“Bran Cook!”

Upon seeing the handsome man, Flower Falls and Hampton Ridge quickly stood up and said with obsequious smiles, “Just now I was thinking, why is there a surge of handsomeness approaching us? I guess it’s Bran Cook coming over, and sure enough, it’s you!”

“Yeah, yeah! With such a presence, Bran Cook, who knows how many young ladies you’ll charm tonight!”

The two didn’t hide their bootlicking when they saw Bran Cook.

They were just short of stripping naked and lying down on Bran Cook’s bed voluntarily.

Of course, if Bran Cook nodded his approval, they would hate not to rush over immediately.

“Haha, you two flatter me. Cook here is but poorly learned and only gets by with the help of friends,” Bran Cook said with a chuckle. Today, he was dressed in a black tailcoat and with neatly trimmed short hair, and the unique fragrance of his cologne instantly attracted the eyes of many women.

Today’s banquet had many female socialites in attendance, their entry threshold being much lower than that for men.

After all, the atmosphere of a party relies on women.

When emotions are stirred and hormones are raging, these wealthy second-generation individuals also need an outlet.

“Bran Cook, you jest. With your outstanding appearance, you are a role model for successful people wherever you go. Unlike some people, born to be parasites who live off others, it’s unbelievable how vast the difference between people can be,” said Hampton Ridge with a mix of sarcasm and flattery, trying to curry favor with Bran Cook while indirectly insulting Julius Reed.

In Gonzalez City, the most well-known for living off others is this son-in-law of the Radcliffe Family.

After all, he has been the talk of the town for as long as three years.

Only a select few in Gonzalez City are aware of the series of changes; people like them have no idea how formidable Julius Reed really is.

“Don’t speak like that! Every trade has its master, and living off others is a skill too. I would love to live such a carefree life, but as a man, I’m not allowed to do that. I’d rather struggle with my own hands to drive a Jetta than rely on others and ride in a Benz, only to be ridiculed behind my back,” Bran Cook said earnestly, holding a glass of wine.

He had long been aware of Quella Radcliffe’s situation. In fact, a long time ago, the Cook Family had considered a marriage alliance with the Radcliffe Family, but since Bran Cook had never met Quella Radcliffe at that time, he didn’t have any special feelings about it.

Then Julius Reed appeared out of nowhere, causing the Cook family’s people to discard the idea.

However, when Bran Cook returned to Gonzalez City this time, he happened to see Quella Radcliffe at a conference for entrepreneurs and, after some inquiries, learned she was the woman who nearly became his wife.

If he had not known before, it would have been fine, but now that he knew, it felt like an obsession.

No matter when he closed his eyes, he saw Quella Radcliffe’s contemplative face.

Women are enchanting; beautiful women are even more so.

For a woman so beautiful and distinguished, and also the female president of a group, she was simply the ultimate gem in a man’s heart!

Every man with a sense of conquest would be eager to try.

Hearing that Quella Radcliffe was married at first made him quite regretful.

Then, through his subordinates’ briefing, he learned that their three-year marriage was in name only, and Quella Radcliffe was still a maiden.

And just recently, the two of them had actually divorced!

Learning this news, Bran Cook was so excited he couldn’t sleep, but what thrilled him even more was that the Radcliffe Group had fallen into a financial crisis.

Quella Radcliffe was borrowing money everywhere, only to be met with rejection, even from the banks!

To Bran Cook, this was an opportunity bestowed by heaven!

Opportunities like this are fleeting and may never come again!

Therefore, he brought various gifts and antiques filled with cash to the Radcliffe household and struck up a conversation with Knox Ridge.

Who knew that Quella Radcliffe’s mother was a complete money-grubber? After hearing about the matter, she took the initiative to get things rolling.

Although Bran Cook looked down on Knox Ridge’s petty peasant mentality and even despised it, having such a mother to egg him on made things much easier for him.

In the end, he gathered a few of Quella Radcliffe’s reasonably decent high school friends to plan this party, aiming to propose to her here.

So when Hampton Ridge and others suppressed Julius Reed, he had to chime in, showcasing his own uniqueness.

So young, yet earning billions a year, even in the capital, many prominent families wanted to marry their daughters to him.

But Bran Cook still refused.

“Hmph! Just take care of your own business, eating a soft rice? Can anyone do it? Maybe some people like to eat soft rice,” Anna Harris was no fool; she naturally grasped the insinuation in their words.

They were hitting at the mulberry tree while cursing the locust tree, ridiculing Julius Reed.

In fact, Anna Harris knew how formidable Julius Reed was. She really wanted to tell them that the man they belittled for ‘eating soft rice’ was stronger than many, but Julius Reed had once asked her to keep a secret, and she had to hold it in.

“This little girl has quite a sharp tongue, quite adorable indeed!” The expression on Bran Cook’s face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

Since she was Quella Radcliffe’s close friend, he had to leave a good impression.

“You’re the one with a sharp tongue, your whole family has sharp tongues!”

Anna Harris snapped, this was no party; it was clearly a trap!

Looking again at Quella Radcliffe’s two classmates, anger flickered in her eyes.

What kind of classmates were they? Weren’t they just pimps?

Gossip woman from Water Margin?

“Mr. Smith is here too; only Julius Reed, the Strong man, is missing!”

She cursed inwardly.

Meanwhile, Julius Reed, standing at the entrance, sneezed without knowing why.

“How can you talk to Bran Cook like that! Mind your language!” Seeing the way Anna Harris spoke, a young man stepped forward from behind Bran Cook, pointing at Anna Harris and about to scold her.

He was wearing a tank top with a White Tiger tattooed on his body, obviously not a good sort.

“Hey! Aaron Martin, don’t scare the comrade. I’ve told you about this many times, don’t be so rude, try to be more gentlemanly. It’s just a girl talking, she was only joking, and here you are, looking fierce and terrifying!” Bran Cook said sternly.

“Yes! You’re right, Bran Cook, I’ll change,” Aaron Martin quickly said with a forced smile.

“Bran Cook is truly a gentleman. I don’t know which girl is so fortunate to be able to marry you,” Hampton Ridge looked at Bran Cook with infatuated eyes. She wanted to be Bran Cook’s plaything, but she didn’t even have the qualifications to be a toy.

Flower Falls also nodded, “Exactly, Bran Cook just doesn’t fancy me, otherwise I would definitely throw myself at him! Where else can you find such a handsome and accomplished gentleman with such grace?”

The two of them spoke so eagerly because they had received five hundred thousand from Bran Cook; they wanted to set him up with Quella Radcliffe.

After all, Bran Cook had promised three million to each of them if the deal went through!

This was an astronomical sum for them, perhaps they couldn’t earn that much money in a lifetime!

“Miss Radcliffe, I’ve heard that despite your young age, you are already a corporate president. Mr. Cook very much wants to get to know you. On the flight back from the capital to Gonzalez City, I had heard of your accomplishments. What a pleasure to meet you!”

Bran Cook raised his glass with a smile on his face. “Will you do me the honor of a drink?”
