Chapter 106 Don't Be Overconfident
The Mandarin Oriental, aglow with brilliance and resembling daylight itself, had a plethora of luxury cars parked right outside. The red carpet extended beyond the entrance, epitomizing opulence.
It seemed that Seraphina and Susie had spent a lot of money on the birthday banquet.
In the hall decorated with crystal chandeliers, on the stage in front, a woman in a white evening gown affectionately played the piano.
"Mr. Stewart, long time no see, you are getting younger and younger!"
"Mr. Sanchez, the last time I saw you was at last year's auction. It's been so long. I heard your business is doing very well."
"Mr. Young, thank you for coming!"
In the hall, the voices of Susie and Seraphina Murphy welcoming guests were continuous. The people present today were all influential figures; otherwise, they would not have been able to enter Seraphina's banquet.
Politely speaking, this was a birthday banquet, but bluntly speaking, it was Seraphina's way of making money, plus helping Susie network.
Outsiders were unaware of the Mitchell family's current situation, but Seraphina and Susie understood their family's situation perfectly
Of course, Brooklyn was also very clear about it.
Brooklyn stepped out of the car in red high heels, holding a small diamond-studded clutch in her hand, a large diamond ring from Sebastian on her slender ring finger, and a black V-neck evening gown with a cinched waist outlining her graceful figure.
She was usually too lazy to dress up, but she had an excellent figure.
Her fair skin contrasted with the black evening gown, her long hair elegantly pinned up, shiny earrings gently swayed on her slender neck, and a diamond pendant shone brightly between her two delicate collarbones.
She didn't seem to be wearing very extravagant jewelry, but discerning eyes could see that every piece of her accessories was a valuable brand.
Brooklyn hadn't shown up at such an occasion for a long time. After entering, the waiter took her white coat off and didn't even recognize who she was.
Mr. Baker inquired, "Mrs. Murphy, on such an important day, why isn't Ms. Mitchell here?"
Seraphina, with fur draped over her shoulder, felt resentful and gritted her teeth. Stephen had been dead for several years, and his old friends still didn't see her as the true mistress of the Mitchell family. They immediately looked for Brooklyn upon arrival!
She held a wine glass and smiled. "The Miss of the Mitchell family is right here."
Susie hurriedly smiled. "Mr. Baker, hello, I am Susie."
Mr. Baker glanced at Susie, his smile fading slightly. "It seems that Brooklyn won't be coming today."
Seraphina gritted her teeth. "Mr. Baker, I also wanted her to come, but Brooklyn is really too ignorant. She doesn't even show up at family banquets. I can't help it. It's embarrassing. Please forgive us."
Brooklyn's lips curled up; she casually took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray and gracefully walked into the center of the hall.
"Mr. Baker, I'm here!"
A crisp and playful voice suddenly broke the noise of the living room. Everyone turned to look, only to see a slender figure walking gracefully. The woman was elegant and dignified, with an extraordinary temperament.
However, many present found her unfamiliar.
Mr. Baker laughed loudly. "Brooklyn, you've grown up and become beautiful! In the past, you followed Stephen around as a little girl, haha!"
With Mr. Baker's words, everyone finally understood that this person was Brooklyn! The legitimate heiress of the Mitchell family, who was supposed to inherit the Mitchell Group but later disappeared.
Brooklyn gracefully bowed and smiled. "Mr. Baker, you are still as playful as before. Cheers to you!"
"So it's Ms. Mitchell, nice to meet you!"
"Ms. Mitchell, it's nice to meet you for the first time. Let me toast to you first!"
"Ms. Mitchell, you look radiant today, not inferior to your mother's elegance back then."
Seraphina and Susie went to great lengths to set up the banquet, but Brooklyn unexpectedly became the center of attention upon arrival!
Susie gritted her teeth, lowered her voice, and muttered through clenched teeth, "Mom, are you just going to let her cause a scene like this?"
Seraphina suppressed her anger. "Don't worry, this is just the beginning, no need to rush."
Mr. Baker took a sip of wine and asked with concern, "Do you have any gentlemen in mind? If so, bring him over for me to see, and I'll help you out."
Susie suddenly walked up. "Mr. Baker, don't you know? Brooklyn is now an extraordinary figure."
"Today is not my home field. We will visit you another day, Mr. Baker. Please excuse us for now."
Brooklyn grabbed Susie's arm and dragged her harshly to a corner. "Susie, I warn you, you better watch your words tonight!"
"What's wrong? The Kingsley family doesn't acknowledge your existence, afraid of losing face? If you're afraid of losing face, then don't come! You little b****!"
Brooklyn squeezed her fingers hard, causing her to pale. "Don't be overconfident. You are not my match. If you want the banquet to end smoothly, from now on, rein in yourself!"
"Brooklyn, what are you being so arrogant for? Just because someone is protecting you, you think you can be arrogant!" Susie said in anger.
Brooklyn replied, "Who do I need protection from? Susie, I am different from you. Without Seraphina, you can't do anything!"
After saying that, Brooklyn shook off her hand, raised her head, and walked into the prestigious banquet hall where the elite gathered.
Susie gritted her teeth tightly, waiting to see what happened next!
