When the group arrived at the venue, many people immediately greeted Old Man Manoban.
However, what attracted the most attention was Lisa and Chaeyoung who had entered the venue hand in hand.
"What a beautiful girl. When will you guys tie the knot?" a mature woman asked Lisa when she was introduced to Lisa and Chaeyoung by her husband.
"Soon... Mrs. Chen. Don't worry, we will send an invitation to everyone," Lisa answered happily. Even though she had already married Chaeyoung, the thought of their marriage was still making her ecstatic. Moreover, she still owed Chaeyoung a grand marriage.
"Oh... I am so excited to see such a beautiful couple. Laura, you are one lucky mother-in-law to have Miss Park as your daughter's wife," another guest chimed in.
Chaeyoung and Lisa were currently surrounded by a group of mature men and women who wanted to curry favor to both the Wang and Manoban Families.
"I agree... Madam is really lucky to have Miss Park as a daughter-in-law. She is not only very beautiful but also very smart, especially when it comes in business," another person said.
However, the conversation instantly turned stiff when one of the guests opened up a conversation about the current predicament of the Choi Conglomerate. Everyone seemed to be aware that many of the shareholders had decided to pull out and transfer to Manoban Conglomerate.
Some expressed their concerns to Lisa.
Some people also started to doubt if Chaeyoung Park was really suited to be Lisa's wife, especially some of the Manoban Family's close friends and relatives.
Aside from this, people had started to praise Lisa's cousin as the calm, cold and talented young master of the Manoban Family.
Moreover, many people thought that if Louis Manoban were to challenge Lisa, he would have a great chance of winning and obtaining the patriarch position.
This conversation continued until Chaeyoung decided to distance herself and go to the bathroom to freshen up. For Chaeyoung, these people were not important. Moreover, she was already married to Lisa so their opinion didn't really matter.
"I told you to stop staring at Chaeyoung. What are you doing staring at her like a creep?" Chaeyoung heard someone's voice as she was about to enter the bathroom. Her curiosity instantly piqued so she decided to eavesdrop a little.
"Leo let me go... I was not staring. I..."
"Shut your trap. You useless piece of shit! I don't want to attract her attention! So stop staring at her!"
The woman started to sob.
"Stop crying! What are you crying for?" The woman did not answer as she continued to sob. "Don't come back to the party. I will let everyone know that you are feeling sick. What a useless woman!"
Chaeyoung then heard footsteps coming her way. She pretended to hum before opening the door to the bathroom.
"Miss Park I did not know that you were here." Chaeyoung turned to look. Her face instantly blossomed into a smile when she saw that it was Lisa's uncle, Leo Manoban.
