Chapter 19 - 19: 19 Encounter on the Rooftop 1
“Baron Stuart!” As the siblings greeted the attendees at the conference cordially, a familiar voice came from not far away.
Especially when Bella Stuart heard this voice, her face was instantly filled with joy, a brilliant and vivacious smile sparkled in her playful eyes.
She turned around, looked towards the source of the sound, and enthusiastically waved to him, “Leonardo Bryson!”
Upon hearing the voice, Baron Stuart’s gaze also looked in Leonardo Bryson’s direction. Before he could say anything, the little hand that was holding his arm quickly loosened.
Watching his little sister running towards Leonardo Bryson, Baron Stuart waited calmly.
“You are becoming more and more rude. When you were a child, you used to call me big brother Yates often. Why is it that as you grow up, you start to call me by my actual name instead?” Leonardo Bryson, looking at the handsome girl in front of him, gently pinched her straight, small nose. His affectionate gaze said it all.
In response, Bella Stuart pouted discontentedly, “Why do you care? I’ll call you whatever I want. Can’t I?”
“Alright, whatever you say goes!” Leonardo Bryson, after patting her head, walked towards Baron Stuart with her in tow.
Leonardo Bryson, the CEO of the Bryson Group, had established his own kingdom in the domestic market through his own abilities. It was widely known that Bryson used to have a different career before entering the business circle. In just a few years, he has established his own business empire. He has been Baron Stuart’s friend since childhood, his only confidant, a brother in adversity who can risk his life for him!
“You’re here too. It looks like today’s banquet is quite special.” After taking a sip of red wine in his glass, Baron Stuart then looked towards his mother and old master Stuart, who were not far away.
The couple, they were laughing and talking with the chairman of the Walker Group. They seem to be enjoying each other’s company.
Looking at this scene, Baron Stuart seemed to have guessed the theme of today’s banquet.
Draining his glass of red wine, a look of displeasure crossed Baron Stuart’s face, and he was about to leave the conference room.
Just as he turned around, he accidentally bumped into a waiter who was walking past, causing the wine to splash all over and stain his silver-grey suit.
“Damn it!” Baron Stuart cursed under his breath, his mood deteriorating further and his eyes coldly weighing the waiter.
Recognizing the severity of his mistake, the waiter began to apologise repeatedly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Stuart!”
Baron Stuart with a cold face, even if his anger inside was about to ignite, compared to this, he would rather leave this damn place as soon as possible.
Without the protagonist, he was curious to see what the old master would do next.
With a sharp gaze, Baron Stuart swept over the waiter in front of him and didn’t utter a word. He left everyone behind and headed in the direction of the conference hall exit.
However, he had only taken a few steps when a powerful and compelling voice rang out.
“Baron Stuart, where are you going!?” Old Master Stuart, who had noticed that Baron Stuart was about to leave, called out sternly.
At the sound of the voice, Baron Stuart had to pause. His attractive eyes slightly closed, revealing a hint of helplessness.
He turned around, pointing to his soiled suit, and said in his usual calm tone, “I just want to go upstairs to change my clothes”.
Old Master Stuart glanced at the stain on his suit. He had initially thought that Stuart was trying to sneak away again, it seemed he was mistaken.
