Chapter 64 Private Banquet, You're Not Qualified to Attend

Eugene was about to step in but got blocked by the hotel staff.

"Hold up, sir. You ain't on the list for this shindig," the staff said, looking bored.

Eugene puffed up his chest. "I'm Eugene Watson, the ex-Pharma King of Starlight City. Now I run Mansion Pharmaceutical and Fisher Pharmaceutical."

The staff rolled his eyes. "Sorry, dude, this is Mr. Smith's private party. No gatecrashers allowed."

Eugene and Jasmine exchanged helpless looks.

Then a voice called out, "Isn't that Mr. Watson?"

Eugene turned to see Cecil Getty, one of the big-time distributors.

"Mr. Getty, what's the scoop on Mr. Smith's private bash?" Eugene asked, curious.

Cecil shrugged. "Not sure, but I heard Mr. Smith wants us to meet the new Pharma King of Starlight City."

Eugene's heart sank. Was he really out of the game for good? Wasn't the new Pharma King Timothy, with even Aaron backing him?

With jealousy twisting his face, Eugene remembered that back when he was the Pharma King, he never received this kind of treatment.

Eugene was about to bail when Jasmine spotted William and Fiona. "Dad, isn't that Mom and William?"

She dashed over and hugged Fiona. "Mom, where've you been? I missed you so much."

Eugene hurried over too. "Fiona, where have you been? I was worried sick."

To the Watson family, Fiona was worth a cool $7 billion. But right now, Eugene and Jasmine were genuinely concerned.

Fiona's face was cold. "Where I went is none of your business. You don't need to know."

She'd never forget how they teamed up with the Watsons to strip her of her company's power and her ancient medicine recipes, forcing her to leave.

Eugene pleaded, "Fiona, come back with me. I'll explain and apologize properly."

Jasmine chimed in, "Yeah, Mom, we just wanted to get rid of William. We didn't mean to hurt you."

She then shot a look at William. "Mom, why are you still with him? Come back with us and ditch him."

Fiona was firm. "No way, I'm never giving up on William again. Besides, I'm living better now than before. Thanks to William."

Jasmine and Eugene couldn't believe it. Living better than them? No way! Unless they lived in Serenade Villa.

William was getting impatient. "Alright, Fiona, let's go in."

Jasmine looked confused. "Go in? Where?"

William replied, "To the banquet, of course."

Eugene and Jasmine thought they misheard. "What?"

How was that possible?

Aaron's party was invite-only for big shots, and even Eugene wasn't on the list. How could Fiona and William be?

Fiona walked towards the hotel. "Alright, we're going to the banquet."

The staff said politely, "Mr. Davis, Ms. Fisher, please."

Seeing William and Fiona waltz into the banquet, Eugene and Jasmine were stunned.

Jasmine muttered, "Could this be because of William?"

Eugene shook his head. "No, it's probably because of Camilla. She's on the guest list too. I heard she met with Fiona this afternoon."

Jasmine snorted, "I knew it. William always acts like he's hot stuff. What skills could he possibly have?"

Inside the banquet hall, major distributors were arriving one after another. Almost everyone brought their kids to get some face time.

This was a party personally hosted by Aaron. Letting their kids show up and maybe chat with Aaron was a huge honor.

Camilla also brought Delia.
