Chapter 106:Passionate Confession
The Santana Group celebrated its centennial anniversary.
On that evening,
The entire top floor of the Capital Hotel was reserved by the group for the celebration.
The grand banquet hall was adorned with magnificent decorations, exuding a dazzling brilliance.
All the top executives and local employees of the company attended the celebration.
Just as the celebration ceremony was about to begin,
the entrance to the banquet hall was pushed open from the outside.
Susan, elegantly dressed in a dress adorned with artificial diamonds, entered the hall, shining brilliantly in twelve-centimeter high heels.
Her timing was perfect, precisely during the quietest moment in the entire banquet hall.
All eyes turned towards her.
She successfully became the center of attention.
Appearing to relish the attention, Susan stood tall, chest out, slender waist twisting, gracefully making her way towards the seating area.
Nancy spotted her in the crowd.
She sneered and asked Willis, sitting next to her, “Today is the centennial celebration of our Santana Group. Who invited this person? Was it you?”
Willis raised his chin, pointing towards Ryan who was currently on the stage speaking, “Other than your dad, I can’t think of anyone else.”
Nancy snorted, “I think it’s him too.”
Afterwards, she added, “He’s the only blind one in our whole family.”
Willis chuckled.
Next to them, Bruce covered his mouth, cleared his throat, and said, “Susan was invited by me. At the beginning of the year, I heard her mention that she wanted to attend our company’s anniversary celebration. Considering the good relations between the Santana family and the Varley family, I invited her.”
Bruce Santana was the son of Ryan and his ex-girlfriend Alva Swift before marriage.
He grew up in the Swift family.
Nancy wasn’t familiar with him and didn’t continue the conversation.
In the vast banquet hall filled with people, Susan still managed to spot Willis sitting in the crowd.
Despite her attempts to divert her gaze, her eyes involuntarily swept towards him.
However, Willis didn’t even spare her a glance.
After the speeches from the top executives, including Ryan, Bruce, and Willis,
a professional team that had been hired took the stage to perform.
Due to the large number of attendees, the banquet was set up in a buffet style.
Like a fluttering butterfly, Susan moved through the crowd, smiling charmingly, appearing familiar with everyone and warmly greeting them.
As Helena and Willis had a secret marriage and hadn’t held a wedding ceremony,
Helena had never visited the company before.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Susan had often come to the company as Willis’s supposed girlfriend.
Everyone still thought she was Willis’s girlfriend, so they warmly asked her, “when will we get to enjoy the wedding candy from you and Mr. Santana?”
Normally, someone else would correct them,
but for the sake of her vanity, Susan didn’t correct them, just smiled without saying a word.
Everyone thought she had tacitly agreed and continued to praise her,
saying that she and Mr. Santana were a perfect match, an ideal couple.
Willis stood not far away, taking in everything.
His eyes turned cold, and he picked up his phone to call his driver Tim, “Bring Helena to the top floor of the Capital Hotel.”
“Alright, Mr. Santana.”
Half an hour later, Helena arrived.
Even though she was only wearing a simple white shirt tucked into a dark high-waisted long skirt, her innate grace and charm made her stand out.
As soon as she entered, all eyes were drawn to her.
Even without makeup, she remained pure and beautiful,
making Susan, adorned in her extravagant outfit, look ordinary.
Willis walked briskly to greet her, taking Helena’s hand and gazing at her tenderly, “It’s late at night, I hope you don’t blame me for asking you to come?”
Helena smiled, “If it wasn’t important, you wouldn’t have called me over.”
Hand in hand, the couple, with an appearance of deep love, walked towards the center of the stage.
Willis took the microphone and addressed the audience, “Let me introduce, this is my wife. We got married three years ago.”
There was a stunned silence among the crowd.
A moment of silence.
Soon, thunderous applause echoed in the banquet hall.
People began applauding enthusiastically.
Unexpectedly,
Helena was stunned.
She didn’t expect him to call her over to introduce her to the entire company.
A pleasant surprise struck her heart.
She curved her lips, slightly tilted her face, and gazed at him with delicate, watery eyes, full of affection.
Willis looked down at her, overflowing with love in his eyes.
He tightly held her hand and said to everyone, “I love my wife very much.”
Very much.
He repeated it in his heart once again.
Susan, who had always presented herself as Willis’s girlfriend, with her exquisitely made-up face, felt like she had been exposed and couldn’t wait to find a place to hide.
