On Sunday, Steven rented a seaplane, picked up Tiffany, and flew to Darling Harbour. The dinner was held at the International Convention and Exhibition Centre.The shore of Darling Harbor was full of luxury yachts and seaplanes. Steven circled the harbor several times before waiting for a berth.

Tiffany, wearing a black low-cut evening dress, holding a black handbag inlaid with pearls, and holding the arm of Steven in a formal suit, stepped into the hall gracefully.There are already many guests in the hall, the women are full of jewels, and the men are handsome. Everyone is holding wine glasses and chatting in twos and threes.

On the big screen in the front hall, videos of children's life and study sent by volunteer families were scrolling to express congratulations to the annual meeting.

Aimo and Aina stood near the front hall, constantly greeting the guests. When they saw them coming in, they raised their glasses at the same time, Aina to Steven, Aymo to Tiffany.A mature, middle-aged couple stood next to them.

"That's the Minister of Education, Mr. and Mrs. Broad." Tiffany said, her eyes were immediately attracted by Aina. Aina's exquisite figure was wrapped in a silver-gray one-shoulder evening dress, and her upper body was covered with glitter. Shining rhinestones, the skirt is split on the upper left thigh, revealing a slender and sexy leg, a string of diamond necklaces is worn on the graceful neck, the hair is pulled into a high bun, the makeup is exquisite and decent, and the demeanor is elegant and luxurious. She is the most beautiful woman in the audience.

"Wow, Aina is so beautiful today, more eye-catching than the movie star Arizona!" Tiffany glanced at a woman in a red dress, stared back at Aina, and exclaimed, "She didn't know how to dress like this before!"

Steven understood at a glance that it was Vincent's dressing taste.

"Your president is also very handsome!" He looked at Aimo, who was wearing a dark blue formal suit and a bow tie. His hair was neatly combed back, without any mess, and his face was handsome and beautiful.

"Yes, let me tell you, on Friday, the president wore a casual outfit to work for the first time. He was young and handsome, with a recently popular abstinence temperament. He was really charming! Recently in the company, the president He always has a smile on his face and is very gentle with others. Everyone says that being with him is like enjoying the spring breeze. I don’t know why the president has changed so much in this period of time.” Tiffany said about Aimo with great spirits.

"Maybe he was like this." Steven looked at Aimo, imagining that if he wore an evening dress, he would definitely amaze the audience. Back then, Vincent would never have missed any banquet he attended with Vincent. Is the most beautiful person in the audience.

A wine waiter passed by, and Steven took a glass of wine for Tiffany and himself.

"No!" Tiffany shook her head and took the wine that Steven handed her: "Thank you! If the president was like this at that time, he would have fascinated more than half of the women in our company."

"The way he looks will captivate more than half of the men in your company." Steven said in his heart, keeping his eyes on Aimo, recalling the feeling he felt when he saw Vincent's photo for the first time.

Tiffany looked around the hall and raised his glass: "Hi, Gabriela!"

Steven also smiled at Gabriela.

Tiffany said: "That's Wilbur Bullard, the richest man in Australia, and his fifth wife, Nicole." She pointed to the old gentleman next to the Gabriellas and the beautiful girl in her twenties beside him, At this time, the eyes of the old couple and the young wife were looking in the same direction. The eyes of the old man Wilbur circled around Aina lovingly, while the eyes of the young wife Nicole stared at Aymo tenderly.

"I saw it at the World Economic Forum this year, the fifth term. It seems that the old man has a young heart!" Steven joked, he kind of hated the way Nicole looked at Aimo as a married man.

"Wilbur's first four wives all died accidentally." Tiffany said casually, and then nuzzled at a pair of luxurious couples in their 50s nearby, saying:

"That's Edward Loren and his wife, the directors of Beaufrey Investment Company. Before our company developed, Beaufrey Investment Company was the leader in the investment industry in Australia. After Mr. Roberts took control of Gregor, he was always in business. Beaufrey has never been able to restrain them, and in recent years, the couple has gradually adjusted and shifted the company's main business to other fields."

"Then they should hate your president." Steven said.

"Haha, this is the genius of the president. When doing business, he can stab your waist and make you smile at him." Tiffany said proudly.

"You make your president look so insidious." Steven said, he thought, Tiffany really deserves to be the head of the human resources department, and he can always hit the nail on the head.

"No, no!" Tiffany said sternly: "Although our president is unpredictable, there is a magnet-like soul under his body, which has an invisible attraction to the people around him. Whether we become friends or rivals with him If you are still a colleague, you will feel very honored, and if you can come to work in the company, you will have a profound experience."

"I understand it better than anyone else," Steven said in his heart.

After walking around the venue and chatting with familiar people, Steven and Tiffany found a seat and sat down.

The dinner officially began, and the guests took their seats.

auction?The Roberts family?Steven suddenly remembered the world's largest auction house "Thorpud", and its largest shareholder was the Roberts family.In the middle of the eighteenth century, Thorpud was established in England by the first generation of Roberts. It has risen and fallen in the economic wave of more than 200 years and has become stronger and stronger.After World War I, the Roberts family moved to the United States, establishing Thorpud's headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts.Taking advantage of its unique advantages, the Roberts family actively collects while auctioning, and has accumulated a large number of priceless collections for more than 200 years.After World War II, Thorpud was listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and the Roberts family continued to hold Thorpud. At the same time, they bought stocks in other fields as widely as collections.With stocks and collections, the family's wealth is difficult for outsiders to estimate.At present, David Roberts is the president of Thorpud, and its branches have opened to more than 40 countries. The online auction business is booming year by year. Last year, Thorpud held auctions around the world with a market value close to [-] billion.

Could it be that Elmo Roberts is related to the Roberts family?Steven curiously took out his mobile phone and searched for news about the Roberts family on the Internet.

The information jumped out line by line, most of which were related to the auction. He kept scrolling back and forth, and found the news seven years ago: "The Roberts Family Finds Missing Family Members". The most detailed information about this matter is recorded as follows: Thorpud's current president, David Roberts, has a deceased brother named George Roberts.Back then, George was out with his wife and children, and his car collided with a truck on the mountain road. The car fell into the valley, and both husband and wife died. The three-month-old nephew Elmo Roberts was thrown out of the car window on the mountainside and rolled down. On the side of the road, he was taken away by passers-by and has been reported as a missing person with the state police.After the technological level was reached, David and his brother George's wife's mother stored their genes in the Missing Persons Center to search for the missing children all over the world.By chance, Aimo was injured in an accident and was found through genetic comparison. He officially returned to the family and inherited his parents' property.Later, with the support of his grandfather and uncle, Aimo returned to Australia, where he grew up, to develop his personal career.

There is a group photo of the Roberts family on the Internet. The family of grandparents, uncles and aunts, as well as Aimo, are a big family happily together. Henry knows that the news on the Internet is true and reliable just by looking at his appearance.

It turned out that his name was really Elmo Roberts!Steven suddenly realized.
