Chapter 310

Chapter 310 But with Stewart and Kenton here, running into Charlene at this kind of gathering didn’t seem all that surprising after all.

Abelard hadn’t expected to bump into his son here, either. He asked, “Here for some networking?”

Dalton replied, “Yeah.”

Geoffrey chuckled, “Abelard, is this your son?”

Abelard nodded with a smile, replying, “Yes, that’s him.”

“Quite the impressive young man,” Geoffrey remarked.

Geoffrey, Darius, and Dalton were well aware of who these folks were. Dalton knew his father had a decent rapport with them.

However, Geoffrey, Darius, and Kenton were always busy, and despite their familiarity with his father, Dalton had never actually met them himself.

When Geoffrey greeted him, Dalton made sure to shake his hand and replied, “Thank you, sir.”

Just then, he noticed Vesta and Henley Hawkins stepping out of a sleek car.

Dalton was momentarily taken aback.

Henley and Vesta, upon spotting Dalton, Kenton, Darius, and the others, were equally surprised.

It was rare to see even one of these influential figures, let alone all of them gathered in one place.

Naturally, they also saw Charlene and Stewart.

Stewart was Kenton’s student, and with PrimeStar’s success, he was a point of pride for Kenton. It made sense, that Kenton was introducing him to some important connections. Like Dalton, they assumed that Charlene was leveraging Stewart’s connections to meet influential figures like Kenton and Darius.

Truth be told, regardless of whose connections they were leveraging, meeting Darius and Kenton was a privilege in its own right.

They’d heard about Kenton’s extensive network before, but seeing the caliber of people he knew firsthand was something else entirely!

They also recognized Hickey and Abelard.

Vesta knew them as York and Dalton’s fathers, respectively.

As Dalton glanced their way, Vesta acknowledged him with a nod and a smile.

Noticing Dalton’s attention, Abelard followed his line of sight.

He wasn’t familiar with Vesta and Henley, but seeing Dalton’s interest, he asked, “Friends of yours?”

Dalton nodded, “Yeah.”

Vesta and Henley made their way over.

Watching them approach, Stewart nearly rolled his eyes.

Charlene’s expression remained unchanged.

Dalton introduced them, “This is Mr. Hawkins and his daughter, Vesta.”

Dalton’s demeanor subtly shifted when he looked at Vesta.

Abelard raised an eyebrow. He noted Vesta’s striking appearance and elegance, thinking Dalton had good taste. Seeing Dalton’s eagerness to introduce them, he politely shook hands with Henley and Vesta.

1/2 14:01 Hickey, who had met Vesta before, knew she was Thorne’s girlfriend.

As Vesta walked over, he glanced at Charlene.

Although Charlene didn’t show any emotion on her face, Hickey could feel the chill in the air when she noticed Henley and Vesta.

He knew she and Thorne had been married but was unaware of the details of their divorce. Seeing her cold reaction towards Vesta, a suspicion formed in his mind.

After greeting Abelard, Vesta turned to Kenton and politely said, “Mr. Wagner,”

Kenton nodded coolly, not offering further conversation.

Thorne had mentioned before that Kenton was reserved with everyone, not just with her specifically.
