Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76: The Young Masters

Recently, the Clifford family of Manchester formed a notable association with one of Birmingham’s wealthiest families... the Chen family. The Chens were known throughout the Kingdom for their vast influence in the media industry and their widespread involvement in various import businesses. Although they had immigrated from China a few generations ago, they had established a firm and influential foothold in the Kingdom.

The Clifford family had invested in several new ventures in partnership with the Chens. Many in the Manchester business circle believed the Cliffords were on the verge of ascending to new heights. The alliance between the two families was largely due to the growing friendship between Benjamin Chen, the CEO of Chen IT, and James Clifford, the fourth son of the Clifford family. They had initially become acquainted through a mutual friend, but after Benjamin relocated to Manchester to directly manage Chen IT’s operations, their friendship deepened. James had been instrumental in helping Benjamin gain entry into Manchester’s elite youth business circle. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Previously, James had lived in the shadow of the first son, Jacob Clifford, who had been managing the family business for years and was widely expected to succeed their father, Jonathan Clifford. However, in recent times, the family patriarch, Nicholas Clifford, had begun favouring James... largely because of the advantages that came from his connection with the Chen family. Many members of the Clifford family now believed James might ultimately become the successor, thanks to the old man’s backing.

As the CEO of Chen IT, Benjamin Chen naturally received an invitation to the prestigious GMITCC annual banquet. James accompanied him to meet prominent business leaders and forge new connections. They were casually chatting with a group of second-generation elites in a quiet corner of the venue when Eleanor entered the banquet hall with Edward Miller.

The atmosphere shifted instantly. As one of the most breathtakingly beautiful women they had ever seen walked into the room, the group’s casual conversation quickly devolved into stunned silence... followed by a flurry of hormone-fuelled commentary.

"Wow! She is hot!" one of the young men, who happened to be facing the entrance, blurted out.

"Where?" another asked, craning his neck. Without waiting for an answer, he followed the first man’s gaze.

"Damn! I’ve never seen a woman like that before..." he whispered, almost reverently.

"Mr. Chen, you should take a look," another said quickly, hoping to curry favour with Benjamin.

In moments, all eyes in the group turned to the entrance.

"Beautiful!"

"Fuck!"

"I’m willing to drop a million for just one night with her."

"Holy shit! Where did she come from? She’s definitely not from around here. Otherwise, I would’ve noticed her."

"This kind of beauty is out of your league," someone joked. "Among all of us, only Young Master Chen has the skills to get her into bed."

Benjamin remained composed, although he had indeed already imagined a few explicit scenes in his head. Unlike the others, however, he was careful. He mentally noted her appearance and planned to investigate her identity later. He had no intention of getting into trouble over a woman, no matter how beautiful she was.

Among the group, such discussions were common. They were all habitual womanizers... something they were well aware of, and had even been known to exchange women among themselves like commodities.

"Why is she walking beside Old Man Edward?" one of them asked, squinting toward the entrance.

"She could be his daughter or maybe a secretary."

"No way," another said confidently. "I know every member of the Miller family. I even went to a family function a few weeks ago. She wasn’t there. Also, all of Chairman Miller’s secretaries are men. He doesn’t like having women around him at work."

"Then maybe she’s his new girlfriend or..." someone paused dramatically, "his concubine?"

"Don’t talk like that. Everyone knows Edward Miller is a family man. He’s never had a scandal."
