Marrying

Chapter 26 

“Mr. Grant! I can’t believe I might actually get to meet Mr. Grant in person today,” one attendee gushed excitedly. 

“I was so lucky to have secured an invitation to attend,” another chimed in 

The buzz of conversation around Valerie made it impossible not in overhear the excited chatter about this Mr. Grant character. In her mind, Valerie thought in surprise, ‘Mr. Grant Could this be the same Mr. Grant I had to submit that complaint letter before! Come to think of it, if it weren’t for his intervention, I might never have been able to get Dylan to straighten out that order issue so smoothly.” 

Valerie couldn’t help but be curious about the CEO who had helped her, and she wanted to join in the fun and festivities surrounding his arrival. 

As Valerie tried to make her way towards where Mr. Grant had entered, she quickly realized the path was completely blocked by the throngs of guests. She strained to catch a glimpse, but the sea of people made it impossible for her to even see who this CEO was, let alone make out any of his features. 

Just moments ago, everyone was engaged in their own conversations, but with the arrival of the CEO, all eyes 

eyes and attention were drawn to him. making him the undisputed center of attraction at the party. 

The scene where the CEO of Noria Group appeared could easily rival that of a top celebrity. “Such a grand spectacle Valerie murmured to herself, her words just loud enough for a few of Noria Group’s female employees nearby to hear. 

“You don’t know who Mr. Grant is, do you?” 

“He’s more than just the CEO of Noria Group. The Grant family has always been the wealthiest in Kranson City, and Mr. Grant has been recognized as the mout capable business prodigy in Kranson City for fifty years. It’s safe to say that no one in the entire Kranson City would dare to oppose him if he spoke out

“Whether it’s the affluence of the Grant family or Mr. Grant, a true big shot, they’re simply unmatched by ordinary people. If anyone could marry Mr. Grant, they’d be a clear winner in life” 

After these female employees finished speaking, they glanced at Valerie’s badge and instantly showed disdain. “So, you’re from Arcton Cars, no wonder you’re so clueless” 

They looked at each other, revealed a sneer, and then leisurely walked toward the crowd. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Valerie didn’t mind. She was used to the fact that people from Arcton Cars had been treated poorly by the Norla Group since Arcton Cars was acquired by the Noria Group. In contrast, she found it interesting that the CEO, who was called “Mr. Grant,” was having a hard time. He was such a big character yet he was watched there as if he were a gorilla locked in a zoo. 

Valerie decided not to go along with it. She was pregnant, and if she accidentally bumped into someone, she would be the one to suffer. She then picked up the cupcake and continued to eat it spoonfuls by spoonfuls 

In fact, although there were lots of people at the party, those around Matthew automatically made way for him, so he walked through unimpeded. On one hand, this was due to the audience’s respect for the CEO of Noria Group; on the other hand, it was also because Matthew appeared unapproachable. 

Matthew strode forward without looking around. He came to the meeting to host this important meeting, and he had other plans for later. 

Suddenly, Charles took quick steps to his side. “Mr. Grant, Mrs. Grant appears to be present.” 

Valerie! Why is she here? Matthew paused in his steps, his face frozen. Has she found out my identity and deliberately came to this big occasion, wanting to use the opportunity to reveal my identity to force me to acknowledge her as my wife? She’s quite cunning 

“Mr. Grant has been eating all this time. She doesn’t seem to realize you are here,” said Charles 

Matthew was instantly speechless. Looking over in the direction Charles was pointing, he did see Valerie sitting alone at the small dining table rating the cupcake she was holding with relish and concentration. 

For the first time, Matthew realized that he wasn’t even as important as the cupcakes.
