Chapter 165
The other entrepreneurs continued to speak, including the young Ella. It was only then that Agnes was surprised to learn that Ella, despite her young age, was already the general manager of her family business and held many impressive titles.
As Agnes' heart raced, the host mentioned the Wonderhaven Private Club. "Next, let's welcome one of Lumina City's rising star entrepreneurs, the legal representative and largest shareholder of Wonderhaven Private Club, the legal representative of Angels' Love Foundation, and the CEO of AgnesGlow, Ms. Tudor!"
Under the curious gazes of the audience, Agnes took a deep breath, let go of Cherie, who had been cheering her on, and walked up the red carpet.
"This Ms. Tudor looks so young! Can she handle such a big responsibility?"
"Wasn't Wonderhaven Private Club always Mr. Neville's business? When did it become Ms. Tudor's?"
"That's right, where did this Ms. Tudor come from? Does she have some powerful backing?"
"Definitely, maybe some big shot has taken a liking to her."
"Don't talk nonsense, she has a close relationship with Mr. Neville!" said a company president who had dined with Leopold and Agnes.
The whispers from the audience reached Agnes' ears. Under everyone's gaze, she steadily walked onto the stage with elegance.
She took the microphone handed to her by the host, took a deep breath, and began to speak. The audience immediately quieted down. "Hello everyone, I am Agnes. It is a great honor to attend tonight's exchange meeting. I am still a newcomer in the business world and hope to receive guidance and support from all of you in the future."
Agnes' humble words, combined with her outstanding appearance, immediately enlivened the atmosphere.
A company president joked, "Ms. Tudor, you are so young and beautiful, having an advantage in the business world. I believe all the bosses here will take good care of you! I just hope that when we visit the Wonderhaven Private Club in the future, Ms. Tudor, you can get us a VIP card."
His tone was light, and many people laughed along. Agnes smiled and playfully responded, "No problem, all of you here are big shots in Lumina City. It would be our honor to have you visit the Wonderhaven Private Club!"
"You're too much, joking around and bullying the little girl."
"Ms. Tudor is no little girl; she has such a successful career. My daughter is a few years older than her and still lazing around at home. I must hurry and push her to find a job!"
"Yes, Ms. Tudor is indeed young and promising."
In fact, everyone understood that Agnes had backing. Otherwise, no matter how smart she was, it would be impossible for her to manage the Wonderhaven Private Club and AgnesGlow in her early twenties. They just didn't know who her backer was, so they didn't dare to offend her.
After nodding slightly, Agnes stepped off the stage.
Michael had been waiting for her for a while. As soon as she blended into the crowd, he stopped her. But before he could speak, many people surrounded them.
They all came to make connections. "Ms. Tudor, where are you working now?"
"Ms. Tudor, which school did you graduate from?"
"Ms. Tudor, are you married?"
At this moment, Agnes would rather chat with Michael about something else than answer these questions because she felt guilty. All of this was given to her by Leopold, not something she had earned through her own efforts.
She politely apologized to everyone, "Sorry, I have some matters to discuss with Mr. Wright. We can talk later."
Michael was slightly stunned, not expecting Agnes to approach him proactively, but he quickly understood that she was using him as a shield again.
He didn't mind, just smiled and nodded to a few acquaintances, then pretended to hold her waist intimately and led her to a quieter place.
Finally, in a quiet corner, Agnes relaxed. She was really not good at handling such occasions.
She must tell Leopold to take back all her titles and not let her attend such exchange meetings again, or she would break down.
Michael watched the slightly relaxed Agnes. Thinking that she already belonged to Kevin, he felt an indescribable jealousy.
Michael's grip on his wine glass tightened. "Agnes, did Kevin's give you all these things? If you want, I can give you more."
He didn't know how Kevin became the largest shareholder of the Wonderhaven Private Club, but he had to admit that Kevin treated her very well.
Agnes was slightly taken aback, thinking he never really knew her. I studied economics and management, but that doesn't mean I like the business world."
She had taken the economics and management courses because Leopold had arranged it, and she had no better choice at the time.
Michael's gaze was intense, his voice filled with pain. "Agnes, what will it take for you to come back to me?"
"Mr. Wright, I just cut Faith's hair. Aren't you afraid she'll get mad at you for confessing to me like this?" Agnes looked around, wondering where Cherie had gone.
Michael certainly knew about the conflict between Faith and Agnes. Chloe had told him as soon as he returned from his business trip.
"Faith has always been a bit unreasonable. You didn't really hurt her, so this trivial matter can be ignored," Michael said.
Agnes looked seriously at Michael and said, "Mr. Wright, I cut off Faith's most beloved long hair!"
Michael was amused by her seriousness. "Agnes, after all these years, I know you well. If she hadn't provoked you first, you wouldn't have acted."
Agnes used to cherish Faith as much as he did, but unfortunately, neither of them cherished Agnes properly.
Hearing this, Agnes looked at Michael with a complex expression. When did he start trusting her so much? However, she replied, "It's too late."
And he responded with the same promise he had made countless times, "It's okay, I'm willing to wait."
Thinking of what Chloe had said a few days ago, Agnes was a bit angry. "As you wish. It has nothing to do with me! Just pity your fiancée, does she know you have someone else in your heart?"
Michael, hearing this topic, excitedly grabbed her hand. "You care about me, don't you? Agnes, I won't get engaged to her! Really! I only love you!"
