With his repeated assurances, Marcy didn't say anything more.

She quickly washed up and then accompanied him downstairs for breakfast.

In the morning, Zhou Si went directly to the company to handle some matters.

The anniversary banquet officially began in the afternoon.

The banquet was specially chosen to be held at the estate hotel under the Lantes Group.

This venue is not only elegant but also fully equipped, making it ideal for hosting such a grand event.

In addition to shareholders, the guests invited to the banquet included members of the Lantes family, senior company executives, and clients who had cooperated with Lantes for many years.

Including prominent business leaders from the capital, many of them were invited to attend!

When Zhou Si arrived at the banquet, the old man and David were already there.

David was hospitalized for a while, and the burns on his face were minor and no longer visible.

As for the more severe cases, they have already scabbed over.

Today, he was wearing a neat suit, which covered everything up, so there was virtually no indication that he had been injured.

Upon seeing Zhou Si, the old man couldn't help but praise him.

He said, "Ah Si, this anniversary banquet was very well organized. The venue setup, the event arrangements, and the reception of the guests were all very well done."

However, where are the two heads of the Fu Group and the Jiang Group?

Zhou Si calmly replied, "Something must have delayed me. I'll be there later, no rush."

Hearing Zhou Si's words, the old man's doubts dissipated considerably, and he nodded in satisfaction.

The higher the status and position of the guests attending this anniversary celebration, the greater LANTES's standing and influence in the business world will be.

Once Zhou Si announces the merger of the two companies, Lantes will return to its former glory and become the focus of industry attention.

The old man beamed with joy at the thought.

As the two spoke, more guests entered the venue, and the two went to greet them hand in hand, making the scene even more lively and extraordinary.

On the other side, Isa coldly watched this scene unfold before her.

In the past, at such banquets, she and her son were always among the main characters, enjoying the treatment of being the center of attention.

But today, the situation is quite different.

The number of wealthy women who used to come and curry favor with him has decreased significantly.

Even if there is some respect, it's just superficial politeness; you can't really see much respect in their eyes.

Everyone knows that her status in the Lantes family is not what it used to be.

Mrs. Lantes was powerless and insignificant, merely a figurehead, possessing only the title.

It could even be said that she is now nothing more than David's appendage, and has no real value to him anymore.

Looking back at that little beast Zhou Si, he has grown powerful and established a network of connections.

He has also made a name for himself in the business world and secured a place for himself.

Even seasoned veterans in the business world, who have been navigating the complexities of the market for years, have to take him seriously and give him a second glance.

Isabella's gaze grew increasingly somber.

If Zhou Si doesn't die today, then she will never have a chance to turn things around in the future.

This thought grew increasingly uncontrollable in her mind.

Once it gets dark, Zhou Si's death will be imminent.

Once he dies, everything will be settled.

Thinking of this, she pretended to fiddle with her hair, casually pressed her earring, and asked, "Dad, is everything arranged?"

On the other end came Eric's deep, powerful voice, "Don't worry, I'll make sure that kid is reduced to ashes and completely wiped out."

Once this major concern is resolved, William can return, and Lantes, you will be able to regain power and restore your former status.

As for what that kid is going to announce tonight, in the end, it will all become our stepping stone!

He paused slightly, his tone becoming serious, "However, you absolutely cannot let your guard down tonight; you must keep a close watch on things at all times."

If there are any changes, please let me know as soon as possible.

Especially that kid Zhou Si, he's cunning and we need to be extra careful. We absolutely cannot let him have any chance to take advantage of us.

Did you hear me?

"clear."

Isa gave a brief reply, then pressed the button on her earpiece and went to find David and the others.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, Tuya, along with several senior executives, was helping to receive the clients who came to attend the banquet.

Just then, Otti and Bella appeared at the venue, accompanied by their father and stepmother.

Her father and stepmother had known for a long time that she was still alive, but they had never seen her before.

Given their status and position, they shouldn't have come tonight.

It's a rare opportunity to receive an invitation, a chance to witness the luxury of high society, and to meet all sorts of influential figures and expand one's network.

They naturally couldn't bear to let it go.

However, the moment they saw Tuya...

Deep down, they were still somewhat fearful and guilty.

After all, a person who should have died long ago, a person who disappeared, suddenly reappears without any apparent reason.

This stark contrast and shock inevitably stirred up a storm in their hearts, leaving them feeling panicked and bewildered.

Tuya noticed their presence but pretended not to see them and continued with her own business.

Jiang Mojue and Fu Sichen also happened to be present.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Si immediately brought Tuya over to greet them.

The group all wore gentle smiles, and their conversation was much warmer than usual, making them seem more like old friends.

Aotai and his group also noticed the newcomers.

There was some distance between them, so I couldn't hear what they were talking about.

But among the family of four, it's clear that Tuya holds a special position.

Even important figures like Jiang Mojue and Fu Sichen treated her well.

Such a scene shocked and aroused their jealousy.

"I can't believe that little bitch is doing so well. She's really got lucky!"

Upon seeing this, Dai Li muttered something under her breath.

Bella, standing to the side, unconsciously clenched her fists, consumed by jealousy.

That's why she was so jealous.

The reason is that every man around that vile woman is an outstanding individual, exceptional in every way.

The Jiang family, the Fu family, and the Lantes.

Which one of them isn't a powerful figure in the business world, capable of wielding immense influence?

Even the assistants following behind him were all exceptionally handsome and had an extraordinary presence.

In comparison, Otai next to her was simply unbearable to look at and hard to stomach.

She thought to herself: If only it were me in this situation!

As for Tuya's father, his eyes were filled with complex emotions, a mixture of surprise and astonishment.

Unexpectedly, the abandoned girl turned out to be a blessing in disguise and was adopted by someone.

He successfully entered high society and came into contact with prominent figures whom he could never have met in his entire life.

He narrowed his eyes and said to the three of them, "We must make good use of her tonight and get her to introduce us to more resources, so that our trip will not have been in vain."
