Chapter 125 Mistaken Identity?
Judging from the texture of the skin, this person must be a girl.
In Houston, the only one who had such a good relationship with him and could attend the opening event was Lily.
Only she, this little girl, could do something like this.
Besides, George had specifically mentioned inviting Lily to the opening event!
So, Ryder remained silent.
He wanted to let Lily entertain herself!
The atmosphere became awkward and silent for more than 10 seconds.
The person standing behind him seemed a bit impatient and angrily said, "Hey! Are you mute? Speak up and guess who I am!"
Ryder sighed helplessly and said, "Can you stop making a fuss? I haven't eaten breakfast and I'm hungry."
"No, you have to guess who I am!" the person behind him insisted.
"If you don't let go, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Ryder warned.
"I won't let go!"
"Take this!"
As they spoke, Ryder suddenly reached his right hand backward.
He grabbed her face and twisted it slightly with some force!
"Ouch! That hurts!"
The girl behind him exclaimed in pain.
Finally, she let go of Ryder's hand, still holding her face.
In the process of pushing her away, her chest accidentally bumped into Ryder's hand.
She exclaimed again!
Ryder was stunned!
He quickly stood up, turned around, and awkwardly smiled, "Hmph! I told you to let go, but you just wouldn't listen..."
However, when he saw the person in front of him clearly, his eyes widened completely! She was definitely not Lily!
Instead, she was a young girl he had never seen before! She appeared to be around twenty-one or twenty-two years old, and despite her young age, she was outstanding in both figure and appearance.
Wearing white shoes and a little dress, she exuded a kind of youthful vitality. From her temperament, it was evident that she belonged to a wealthy family!
At this moment, the girl also widened her eyes and covered her mouth in astonishment, saying, "Who are you?"
Ryder scratched the back of his head and awkwardly replied, "I... I came to attend the banquet. My name is Ryder Clark. I'm sorry, I thought you were my friend and acted a bit too forcefully!"
Hearing this, the girl shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, no, no! I should be the one apologizing. I mistook you for someone else and caused you trouble!" As she spoke, she bowed to Ryder to express her apology. Her entire face turned rosy due to embarrassment.
"It's okay! No worries!" Ryder waved his hand. He was not someone who was good at dealing with girls and didn't want to dwell on this matter any longer, so he found an excuse and said, "Um, I have something to attend to. I need to go now!" Leaving these words behind, he turned and walked further inside.
Watching Ryder's figure walking away, the girl patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief.
At this moment, someone behind her asked, "What are you standing there for?" She turned her head. Only to see a young man dressed in black sportswear, who bore a striking resemblance to her, smiling at her.
The girl clenched her fist and punched him on the chest, annoyed, "Where did you go?"
"I went to the restroom, what's wrong?"
"Hmph! It's all your fault. Wearing the same color sportswear as someone else, you made me mistake them for you. It was so embarrassing!"
The young man affectionately rubbed her head and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. After we finish at the banquet, I'll take you out to shop. I made $10 million in an investment yesterday, so it should be enough for you to spend!"
The girl pouted smugly and hummed, "That's more like it."
After that embarrassing scene just now, Ryder hurriedly distanced himself.
He sent a message to Lily on WhatsApp, "George's company is opening today. Weren't you invited to cheer them on?"
Soon, Lily replied, "I'm sorting out documents for opening a pet shop today, so I don't have time to go. What's wrong? Are you feeling lonely without me?"
"Go away!"
"Hmph! You actually want me to go away, then I won't talk to you anymore!"
Ryder didn't reply.
Over ten seconds later, Lily noticed that he hadn't replied and sent another message, "Are you really not talking to me?"
"Hmm!"
"Don't be so petty, I'll give you a treat!" Immediately after sending that, Lily sent Ryder over ten selfies!
Half of them were her showcasing her figure while doing yoga, highlighting her beauty where it should be highlighted and exaggerating where it should be exaggerated! The rest of the photos were a bit on the private side, not convenient for others to see! Ryder, being a man, couldn't help but have a slightly heated reaction when seeing these photos.
Lily sent another message: "I know your wife won't let you touch her, and it's troublesome to find videos online, so I, as your friend, can only sacrifice myself to provide you with some material. But I advise you not to overdo it!"
This woman is too audacious, isn't she? What is she thinking about all day long?
Just as Ryder was about to enlarge the photos on his phone for further examination, a woman's voice sounded beside him, "Mr. Clark?"
He looked up, only to see a beautiful woman with a mature air about her looking at him. He had crossed paths with this person before, and it was none other than Casey, the general manager of The Pint House!
Ryder quickly exited WhatsApp and pretended to be calm as he extended his hand, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here!"
After saying that, Ryder secretly cursed himself for his blunder. She was working at The Pint House, so of course they would meet here!
However, Casey casually shook hands with Ryder and smiled, "How have you been, Mr. Clark?"
"Just about the same!" Ryder let go of Casey's hand and continued, "Actually, I must thank you. After I left last time, you helped my wife to understand the situation better. Otherwise, I would have had a hard time explaining certain things!"
"We're friends, so there's no need to thank me! Besides, I feel a special connection with Sarah. We even made plans to go shopping in a few days!"
"It's good to have her out and about. Otherwise, she'll exhaust herself with all that crazy work that she does and end up with occupational diseases!"
As they were speaking, Casey's gaze suddenly shifted to another direction, and she sighed, "Even the Miss and Master of the Brown family came!"
Following Casey's gaze, Ryder saw a man and a woman talking in the distance. Ryder recognized the woman, the young girl he mistook for Lily earlier. "They're from the Brown family?"
Casey nodded, "Yes! Nathan is the grandson of Houston's richest man, Scott, and the girl is his granddaughter, Cara. They seem to be representing the Brown family at the banquet! Mr. Clark, as the President of Maple Real Estate, don't you know them?"
In her view, Maple Real Estate, as one of the Maple Group's subsidiaries, must have an important relationship with the Brown family. Ryder must know Nathan and Cara!
But Ryder shook his head straightforwardly, "I actually don't know them."
