Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 740

Madison looked serious. “You can never be certain. You two are experts at winning favor. You saw Dad’s attitude that day; other than them, did he look kindly at anyone else? So, we need to be wary of those two, so all our hard work doesn’t go to waste at the critical moment.”

Jackson’s voice was chilling. “Don’t worry, it’s a done deal. I won’t let them mess it up.”

Madison shrugged. “I’ll assume I’m just overthinking things.”

Just then, a commotion erupted at the entrance. Someone announced, “Merrick is here.”

Eric then walked in, assisting the patriarch, followed by several staff members.

Madison glanced at the entrance. “Let’s go, Dad’s here.” She walked over first, and Jackson quickly followed after downing the red wine in his glass.

Immediately, nearly everyone from the Philips family surrounded Merrick.

Merrick looked at the crowd and smiled. “Today marks the first time Philips Corp has held its anniversary gala in Dracovia. Thank you all for coming. I ask for your understanding if there are any shortcomings in our hospitality.”

“Nonsense, you are too kind! It is an honor for us to be invited by you.”

“Yes, we owe our development here in Dracovia over the years to your brilliant decisions.”

“I think you should come back every year and meet with us. That would deepen our cooperation even further.”

Merrick smiled. “I promise I will meet with our Dracovia partners every year from now on. After all, the tremendous development of Philips Corp over the years is closely linked to all of you. Without you, Philips Corp wouldn’t be where it is today.”

The surrounding guests spoke one after another. Merrick was in a rare good mood today, so he chatted with everyone for a bit longer than usual.

Not far away, Ivanov was slowly eating a plate of dessert. Audrey stood beside him. “Grandfather is here. Why aren’t you going over?”

Ivanov glanced toward Merrick. “Do you think I can even push my way through? I didn’t expect Grandfather to be so popular in Dracovia; this is rare in Murica.” He then put a piece of cake in his mouth.

Audrey smiled smugly. “Of course. Oh, right, I heard a thief stole your wallet last night.”

“How did you know that?” Ivanov asked irritably. “My mother, honestly, she tells everyone! It’s embarrassing.”

Audrey chuckled. “What’s the big deal? It’s your fault for going to places like that. They’re crowded, the environment is poor, and they’re unhygienic. They’re breeding grounds for thieves. Besides, with your image as a rich man, who else would they target? If you went to a restaurant, you wouldn’t encounter

things like that.”

Ivanov smiled mysteriously. “I ran into a beautiful girl, even though I ran into a thief. You wouldn’t believe her fighting skills! She took the lamb skewer in her hand and literally pinned the thief to the ground. Her move was incredibly cool!”

Audrey looked at Ivanov, who was clearly smitten, and retorted dismissively, “What kind of beauty could you possibly find in a place like that? I think you’re dreaming.”

Ivanov stopped smiling and glared at Audrey. “Believe it or not. It’s a shame, though, I didn’t ask her name.”

At this point, Merrick, needing to avoid overexertion, was helped by Eric to sit in the lounge area. Madison, Linette, and Tracy followed him. Houis and Jackson continued to greet guests.
