Chapter 539

Mrs. Wright hurriedly looked toward the door and saw several cars pull

up in front of Golden Restaurant at the same time.

Inside the lead car, the door was opened and Mayor Cody stepped out

first, followed by Franklin and Sylvia.

And inside the ones behind were some of Mayor Cody's men, and the

last car was the six students who were sponsored to study in town.

Mayor Cody was dressed in a gray suit and looked very elegant. As

soon as he looked up, he saw Mrs. Wright in the doorway. Mrs. Wright

looked at him with red eyes, "Cody!"

"What are you excited about? We are an old married couple.” Mayor

Cody laughed brightly and patted Mrs. Wright's shoulder. "Don't make

everyone laugh at us."

Sylvia took Franklin's arm and the two of them approached Mrs. Wright

together, "Sis, it's been a long time."

"Sylvia..." Mrs. Wright felt a pang in her heart, "Didn't you come back a

few days ago to go to that meeting or whatever? Why did you run to the

disaster area again?"

"After attending it, I went back to the disaster area, or I wouldn't be

eased.” Sylvia's face was so beautiful that it glowed in the midday sun.

Franklin saw Mrs. Wright and called out softly, "Auntie."

"Franklin, you've lost all your weight. You've always been a picky eater,

so I guess you didn't even eat well in the disaster area, right?"

Mrs. Wright was distraught, “Come on, let's hurry inside."

With that, she ordered Brayden, "Brayden, take everyone inside their

respective boxes and make arrangements, do you hear me?"

“I know, Mom."

Brayden immediately began arranging for the rest of those personnel.

Vita stood at the end of the crowd, looking at the lobby of the

magnificent Golden Restaurant Hotel with an awe-inspiring look on her

face.

It was really too luxurious!

She had never been in a place so beautiful and extravagant.

Her gaze fell on Brayden and Jenna, who were not far away.

The young girl wore a snow-white coat, inside the coat was a pink

dress, and on the feet were a pair of white boots. She looked like Snow

White.

Vita then looked at her own plain clothes, and suddenly jealousy grew

in her chest!

She followed the crowd into a private room.

The interior box was very luxuriously decorated.

Several of their students were alone in a box, and one of Mayor Cody's

men was a young man who accompanied several of them.

Because they were children from the village, they had never been to

this kind of place, and were somewhat amazed and restrained.

The young man greeted them with a smile, "Have a seat. This hotel is

Mr. Maskelyne's property. Feel free to eat whatever you want.”

Vita swept glances over a few other students with contempt.

They were so scared to move their forks.

At this time in another box.

Mrs. Wright and Mayor Cody and Sylvia got together.

“There will be a celebration party in the evening, and a reception from

the top." Mayor Cody sighed, "Franklin and Sylvia need to be there by

then. You guys contribute a lot this time."

“Then why are you sighing?" Mrs. Wright frowned, a bad feeling rising

up in her heart.

"I took credit for disaster relief, but..." Mayor Cody's eyebrows were

slightly knitted.

“I heard that someone was reporting me recently.”

"Pak!"

Mrs. Wright's fork fell to the floor and she looked at Mayor Cody with a

pale face, "How could this happen? Cody, you are white-handed and

have never done anything wrong to the country and the people, how

could someone report you?"

“I'm not sure. This matter needs more investigation." Mayor Cody

helped her get another fork, “You don't have to worry too much, honey.

I've been getting merits lately, so maybe someone is jealous of me."

“Let's hope so."

Mrs. Wright took the fork, but her eyebrows couldn't stop popping.

Sylvia and Franklin looked at each other.

She mused for a moment and said, "Cody, do you want me to help you

find out who is reporting you?"

"No, it's just a small thing." Mayor Cody waved his hand; he didn't want

to bother Sylvia. "You are busy enough. For the celebration party in the

evening, you two must be careful. Too many senior officials will be

there. A wrong word will cause endless troubles.”

"Don't worry." Franklin nodded, grateful for Mayor Cody's reminder.

“It's a good thing Brayden didn't become a politician, or I would really

be ..." Mayor Cody was depressed.

"Dad, why are you in such a low mood? It's been a long time since we

got together. We should be happy!" Brayden spoke up to comfort

Mayor Cody.

Jenna picked dishes for Mayor Cody, "Godfather, you do not think too

much, it's fine as long as we are together.”

"You two are sweet." Mayor Cody reluctantly smiled; disaster relief was

a good opportunity to get credit and merits, and it meant everyone

craved for it.

He had been in the limelight this time, and it made sense that some of

his rivals wanted to drag him down.

It doesn't matter if he goes down, he's just worried about these

children.

Especially Brayden and Jenna.

Sylvia and Franklin were strong and powerful, so he didn't have to

worry about them.

The more he thought about it, the more chaotic and uncomfortable his

heart became.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the box.

A few of them looked at each other. They had clearly instructed the

waiter not to disturb. Who was outside?

Mayor Cody said in a deep voice, "Come in."

The door of the box was pushed open. A 17 or 18-year-old girl standing

at the door. The girl was dressed plainly and looked very lovely.

She was holding up a glass of wine and walked in carefully.

Sylvia looked at the girl calmly. She had an excellent memory,

immediately recognized that she was the girl who gave fish and shrimp

to Mayor Cody.

What was she doing here?

She was wondering when she heard the girl's voice ring out, "I ... I'd

like to propose a toast to Master Brayden for saving my life the other

day."

Brayden shot an expressionless look at her, "Who are you? When did I

ever save you?"

Vita's shyness and excitement instantly vanished.

The smile on her face also froze, "Don't you remember? I ... It was you

who shielded me that day when the boulder fell.”

“Is there such a thing? How come I didn't know?" Brayden remained

unresponsive.

Jenna whispered, "Yes ... Where else would you have gotten that head

injury?"

Brayden looked at Jenna affectionately. What a little fool.

Can't she see he's deliberately saying he doesn't know the girl?

"Well, Jenna said I saved your life, so I saved your life." Brayden

remained indifferent, "It's just a small thing. You don't have to keep itin

your mind."
