Chapter 166 Turmoil at the Party
Emily was struck with disbelief. The CEO of Visionary Futures Group was married? She approached the group of gossiping women, her curiosity piqued. "Who got married?" she asked, her voice filled with surprise."The CEO of Visionary Futures Group, Mr. Flores," one of the women replied. "He announced it himself, even showed off his wedding ring. It must be true."Emily felt a pang of despair. She reached out to her friend, Maggie. "Maggie, I need your support. I'm in despair."Maggie, amused by Emily's dramatic reaction, asked, "Are you serious?""He's my idol, and now his abs belong to someone else," Emily lamented, clutching her chest dramatically. "The thought of someone else touching his abs... it's too much."Her curiosity unsated, Emily turned to the others. "Has Mr. Flores' wife arrived? What does she look like? What's her name? When did they get married?" She was desperate to know all the details, but no one could provide any answers."Mr. Flores only showed his wedding ring to confirm his marital status," someone explained. "As for his wife's identity, it's a mystery. Mr. Flores has managed to keep it perfectly confidential."The women admired his discretion. "It's commendable. Even when socializing, Mr. Flores never forgets his wife."
"But some people are shameless. Even though Mr. Flores has announced his marriage, she still approaches him and keeps bothering him."
"There are probably too many shameless women. Mr. Flores has to use his married status to deter them."
"Such devoted men are rare."
The conversation continued, with everyone speculating about the identity of Mr. Flores' wife. Maggie, having never met Mr. Flores or his wife, couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. In the world of high society, such dedicated love was indeed a rare gem.Feeling despondent, Emily found a quiet corner to sit. "Maggie, I've lost my pillar of support, why don't you go explore on your own."
Maggie sat down beside her, a comforting smile on her face. "I need to stay here and comfort you. Your idol got married, you'll just have to find a new one."Emily sighed, "Devoted men are rare, especially ones like Mr. Flores. Mrs. Flores is so lucky."Maggie chuckled, "As long as it's fate, you'll surely meet the right person."Emily shot Maggie a sarcastic look. "Easy for you to say, you're already taken. Ask your husband to introduce me to someone with an eight-pack and good looks.""Sure, no problem," Maggie replied, thinking of her husband's handsome cousin, Holden. "He's in great shape, comparable to my husband. But I can't confirm the eight-pack."Emily's spirits lifted at the prospect. "You must introduce him to me.""Okay, I'll ask later," Maggie promised, her smile returning. "Are you feeling better now?""Much better," Emily confirmed, her mood significantly improved. "Let's go, I'll introduce you to my friends."
Maggie only found out today that Emily was the heiress to the Roberts family, a prominent business empire known for their popular brands of seasonings. Emily introduced Maggie to her circle of friends, and with her beauty, charm, and knowledge of jewelry, Maggie quickly won them over, even securing a few orders.As the party continued, David kept his distance whenever Maggie was nearby. Benjamin and his friends had left the party early, and Jenny, embarrassed by Mr. Flores' announcement, had also made an early exit.
Maggie, with her stunning beauty, naturally became the center of attention, attracting the interest of many business elites and scions of prominent families.
