The Richest Man in Metropolis is My Backer by Dream Searcher

Chapter 347

Everyone was trying to win Soren’s favor, maneuvering to get a few words in edgewise.

“Come on, let’s take a stroll! We’ll walk around together!” Soleil suggested. “See, we always have this gathering around this time. It’s hard to get everyone together during Brigidlia, you know? Everyone’s always off spending it somewhere else, all around the world.”

And I? I was the unwanted daughter of the Jones family. I had even less chance of being invited.

Jean Valentine, however, was different. A true elite, she had attended these parties before.

I wondered if she was here.

I scanned the room.

Soleil thought I was shaking my head. “Oh, come on. Ren can’t keep you company right now. He’s stuck with those guys! But… he’ll look for you later.”
