Chapter 449 - Grand Arrival
The large group of people who came in greeted Justin one after another.
"Mr. Heron, I'm late today. I'll punish myself by toasting you thrice in apology!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Heron!"
"Haha, Mr. Heron, we came together, so we're a little late. Please don't take offense! Congratulations!"
...
All smiles, Justin couldn't care less about being upset with Cheyenne and had long walked over to greet and chat with these people.
Justin was totally acting like the host, and those who didn't know might think that Justin's son was the one getting married today!
But Alex wasn't jealous at all and was instead elated.
Just now, these members of prestigious families had already said that they were attending the wedding all because of Justin's invitation. As long as they were present at his son's wedding, it would be giving him immense glory. As for who entertained them, it didn't matter to Alex at all. Instead, Alex had to thank Justin for it.
"Justin, you're really impressive! All thanks to you, so many noble and distinguished guests are here to attend Dylan's wedding!" Alex said to Justin with utmost gratitude after the distinguished guests were seated.
Justin was proud of himself, but he pretended to be modest by saying, "Not at all. It's just a trivial matter! If I had asked them in advance, those currently away on a business trip would have been able to attend the wedding too. There would be many more guests here now."
He was stating a fact. It was indeed a last-minute decision of his to come and attend the wedding. If not for his father telling him that a big shot would be turning up at Dylan's wedding today and asking him to hurry over to form some good relations with the Turners in order to befriend said big shot, Justin wouldn't even be here today, let alone invite his friends and business partners along.
One of the reasons that Justin had invited so many of them was to show off his capabilities and great network of connections to the big shot.
Moreover, the companions he brought along with him would definitely stand on his side and praise him endlessly on his strengths. He reckoned that when the time came, the mysterious big shot would definitely be impressed by him!
"Justin, you're really something. We definitely couldn't have invited so many distinguished guests without your help. You've arranged everything in such a short period of time. That's really impressive! I can't even imagine how grand Nikki's wedding will be!" Carrie praised, full of admiration and envy, which was to the pleasure of Justin.
Gretchen also came over and said conceitedly, "That goes without saying. My husband is just so powerful. As long as we're in LA, even those top families will do my husband a favor, let alone the less powerful ones!"
Eddie said with a heartened expression, "Justin is undoubtedly the best son-in-law of our family. You've brought us so much glory as soon as you arrived! Hahaha!"
"Hahaha, you are too polite. Since we're all a family, it's only right for me to do so!" Justin said smilingly.
Gretchen took the time to glance at Cheyenne and Karen with a triumphant and provocative expression.
Looking at the Turners surrounding Justin and praising him incessantly, Cheyenne indeed felt a little bitter.
Justin had merely hypocritically asked a bunch of people to attend the wedding together with him, and yet Eddie and the rest were so grateful that they were putting him on a pedestal.
On the other hand, Lucas had specially prepared so many valuable gifts for them, only to be chased out and subjected to their humiliation and insults.
She thought they were going overboard!
Cheyenne felt extremely aggrieved for Lucas.
She bit her lip and looked at Lucas apologetically, only to meet his gaze immediately. "Hubby, I'm so sorry for making you suffer…"
Before Cheyenne could finish, Lucas held onto her hand and said tenderly, "You don't need to apologize to me on their behalf. You're different from them. I only care about you and Amelia, and it's none of my business what other people think."
Lucas truly meant this from the bottom of his heart. If they hadn't insulted Cheyenne just now, he wouldn't have taken the words of nobodies like them seriously.
But he wouldn't just let it go since they had made Cheyenne upset by doing so.
Cheyenne raised her head again and saw the gentle gaze in his eyes that were full of love. She instantly got butterflies in her stomach, and her heart was beating so hard that it seemed to be on the verge of jumping out. She even blushed coyly.
Charlotte watched their loving interaction from the side and couldn't help smiling enviously. It's really wonderful that Cheyenne can have such a good husband who sincerely loves her and treats her well!
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the ballroom. Another middle-aged man in his forties appeared at the door.
Confusion was written all over Alex's face as he wondered, Is this man here to attend Dylan's wedding? But he seems to be a fresh face. He's not a relative of ours, and I don't know him at all!
"Hello, how may I address you?" Alex walked forward and asked even though he didn't know the man.
Justin inadvertently glanced toward the door and immediately opened his mouth wide in astonishment.
If he wasn't mistaken, the middle-aged man standing at the door was Flynn Davis, the general manager of the Solar Corporation, who had recently risen to fame in LA!
The Solar Corporation could be considered the largest enterprise in LA, and purely in terms of the total amount of assets and business scope, even the two giants, the Parker and the Owen families, couldn't compare to it at all.
As the general manager of the Solar Corporation, Flynn was definitely a bigwig. Moreover, he wasn't very fond of attending banquets and social gatherings, so it had been extremely difficult for many helmsmen of the major families in LA to invite him out for a meeting and a meal.
Yet this bigwig, who rarely showed up at social functions, suddenly appeared at the Turners' wedding.
Justin immediately remembered his father's reminder, and he wondered, Is this the big shot I'm supposed to build connections with today?
He didn't dare to be negligent at all and immediately strode toward the entrance. He bowed to Flynn respectfully and greeted, "Mr. Davis, I didn't expect you to show up here too. Please forgive me for waiting until now to welcome you."
At the same time, he quickly pulled Alex, who was still dumbfounded, over and bent forward to whisper into his ear, "What are you waiting for? This is Mr. Davis, the general manager of the Solar Corporation. Hurry up and greet him."
Alex was instantly astonished!
As a resident of LA, he had naturally heard of the Solar Corporation, especially after Flynn took over and quickly incorporated all of the various companies into the corporation, making the Solar Corporation one of the largest companies in LA. Almost every single day, he would see Flynn Davis's name being mentioned on the finance channel of LA.
But he had never expected that such a big shot would suddenly turn up at his son's wedding. It was simply a surprise beyond his imagination!
Alex was so excited and exhilarated that he was at a complete loss for words. He hurriedly bowed respectfully and exclaimed agitatedly, "Mr. Davis! Welcome!"
Flynn frowned and looked at the two people in front of him blocking the way. "Who are you?"
Justin hurriedly introduced himself, "Hello, Mr. Davis. I am Justin Heron, the general manager of the Heron Corp. It's such a great honor to meet you!"
Alex quickly said, "I-I'm Alex Turner, the father of the groom today. Mr. Davis, we are truly honored by your presence at my son's, Dylan's, wedding. Please come in quickly!"
Both of them were really excited, and the other guests who recognized Flynn were also extremely surprised.. But Flynn's reaction was beyond their expectations. Flynn said coldly, "Who said I'm here to attend the wedding? Get lost!"
