My Supermodel Wife (For Sale!)

Leonard went through the crowd. He took a glass of champagne and immediately came towards Lockhart.

At this time, someone passed by and accidentally hit Lockhart with his elbow.

Lockhart frowned in pain, and when he turned around he saw a servant bowing his head in fear and apologizing. "Sorry, Mister."

Lockhart pursed his lips in displeasure, but he waved his hand because there was still a guest in front of him. "Be careful next!"

The attention of several people was distracted by the servant's actions. After the other party left, they retracted their gazes only to find that Leonard had been standing behind Lockhart.

"Young master Leonard!" 

Lockhart looked to the side when he heard the voice. As soon as he met Leonard's deep and distant gaze, his heart jumped slightly. "Why are you here?"

Leonard raised his glass. "Of course I'm here to congratulate you, uncle."

"Congratulating your uncle, huh?" Lockhart was confused for a while, but didn't think about it. He glanced at the champagne glass in Leonard's hand. Then with one hand behind his back, he said with a smile, "We're family, why are you so polite to me? But it's rare that you'll want to partake in a banquet like this, so enjoy it while you can. If Frans comes later, I can introduce you to him first. But whether or not you can befriend him, it all depends on you!"

Leonard lowered his head, and as he glanced up, he saw Lockhart's implied triumphant expression, and slightly raised the corners of his lips. "Thank you."

"No problem!" After speaking, Lockhart turned and looked back. He didn't mean to pay attention to him anymore.

Leonard must have heard of Frans' famous name, and wanted to build a good relationship with that man through him.

Oh, what a naive thought!

At this moment, Leonard looked at Lockhart deeply, then turned and walked away.

The guests who stood in front of Lockhart saw him running, and murmured in a rather gossiping tone. "Sir, young master Leonard has become the center of attention lately!"

"Center of attention?" Lockhart repeated disdainfully. "What kind of spotlight does he have?"

"Who in the whole of Bandung doesn't know the young masters of the Widjaya and Slyvester families? I even heard that the yacht giant has reached a partnership with him. Mr. Lockhart, no matter what your nephew's abilities are, the cooperation brought by these two groups is enough to make him happy and be the center of attention."

Lockhart listened to this explanation in silence. With a serious tone, he took a sip of champagne and looked very displeased. "Then what? Isn't Frans' identity comparable to theirs?"

Hearing this, the other party laughed and said nothing.

No matter how great Frans was, he was only the leader of the jade industry.

As for the emergence of these two groups, they can play a role in boosting the economy of Bandung!

It's totally incomparable!

However, since the second master of the Adler family praised Frans so much, they had to pay close attention to how powerful this late person was.

...

About ten minutes later, there was a commotion outside the door of the Flower Hall.

Nobody knew who shouted. "That's Frans Ruihan!" 

In an instant, the guests in the entire hall rushed towards the entrance.

In the banquet that was prepared for him, the main character finally appeared.

As everyone rushed to look around, a line of luxurious convoys slowly stopped in front of the path outside the door.

The way he appeared made the people gathered around him sigh with emotion.

The first person out of the car door was a man dressed in all black.

He respectfully walked to the long luxury car in the middle, and as he opened the back seat's door, a man of about thirty five years old leaned over.

Several people at the scene whispered in surprise. They didn't expect Frans to be so young!

The man who got out of the car first buttoned his coat gracefully.

He stopped where he was, then looked towards the Hall of Flowers while nodding.

At this moment, the sky was getting darker, and the lights around him lit up his face. The sparkling slanted eyes, thin lips, and pointed nose could be clearly seen. The combination of these traits is not very handsome, but it is enough to make him unforgettable.

But there's another prominent trait— from the corner of the forehead to the top of the eyebrow on the left, there was a clear scar, which made this Frans guy look even more terrifying.

Frans looked up at the crowd, and his icy brows were filled with a sense of distance that a stranger could not approach carelessly.

The man in black at his side was observing the surroundings warily, like a guarding dog.

At this moment, Lockhart pushed through the crowd and walked briskly from the hall. Under the night sky, he saw the figure of Frans and approached triumphantly. "Frans, you've finally come!"

As the second master of the Adler family, Lockhart's overenthusiastic attitude clearly showed how important Frans was.

He walked briskly towards him with a very flattering smile.

Frans looked at him coldly, raised his hand, and said lazily, "Master Lockhart, sorry to keep you waiting so long."

"No! Not at all! The banquet has just begun. Come in!"

As they were about to walk into the hall, the bustling place spontaneously gave them a path.

As they stepped into the Flower Hall, more and more guests were watching on both sides of them.

However, as soon as everyone returned to the main hall, the crystal light above their heads flickered twice. Before everyone could react, the light from the entire banquet hall went out and plunged into darkness.

There was a scream.

This sudden situation caused Lockhart to be dumbfounded for two seconds, and then to scream, "What's wrong? Hurry up and check what's going on!"

He didn't know if there was a problem with electricity or something. At this time, even the floor-mounted lights and the light curtains outside the hall were dimmed.

"Ah… don't squeeze my ass!"

"Who stepped on my foot?"

"Master Lockhart, quickly do something!"

The whole scene is a mess!

At this moment, there was a piercing sound effect out of nowhere. After a sharp voice, there was a conversation in the dark banquet hall.

Sounds like a recording.

——Father, what to do with the cargo in our port, there is...

——Don't worry, the cargo is nothing. Before the ship sailed, I had already ordered people to unload the goods.

After a short pause, another recording rang out in the banquet hall.

——Father, does this Frans Ruihan really have that kind of ability?

——Someone like him who 'walks' in the gray area certainly uses the harshest methods. If you want to use him to deal with Leonhart and Leonard, you have to show him some sincerity!

——My son, this man is so strong that we shouldn't offend him if it's not a last resort.

——A person like him will definitely bring a strong confidant when he comes to Bandung. When the time comes, look for opportunities to pull off some tricks in the mines, making him mistake Leonard for trying to get rid of them, thus creating a rift between them. In this way, we can get the advantage of not only making money, but also getting rid of Leonard!

Right now, everyone was shocked when they heard these recordings.

They didn't have to think about whose voice it was!

Lockhart and Luke!

Soon after, while people were busy discussing, another recording sounded through everyone's ears.

——I want you to put all this medicine in Leonard's food! When it's done, I'll give you 50 million as a reward.

——Young Master, this…

——You don't have to worry about anything else, as long as you do as I say, I promise you you will never lack anything in life.
