“Is Ms. Adam a local?” One of William’s friends was the first to speak, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Maggie.

Maggic responded with a smile, not pretending to be someone she isn’t.

In no time, she became acquainted with several people, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

The singing and dancing on the stage were particularly exhilarating. William poured another glass of wine for Maggie with a smile. “Ms. Adam. did yo

come here just to make friends?”

Maggie smiled as she looked at the man in front of her.

To be fair, William was attractive, though not as refined and elegant as Nathael. Nonetheless, he had a charm of his own, not to be dismissed.

What set him apart was that William had a pair of tired eyes, probably due to his indulgence in wine and women. There were two patches of greenish–gray under his eyes, making him seem drained from the inside out, floating and powerless, as if he was missing something.

“As expected. I can’t hide anything from you. Besides wanting to befriend you, I’m also here for the Herschire Cultural Park project.*

Maggie got straight to the point. After another glass of wine, her stomach was burning, and the hot sensation almost instantly rushed to her cheeks, making her fair skin slightly flushed.

William suddenly clapped his hands, his large hand resting on Maggie’s shoulder. “I appreciate your straightforwardness!”

Maggie smiled and said, “I know many people are competing for the Herschire Cultural Park project, but I believe that as long as you speak up, the Camerons will surely win.”

William nodded and poured another glass for Maggie. “I raise my glass to Ms. Adam.”

He didn’t continue the conversation, and Maggie wasn’t in a hurry either.

After all, even though William might not have a formidable strategy or means, he was born into a wealthy family. They weren’t foolish. On the contrary, they were smarter and more astute than ordinary people.

Maggie slowly drank her glass of wine, and the men and women around her immediately applauded.
