Chapter 695 Mr. Harrington's New Girlfriend
Harold didn't take off his sunglasses, so his emotions were hidden.
Benjamin remained expressionless and casually said, "The plans have been re-evaluated, but I think it's best not to act rashly now that there's an unexpected situation at the Harrington Group headquarters. We should wait until things are resolved over there. What do you think, Dad?"
He effortlessly tossed the question back, leaving no room for error.
Harold's eyes flickered, and he said, "You do have a point."
After that, the two of them just chatted about some everyday matters. Any subtle probing was deftly deflected by Benjamin, without revealing a single flaw.
This interaction was merely a performance for Harold before the game concluded, serving as a fitting end to his misdeeds.By the time they reached the hotel, Harold was almost certain that Benjamin was not acting out of the ordinary.
The bodyguard got out of the car first and opened the door for him.
Benjamin got out on his own and looked up to see Harold, dressed in black, blending into the night like a mysterious figure.
Harold approached him, turned around, and said, "No need to see me up. You should go back and rest early."
Benjamin handed his luggage to the bodyguard and said, "Alright, call me if you need anything."
Harold suddenly spoke, "I'm planning to host a cocktail party in the Capital City, inviting all the influential people. It's a good opportunity to restore the Harrington Group's reputation."
It wasn't just Benjamin's cancellation of the engagement that caused a significant negative impact; there was also the investigation at headquarters, which was being discussed privately.
Many people were even speculating whether something major had happened to the Harrington Group.
At this point, he had to take action.
Only by showing his presence could he silence the rumors.
Harold's black leather gloves gleamed with an unusual sheen under the entrance lights, enhancing his mysterious aura. "Make sure the venue is confirmed, and I'll handle the rest."
Benjamin nodded respectfully. "Understood, Dad."
...
The Harrington Group was quick to organize such events, and the cocktail party was scheduled for two days later.
Apart from the venue, everything else was arranged by Harold himself. He even had his personal assistant extend a personal invitation to Sarah.
Sarah had never anticipated that Benjamin's father would suddenly come to the capital city, nor did she expect them to send an invitation to her home.
It was hard for her to refuse.
Bob had answered the door earlier. Seeing that Sarah had agreed, he sent the person off and then frowned, asking, "Ms. Miller, are you really going?"
After all, the Harrington Group had caused all those previous incidents!
Sarah looked at the invitation in her hand and turned to walk back.
She said, "This is the personal assistant of the chairman of the Harrington Group. Since he personally delivered the invitation, it wouldn't be appropriate not to go."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Bob didn't say anything more but expressed his concern, "Then you should be careful."
Sarah nodded. "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
...
Two days later, the cocktail party was held at an international five-star hotel. Whether they were celebrities or nobility, anyone who received an invitation had to show their respects to the Harrington Group.
Sarah wore a loose white dress, as she was now about five months pregnant. For safety, she chose a pair of black flat shoes.
As she entered the banquet hall, her attention was immediately drawn to a man and a woman nearby.
Benjamin was dressed in a black suit, exuding an air of restraint and handsomeness from a distance. The woman beside him was gentle and charming, holding his arm with admiration in her eyes.
The two of them drew a lot of attention and whispers from the crowd.
"Is that Mr. Harrington? How long has it been since the engagement was called off? And he's already with someone new?"
"Yeah, I thought he was a devoted man!"
Another person agreed, "Exactly!"
"You really can't judge a book by its cover. Looking at him, Mr. Harrington must have a chaotic private life."
"Ms. Moore is really pitiful."
Listening to these whispers and looking at Benjamin with the beauty on his arm, Sarah couldn't help but glare at him.
'Jerk! He looked dignified, but he was actually a jerk!' she thought.
Benjamin, who had just turned his head, caught the glare.The surprise of seeing his beloved Sarah was quickly replaced by confusion at her glare.
'Is she still mad about the other day?' he thought.
He instinctively withdrew his arm from the woman's hold, afraid of being misunderstood by Sarah.
This woman was just a model Benjamin had casually found. In an event like this, if he didn't bring a date, Harold would definitely be suspicious.
As for Isabella, she was hiding and wouldn't show up.
Benjamin had planned to talk to Sarah, but Harold came out at that moment, warmly greeting the guests. Even while talking, his eyes lingered on Benjamin for a moment.
He was watching his reaction.
Sarah was also over there.
Benjamin stifled all his deep emotions, concealing them completely.He ignored Sarah and walked over to Harold, raising his glass in a toast to Larry Hall beside him. "Mr. Hall, you look as spirited as ever."
Larry laughed heartily, modestly saying, "I'm getting old. It's you young people leading the way now. We have to keep up with your pace."
As he spoke, he glanced at the woman beside Benjamin."Mr. Harrington, your girlfriend is very beautiful," Larry remarked.
The woman beside him blushed shyly and leaned weakly against Benjamin.
Harold smiled, his eyes flickering slightly as he discreetly glanced at Sarah nearby. He wondered how Benjamin would react.
Benjamin's eyes showed no change as he slightly curled his lips. "The woman I fancy is naturally not ordinary."
His words sounded like a joke, making Larry and Harold laugh heartily, and the model beside him blushed even more.
Sarah stood there, holding her glass of orange juice, frozen for a moment.
