Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 777: Toast

Despite the real nature of the Pierson family meeting, everyone managed to maintain a light mood. Taking their respective seats, the lively chatter harmonized with the live music while smiles remained on their faces.

"Uncle William, I heard about your deal with the LML Jewels," one of the men at the table mused. "Congratulations. I'm sure this venture will be a success for both the company and the family."

"Uncle William, congratulations on this!"

"The expected income percentage this year will be double than what it was last year..."

One after another, those near William's seat couldn't help but praise him, adding their compliments. William chuckled, listening to all the congratulatory remarks thrown in his way. Since only William was at the table — Zoren and Dean weren't even there — many at the table were trying to curry favor with him.

"Heh," William smirked, clearing his throat loudly. "LML Jewels is all well and good, but it's a piece of cake to do business with them. Though I can't take all the credit."

He slowly turned to his left, reaching out to hold Karina's hand. "I have to recognize my daughter's effort in all of this."

Karina smiled at her father. "No, Dad. It's all thanks to you that I was able to do this," she said, facing everyone gracefully. "But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter who did what. We all have the company and the family's best interests at heart. So, one person's achievement is everyone's achievement."
