Beloved Old Lover

At exactly seven o’clock in the evening, the front gate of the Gold Hotel was bustling with people coming in and out.

SM Investment Company chose this hotel and restaurant complex as the venue for the year-end party because it is one of the two most luxurious hotel and restaurant complexes in the city.

This is also the first time, Emily follows Daniel out to a party. Before, she came here to give Kevin the documents and from that day on, he accepted her as his sister-in-law.

“Oh, Kevin is with Emma?”

Daniel exclaimed when he saw a man and a woman step out of the luxury car. Just now, Kevin left home before him, so he thought his brother had come here a long time ago. It turned out he was going to pick up his girlfriend who had just broken up with him, so he only appeared now.

Emily was also shocked because she did not think Kevin would take Emma with him.

“Yesterday, he said he would go alone.” Emily shook her head and replied.

Kevin didn’t see Daniel and Emily, so he and Emma went straight into the banquet hall.

Everyone knows that Kevin is gradually replacing Matthew’s position, so even if he doesn’t want to, he still has to do things to bring harmony and friendliness to business partners.

The past and now are different, he can’t just sit with the old guys who are about to retire.

Seeing Kevin, Kent, and Jennifer immediately came over to say hello. He did not know that his daughter caused trouble with the assistant of the general director of Unicons and was fired by him, he only thought that his daughter was bored working outside and returned to join the family company.

“Hello general director, the two corporations have cooperated for a long time but we rarely have the opportunity to meet each other. Fortunately, there is this year-end party.” Kent proactively extended his hand first.

“We are both busy. I’m also very happy to be able to meet you here.” Kevin also politely shook hands with the person opposite him.

Jennifer also nodded softly as a greeting and looked around to search for Emily. Everything had been arranged by her, if Emily didn’t come, it would all be a failure.

Losing a large amount of money to pay Reid and not getting any results must make her crazy.

Kevin didn’t even look at Jennifer so he didn’t see the suspicious look on her face. After receiving the glass of wine from the waiter, he proactively touched Kent’s glass of wine, took a sip, and then asked permission to go somewhere else to greet the business owners.

The moment he pulled Emma’s hand and passed Kent and Jennifer, Daniel and Emily also crossed the threshold, entering the crowded banquet hall.

Today, Emily wore a dress she designed, dark blue, revealing her slim, elegant, and seductive bare shoulders. When she was paired next to the elegant and handsome Daniel, she attracted countless jealous and admiring eyes from unmarried girls.

Emma quickly recognized the appearance of the most beautiful couple in the city. Her endlessly sad eyes kept following their footsteps while trying to smile and answer her partner’s questions.

The closer the day of his wedding came, the more her heart withered and lost its vitality.

“Oh my gosh, the couple of the year is here. Just now I looked around but didn’t see you, I only saw your brother. I thought you were hiding.” A young businessman who is also a member of the volunteer group spoke up.

“If I hide, SM leaders won’t come to my wedding. I’m not foolish. These guys’ lucky money can buy a lot of things.” Daniel squinted his eyes and answered happily.

The people standing around burst into laughter at his joke. That little bit of wedding money is nothing compared to Unicons Group’s annual net profit.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Everyone knows that he holds up to fifteen percent of the corporation’s shares, and the profit flowing into his pocket is a huge amount. Not to mention that after Matthew retires, thirty-five percent of the shares he holds will be divided between his two sons.

Matthew’s family holds eighty percent of the shares, the remaining twenty percent belongs to other shareholders.

“This fruit wine is for women.” Daniel picked up the glass of fruit wine from the tray in the waitress’s hand and gave it to Emily.

She took it and joined him in toasting with everyone, saying goodbye to the old year and happy new year.

She did not expect that in just the last few months of the year, her life would change so much. She felt a bit dizzy.

At this time, the leader of SM Investment Company also stepped on stage, thanked the customers, and officially announced the start of the party.

The large screen continuously displays photos capturing moments when the company cooperates with partners and captions below.

Emily’s eyes accidentally stopped on the screen right when a photo of Kevin and the director of SM investment company appeared.

On the day of signing the contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars, she was also present. Suddenly, she felt a little proud of herself for having accompanied him in that important signing ceremony.

“Quickly send the wine there.” Jennifer said quickly as she passed a waitress.

The waitress agreed and quickly picked up the wine tray and walked towards the young businessmen who were chatting loudly.

The glass of wine in Emma’s hand was just empty and she reached out to signal the waiter to stop so she could get a glass of wine, but the waitress pretended not to see and walked straight ahead.

“I heard that the waiters here have a very professional service attitude.” She frowned, looking a bit dissatisfied.

Kevin shook his head. He was also a bit confused by the waitress’s actions just now, so he tried to see which direction she was going and then he realized she was busy refilling wine for the group of businessmen standing in the distance.

Among the crowd, Kevin could still see the familiar silhouettes of his younger brother and his future wife.

The young male businessmen all brought their girlfriends or assistants, but the girls were now discussing makeup, cosmetics, and fashion together. Only Emily did not leave Daniel’s side.

To be more precise, Daniel was holding her hand tightly, not letting her take a single step away from him. He is afraid of life like books and movies. He was afraid that some girl would try to harm her because they were jealous of her.

That’s why the only glass of fruit wine on the tray easily reached Emily’s hand.

When the male businessmen found out that Emily was a young fashion designer, they immediately asked for her phone number to order her to make dresses for their girlfriends and mothers as a way to please Daniel.

Jennifer smiled with satisfaction when she saw Emily take a sip of wine. She quickly pulled out her phone and texted Reid.

There was music here, quite noisy, so she was sure Emily would go to the bathroom area to answer the phone. Wait until that glass of wine is empty, then she will use this phone sim to call and lure the target.

While Jennifer was staring at Emily and silently urging Emily to drink quickly, the phone in Emily’s hand suddenly displayed a message from Mr. Peter’s wife, a new partner of Unicons Group.

They made an appointment for her and Kevin to have dinner and discuss cooperation on upcoming projects, but she forgot.

“Daniel, I forgot to remind Kevin about the appointment, now they are waiting for him and me at Sunset restaurant.” She pulled Daniel out of the crowd, showed him the phone to see the message, and said.

“So now…”

“I’ll go call him and come there. The following projects have great value, we cannot let them think wrongly about our company. I’ll go first.”

After saying that, Emily handed her unfinished glass of fruit wine to Daniel and quickly walked towards Kevin. Today, Emma is wearing a very striking red dress so she is easy to recognize.

Daniel shook his head when he saw that his future wife was no different from a little girl worried because she had just done something wrong. He is very happy because she considers the Unicons group as her home.

“Okay, let me change my shirt and then I’ll go. Mr. Peter doesn’t like white, he thinks white is mourning and bad luck. Please text his wife back and say we’re stuck in traffic so we’ll be a little late.”

After saying that, Kevin put down the glass of wine that still had a little wine left in it and quickly left the banquet hall. Emily also ran after him.

Seeing that she was with his brother, Daniel felt extremely reassured. He stopped looking at her slender, flustered figure and focused on talking to everyone.

In just a moment, Emma’s side was filled with only business partners with the Unicons group, and to her, they were just strangers. Her legs unconsciously brought her gradually closer to Daniel.

“I don’t know what else to say. Boss and assistant.” Daniel happily spoke up when he saw her standing next to him.

“Later, after giving birth, she will probably forget her husband.” A man laughed loudly and teased Daniel.

The short conversation between the two of them just now reached the ears of a talkative guy standing nearby, so everyone quickly knew why Emily ran away in a hurry.

As for Jennifer, when she saw Emily following Kevin, she was extremely angry and quickly ran after them.

If Emily became aroused in the presence of her husband’s brother, either Daniel would be called by Kevin, or the doctor would be called and Reid wouldn’t have a chance to act.

“Emily, what’s wrong?” Kevin was surprised when Emily suddenly stopped.

“Oh, I’ll go to the bathroom for a moment. Please change your shirt and go to the parking lot. I will wait for you out there.”

After speaking, she quickly turned into the women’s restroom. She only drank a few glasses of light fruit wine, but why was her body so hot and uncomfortable right now?

Her steps were unsteady, she almost fell several times and had to use her hands to hold on to the wall to walk.

Jennifer was extremely happy to see Emily change direction. She also quickly entered the women’s restroom and took out her phone to text Reid, telling him to come quickly.

Just now, Emily only drank a sip of wine, so Jennifer was extremely worried, not knowing if that small amount of medicine was enough to change her body or not.

Inside the bathroom, Emily fumbled around, trying to find a way to stand firmly on her high heels.

The handbag fell from her hand, fell to the floor, slid through the gap below the door, and quickly entered Jennifer’s sight.

Knowing this was a rare opportunity, Jennifer immediately took out the perfume bottle from her handbag, unscrewed the cap, and put it in Emily’s handbag.

Because she was so hasty, she almost spilled the entire bottle of perfume on the floor, but luckily it only spilled a little on her hands.
