Chapter 192 Various Parties Taking Sides
At the old mansion of the Wilson family, Munro summoned all the members of the Wilson family to have a meal together today and discuss a matter of life and death for their family.
Munro had three sons and one daughter, and the third generation had as many as seven descendants. At the age of eighty, he should have retired to enjoy family bliss at home.
However, a series of major events had recently occurred in New York, and each one was closely related to the future of the Wilson family. Therefore, he had to convene everyone to plan and discuss together.
"I called you here today not only for the meal but also to discuss an important matter. I believe you have all received the invitation to Antony's party at the YJ Club. The invitation clearly states that three important figures will be present."
Munro paused here, and Noad and the others nodded. They had indeed received Antony's party invitation and were now listening attentively.
"The first person I want to mention is Gerardo. He represents the highest authority in New York. Normally, he doesn't attend these commercial parties, but Antony managed to invite him."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Just Mr. Parker's presence alone made attending this party worthwhile. If they could establish a connection with Mr. Parker, it would undoubtedly greatly benefit the future of the Wilson family.
"The second person is Steve, the general manager of the YJ Club. As we all know, the YJ Club is New York's Wealth Center, and their investments in banks, insurance, and other financial industries far exceed those of the Watson family. So, Steve basically represents a large portion of New York's wealth."
Noad and the others also nodded in agreement. Moreover, the YJ Club was not accessible to ordinary people; membership was required. Therefore, by attending this party and establishing a connection with figures like Steve, the Wilson family's various companies wouldn't have to worry about money for their future development.
"The last important person mentioned in the invitation is Mr. Brown. Although, the Brown family is not on the domestic family rankings, but that doesn't mean their strength is inferior to them, but rather they disdain such a common list. Their industries have already spread throughout the world, and their chairman, Philippe, was the richest man in the country more than twenty years ago."
Upon hearing this, Noad and the others were secretly surprised. This top-level aristocratic family surpassed the top ten domestic families in terms of strength and industries. If they could establish some relationship with these rich second-generation members of such a prestigious family, they would truly soar to success.
"Dad, do you really think Antony can invite rich second-generation members of this level?" Kevin asked with a voice full of doubt.
In fact, this question was the doubt of everyone present. How could the rich second-generation members of the world's top-level prestigious families come to a third-tier city like their New York? Did Antony have such great dignity? Even Noad, who had some acquaintance with Antony, did not believe that Antony had such ability.
"To be honest, I don't believe it either!" Munro expressed his opinion directly, then said, "It's very likely that Antony wants to use Mr. Brown's name to exert pressure on the Walsh family in the CC Alliance. But at the same time, there's also a great possibility that Mr. Brown will indeed come."
Upon hearing this, everyone took a sharp breath. If Mr. Brown really came, the CC Alliance they had painstakingly built would collapse overnight.
"Moreover, from my understanding of Antony, there's a high probability that Mr. Brown will come. But considering the current situation in New York, we can't solely believe in one side," Munro said with a meaningful tone.
Everyone present, being intelligent people, quickly understood the meaning behind Munro's words and agreed with it.
"Dad, are you suggesting that the three of us brothers split into two groups to support the CC Alliance and Antony respectively?" Noad asked directly, clarifying the point.
"Yes, so that no matter which side wins in the end, we won't suffer devastating blows," Munro paused for a moment before continuing.
"Your older brother and I have already signed the agreement with the CC Alliance, so we'll temporarily stay with the Watson family. As for you, Noad, you will take the younger members to attend the party hosted by Antony tomorrow."
"Dad, is that alright? Won't the Watson family blame us?" Kevin expressed his concern, knowing that Rodrigo had already issued a ban, and if family members who had signed the agreement attended Antony's party, it would be considered a breach and result in heavy fines.
"If something happens, I'll take responsibility!" Munro showed his courage. At a time like this, if they foolishly tied themselves to one tree, it would truly narrow the path for the future of the Wilson family. He finished speaking.
After that, Munro reminded them somewhat sheepishly, "Also, all the granddaughters who are attending the party tomorrow, make sure they dress up nicely."
Everyone was confused for a moment, wondering what was going on! Master usually favored boys over girls and rarely cared about his granddaughters' existence. It was strange that he suddenly concerned himself with their appearance this time.
"Dad, why are you suddenly interested in your granddaughters?" Katharine, sitting next to Noad, couldn't help but speak up. She only had one daughter and had always been neglected by Master. Now, for no reason, he was showing concern for his granddaughters, and she wanted to find out why.
"Mr. Brown is probably around the same age as the granddaughters," Munro said just this one sentence, and everyone present instantly understood its meaning. After all, they weren't fools.
No wonder Master suddenly wanted the granddaughters to dress up nicely. He wanted to make an impression on Mr. Brown! Although the chances were lower than winning the lottery, what if Mr. Brown took notice?
Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up. The three brothers all had daughters, with only the eldest and youngest having both sons and daughters, while Noad only had a daughter. Even Megan had a son and a daughter.
Master always disliked Katharine the most. She couldn't even give birth to a son. Could he treat her well? So, Katharine held a grudge in her heart this time.
This exact scene that transpired within the Wilson family was happening simultaneously in many wealthy families of New York.
First, they divided people into two groups, investing in Antony and CC Alliance respectively. Second, they meticulously dressed up the granddaughters. Although they knew the chances were very low, even lower than winning the lottery, people always had a sense of luck. What if they caught the eye of the wealthy second generation, Mr. Brown?
On the day of the party, William came to Michelle's house in his car, ready to pick her up and go to the YJ Club party together.
Little did he know that as soon as he reached the door, he could hear Michelle and her mother, Katharine, arguing upstairs.
"Mom, William doesn't like it when I wear such revealing dresses. My chest is almost out," Michelle was unhappy. Her mother, Katharine, insisted that she wear a completely bare-shoulder, bare-leg dress.
"I want you to wear this dress for your own good. If you don't show any skin, how will Mr. Brown take an extra look at you? You really infuriate me, wasting such a pretty face," Katharine said in a frustrated tone!
"Why should I make Mr. Brown take an extra look at me? I have William, I don't need to catch his attention!" Michelle directly refused, feeling like she was about to be driven crazy by her mother.
"Besides, I don't want to marry into a wealthy family. I just want to lead a simple life with William."
"After saying these words, Michelle angrily threw the dress in Katharine's hands and went downstairs wearing a white chiffon dress she usually wears for shopping.
As soon as she reached the stairs, she saw that William had already arrived. Her face immediately lit up, and she happily ran towards him.
"William, you're here. Let's go!" Michelle affectionately held William's arm and couldn't help urging him. She didn't want to see her mother's scary expression for the time being.
"Uncle and Aunt won't blame me, right?" William said helplessly.
"No, let's go quickly, or my mom will come after us." Michelle was right. Just as she finished speaking, Katharine came running down from upstairs, looking furious and holding a revealing designer dress.
"Is this how you repay me after I've raised you?"
William was speechless as he watched. He never expected that merely by letting Antony release the news of his visit to YJ Club, it would so quickly attract Katharine's attention.
But clearly, he had greatly underestimated the allure of being an heir of a wealthy family to these girls!
It wasn't until he brought Michelle to the entrance of YJ Club that he truly witnessed how appealing his identity as an heir was.
