Chapter 328 Susan Became a Cutie Pie
She was praised by the VIP face to face...
Susan's cheeks blushed slightly, and her eyes looked excited.
However, nobody could blame her for not being composed!
It was the VIP who was one of the higher ups. He was a figure that felt like he was a couple hundred thousand miles away from her and yet, he was now standing right in front of her while speaking highly of her.
Susan felt that...
Her life was already complete.
The VIP saw Susan's speechless look and could not help feeling that it was rather funny.
The corners of his lips curved into a smile as he said," Your mum and dad have done a lot to organize this sweet eighteen ceremony that you might've missed. A s for me, I've prepared a gift for you, but I don't really know what you'll like so I hope you'll like it."
"I love it, I love it!." Susan replied so swiftly that it sounded like she was afraid that the gift would be confiscated if she were to express her dislike.
Her actions made the VIP laugh.
'It seems like George Wright's long-lost daughter is quite a funny one.'
He got a box from his secretary. Once opened, an elegant blue and white jade necklace lay quietly in it. I t seemed that the necklace had been refined. It seemed like a classic, but the modifications made it fit for modern wear.
Susan loved the necklace at first glance. It was like it was her baby.
"This necklace comes from our national brand. It's known as 'Rubycon'. This brand specializes in making refined versions of ancient costumes and jewelry. I'm no pro in the fashion department, so this was selected by my secretary after asking several female colleagues of ours. It looks nice to me, but I'm not sure if you'll like it or not," the VIP explained with a faint chuckle.
'Like it or not? You've got to be kidding right?'
Susan was already nodding non-stop.
Looking at Susan nod was like witnessing a chick pecking at rice. Although the live audience didn't have much of a reaction, the internet was abuzz in the comment section.
"Oh my God, I almost died laughing. When I saw so many big shots at the banquet, I was so scared that I didn't even dare to comment on anything. However, when I saw Susan's reaction... Hahaha, that's just so down to the earth."
"If I was in her position, I'd be nodding my head furiously as well!”
"Hahaha, Susan is so funny. She's fangirling all the way.”
All the netizens who were commenting felt that Susan was just like them, the lay folks. It was cute, and there was a very strong sense of her being in their shoes.
Among the comments, there were batches of neatly composed comments.
"JuSan Global Escort Team Alpha reporting to duty. The truth will never be late! We firmly believe that JuSan are innocent.”
"JuSan Global Escort Team Bravo reporting to duty. The truth will never be late! We firmly believe that JuSan are innocent.”
Then there was team Charlie and Delta, and all of them were an exact replica of one another.
The appearance of the escorts also reminded everybody about the scandal that Lanyard Construction was in.
Julian and Lanyard Construction were under a lot of fire on the internet before this.
However, everyone couldn't help but feel a hint of suspicion now.
Marshal George Wright had always been an unyielding hardliner. There was gossip circulating around nowadays.
It was said that an aircraft invaded the Canadian airspace a few days earlier.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had drafted a severe condemnation, and the author was Marshal Wright’s brother-in-law, the current Minister of Foreign Affairs, Luis Young.
However, Marshal Wright gave a 'shoot on sight’ order and the jet was shot before the official statement was even out.
The pilot was knocked out and tied up before the wreckage of the plane was thrown directly into the dump.
Luis was stunned on the spot.
When they were being accused of the incident later, Oliver righteously claimed, "We were unsure. We don't know anything at all. Perhaps, it's the doings of a terrorist group."
That response was somewhat flawless on the surface. However, which terrorist group could make such a move in heavily-defended waters like that while being able to take an aircraft down?
That was a joke!
To be honest, everybody knew that being such firm hardliners had always been the signature of the Wrights, and nobody had an ounce of evidence to prove that it was their doing.
This story had long been circulated as a joke on the Internet. Aside for the few that referred to George Wright as a barbarian, most of the netizens only took i t as gossip.
Since the Wrights were notorious hardliners, they wouldn’t have had anything to do with overseas organizations.
Could Julian Shaw have done such a foolish thing as the son-in-law of the Wrights?
Moreover, the VIP appeared in person to make up for Susan's coming-to-age ceremony. This alone aided them in proving something.
Could it be that Julian's secret funding to the overseas organizations was also fake?
At this moment, there was a huge group of people cheering for Susan now in the comment section.
Some cybercitizens were still discussing the scandal faced by Lanyard Construction. However, it wasn't a one-sided withering attack on Lanyard Construction this time. Most of the people started to suspect that there were some hidden hands behind the incident.
Somebody also pointed out. "It's too early to justify the innocence of Julian Shaw now! Everybody should sort the timeline out. With the Wrights reuniting with Susan now, this proves that they have just recently found their daughter. That being said, Marshal Wright might not know what Julian Shaw had done in the past."
"You're right. We shall wait and see!"
"Just wait for it, Julian Shaw should explain about it."
Everybody started chit-chatting in the comment section while waiting for the continuation of the show.
At the banquet, the VIP had personally helped Susan with the necklace.
Susan was so excited that she almost fainted.
"Congratulations on returning to the place you belong, the Wrights." The old man gazed at Susan with a smile.
"Thank you. Thank you very much," Susan responded repeatedly.
"I still have some errands to attend to, so I shall take m y leave now. Please, do enjoy the rest of the party,” the old man announced while glancing at all the guests.
He came to the banquet just to set a scene for the Wrights and Susan. Now that he achieved his goals, the Wrights should be able to take care of the rest.
"I shall send you off, sir!" Marshal Wright asserted.
"Wait!" Susan interrupted the farewell nervously out of a sudden.
"Is there anything else?" The VIP turned his head and asked. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Umm... Sir... Can you sign my notebook? Also, can I get a photo?" Susan asked eagerly.
Everyone at the banquet almost burst into laughter when they heard Susan's girlish request.
The VIP could not help but laugh. "Of course! Where should I sign?"
Susan sent someone off to grab her notebook immediately.
On the other side, she already started summoning her posse. "Julian, Jacob, come, selfie time!"
Julian and Jacob were left speechless at the scene.
The two felt helplessly embarrassed, but still, they walked over towards Susan and the VIP.
Susan's expression was so funny as she pulled in friends and family, making the VIP laugh for quite some time. Furthermore, at first glance, Julian Shaw and Jacob Shelby had attracted his attention before this.
"Lanyard Construction has been doing a great job these few years.” The VIP commented with a smile," Jacob Shelby, work hard on the R&D of your system, I'm confident that one day, the whole world will be using it."
