Gossip about Eva Ronan and Max Shaw confessing their love on the spot spread like a hurricane to every corner of the banquet hall.
One is a new partner, the other is the chairman's sister; combining their identities, it's a powerful alliance.
Even if there were doubts about Max Shaw's identity, rumors from nowhere claimed that Max Shaw belonged to the Shaw family in River City.
Whether true or not, there would always be people who believed it.
At this moment, the banquet was still in full swing, with business tycoons exhausting all means to mingle and network.
Max Shaw was brought around by Henry Ronan to communicate with partners, while Eva Ronan and Lucy Ansley sat in the lounge area eating cake.
"Did you already know about tonight's event?"
Eva Ronan pushed a fruit platter in front of Lucy Ansley, asking as she pinched her cheek.
"How could I? I'm just as surprised." Lucy Ansley shook her head, feigning ignorance.
