“You know, this banquet is a significant event for your family. You didn’t have to hold it here because you wanted to repay me. We’re friends, and friends help each other out. It means a lot that you even remember me,” said Olivia.
“People who understand would see that you’re looking out for me. But those who don’t would think that you are simple- minded and unsophisticated,” she continued.
After listening for a while, Danny finally figured out why this particular hotel was chosen. It turned out that the daughter of the Saun family and the owner of this hotel were old friends. Now that she had risen to prominence, she wanted to support her friend’s business.
Thinking of his own experiences and looking at Stella now, Danny suddenly felt like he’d been too narrow-minded for so many years. He realized he should not judge someone based on their nationality or background just because of a few negative interactions. There were both good and bad people in this world, just like there were those who betrayed trust and those who held loyalty in high regard.
Danny recognized that his Hustuabourgian girlfriend had stood by him through thick and thin. And now, knowing that Stella had not forgotten her old friends while rising to success, he felt that he was wrong to have categorized Hustuabourgians as backstabbers.
Danny smiled and said, “Your daughter is a good person, Mr.
Saun. I’m very impressed by her.”
Wenham loved nothing more than hearing praise for his daughter. So, he immediately joined in praising her.
As Stella listened to the praises, she wondered if they were too much, especially because she and Wenham had not had much time to bond yet.
After Danny chatted with Wenham, he finally said, “Mr. Saun, please send me your proposal again. My assistant cleared out my mailbox earlier, so I did not have the chance to read it. I’ll take a good look at it when I get back and give it some thought.”
Everyone at the table was surprised to hearthat. They knew Danny was a tough nut to crack in the business industry. Many of them had been trying to collaborate with him for so long, but he never budged. He did not even look at the documents they sent and simply deleted the emails.
No one expected him to say something like this on such an occasion. It was a rare occurrence.
Wenham, slightly excited, said, “Alright. I’ll have Trevor send it to you later.”
Danny nodded and said, “It’s evident that your daughter is loyal to her friends and has a noble character. I believe you won’t disappoint me either.”
Wenham was even happier to know that Stella had a hand in this decision. He felt that she was a blessing to their family.
Darcie clenched her hands, her face soft as ever. She raised her glass and said, “Mr. Winston, I raise this glass to you. Thank you for giving our family this opportunity.”
Meanwhile, Jaylene was not as composed as Darcie. She pressed her lips tightly together, unable to muster a smile no matter how hard she tried.
Trevor observed her expression and looked away to continue peeling a shrimp for Stella.
