Royal Palace, one of the top clubs in Jadeborough, was a money-squandering establishment.
At the same time, it was also part of Tyrone's business empire, generating at least ten billion in profit for him each year.
Gold Chamber was the grandest and most luxurious hall in the building.
Dozens of men and women in splendid attire were gathered in groups, each attended by a waiter pouring
wine.
"Millic, should Cin and I just go back?" Bernice asked.
In order to expand the market for Firebird Pharmaceuticals, she managed to get in touch with an old classmate. Bernice found herself standing next to a beautiful woman with a full, fair complexion and a tall, slender figure.
Looking at those men and women, there was a certain sense of repulsion.
She had never been fond of those occasions of eating, drinking, and merriment.
Millie Hale exclaimed, tugging at Bernice's arm, "Bernie, you invited me to dinner tonight and asked me to introduce you to Mr. Farrington. Now that Mr. Farrington has agreed to meet you, but you want to leave. How am I supposed to explain this to him? Moreover, it's rare for Mr. Farrington to visit Jadeborough. If you don't see him tonight, you might miss your chance."
Bernice's heart tightened. "But..."
Millie grabbed her arm. "Stop talking. Mr. Farrington will be here soon. Just wait a little longer. Otherwise, where will you find a big client like Mr. Farrington?"
Upon hearing that, Bernice finally nodded in agreement. Mr. Farrington is indeed a big client. With the right collaboration, it's possible for Firebird Pharmaceuticals' sales to double or even triple. Even if Grandma and Uncle Bishop's family make things difficult, it would be pointless.
"Bernie!" Cindy walked in from the outside, her elegant eyebrows furrowed.
She was not particularly fond of these situations either. "Shall we go?" Cindy asked.
Millie gave Cindy a glance. "No, just follow me. I'll introduce you to some people."
Cindy and Millie were classmates, but the former didn't have much fondness for Millie, who had seemed like a social butterfly since their university days.
That day, however, it was Bernice who took the initiative to invite Millie. It wouldn't be good for her to show too much rejection. "Is there really no problem with Mr. Farrington?" she asked.
"Stop overthinking. Let me introduce you to a few friends." Millie's eyes sparkled, deliberately avoiding Cindy's question, and she pulled Bernice forward.
After a moment of hesitation, Cindy followed.

It had to be said that Millie was indeed a social butterfly. She seemed to know almost everyone present and appeared to be quite familiar with them. However, when she introduced Bernice and Cindy as visitors to that certain Mr. Farrington, everyone there revealed a meaningful and playful expression. Someone murmured under their breath, "So, they're seeking help from Mr. Farrington. Looks like there's no escaping tonight."
"I know about this Bernice, one of the Four Beauties of Jadeborough. She has quite a number of suitors!"
"But I heard she's already engaged."
"So what? If Mr. Farrington takes a liking, even a marriage wouldn't stand in his way"
Although those people spoke in hushed tones, they made no effort to hide their conversation. Both Bernice and Cindy heard them.
Cindy, who had always suspected Millie of harboring ill intentions, snorted. "Millie, you're just as disgusting as before, even thinking of introducing Bernie to other men."
Millie wore an innocent expression. "Don't falsely accuse me. It was Bernie who asked me to arrange the meeting for her today."
"You-"
Bernice stopped Cindy, her face slightly embarrassed. "Cin, it was indeed me who asked Millie to arrange this today. Let's just wait a bit longer. Mr. Farrington may not be the kind of person you think he is!" Understanding the pressure Bernice was under, Cindy could only glare at Millie, choosing to remain silent.
Millie shamelessly smiled and said, "Bernie, if Mr. Farrington truly takes a liking to you, that would be your good fortune. After all, Mr. Farrington's grandfather is the branch president of the Nuthana branch of Loang Martial Arts Alliance. He controls a vast amount of resources and even holds the procurement rights for materials in the eight southern states of Martial Arts Alliance. He can definitely lend you a hand. Not only in your family's pharmaceutical business but even in the liquor and catering industries. He can help you soar to new heights!"
Bernice frowned and said, "I'm already engaged. I'm only seeking Mr. Farrington for a collaboration."
Upon hearing this, Millie chuckled. "All right. Whatever you say."
"Mr. Farrington has arrived!"
Suddenly, a cry of joy echoed from the entrance.
After a brief moment of silence, the groups of men and women, who were originally huddled separately, swarmed toward the entrance of the hall. Their enthusiasm was akin to that of subjects paying homage to their emperor.
Millie also showed excitement, deliberately straightening her body to appear more proud. "Mr. Farrington is here, Bernie. You all must perform well!"

Bernice and Cindy exchanged glances, and they both saw regret in each other's eyes. But now that things have come to this, it wouldn't be right for us to just leave abruptly.
In the midst of the crowd, a domineering and flamboyant young man walked forward as if he were a star.
The person Millie was introducing to Bernice that night was indeed Seamus Farrington from Capston.
His grandfather was the branch president of Loang Martial Arts Alliance in Nuthana.
Even the Wahlstrom family, who controlled the underworld in Walund, and the Langdon family, the richest in Nuthana, dared not offend the Farrington family in the slightest. He approached, a cigar clamped between his teeth.
Millic immediately rushed up to him, exclaiming, "Mr. Farrington, you're finally here. I've missed you since we last parted!"
That sickeningly delicate demeanor made Cindy feel nauseous.
That further confirmed that something was amiss that night.
With a hearty laugh, Seamus wrapped his arms around Millie's waist, unabashedly giving her a playful
squeeze.
While teasing Millie, he asked, "You promised to introduce me to two beautiful ladies. Where are they?"
"They're here; my college classmates, Bernice and Cindy." Millie leaned entirely on Seamus, pointing at Bernice and the other person.
Seamus followed the gaze, and his eyes instantly lit up. "Not bad!"
He pushed Millie aside, pulled out a check for five million, and tossed it to her. "This is much better than what you've introduced before. Here's a five million reward." Millie joyfully said, "Thank you, Mr. Farrington. Thank you, Mr. Farrington!"
At this point, Cindy couldn't hold back anymore. "Millie, you're proof that a leopard can't change its spots!"
Back in her university days, Millie often mingled with various wealthy scions, introducing them to some girls in exchange for favors.
When Bernice sought help in the class group, Millie voluntarily stepped forward. That was when Cindy felt something was off.
Also, that was why she went there with Bernice that night.
Unexpectedly, the outcome was not surprising at all. Millie remained the same as before.
Millie smirked and said, "Cindy, don't make it sound so unpleasant. You all chose to come here tonight. And I didn't deceive Bernie. Mr. Farrington really can help her!"
"All right. Why all the unnecessary chatter?" Seamus' eyes greedily moved between Bernice and Cindy. "Millie has also told me what you are asking for. There is no problem at all. I can give Firebird Group the

Bernice gave Millie a look of disappointment, halted Cindy, who was about to speak, and maintained her calm demeanor. Surely Mr. Farrington wouldn't so easily grant us the drug supply rights for the three states of Martial Arts Alliance, would you!"
You're brilliant!" Seamus laughed heartily. "But my requirements are quite simple. You two will accompany me for a month! Not only will I grant you the rights to supply pharmaceuticals across three states, but I can also arrange for Firebird Group's catering and liquor businesses to establish long-term cooperation with Martial Arts Alliance. How's that?”
