Chapter 235 Aunt Flo Arrives (Eight)

• Chadwick Fullner realized that Kate Penrose was not just attending the banquet for the sake of it. It was clear that her main intention was to network with the influential "Mr. Wembley Uncle" at the event. Chadwick Fullner suspected that Kate Penrose had invited him not just because she was on her period and couldn't drink. In reality, Kate Penrose had planned for Chadwick Fullner to accompany her all along. Essentially, Kate Penrose refrained from drinking due to being a woman and knowing that the others were all drinkers. Hence, she asked Chadwick Fullner to drink on her behalf to please the guests and achieve her own objectives. Chadwick Fullner believed that even if Kate Penrose had not been on her period, she would have still requested his presence.
• Despite feeling like he was being used by Kate Penrose, Chadwick Fullner didn't mind. He simply drank for her, considering it no big deal. His focus was on the affectionate couple standing on the stage. Although he had not glanced at the stage throughout the evening, his heart couldn't help but be drawn to it, curious about the events unfolding.
• "Xiaoxia, your friend is quite pleasant. I must say, I admire young people who drink openly. There's a saying, isn't there? A person's drinking habits reflect their character. Someone who drinks openly must be forthright in real life, you can't go wrong with that. Come on, young man, let's have a drink. However, I'm older, so I'll take a sip while you have a glass, how does that sound?" An elderly gentleman smiled at Chadwick Fullner.
