A Proud Felicia
It was 7.00PM at Maple Wood Tower, a relatively exclusive clubhouse located in the South Suburb of
Eastcliff.
Seeing that the ambiance of the clubhouse was lovely and quiet, many higher-ups would choose to
discuss matters over dinner here in Maple Wood Tower.
The owner of Maple Wood Tower was Desmond Whittemore, a well-known hotel tycoon in Eastcliff.
Desmond’s status was prestigious in Eastcliff, and his personal assets ranked among the top ten in
Eastcliff. Although he did not come from a famous family, he could also be considered a true prominent
figure there.
But now, the flabby-looking Desmond was standing in the courtyard with a group of servers. They looked
as if they were waiting for someone with great respect.
Suddenly, an ingoing Mercedes-Benz Maybach was spotted, followed by several other luxury cars.
It was the Cunningham Family’s motorcade fleet.
Shortly after, several people were seen getting off the Maybach, including Eric and Jason.
Apart from Eric and Jason, there was also a middle-aged woman. She was bedazzled in pieces of
jewelry. With the help of Eric, she got out of the car with a haughty attitude.
This woman was none other than Felicia, Eric’s eldest daughter and the eldest sister of James and
Jason.
Several members of the Cunningham Family were a little shocked when they saw such indignation.
“Wait a second. Isn’t that Desmond Whittemore? What’s he doing here?”
“Who is he waiting for, standing there personally?”
“Oh, my gosh! It really is Desmond Whittemore! Is there such a prominent figure in Eastcliff who is
noteworthy enough for Desmond to come over and greet them personally? Could it be that someone
from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff will be here tonight?”
After that, the members of the Cunningham Family started whispering and discussing this topic nonstop
among themselves. Even someone as prideful as Eric also looked at Desmond with great respect.
Someone as prestigious as Desmond was completely unmatched by the Cunningham Family.
At this moment, Felicia chuckled lightly. “Dad, you guys wait here for a second. I’m going to greet my
friend first!” After that, she directly made her way toward Desmond.
In unison, all members of the Cunningham Family gasped in shock at the sight of this. Felicia knows
Desmond!? Holy moly! Has her circle of acquaintances expanded this much?
As a matter of fact, Felicia was indeed exchanging a few words with Desmond.
Judging from this, it was obvious that both Felicia and Desmond truly knew each other despite not an
ounce of smile spotted on Desmond’s face.
Realizing this fact, all members of the Cunningham Family felt even more exhilarated!
Jason whispered, “Dad, it looks like Felicia’s been doing gradually well within these few years! I’d never
expected that she actually knew one of the top ten richest men in Eastcliff, Desmond Whittemore!”
With a complacent look on his face, Eric said, “I’ve mentioned it long ago that Felicia would definitely be
the most promising child out of you three. Her success today is all credited to her effort. An unfilial son
such as James is no way near to be her rival!”
At once, Charlie gritted his teeth and replied, “You’re absolutely right, Grandpa! Tonight, we’ll teach them
a lesson they’ll never forget. I want that son of a b*tch, Matthew, to kneel on the ground, admit his
mistakes, and kowtow to us!”
The mere mention of Matthew’s name instantly sent a resentful look across the faces of the members of
the Cunningham Family. They hated Matthew to their guts!
After greeting and exchanging a few words with Desmond, Felicia walked over to her family. Charlie
immediately came over to Felicia and asked, “Aunt Felicia, are you associated with Desmond?”
Felicia answered indifferently, “Considered so… We’ve met twice.”
With an exciting look, Charlie exclaimed, “For real!? Oh, my! Aunt Felicia, these are all some big shots!”
However, Felicia simply smiled. “These? Nah, these are all nothing! Truthfully, we’ll have another guest
joining us tonight. That person is the real deal!”
Members of the Cunningham Family immediately perked their ears. Even Eric could not help but ask,
“Felicia, you’ve invited a guest? Who is it? Which prominent figure is it?”
Upon hearing that, Felicia smiled and said, “Dad, I mentioned to you before that my return to Eastcliff this
time is mainly because of my daughter’s engagement. So, I invited my in-law over to join us tonight. I’m
sure all of you must have heard about him. His status in Eastcliff is no less than Desmond’s!”
This gave everyone a shock! Eric then asked excitedly, “Really? W-Who is it?”
With a faint smile, Felicia slowly stated a name. “Zion Fowler!”
