The security guards looked at each other, thinking of all the benefits they could gain
from being loyal to Keith and taking advantage of his influence. They smiled at each
other and began lifting the unconscious guests from the ground. But they made sure that
Keith saw them doing it.
Keith walked to Julian's side and patted him on the shoulder. Thank you for your hard
work. You've done well.
Keith's charm value had been increasing, and even if it was useless to a goddess like
Olivia, to Julian, it was overwhelming. Julian's body quivered, and he said in excitement,
Mr. Sandberg, you're too kind. I was only doing my job.
Keith smiled faintly, and I was about to say something to win everyone over, but his eyes
suddenly flicked to the door. Old Mr. Strauss walked in with a group of people. Behind
him was Olivia, who was wearing a pure white dress.
Behind Olivia was a group of young men and women. They were dressed in formal attire,
and a few of the young women were very beautiful. But next to Olivia, they didn't look
that good.
Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Olivia, and even Keith was a little stunned.
There was only one thought in the minds of the onlookers. She was so beautiful.
Old Mr. Strauss's arrival caused the scene to quieten down. When the ladies who were hiding saw the old man, they immediately ran over. One of them said sharply, Sir, Keith
hit someone in front of everyone.
You have to help us. Help you? Old Mr. Strauss sneered. If not for Keith, I would have
died long ago.
From now on, Keith is a member of the family. He's a Strauss. Why should I help you?
The crowd was stunned.
They knew that the old man was siding with Keith, but with such a big incident
happening, he should at least blame Keith a little, right? At least he should pretend to
scold Keith. But they didn't expect that the old man would actually say that Keith was a
member of the Strauss family. Wouldn't that make Keith the same as Olivia? When
everyone heard this, they were shocked.
They didn't know the relationship between Keith and Olivia, but they knew the old man.
He was a grateful person. His words were unexpected, but reasonable.
The way they looked at Keith changed once again. Now they wanted to please him.
Everyone looked at Keith, but at that moment, Keith smiled and said, Sir, you're
exaggerating.
After all, my surname is still Sanderburg. In the future, I might need your help, though.
The crowd was shocked all over again.
His words were euphemistic, but what he meant was, I'm still a Sanderburg, not a
Strauss. Everyone else wanted to be part of the Strauss family. It was a good thing to
have a relationship with the Strausses.
Keith, on the other hand, tactfully refused the opportunity to enter the core circle of the
Strauss family. His expression was indifferent, and he didn't hesitate when making the
decision. He was so confident.
The crowd couldn't believe it, but old Mr. Strauss looked at Keith and smiled. Everyone
had their own motives. Mr. Strauss had his two sons, one in politics and the other in the
army, and his granddaughter, who was running Olive Industries.
Even the old man couldn't see through Keith's motivations. If one day Mr. Strauss was
too old to manage his own affairs, and Olivia couldn't control Keith, then Olive Industries
could very well be separated from the Strauss family. But at that moment, Keith's eyes
were clear.
He'd set his piece in front of everyone, making it clear that he wouldn't try to seize Olive
Industries' property. It made Mr. Strauss value Keith even more. As long as he could win
over this young man, the Strauss family wouldn't fall.
Keith, he said, you're right. I was too eager. Let's talk about this later.
He took a few steps forward and took Keith's arm. I have a few bottles of good wine. You
can drink with me tonight.
The crowd was still watching in quiet surprise. Keith had refused to join the Strauss
family's core circle, but the old man was not angry. In fact, he was even more
enthusiastic.
If Keith's parents weren't here, the onlookers would have wondered if Keith was the old
man's illegitimate son. You've fulfilled old Mr. Strauss' wish. Wish value plus one.
Progress ten of ten. You can now make a wish. Keith smiled.
He knew what his wish was. Behind him, Sienna said in surprise, so that's the kind of
person he is. She was one of the few people who knew about the relationship between
Olivia and Keith.
Previously, she hadn't liked Keith, but after everything she'd seen of him now, her
attitude had changed a little. Olivia looked at Keith's back and revealed a faint smile.
Olivia thinks that you're a person with your own opinions who doesn't covet wealth.
She has added plus five favorability for you. Currently, positive 35 favorability. Keith
looked back in surprise, and his eyes met Olivia's.
Her beautiful face turned slightly red, and she shyly looked away. Keith blinked in shock,
and then he smiled and shook his head. The arrival of old Mr. Strauss and the others
made the party officially begin, but it was obvious that the guest of honor tonight was
Keith.
Everyone was trying to get close to Keith. They all hoped to have a good relationship
with him, but in front of the old man, they couldn't be too direct. In the end, old Mr.
Strauss felt that they were being too bothersome, so he shooed them away.
The guest turned to Keith's parents instead. Because they didn't know the relationship
between Keith and Olivia, some even wanted to introduce their daughters to Keith.
These young women were beautiful, and Sam and Angie were naturally delighted, but
Keith had already informed them to keep his marriage a secret, so the two of them didn't
say much.
Other than Keith, the main focus was Olivia. She really did look stunning, and the guests
could hardly keep their eyes off her. Besides Olivia and Sienna, there was also a number
of attractive young men.
