The cheers and laughter lasted for a long time in the room. Over the years, Walter had never accepted any punishment involving physic contact with women. No matter how his friends egged him on, he always chose to drink wine without hesitation. Only this time he made Calton and Gavin naturally wouldn't miss such a good chance to laugh at Walter. In the darkness, Fiona sat motionlessly in her chair and trembled uncontrollably with fury and upset. She never expected that Walter would really kiss Shakira. The scene that Walter approached Shakira and pressed his lips on hers forcefully yet gently was deeply ingrained in Fiona's mind. She felt her heart was bleeding painfully. Similarly, Berry grasped the tablecloth with her head downcast, her eyes burning with jealousy. After a while, Brian knocked on the door and came in, whispering a few words to Walter. Before long. Kyle's subordinate also entered and reported something to him. The other people quieted down, not daring to mess around anymore.. The White family had informants worldwide and always got first hand information quickly. Also, in Crescentville, no matters could escape the Lopez family's nose.

Now the subordinates of Walter and Kyle came at the same time, so something must have happened. Gavin was smart and reacted quickly. He asked. 'Got the information about National Seniors?"

Walter nodded and exchanged a look with Kyle. With no outsiders in the room, Kyle directly shared the news he just got. "Reliable sources say the Seniors will reach Crescentville at 0:00a.m. tonight. They have officials escort them." "So abrupt?" Calton clicked his tongue and jeered. "Humph, only they have such a genius for hiding themselves from

everyone.

A man whose family was doing business with the Jennings family laughed and echoed, "They're big shots, so it's understandable that they don't wanna get tangled up with us the ordinary who lack a clear knowledge of themselves."

His friend said following him. "Exactly, what can our small companies achieve? We're different from Mr. Lopez, Mr. White. Mr. Jennings and Mr. Clifton. Even one of their projects can boost Crescentville's development, let along the huge profits they can make. Though the Seniors did have some achievements, they are all commoners and know clearly only by cooperating with the right people can they am****great fortune for themselves and their descendants.

others laughed along. Though some of them didn't say a word, their excitement was evident in their faces. They also knew once they could be in partnership with these powerful men present, they would earn the ticket to great success. Aside, with the lingering aroma in her mouth, Shakira had been sipping her water. Listening to their bold comments, she just raised an eyebrow and remained silent. Walter calmly interrupted their lively discussion, saying, "It's getting late. Let's call it a night."

Now that Walter had said so, nobody would say no. But it was still early, so most of them planned to find another place to continue the fun. Shakira got up and pushed Walter's wheelchair toward the door

Though Calton seemed easy-going, he was never the kind whoever could mess with. He wouldn't target a person reason, but everyone could tell he was targeting Berry during the game.
