"Where is Mr. Zabel?"

"Outside. I just heard that Mr. Sanders is here," aman whispered.

"Mr. Sanders? Which one?" The questioner wasconfused. Yrinas did have a CEO named "Sanders," but he only owned a second-classcompany. It didn't seem to have anything to do with Kendrick's disappearance.

The person who answered the question glared at the questioner and then pointed his finger upwards. "It's Mr. Sanders from the leading status."

The questioner was in shock. "You mean Lionel…”

"All right, let's stop here. Since the news hasn'tspread yet, let's go say hi."

The two stood up as they were still in conversation. The rest of the people at their table did the same at the exact moment. Everyone looked at each other but didn't utter a word, maintaining a tacit understanding.

More people were gathering at the hotel entrance.

A trace of dissatisfaction appeared on Lionel's face, and he was just about to speak.

"Mr. Sanders, Yrinas has produced anoutstanding entrepreneur! Ha!" Michael laughed.

Michael's words caused Lionel to rephrase his words. The latter smiled."Mr. Sullivan, I thought you came from Xandenia to catch up with me. But it was for work!"

Lionel had known about Michael's purpose in Yrinas beforehand. But since Michael had brought it up, Lionel decided to go along with the former.

"Tell me—which entrepreneur is worth yourtime? What a coincidence that so many familiar faces are here today."

When Lionel spoke, there were already many people gathered there. They had all gone out after receiving the news.

He was making small talk when he mentioned there being many familiar faces.

In reality, only a few people were qualified to establish a relationship with Lionel.

Everyone around them smiled obsequiously, but all of them were contemplating in their hearts, "Mr. Sullivan deliberately came down from Xandenia! The only company related to Xandenia is Zabel Group. Could Mr. Sanders come here from Xandenia today to help boost Zabel Group?"

When the crowd thought of that, they couldn't help but gasp."Zabel Group is so influential! Judging from the interaction between Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Sanders, Mr. Sullivan must be some big shot himself! Zabel Group's deep roots are amazing! They can even invite such a big shot just for an engagement party!”

More and more people in the banquet hall got the news and started surrounding the group outside.

The reporters arranged by Zabel Group also had a k een sense, and they instantly pinpointed the key location and began to report.

Spencer and Lena were receiving guests in the banquet hall. When they heard the news, they also walked toward the hotel entrance.

"See? This is the influence of Zabel Group." Thecorner of Lena's lips went up involuntarily. "It's just an engagement party, but even the big boss from Xandenia and the second boss of Yrinas are here in person. This is how capable we are!"

"Okay. Keep a low profile." Spencer was a littlecautious. Though everyone could see those bosses approaching, it would be wiser not to talk about it publicly.

"What's wrong? Isn't that true?" Lena rolled hereyes.

They had already arrived at the hotel entrance while still talking and noticed Michael first.

Michael was quite influential in Xandenia. He was responsible for poverty alleviation in the mountainous district. Although the project wasn't held in the center of Xandenia, no one dared to underestimate him.

Everyone knew that once the issue in the mountainous district was resolved, Michael might be able to climb up the career ladder leading to the municipal hall's central authority.

Lena had heard that a boss from Xandenia would be coming, but she didn't expect that it would be a big shot like Michael.

Lena's eyes twinkled, and she stepped forward to greet Michael."Mr. Sullivan, welcome!"

When Spencer noticed the twinkle in Lena's eyes, he felt a bad premonition, but it was too late to stop her.
