The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 143

As night fell, the ballroom on the third floor of a five-star hotel in Avesburgh became the venue for the Stellar Group's business gala.

Normally, a company of this caliber would host events at extremely grand locations like resorts. But no one thought that way here, as true luxury came from the company's own solid reputation.

Countless people were desperate to attend but lacked the qualifications to receive an invitation.

"Dad! Do... Do you think we can really get one of the partnership slots?" asked Sasha nervously.

The Quinton family of three had arrived. As the future inheritor of the family business, Sasha naturally wanted their company to be as strong as possible.

"I don't know."

Beside them, Nattie smiled. "Of course we can. The fact that Felix got Lord Kane to arrange an invitation for us means a lot. Why else would he invite us? No matter what, Felix wouldn't dare mess with your father like that."

Hearing this, Sasha's eyes lit up. "You're right, Mom. If Lord Kane wasn't confident, Felix wouldn't have managed to get us the invitation. That would backfire on him."

Warren frowned. "Enough. Let's find a place to sit." The gala tonight was of such high caliber that he did not recognize anyone. Even if he wanted to mingle, he frankly did not have the status to do so.

But as they were looking around, someone approached them. "You must be Mr. Quinton?"

Nattie and Sasha exchanged a glance, both filled with pride. So what if their company was small? Getting an invitation already said a lot. Besides, someone was already coming to curry favor with them.

At this moment, Felix also entered the ballroom. He did not want to show up at first, since anything Kane arranged would not go wrong. But after some thought, he felt it would be disrespectful to Warren, so he decided to come in the end. "Mr. Zeller, you're here, too?" Not long after he entered, Wendy came over to him.

"Yeah." As the wealthiest family in Avesburgh, the Kinsleys were the only family that was guaranteed one of the five partnership slots with Stellar Group. Everyone knew this.

"Go ahead with your business. I'll leave after the announcement."

"Oh." Though a little disappointed, Wendy was still happy. After all, she had gotten to

Kane had not come. His identity made it somewhat inappropriate to attend such occasions. It would be fine as long as everything was arranged properly.

"Well, well! I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Felix, how did someone like you manage to join such a high-end event?" After a while, Belle approached, making Felix frown.

"If we have nothing to say to each other, why bother coming over just to embarrass yourself?"

Embarrass herself? A cold glint flashed in Belle's eyes. She had never despised a man so much before. "Felix, you won't always be so lucky."

Seeing Felix ignore her, Belle suddenly smiled. "I saw Warren earlier. Logically speaking, his company shouldn't even be on Stellar Group's radar. Even some big companies in Avesburgh wouldn't give him the time of day. Yet he got an invitation. Must be your handiwork, right?"

Felix was losing patience. "Belle, you're testing my tolerance." If she really made him upset, he would not wait for Curtis to wake up before he dealt with this woman himself.

However, Belle was unbothered. "I know you're relying on Lord Kane's support. But sometimes, people from no-name places like you could be too naive. Do you really think everything will go your way? Soon, you'll see quite a show.' Today's Bonus Offer
