Chapter 294 You Ask for It

Conrad's heart skipped a beat, and a smile appeared on his face.

He rubbed his hands, held his joy back, and laughed fawningly, "I knew that you are the best. Don't worry. I will not let you down!

"The entire Longfellow Group will be ours. I will let everyone know that you are the only hostess of the company."

His eyes were filled with deep love. His look made Mathilda feel extremely disgusted. She tightened her hand on one side and maintained her sweet smile. However, deep disgust flashed through the depths of

Conrad looked at her smile and felt a little uncomfortable.

These days, Mathilda had never mentioned what happened that night. It was as if she had forgiven him.

He always felt uneasy.

But he couldn't ask her...

Conrad's eyes turned slightly, and then he changed to a vexed expression. He lowered his voice and said, "Honey, about what happened before..."

Mathilda raised her eyebrows and interrupted Conrad, "What is it? What do you want to say?"

"That night..." Conrad looked at her with sincerity. He looked distressed. "No matter whether you believe me or not, I want to tell you that you are the only one in my heart. I will never do anything to betray you." Mathilda raised her eyes and glanced at him. "I know. I don't think you have the audacity to do that."

Her attitude was no different from usual. Conrad was relieved.

He thought maybe he was thinking too much.

Mathilda was not that smart.

It was probably the last time when Janet suddenly appeared when he was about to succeed, which left him a complex

about it.

After a long sigh of relief, Conrad was a little relieved.

There came the sound of cars. He checked the time and found his guests were almost here. Conrad dusted off his clothes and prepared to go out to welcome the guests. Suddenly, a hand grabbed his sleeve.

It was Mathilda. She helped him with his tic. She lowered her eyes and asked, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

Then the sound of footsteps sounded outside, mixed with the laughter of the guests. Conrad's attention was completely attracted.

Get Bands

He pulled Mathilda's hand away and said perfunctorily as he walked out, "No, honey, the guests are here. Let's

welcome them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Conrad disappeared from the door.

Mathilda stood at the back, watching Conrad welcome the guests with a flash of resentment in her eyes.

Oh, Conrad...

You asked for it!

The guests arrived one after another. Conrad and Mathilda were busy mingling. The large party was going on at the Doherty's house. Some of the guests toasted Conrad with a respectful and humble attitude. Seeing all the celebrities appearing at his party, Conrad felt a little proud.

Dressed in a high-end dress, Mathilda looked like a noble lady. She was standing beside Conrad in a low profile, letting Conrad have all the light.

"Mr. and Mrs. Doherty, I am flattered by your invitation!"

"Mr. Doherty, what a rare chance to talk to you. I must take this opportunity to have a drink with you!"

"Mr. Doherty, I came with sincerity today. We can cooperate in the future!"

The continuous compliments made Conrad feel extremely satisfied.

Ever since Janet returned, his business partners had avoided him. He knew that they did not dare to fight against her and could only abandon him. But now everything was different. Janet disappeared a long time ago, and those people. would come back to him naturally.

However, what was different from the last time was that many big shots beyond his reach were at his party. Although only the wives came, it was a signal, indicating that he had made his way into the upper- class society, just like the Longfellow family these years.

In the garden, Conrad smiled brightly. Reporters kept taking photos of him. Under the flashing lights, Conrad stood on the high platform with his back straight and his jaw slightly raised.

"Today, I have an announcement.

"My wife will announce it when the party begins."

Conrad kept them in suspense. All the guests became quite curious, and everyone began to guess what it was.

Many people knew that Janet had gone missing. Now that Conrad was holding a birthday party for his daughter, people assumed that the announcement would be related to Janet and the Longfellow Group. If something happened to Janet, the Longfellow Group would probably be over....

Fonun

Some women who were familiar with Mathilda looked at Mathilda with inquiring eyes.

Mathilda pretended not to see them and stared at Conrad on the stage with a faint smile,

A brave reporter raised his hand and asked loudly, "Mr. Doherty, where is Ms. Longfellow now? Today is Miss Doherty's birthday. As her sister, Ms. Longfellow should be here, right?"

A trace of displeasure flashed across Conrad's heart.

He cursed the reporters for mentioning it. The reporter just ruined the day.

"I believe Ms. Longfellow will wish my daughter a happy birthday. It doesn't matter whether she is here or not."

Conrad replied and stepped down the stage.

"Mr. Doherty is hiding something. Could it be that something happened to Ms. Longfellow as the rumors say?"

"No way... Ms. Longfellow had several brothers. Maybe it was about something else."

"I heard that Ms. Longfellow went to Canada a while ago. Will she get married abroad?"

A reporter saw Mathilda and winked at him. "Shh, stop talking."

He had heard Mrs. Doherty had a bad temper, and it was better not to provoke her.

Unexpectedly, Mathilda smiled. She ignored him and went straight into the hall.

The reporters were puzzled, but they were glad that Mathilda did not get angry. They followed her in and put the live broadcast equipment in place.
