Zachary, one of the spectators, was also utterly shocked.
Stephanie... was she really the daughter-in-law of Verdant Grove Capital?
Had he really lost such a powerful connection?
He felt like slapping himself hard!
It was over. How had he managed to offend her?
Seeing Stephanie leave, Serena quietly followed her.
She wanted to ask if everyone's speculation was true.
Downstairs from Sapphire Group, Serena saw Stephanie stop and was about to call out to her.
But just as she uttered the first syllable, she saw a handsome man appear in her line of sight.
The man was leaning against a Rolls-Royce Cullinan behind him, his tall frame clad in a black suit. The sunlight enveloped him, tracing the edges of his hair with a golden halo.
He looked to be at least six-foot-one, and even from more than ten meters away, Serena could feel the powerful, overwhelming aura emanating from him.
Serena recognized the car. It was a global limited edition, with only three in existence.
She had gossiped with her friends about it before. The only person in the country who drove this car... was the sole legal heir to Ironhold Investment Group—Jonathan.
He was at the absolute top of the pyramid. Rumor had it his assets were countless, spanning every industry imaginable. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the crown prince of all Veridian.
So, was she seeing Jonathan himself, in the flesh?
Her heart pounded with excitement. This trip downstairs was totally worth it.
Then, to Serena's utter astonishment, Jonathan walked to the passenger side, bent down, and personally opened the car door for Stephanie.
What was going on?
Serena's jaw dropped so wide you could fit an egg in it.
Didn't everyone say Stephanie was Quennel's fiancée?
But why was she getting into Jonathan's car?
What was their relationship?
