A Prominent Figure Is Due to Arrive
All members of the Cunningham Family instantly seethed with excitement at the mention of Zion’s name!
He really was a prominent figure!
Even though there were not many differences between Zion and Desmond’s personal assets, Desmond
was still absolutely no match for Zion.
After all, Zion came from a famous family. The Fowlers were once a member of the Ten Greatest
Families of Eastcliff.
As for Desmond, he was alone. In terms of capabilities, he was far inferior to Zion.
To their surprise, both Felicia and Zion actually became in-laws. This is such wonderful news for the
Cunningham Family!
Eric nodded excitedly. “Felicia, you didn’t disappoint me indeed! I never expected that one of the
descendants of the Cunningham Family could become in-laws with the Fowlers! This is really great! With
the support from the Fowlers, the Cunningham Family will no longer remain a low-status family. Felicia,
you’ve truly brought honor to our family!”
Acknowledging Eric’s words, everyone else also nodded excitedly.
Similarly, Felicia was also rather proud of the fact that she got to be in-laws with the Fowlers. She smiled
while waving her hands. “Nah… These are all trivial matters. Alright, Dad. Let’s head inside first.”
Eric nodded. Before heading inside, he glanced at Desmond again and suddenly asked, “Felicia, why is
Desmond standing here?”
At once, the members of the Cunningham Family looked over excitedly.
Felicia replied, “While exchanging a few words with him a moment ago, I heard Desmond mention that
there would be a prominent figure coming over tonight.”
Sunned, the members of the Cunningham Family started exclaiming, “Which prominent figure? Which
person is significant enough for Desmond to come over and greet them personally?”
However, Felicia merely shrugged her shoulders. She, too, could not get an answer from Desmond. In
fact, she was more curious than anyone else present!
Despite their curiosity, they did not stay long on the spot. The servers had come over to invite them to
head inside. It was as if the servers were hinting at them not to stay there to be nuisances since the said
prominent figure would be arriving soon.
Shortly after the Cunningham Family went inside a private room, an ingoing Porsche Panamera slowly
entered the courtyard of Maple Wood Tower.
As soon as the car came into sight, the reverent look on Desmond’s face became more and more
obvious.
Then, he trotted all the way to the car and opened the door personally. He bent over and greeted, “Mr.
Larson, Miss Cunningham, welcome.”
In the car sat Matthew, Sasha, and of course, Natalie! Not to forget about Tiger as well—he was the
driver!
Sasha had met Desmond once long ago, so she knew he was one of the richest men in Eastcliff.
Seeing Desmond being so courteous, Sasha could not help but feel surprised. “President Whittemore, w-
what’s all these?”
At once, Desmond smiled and explained, “Miss Cunningham, I heard that you and Mr. Larson would be
coming over for dinner tonight, so I’m here to ensure that everything is properly arranged. Let me know if
there’s anything you find lacking in our hospitality. I’ll have it arranged for you.”
Upon hearing that, Sasha felt even more astonished. Why would a rich man such as Desmond treat us in
great respect?
Only Matthew and Tiger knew the real reason behind Desmond’s courteous manner.
Desmond owned a five-star hotel in the city, and that hotel was located in Renaissance Mall. It was his
most profitable business ever. Now that Matthew had taken over the operation of Renaissance Mall, that
would also mean he was Desmond’s current landlord.
After all, Desmond was merely a businessman. How would he dare to go against Matthew, considering
the fact that Matthew could even grasp the monetary worth of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff in the
palm of his hand?
For the past two days, Desmond had been seeking an opportunity to pay Matthew a visit. However, it
was more difficult than he thought. Not once was he able to meet with Tiger, let alone visit Matthew.
Today, when Desmond discovered that Matthew would be coming over to Maple Wood Tower for dinner,
he nearly became euphoric. He had all his plans rescheduled and came over first thing in the morning.
Seeing this was the very moment that he had been waiting for, Desmond was thrilled to greet Matthew
after one whole day of keeping himself busy with work at Maple Wood Tower.
“President Whittemore, thanks for your care!” Matthew said with a vague smile.
Upon hearing Matthew’s praise, Desmond simply felt his whole body was at ease. Then, he immediately
said, “Oh, please don’t say that, Mr. Larson. Both your gracious presences have added glitters to my
humble clubhouse! Providing tiptop hospitality is the least that I can do!”
Right after he finished speaking, Desmond immediately turned to the server. “What are you doing still
standing here? Hurry up and park Mr. Larson’s car!” Then, he turned to Matthew and Sasha. “Mr. Larson,
Miss Cunningham, right this way, please!”
