rowena had told her that their main purpose for attending the banquet was to have her beloved granddaughter replace that loser, Lily Gray.
