Chapter 757

If this had been an hour earlier, Mrs. Wright probably would have wanted more people to come and make sure everyone knew about Cody's release. However, things were different now.

She wasn't answering any calls or messages. Brayden, being a bit younger, was able to answer some calls and then informed his mother, "Mom, several families have called, saying they want to attend and postponed other matters to make it. I turned them down."

Brayden wasn't naive; he knew these people wanted to come because of the many bigwigs present at the event.

Initially, he thought that no one would come to the Wright family's Banquet, but now that he knew so many were coming, he could see why others wanted to join as well.

He might have underestimated the turnout, but the Wright family wasn't in such dire straits.

They had invested in various businesses, and they could still maintain the image they needed to. With Franklin and Sylvia's extensive network, and the high-profile guests they had invited, Brayden was genuinely grateful.

Mrs. Wright took a sip of her tea and raised an eyebrow.

She had been part of high society for many years, and she had a tinge of mockery in her eyes as she said, "They want to come now when there's no room for them? They ignored us before, and now they think they can climb up. You couldn't care less about us earlier, now you can't afford it."

Mrs. Wright finished and then glanced at the president's assistant who was nearby, talking to Cody. She wondered what his true intentions were.

“The higher you hold your head, the more they'll take notice. If they call and we accept, they will think the Wright family is easy to mess with." Mrs. Wright pursed her lips and then served Sylvia a dish. "Sylvia, thanks to you and Franklin, you've saved my face."

She genuinely felt thankful, "When did you get to know so many people? You have so many hidden sides.”

Sylvia's dark almond eyes gleamed slightly, "I knew them before.”

She didn't elaborate much, as the acquaintance of some people was purely coincidental.

It was Franklin who set down his tea cup and looked at Sylvia meaningfully, “There are even more people here than I expected. How many sides of you do I not know?"

Sylvia glanced at the familiar faces in the room and blinked. "I just happen to have a few friends from Urgford. Is that so surprising?" Seeing so many guests, she was genuinely pleased, feeling that as long as she encountered any troubles, these people would reach out to help. She made sure to remember all the guests who came.
