Chapter 338 Welcome, Dragon Lord
Outside the Sunset City Hotel, a number of media reporters had also gathered.
The situation on the scene was being broadcast live.
Chloe said Black Dragon wasn't here, and she didn't know where Black Dragon was.
Only then did these people leave.
Chloe and the others returned to the Sunset City Hotel once again.
More and more guests arrived.
Soon, the hotel lobby was filled with hundreds of people.
Celebrities from Sunset City presented carefully prepared gifts.
These people were just ordinary celebrities; the real big shots, like the Five-State Business Alliance and the Prosperity Business Alliance, were not invited by Chloe because the Lewis Family had grudges with them and felt embarrassed to send invitations.
Maria accepted the gifts on behalf of Chloe, smiling very happily.
Not far away.
Victor, leaning on a cane, was very proud, chatting with some big shots and discussing the development of the Everjoy Company.
At this moment, Victor felt that the Lewis Family had truly become a prestigious family, a pillar of Sunset City.
And all of this was brought by his granddaughter Chloe.
Seeing so many big shots present.
He took a microphone and loudly said, "Everyone, please be quiet, I have something to say."
The noisy venue quieted down at this moment.
All eyes were on Victor.
Victor held the microphone, and the Lewis Family members beside him were very proud, basking in the attention.
Victor scanned the room and said loudly, "I'm old, it's time to retire. The younger generation of the Lewis Family has made me proud, and I can retire with honor. Now, I announce that starting today, Chloe will be the new leader of the Lewis Family. I believe the Lewis Family will be even better under Chloe's leadership."
The room erupted in applause.
Victor smiled and handed the microphone to Chloe, saying, "Chloe, say a few words."
Chloe took the microphone and said with a smile, "Thank you all for coming to my birthday party. I am deeply honored. Thank you, everyone."
She bowed deeply.
Larry sat in the distance, watching silently.
Esmeralda and Abigail sat beside him.
Both of them knew about Larry and Chloe's situation. Now that they had broken up, they were afraid Larry would be sad and stayed with him.
Larry's purpose for coming here was just to offer a word of blessing.
He stood up and walked towards Chloe.
The Lewis Family members' faces instantly turned grim when they saw Larry approaching.
"Isn't this the Lewis Family's son-in-law, Larry?"
"Didn't he and Chloe get divorced? Why is he here?"
"I don't know."
Many people whispered.
Under many gazes, Larry came to stand in front of Chloe.
The smile on Chloe's face froze, replaced by a cold expression. She said indifferently, "Who let you come over? Get lost, I don't want to see you."
Sirius, standing beside her, also looked at Larry with disdain, a mocking smile on his lips. "Larry, since Chloe divorced you, why are you still bothering her?"
Larry glanced at Sirius and snorted lightly.
Then he looked at Chloe.
"I came just to wish you a happy birthday."
"I don't need it."
Chloe was very cold.
Her cold demeanor was too much even for Abigail to bear.
She stepped forward and said coldly, "Chloe, what's wrong with you? Don't forget it was Larry who gave you a billion dollars. Without Larry's billion dollars, could the Lewis Family have developed to where it is now?"
"Abigail, what does the Lewis Family's business have to do with you?" Maria immediately scolded, "It was Larry who saved Esmeralda, and Xerxes gave it to him. He married into the Lewis Family, and he was able to save Esmeralda because of the luck the Lewis Family brought him. Everything he has is because of the Lewis Family."
"How ridiculous."
Abigail had long despised the Lewis Family and Chloe.
"To act like this is really too much. Is he really that stupid? Giving Chloe a billion dollars for nothing?"
Larry gently tugged at Abigail and said, "That's enough, stop talking."
"No, I want to say it."
Abigail was relentless, pointing at Chloe and scolding her, "Are you an idiot? What man would give a woman a billion dollars for nothing? Do you really think that money came from Xerxes?"
Chloe was unhappy being scolded and said coldly, "Abigail, this is my business. What does it have to do with you? If you keep this up, don't blame me for being rude."
"You're really an idiot. Letting go of such a good man, you'll regret it."
"Enough." Larry shouted.
Abigail turned around, tears in her eyes, and yelled at Larry, "You're a big fool too."
With that, she ran off crying.
Many people watched this scene.
They all had expressions of watching a show.
Everyone knew about Chloe's useless husband.
Many also knew about her divorce from Larry and her relationship with Black Dragon.
But, after all, this was their private matter, and people didn't know much about it.
Esmeralda gently tugged at Larry and asked softly, "Larry, are you okay?"
Larry smiled faintly and said, "What could be wrong? I'm fine."
Then, he looked at Chloe.
"Not being able to be with you until the end is really a pity, but no matter what, I still hope you can be happy."
"I don't need your blessings."
Chloe's face was grim.
Abigail had embarrassed her in front of so many people.
In her view, this was all orchestrated by Larry.
She was also very puzzled. Hadn't Abigail always disliked Larry?
How did she get so close to Larry?
Yesterday she spoke up for Larry, and today she turned against her in front of so many people.
Could friendship really not compare to a useless man?
"Larry, get out of here. You're not welcome," Maria pointed to the door and said coldly, "Chloe has already divorced you. You have nothing to do with Chloe."
Victor also looked at Larry, sighed, and said, "Larry, since you married into the Lewis Family, you've worked hard and never complained. I've seen it all. Now that you're divorced from Chloe, I have to show some gesture, so outsiders don't say the Lewis Family doesn't know how to treat people. Give me your account number, and I'll give you a million dollars to ensure you live comfortably."
Even Esmeralda couldn't stand it anymore.
"Victor, do you really think Larry needs your million dollars? If he needed money, he wouldn't have given Chloe a billion dollars for nothing."
"Esmeralda, stop talking about this," Larry said, waving his hand slightly.
The onlookers were all puzzled.
Abigail had mentioned a billion dollars.
Now Esmeralda from the Vale Family also mentioned a billion dollars.
Could it be that this useless Larry really gave Chloe a billion dollars?
Gave her a billion dollars and then divorced her?
If that's true, then Chloe is really heartless.
Esmeralda closed her mouth.
Larry sighed deeply.
"I had hoped to wait until everything was over to marry you and spend the rest of my life with you, but that day never came. No matter what, I sincerely hope you can be happy."
At this moment, outside the Sunset City Hotel.
An armed military unit appeared.
Leading them was a middle-aged man in a battle robe.
He was Free.
Last night, he went to Aurora Citadel.
After a night-long meeting at Aurora Citadel, it was finally decided to reinstate Larry to his former position as the commander of the Black Dragon Army, to go to Southwild and fight the enemy.
Accompanying him were Valerian and other members of the Black Dragon Army.
At this moment, they were all dressed in battle robes.
On the battle robes, a lifelike Black Dragon was depicted.
Even Frank had left the military hospital, donned his battle robe, with a shining star on his shoulder.
Over a thousand Black Dragon Army soldiers appeared outside the Sunset City Hotel, kneeling on one knee.
"Welcome, Dragon Lord."
The voices were uniform and loud.
