Chapter 736: 736: How Can So Many People Come Here

Edward Lopez parked the car at the entrance as well.

He stepped out of the car, handed the key to the waiter, and went in with Wendy Clarke.

After their invitations were checked, they walked in, but they hadn’t reached the banquet hall yet.

Edward Lopez stopped and whispered to Wendy Clarke, “I’ve brought you in here, but the rest is up to you. Don’t involve me in this matter.”

“Don’t worry,” Wendy Clarke whispered back. “This is a deal between the two of us, and I won’t forget that. I still want to cooperate in the future, so I can’t let you down this first time and jeopardize our future collaboration.”

Wendy Clarke had given up on having a relationship or marrying into the Lopez Family.

She realized that it was impossible.

Moreover, her relationship with Edward Lopez had unknowingly developed into a partnership.

That wasn’t bad, either.

As for whether their relationship would change in the future, that could be addressed later.

“I’ll text you later; then you can go in,” Edward Lopez said.

“Okay,” Wendy Clarke nodded.

Edward Lopez went to the banquet hall first, while Wendy Clarke looked around and hid elsewhere for the time being.

There was no one at the entrance of the banquet hall to check invitations.

After all, considering the guests, especially female guests, they would occasionally need to go to the restroom to touch up their makeup.

Would they have to check the invitation every time?

So, there was a checkpoint set up a short distance from the banquet hall.

That’s where they had just entered.

Once inside, no one would check again.

As soon as Edward Lopez entered the banquet hall, he quickly scanned the room.

It didn’t take long before he saw Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke.

Not all the guests had arrived yet.

Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke’s area was not surrounded by layers of people as he had expected.

It wasn’t that others weren’t interested.

All the guests present wanted to chat with them for a while.

One reason was Adrian Zhekova, and the other was the curiosity about Cindy Clarke.

After all, only a few people now knew Cindy Clarke’s identity.

Many others didn’t know.

Many of those present today were seeing Cindy Clarke for the first time.

Just by seeing how their gazes were focused on Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke from every corner of the banquet hall could tell that everyone was paying attention to them.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Everyone was watching.

The reason they didn’t approach was because the Big Eight families were all there!

Their presence was too intimidating.

It made people feel timid and dare not approach them easily.

Edward Lopez took a closer look.

Adrian Zhekova, Zane Hamilton, Zander Hamilton, Zachary Hamilton, Nathan Spencer, Bertrand York, Anders York, Christopher Smith, Benjamin Smith, Danny West, and Stanley West were all present.

Of course, this included their wives as well.

The children didn’t come.

But it was still astonishing.

How could there be so many people here this year!

When did the organizers become so influential!

In previous years, although members of the Big Eight families would attend and they would all be at Adrian Zhekova’s level.

However, not all of the siblings would be present.

For example, in the past, while Zachary Hamilton was in school and Zander Hamilton was in Europe.

Only Zane Hamilton attended as a representative.

Similarly, either Bertrand York or Anders York would attend, but not both.

As for Benjamin Smith and Christopher Smith, only one of them would attend as well.

The same went for Danny West and Stanley West.

It wasn’t necessarily determined who would attend, but as long as one person attended, the others wouldn’t come.

Sometimes they thought that having a representative was enough, while other times they were genuinely busy with work and couldn’t make it, so they sent a representative instead.
