Chapter 429

"Mr. Fitzgerald, I'm Neil from Futurix Tech. And this must be your fiancée. You're truly a lucky man."

As the wealthiest family in Capitolion, the Fitzgeralds were the center of attention tonight.

Everyone wanted a chance to make themselves known or perhaps establish a connection. After all, the Fitzgerald Group's investment division was legendary-if they invested even a modest sum, it could breathe new life into any struggling project.
