Chapter 303 I Feel Like I've Seen You Somewhere Before
Keith, wearing a white suit, downed a glass of liquor in one gulp and turned his head to look at a man not far from him, dressed in a navy blue suit.
Keith's expression turned respectful upon seeing the man in the navy suit, and he slowly approached with his glass.
Anyone who could command such respect from Keith must have an extraordinary status!
Moreover, the man was surrounded by many wealthy young men, all of whom were flattering him.
"Keith, I heard you were hospitalized for a few days. Is everything alright with your health?" one of the men beside the young man asked with a smile as Keith approached.
Keith smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, just a minor illness."
It was because of William's beating.
The young man in the navy blue suit never once looked directly at Keith. He gently swirled the wine in his glass, his gaze piercing through the crowd and fixed firmly on Mary, who was not far away, his eyes filled with undisguised desire for her.
Keith, being sharp, naturally noticed the young man's gaze and asked, "So, Mr. Henderson is very interested in that woman?"
The man referred to as "Mr. Henderson" glanced at Keith, took a sip of his wine, and, with a faint smile, said, "I didn't expect such a beautiful woman to be in Lindwood City."
Archibald Henderson was a handsome man exuding an air of nobility.
His sharp eyebrows and starry eyes exuded an arrogant charm that could captivate any woman.
Keith introduced, "Mr. Henderson, her name is Mary. She is the new chairman of BK Pharmaceuticals and is quite famous in Lindwood City's pharmaceutical industry. You could say..."
He paused without revealing everything.
Archibald, hailing from the Imperial City, was the most distinguished guest at the party today. He was here to represent the Henderson family in discussions of cooperation with the Cater family.
He was also here to learn about the progress of a certain anti-cancer drug at the party.
Therefore, Keith dared not neglect him!
Now, Archibald fully noticed Keith. If it weren't for the business cooperation with the Cater family, he wouldn't have paid any attention to Keith!
Yes, in his eyes, Keith was just a nobody!
So what if Keith was from the Cater family from Sunshine Bay City?
So what if the Cater family had the Miller family behind them?
The Henderson family was on par with the Miller family, which showed that Archibald's status was indeed extraordinary!
"Oh? Go on," Archibald said as he nodded slightly, signaling Keith to continue.
Keith smiled faintly, looked at Mary, and said, "She is known as the red rose of Lindwood City's business world. Anyone who tries to make a move on her will get pricked. Moreover, she has a useless husband who lives off her!"
A hint of a smile flashed across Archibald's face, and his gaze at Mary grew even more intense with desire.
He desired this type of woman and craved the thrill of conquest. The allure was even stronger with a married woman.
He didn't expect such a proud and cold beauty to appear in the small Lindwood City. Archibald took a full sip of his wine and said lightly, "In three minutes, I want all the information on this woman."
Keith laughed inwardly. He had guessed right; a nobleman like Archibald definitely had an unruly desire to conquer!
He smiled and said, "Mr. Henderson, if you want her information, I can tell you everything."
"You? Keith, don't deceive me, or you know the consequences," Archibald said lightly.
Keith whispered something to Archibald, causing his expression to shift from indifference to delight, then to coldness.
"William Jones? Is he very powerful?" Archibald said coldly, finally turning his gaze to the man standing beside Mary, William!
He had a feeling he'd heard the name somewhere before. Perhaps it was just a common name.
Meanwhile, William was unaware that he was being targeted. He was all smiles, occasionally joking with Mary.
Keith seized the opportunity and said, "Him? To put it bluntly, he's just a gigolo living off his wife, not even liked by his mother-in-law. It's well-known in our circle that he's just a good-for-nothing."
"Mr. Henderson, if you want to get a woman like Mary, you have to deal with the man beside her first!" Keith reminded.
Archibald snorted coldly, exuding a chill, and said, "A poor guy who doesn't know his place, do I need to deal with him myself?"
"Yes, you naturally have your own considerations. I spoke out of turn," Keith said as he quickly nodded and bowed.
Archibald gave him a cold look, seemingly losing interest in continuing the conversation. His eyes remained fixed on Mary and William. He then waved his hand, called over a bodyguard in a black suit, and whispered a few words in his ear. Then the bodyguard glanced at William before leaving the banquet hall.
"An interesting woman, very much to my taste," Archibald remarked, his lips curling into a sneer.
Keith watched Archibald nervously from the side. He noticed Archibald's interest in Mary. Hesitant, he considered using Archibald to handle Mary and William, yet aware this could result in losing Mary.
Archibald noticed the change in Keith's expression, but he didn't care. As a scion of a noble family, he could easily see through Keith's intentions. However, he didn't mind; all his focus was now on Mary!
He desired her intensely.
Keith lowered his voice and asked, "Mr. Henderson, aren't you going to go over and meet Mary?"
"Not for now. The party tonight is important," Archibald said, swirling the wine in his glass. He wasn't in a hurry. Any woman he wanted would naturally come to him!
However, just as he finished speaking, his gaze caught a familiar figure.
Harper, dressed in an evening gown, walked in with a smile and headed towards William.
Why is she here?
Archibald frowned slightly and chuckled. "Interesting."
He then gave his wine glass to Keith and approached William and Mary with a subtle smile.
From a distance, William noticed Archibald and leaned in to whisper in Mary's ear, "Hey, a big shot just arrived."
Mary rolled her eyes at him and said, "How do you know he's a big shot?"
Mary glanced at the approaching Archibald, her expression gradually turning cold.
William pretended to ponder and said, "Well, I was just guessing."
With a keen eye, William could naturally tell that Archibald had an extraordinary presence.
With a smile on his face, Archibald walked into the spotlight, approaching slowly and gracefully, exuding the demeanor of a true gentleman.
However, he didn't directly speak to Mary or the eye-catching Harper. Instead, he locked his gaze on William.
Archibald, the young master of the Henderson family from Imperial City, had unimaginable wealth behind him!
Moreover, he had an unmatched sense of business. At a young age, he had already made a name for himself in Imperial City, becoming one of the most famous business prodigies of his generation!
The Henderson family was a noble family in Imperial City, with resources and connections that others could only dream of!
It could be said that a single contract from the Henderson family could sustain the annual fiscal revenue of a second or third-tier city!
Archibald was a dazzling figure in Imperial City, destined to be the center of attention wherever he went!
At first, his low-key presence went unnoticed at the party. But now, everyone was on high alert, their eyes brimming with desire to please him.
He was the new business figure of the year, the future heir of the Henderson family, a noble family from Imperial City!
He had a remarkable background and even greater power behind him!
Even the so-called top family, the White family from Imperial City, couldn't compare to the Henderson family!
The Henderson family was low-key and didn't care about such empty titles.
Everyone slowly gravitated towards Archibald, surrounding him in the center. Even the spotlight followed him, making him the most dazzling figure at the party tonight!
Being stared at affectionately by Archibald, William frowned.
'Damn, does this guy have some special fetish?' William cursed in his mind.
Archibald walked up to William, extended his hand in a friendly manner, and said, "Hello, I'm Archibald Henderson."
William smiled faintly but didn't shake hands. He just nodded slightly without even giving his name.
Everyone at the scene gasped. William was too arrogant. Archibald was the heir of the Henderson family from Imperial City, who could easily create or destroy a company!
A hint of displeasure flashed in Archibald's eyes, but he continued to smile and said, "Hello, I'm Archibald. Nice to meet you."
"How nice?" William asked indifferently.
Everyone at the scene was stunned!
William was too arrogant!
He was simply courting death!
That was Mr. Henderson!
Harper couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
Mary glanced at William in surprise. William was too audacious.
Archibald's smile twisted slightly, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. This guy was too ungrateful!
Archibald said, "I think I've heard your name before. I feel like I've seen you somewhere?"
Suddenly, Archibald's lips curled into a cold smile as he looked at William.
William frowned, feeling quite annoyed!
Could it be that he was recognized?
