After Molly changed her clothes and took a few more steps around the house to get used to them, Coleen led her back to the bedroom to help her undress.

"Molly, you'll be meeting a lot of business partners tomorrow, and I'll introduce them to you one by one. Even if you can't remember their faces, it's okay, just use your charm to interact with them."

Molly nodded, "Don't worry, mom, I got this. I'll address them properly."

Coleen patted her on the back, "You're always so savvy."

It was already late, Coleen packed the clothes in the suitcase, put down the jewelry and said, "Take a facial mask later and get some rest early. I'll do your makeup tomorrow."

"Goodnight, Mom."

After sending Coleen off, Molly started her skincare routine. Looking at the jewelry prepared by her mother, she opened it to have a look, "Hey, where's my ring?"

The next morning, after Coleen changed her clothes, she went to her daughter's room to do her makeup. Her hair was casually tied up by Coleen, and a simple layer of foundation was brushed on her face. "Close your eyes, I'll just draw an eyeliner for you." Molly obediently closed her eyes. Coleen didn't want her daughter to wear heavy makeup, so she always tried to keep it light.

After the makeup was done, Molly picked up her dress, stepped on her high heels, and walked down the steps one by one. "Chad, can you help me? I'm afraid I'll fall."

Chad had to get up and go to the stairs, helping his sister lift her dress, and his other hand held hers like a knight, "The whole family is busy serving you for one event." "I'm lucky, aren't I?"

Chad laughed and said, "Sure."

On the first floor, Coleen appeared shortly after. "Chad, later you take Molly and me to the designated hotel, and your dad will pick us up in the afternoon."

The guys were like the errand boys.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Coleen appeared at the venue with her daughter.

"Coleen, you're finally here. We were just talking about you." As soon as Coleen and her daughter entered, someone looked over here. "Is this your daughter?" A social butterfly pointed at Molly and asked Coleen. Coleen nodded, "This is my daughter, Molly."

Then, Coleen introduced the person next to her daughter, "This is the president of Catalyst Solutions. You can call him Mr. Falcon."

Molly showed a faint smile on her face and greeted sweetly, "Hello, Mr. Falcon. Your company's cleansing mask is really good."

"Do you know what my company does?" He asked in surprise.

Molly nodded, "My friends and I are using your company's products, so naturally, we know."

Coleen looked at her daughter in surprise, turned out she had done her homework last night.

Molly looked at her mother, raised her eyebrows at her, the look on her face as if to say: Look, mom, I'm awesome.

The Cedillo family

Mia stayed in bed until noon; Naomi called her twice but couldn't wake her up.

Andre said, "Don't bother waking her up anymore, she was talking on the phone with Molly until late last night, she hasn't had enough rest."

They had been checking the guest list for the banquet last night, carefully searching for relevant information and working hard until late at night. For things she didn't understand, Mia would directly wake up her husband sleeping next to her and ask, "Honey, what does this corporation do? Who is this person?"

Coleen took her daughter to meet the host.

Mr. Ashford saw the visitors and came over to greet them from afar, "Coleen, I'm sorry I didn't welcome you in advance."

Coleen replied, "Hello. This is my daughter Molly."

Then she turned to her daughter and said, "This is the chairman of Ashford Inc., Mr. Ashford."

Molly bowed slightly and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Ashford. My mom often mentions you at home, saying that you are a respected opponent."

Mr. Ashford pointed at Molly and laughed, "You really are a smooth talker."

Molly replied, "Mr. Ashford, I mean it. My mom really mentioned your business in front of my dad, saying that you are our role model."

Mr. Ashford laughed heartily, looking at Molly, and liking her even more.

At this time, Mr. Ashford's son also came over. He quickly waved to his son, "Jack, come here."

Jack walked over, tall and handsome, dressed in a tailored suit, standing beside his father. "Dad, what's up?"

Mr. Ashford pointed at Coleen and Molly and introduced, "This is Coleen, and this is her daughter, Molly."

Jack nodded to Coleen in greeting, "Hello, Coleen."

When he was about to greet Molly, he was immediately captivated by her. She was like a lamp, with a warm and beautiful light. She exuded a gentle and charming temperament. "Hi, I'm Jack."

Molly was a bit nervous, "Uh, hello."

Mr. Ashford noticed his son's interest in Molly, so he suggested, "Jack, you don't need to continue to entertain the guests. Go hang out with Molly."

Molly immediately looked at her mother. Coleen happened to have something else to deal with, so she said, "Go have fun. There are a lot of your peers over there. Maybe you can even meet your classmates." So Molly followed Jack.

Jack's brief attraction to Molly was quickly hidden away in the depths of his heart. "Molly, have you had breakfast?"

Molly answered directly, "I have. My brother was afraid I would be hungry, so he made me three big pancakes this morning. He wouldn't let me out until I finished them."

Jack smiled, his gaze always rested on Molly, "How old are you this year?"

"21, how about you?"

"26 years old. Just got back from overseas with a Ph.D. and it's my first year in charge of the family business. Did you go to college here or abroad?"

Upon hearing Jack's words, Molly didn't envy his Ph.D. at all. The admiration Jack expected to see on her face didn't show up.

"I'm a sophomore at Havenbrook University," Molly replied.

"What's your major?"

"Economics."

Jack said with delight, "That means we'll have a lot to talk about. I have a Ph.D. in Economics, so you can ask me if there's anything you don't understand."

Molly thought about her brother, a big shot in the business world. She hesitated for a moment, then decided not to mention it.

"Okay," she responded casually.

Jack was a good conversationalist, and it did not take long for him and Molly to hit it off. He got Molly to share a lot, "I've heard about your brother. He's nabbed a lot of economic criminals, and made a real difference." Molly nodded proudly, "Yep, no crook can slip past my brother's gaze."

"How old is your brother this year?" Jack asked.

"He's 26 too, same age as you. He's been working for quite a few years now. But he's not a smooth talker like you. He just lectures me about what I did wrong. Even so, he's still the first one I call when I mess up. It really gets to him sometimes." Every time Chad came up, Molly would have a lot more to say, as if she can't help but brag about how capable Chad is.

"I'd like to meet him if I get the chance."

"You'd better not Jack. Businessmen who've met my brother don't usually fare well. You'd better pray you don't bump into him."

At Molly's words, Jack burst out laughing. "You've got a point there. But I'd still like to be friends with him."
