Chapter 135 Dew was holding Duke’s arm.
It was her first time attending a banquet with Duke. She had looked forward to this for four years, and her wish finally came true tonight. She knew that George must have talked to Duke. Hence, this man had brought her to this important business banquet.
She had purposely dressed up for tonight.
She was wearing an $ 800,000-worth ocean starlight dress with Chanel’s new limited edition diamond necklace. Besides, the leather purse in her hand was also custom-made and unique in the world. Her outfit was destined to make her the most dazzling woman in the banquet.

Everyone in their circle knew that Duke rarely attended any business banquet. Even if he attended one, he always came alone.
It was their first time seeing Duke attend with a female partner.
Daugherty Corporation was also quite famous in Sea City. Besides, there had been some news not long ago. Many people in the hall recognized that the woman beside Duke was Ms. Dew Daugherty.
“When did Ms. Dew Daugherty get involved with Duke?”
“Didn’t the Winters family previously help the Daugherty family when they were in trouble? I think their relationship should be quite good.”
“I even heard that the Winters family and the Daugherty family have plans for an arranged marriage.”
“Are you sure? That’s not possible, right? Ten Daugherty families can’t even compare to one Winters family. Why would Duke marry Dew?”.
“Can’t you see it? Dew is Duke’s first female partner. It’s possible for her to marry into the Winters family.”
Dew heard the discussions around her.
She stood more confidently. She had to take this opportunity to be a part of the Winters family tonight.
She had to be Duke’s woman!
Only she could be Mrs. Winters!
“Mr. Winters, it’s been a while. You look younger.” A chubby middle-aged man walked over, raised his glass, and toasted to Duke.
Duke narrowed his eyes and sized the man up before he calmly replied, “Mr. Johnson, you should be twenty-two this year, right? Are you married?”
Mr. Johnson was a famous petroleum tycoon in Sea City. He had started his own business ten
years ago and ventured into the petroleum industry. He had earned a lot. However, he had worked very hard for his career’; to the point that it made him slightly bald. He mocked himself by stroking his bald head. “I look like this. No good woman would like me.” When he wanted to have fun, many women would go to him. But, if he was to get married, he still desired a lady from a reputable family.
“This is Ms. Daugherty. This is Mr. Johnson. You can get to know each other,” Duke said indifferently.
Mr. Johnson instantly stared at Dew.
Adina was the most beautiful woman in Sea City, and Dew was her stepsister, so she was naturally gorgeous too. On top of that, Dew had purposely dressed up tonight. One could say that she really was the most dazzling woman at the banquet.
Mr. Johnson rubbed his hands nervously. “Hi, Ms. Daugherty, I’m Adrian Johnson.” Dew smiled faintly. “Hi, Mr. Johnson. I’m Dew Daugherty.”
She was the general manager in Daugherty Corporation for four years, so she had naturally heard about Mr. Johnson. .
Whenever people in their circle talked about Mr. Johnso in their circle talked about Mr Johnson, they would describe him as a voung and capable man who had started his own business from scratch.
The Johnson family worked in the petroleum industry. In recent years, petroleum resources had been getting scarce, but the Johnson family’s business kept getting better and better.
They grew to become a new power in Sea City.
So, she knew Mr. Johnson was an important client to Winters Corporation.
