"This dress is from Miss Gloria's own clothing store. It's called Suede, right?"
"Hurry up and write down this important piece of information. We'll go to the store tomorrow morning and pre-order one!"
"It looks like the battle for Family Moreton's successor is starting to shift from Cyril's complete domination."
"That's right. If Miss Gloria can display her superb business acumen, who knows if the president will choose her like Master Ian."
Some of the women who hadn't heard the news before were very interested in it, and the businessmen began to ponder the information that had just been divulged. If they had to choose a side in the future, this information would be very important.
Herty and Hernie's expressions darkened. Gloria's disregard was even more unacceptable to them than her insults. It was as if she was telling them that she was no longer on the same level as them.
"Geoffrey, are you planning to hand over Family Moreton to this little girl like Ian? I think her EQ and IQ are comparable to that of the Buffett Family's girl. " Michael turned to Geoffrey with a smile. Even though his tone was relaxed, his gaze was very sharp.
"I've given her a chance, but whether she can grasp it or not will depend on her own abilities. If a woman wants to be in power, she has to put in more effort. " Geoffrey looked at Gloria and shook his head slightly. "Compared to the Buffett Family's girl, she's far from enough."
"Don't be so smug. Not everyone's girl grows up in a bank like the Buffett Family's girl," Michael said with a smile.
Geoffrey didn't say anything in response. However, he was looking at Gloria with a hint of gratification in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Big Sister is so awesome today. It feels like she's a completely different person." Mickey looked at Gloria standing in the crowd with his mouth slightly agape. His initial worry had been replaced by surprise and pride.
"Gloria, you've grown up. You're even more outstanding than I was back then." Lance's expression was a little complicated. He was a little gratified, but also a little distressed.
"Yes, she has grown up. Just like what we said when she was born, she has grown into a beautiful girl." Debra gently held Lance's hand and said with a smile. Her eyes were wet with tears.
Cyril took a deep breath to calm himself down before releasing the knight's arm. He looked at Gloria with a cold smile, and said, "Even if you and he are willing to give it to me, only idiots like you would do something like that. Do you think there are idiots like you among all of us here? I'd like to see what you're going to use to fill this bottomless pit! "
"Buffett Banks will provide a fund for the teaching of the homeless children." Mr. Hill slowly made his way out of the crowd. He looked at Luna, and said, "Young Mistress Luna, I hope you can give us a proposal and a budget. Regardless of whether you want to set up a separate school or join the Chaos School system, Buffett Banks will be responsible for all of the funding."
"Al … Alright." Luna's eyes immediately lit up. She looked at Mr. Hill with an incredulous expression as she nodded.
"President Jeffree, I think it's only been a few decades since the rise of our Chamber of Commerce in Chaos City. It seems that all of you have forgotten that your ancestors were just ordinary people back in the day. Why can't we give a portion of the money we've earned back to those children?" Mr. Hill turned to Geoffrey with a smile, and asked, "Would you be willing to be an idiot for once, President?"
Cyril's face instantly turned deathly pale. Never would he have thought that Mr. Hill would suddenly stand up for him. Not only did he promise a huge sum of money, he was also directly targeting Geoffrey. Regardless of whether Geoffrey agreed or not, he had clearly suffered a crushing defeat today. He hadn't been able to save any face in the end, and his status in Geoffrey's heart would plummet even further.
All of the guests' expressions also became very interesting. The businessmen from the Buffett Faction were already considering how much they should donate, while the businessmen from the Moreton Faction all turned to Geoffrey in unison.
Geoffrey and Mr. Hill were already embroiled in a heated debate. It was clear that Mr. Hill wanted to slap Cyril in the face. If Geoffrey wanted to protect him, then there was no way that he would agree at a time like this. As such, they naturally wouldn't be in a hurry to donate.
Michael glanced at Geoffrey, but didn't say anything.
Meg looked at Mr. Hill in amazement.
She was indeed a woman who could take charge of a large family at the age of 18. Her words were like a bullet to the soul.
If Geoffrey didn't agree, he would be protecting Cyril, but he would also leave a label in Michael's heart that he didn't have enough political awareness. It was obviously not a good result to be in the business circle of Chaos City.
If he were to agree to Cyril's request, that would be a sign of his political awareness, but it would also expose Cyril's lack of intelligence. The internal conflict between the heirs of the Moreton Family would become a fatal flaw, and it would greatly affect the decisions of the merchants who were wavering between the two sides.
Geoffrey glanced at Cyril, and then turned to Gloria. He nodded slightly, and said, "I agree with Gloria's suggestion. Apart from the one-tenth of Blue Suede's income that she donated, Family Moreton will bear the cost of the children's accommodation so that they can have a home."
"I think those children will be grateful to you, President Geoffrey," Mr. Hill said with a smile. There was a hint of joy in his eyes that his scheme had succeeded.
"Thank you, President Geoffrey." Luna bowed deeply in the direction of the VIP seats. Hot tears were already welling up in her eyes.
Initially, she only wanted to donate some food for the children to get through the winter. But now, the promise she received had far exceeded her expectations. It was even enough to give those children a good childhood.
Cyril staggered two steps back. He barely managed to stay upright because the knight behind him supported him. His face was pale, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.
Geoffrey's cold glance just now made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. And what he said was more like a choice between him and Gloria.
"The president has also chosen to donate money, and … he has chosen Miss Gloria!"
"Could it be that Miss Gloria will become the next Miss Hill?"
"That's hard to say, but we have to donate this money. We can only close our eyes and be fools."
The guests who were familiar with each other spoke softly, each with their own thoughts. They were trying to determine what changes would happen to the Aden Chamber of Commerce because of this banquet.
"I'm very touched by Miss Luna's suggestion and what she has done. I'm also very gratified that all of you, as the most outstanding and top businessmen in Chaos City, are willing to donate generously to the children." Michael walked out from the VIP seats, and his powerful voice reverberated throughout the banquet hall. "I hope that all of you can understand one thing clearly. In Chaos City, social classes are not fixed. We will promote education for all citizens so that all capable residents can realize their value for the development of Chaos City."
