?Chapter 656:


    Elena couldn’t help but admit Wesley’s sharp insight.


    Wesley added confidently, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow night.”


    Looking down at the invitation she held, Elena responded smoothly, “Alright.”


    It was midnight at a secluded estate.


    This estate, defined by its understated elegance,y hidden within a private area. Its extensive grounds boasted a golf course, a vineyard, and stables for horses.


    Stepping onto the property was like entering another realm. Inside, a majestic chandelier adorned with hundreds of diamonds cast a brilliant light over the banquet hall.


    The hall was filled with usually reserved business tycoons now animatedly mingling. Several public figures, familiar from television, were also in attendance.


    A sleek ck Maybach glided to the front.


    The car door swung open, and Wesley emerged, dressed in a tailored ck suit. He stood beside the door, reaching his hand inside.


    A graceful, delicate hand met his.


    Elena, dressed in an elegant ck dress, emerged to stand by Wesley, their presence evoking the aura of a blockbuster film’s premiere couple. One radiated charm and poise, the other sophistication and dignity.


    Together, they approached the entrance, presenting their invitation to security.


    The guards took extra moments to admire them, struck by their distinguished looks. Their remarkable appearance made them impossible to ignore.


    The guard gave a small bow. “Please,e in.”


    As Wesley and Elena entered, they instantly became the subject of murmurs and discreet nces.


    The banquet attracted business tycoons along with their families, who used such gatherings to forge and reinforce strategic alliances. Among the attendees were numerous young women, all navigating the intricate socialndscape.


    Among them, Ste Russell stood out as particrly notable, being Mayor Liam Russell’s daughter.


    Ste’s eyes brightened as soon as she saw Wesley, but her expression quickly shifted to one of sadness when she noticed he was apanied by a femalepanion.

    Ste had developed a crush on Wesley during a recent international forum. She had researched him thoroughly and discovered he was single with no significant women in his life.


    To ensure a meeting at this event, Ste had her father invite the Spencer Group specifically for Wesley. She was taken aback to see him arrive with a woman, their hands intertwined.


    Ste’s mood turned fierce immediately. She nced disdainfully at the city treasurer’s daughter who was chatting with her, and snapped, “You’re being quite annoying!”


    The young woman, abruptly silenced, stood there embarrassed, her cheeks reddening.


    Without another word, Ste approached Wesley directly. Offering her hand, she introduced herself with poise. “Hello, Mr. Spencer. I’m Ste Russell. It’s delightful to see you here. I too was at thest international forum. Your perspectives were enlightening, and I found myself in agreement with you. Surely you recall me.”


    Ste assumed Wesley would undoubtedly remember her. As the only female speaker at that forum, she had made a memorable impression. She felt their shared viewpoints would naturally attract him to her, just as she had been drawn to him. He must have registered her presence at the forum.
