Chapter 192 Brian, The Son of the Wealthiest Man
Charlotte and Lily walked into the banquet hall.
Charlotte quickly noticed that most people at their table were from the Lawson family.
She realized Bradley was really trying hard!
Nicholas's mom came over to hand out candy and exchanged a few polite words with Charlotte.
Charlotte smiled and gave her a wedding gift.
Nicholas's mom had a mixed expression when she took it. She used to look down on Charlotte, but after Charlotte broke up with Frederick and left high society, she saw her differently.
Even though Nicholas's current marriage was okay, his mom, Whitney, could tell he wasn't happy. Seeing Charlotte tonight made her feel a bit nostalgic.
Charlotte didn't dwell on the past; she just smiled. Then Brian came over and sat next to her, drawing a lot of attention with his good looks.
Half the banquet hall was staring at them.
Elijah had connections with the bride's family, so Katherine's whole family was there too, at the next table.
Seeing Charlotte in the spotlight annoyed Katherine.
Audrey whispered, "He's just a driver. Don't let it get to you!"
Katherine pursed her lips.
She now wanted to outdo Charlotte in everything. She used to be proud of her piano fame, but her limited talent kept her from going mainstream.
She had seen Charlotte play piano and was jealous of her talent!
Luckily, Charlotte would never be a pianist again!
She had thought Charlotte was impressive, but now she saw her as just heartbroken from a failed romance, dating a good-looking driver. That guy's only good feature was his face!
Katherine felt reassured, convinced Frederick would soon tire of Charlotte!
Just then, Frederick returned.
Given his status, he sat at the main table with business moguls from various industries.
Patrick and Charles were there too!
Frederick, well-versed in these circles, was thriving among the older men. He chatted casually while smoking, keeping an eye on Charlotte, who looked great in her dress today!
Patrick noticed his gaze.
Patrick patted Frederick. "Aren't you going to say hello?"
Frederick smiled lightly. "With Mr. Nelson's son keeping her company, there's no room for me!"
Charles, busy socializing, was surprised by the comment. "You mean Brian? Where is Brian?"
Before Frederick could answer, Elijah came over with Katherine to greet them.
Katherine, always eager to please, called out to Patrick.
Patrick didn't like her but responded politely, then turned to chat with Elijah. Seeing Frederick ignore her, Katherine smiled and said, "I saw Charlotte. I wanted to apologize, but she's already moved on and is dating a driver. She even brought him to the wedding!"
'A driver?' Patrick looked over at that table. There was a handsome guy sitting by Charlotte, but he didn't look like a driver at all!
Charles was curious and glanced over, then couldn't stay calm.
The guy sitting among the women was his own son! And he looked happy, not down and out!
Charles's face darkened. "That's my son!"
Katherine's face froze! 'What? He's not a driver but the only son of Charles, a billionaire?'
Patrick chuckled. "So it's Brian!"
Frederick took a slow drag of his cigarette and said meaningfully, "Congrats to Mr. Nelson for finding his son. Looks like Mr. Nelson's flight back to Bostan won't be lonely."
Charles kept his eyes on that side.
He noticed the girl next to Brian was composed. Brian was very respectful to her and even took care of her from time to time. Brian actually knew how to take care of someone!
Charles had an idea!
He walked over to their table, gently placing a hand on Brian's shoulder. "Brian, you're something else!"
Brian didn't shy away. He stood up, pulling Charlotte along. "Dad, you're here too!"
Charles smiled. "Is she your new girlfriend?"
Charlotte recognized him and quickly said, "I'm not."
Brian chimed in, "Dad, she's my boss! When I was down and out, she gave me a job, and now I even live at her place. She's been so good to me!"
Charles took another look at Charlotte.
She was attractive and had an air of integrity.
Without hesitation, he led Brian and Charlotte back to the main table.
Charles was smart; he knew Brian's intentions. It was clear Brian wanted to stick close to this girl.
Charles had a solid reason. "Miss Russell is Brian's boss, so she has the right to sit with us!"
Under everyone's gaze, Charlotte joined the billionaires.
The waiter added two chairs, coincidentally right next to Frederick. Of course, Charlotte wouldn't sit with him and quietly sat next to Patrick.
Frederick raised an eyebrow at her, somewhat teasingly.
Brian sat down and whispered, "Frederick, are you mad already? This isn't over."
Frederick slightly curled his lips.
Charles valued Charlotte highly, speaking to her with great respect. In the end, he directly decided to leave Brian in Charlotte's care. Knowing his identity, Charlotte didn't dare accept this.
Charles poured her a glass of juice and smiled kindly. "I heard your music studio just started and hasn't fully taken off yet. It's not easy for a young woman to start a business. How about this? I'll invest $2 million, just to help out Brian."
He was offering a lot.
Charlotte smiled slightly. "Thank you, Mr. Nelson!"
She poured half a glass of red wine and toasted Charles, clearly treating it as a business matter, which made Charles value her even more. He told Brian, "Learn well from Ms. Russell!"
Brian talked up a storm. "$2 million. I demand a share!"
Charlotte refused. "Once it's in my pocket, don't even think about it!"
This back-and-forth was noticed by Patrick, who was also shrewd and capable. He immediately saw Charles's intention to latch Brian onto Charlotte.
He looked sympathetically at Frederick.
Frederick maintained his graceful demeanor, but he was somewhat concerned inside.
Brian gave him a smug smile and went to the restroom.
When he came out, he found Katherine Mitchell standing at the door, her posture and expression clearly showing she was used to such occasions. Brian smiled, zipped up his pants, and washed his hands.
Katherine, dressed seductively, smiled lightly. "Brian, do you know about Charlotte's past?"
Brian lit a cigarette, leaned against the wall opposite her, and smoked slowly.
Katherine was about to move closer.
Brian spoke, "Don't come any closer! To be honest, I have many women like you, and most of them are still single. If you're married, stay put and stop flaunting yourself around. I'm afraid of catching something!"
Katherine's face changed dramatically.
Brian blew a thick cloud of smoke in her face. "Move aside. Don't block my way!"
Charlotte and Lily heard this from outside the restroom.
They immediately switched to another restroom.
Lily laughed. "He's quite interesting and impressive! But with his status, are you really going to keep him around?"
Charlotte slowly washed her hands. "His dad gave too much. He invested $2 million in my music studio. I'll just consider it as taking care of a kid!"
Lily was envious. "As a billionaire's son, he drives you around, and he could make Maria happy. His dad even gave you $2 million. If this happened to me, I'd wake up laughing."
Lily's envy made her stomach react.
She leaned over the sink, dry heaving for a long time. Charlotte quickly patted her back, and as she did, Charlotte started to suspect something.
Could Lily be pregnant?
