Chapter 55: Chapter 55

Chapter 55

Leonard stayed at Flora’s house for a while and then left.

Judy stayed with Kenia.

To be honest, Leonard was disappointed with his younger cousin.

She, like his uncle, was too snobbish.

Shortly after leaving his aunt’s house, he received a call from Waylon.

It was said that the raw gemstone had been shipped back to his museum, and he was going to have its contents analyzed to see how many jewels there were in it.

Leonard naturally had no objection and let Waylon do it his way.

“By the way, Mr. Lambert, I heard that there has been à celebrity dinner recently, and I want to bring some relatives to attend.”

Hearing this, Waylon laughed loudly and said, “This banquet is to gather celebrities of Newden City and try to sell the jewels.”

He expressed his thoughts.

That night, the rough gemstone was cut open.

Waylon called and said there were nearly 120 pounds of the green diamond in total, worth 1.2 billion dollars.

In accordance with their initial agreement to split profits in a 70/30 ratio, Leonard was entitled to receive 360 million dollars.

It meant Leonard didn’t pay any money this time but got a huge sum of 360 million dollars.

Waylon was even happier. He only spent 30 million, which turned into 840 million in the end.

Such a profit was something he had never imagined before.

At the same time, he admired Leonard even more.

Five days later, Leonard and his aunt’s family arrived at Clouds Hotel, where the celebrity dinner was held.

After showing the invitation, they walked in..

Today his uncle was wearing a suit. Although he was old, he was still quite handsome.

Flora wore a top tube dress, and Kenia was even more beautifully dressed next to her.

No matter what Kenia’s character was, she had indeed inherited her mom’s excellent genes as she possessed superior physical attractiveness.

Otherwise, Wilder would not have tried his best to get her.

Well-known figures from the upper circles of Newden City, both men and women, who were all glamorous and elegant, gathered in the banquet hall.

But Leonard didn’t take such a banquet seriously, and he only wore casual clothes, which attracted many people’s attention after he got in.

At such a banquet where celebrities gather, appearing in casual clothes could be regarded as eye-

catching.

“Leonard, try not to walk with me. Otherwise, people will think you are my boyfriend, and the rich men may give up getting acquainted with me.”

After hesitating for a while, Kenia exhorted Leonard.

Leonard was a little speechless, his younger cousin was focused on getting into the upper-class circle, and it seemed Wilder’s incident hadn’t enlightened her.

“Kenia, Leonard, you are here.”

At this time, a voice of surprise sounded.

Wearing a long black dress, Judy walked over with a smile.

“Judy, why are you here?”

Kenia was a little surprised when she saw her.

Chapter 55

Because of Judy’s family background, she was not qualified to attend such a banquet.

“Last year, my dad took over some projects from Mr. Lambert. The manager who works for Mr. Lambert invited my dad personally, so I came to the banquet as his family member.”

She said excitedly.

Behind her was a tall, middle-aged man who was talking with Willic. It was Judy’s father, Yule Patel.

Because of the relationship between Judy and Kenia, the parents of both sides were relatively close.

“Dad, let me introduce him to you. This is Leonard, Kenia’s cousin. He is

very skilled.”

Yule looked Leonard up and down several times, but his brows slightly frowned. “It’s not proper to attend such a dinner party without wearing a more formal dress.” After finishing speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked forward quickly.

“Mr. Wright, you are here.”

As soon as a bald, middle-aged man appeared in front of him, Yule greeted him.

It made Judy feel a little embarrassed.

“Don’t mind. Leonard, my dad didn’t mean to embarrass you.”

Judy immediately explained.

“No problem.”

He smiled.

He really didn’t care.

For Leonard, Yule was just a passerby.

“Judy, you came early. Did you find the handsome bucks born in purple?”

Kenia pulled Judy and asked her in a low voice.

“Yeah, I saw some.”

Judy was also in high spirits instantly.

Leonard shook his head, deeply feeling nothing could correct Kenia’s thoughts anymore.

He came to the bathroom door and then lit a cigarette alone.

Such a banquet was not very attractive to him.

However, he was really looking forward to the final link when the jewel was auctioned.

After all, part of the money would flow into his pocket.

One billion and two hundred million dollars was just a conservative estimate, and it may be able to sell for 10% more. After all, the green diamond was rare.

On the other side, Kenia, dressed up brightly, quickly attracted the attention of many men in the field.

A man in a blue suit walked over with a wine glass in his hand.

“Hello, I wonder if I’m lucky enough to buy you a drink.”

Seeing a man take the initiative to strike up a conversation, Kenia’s face showed a bit of joy.

It was just that when she saw his face clearly, her face turned cold instantly.

This man was Kylo, the rich second generation who was injured by Leonard three years ago for molesting Emily. She did not expect to meet him here.

After he came over, with a playful look on his face, he directly touched Kenia’s back with his hand.

She was about to dodge when she heard the sound of high heels.

As soon as she turned her head, she was slapped hard on the face.

“Snapped!”

“Bit ch, you dare to seduce my husband.”

It was Emily who beat her.

Kenia covered her face, looked at the menacing Emily and the indifference and sarcasm on her husband’s face, and immediately understood that he had premeditated plans.
