Chapter 584: A Warning(Extra Story)
"Understood. I’ll find a suitable time and invite Mr. Taylor," Tobias replied, immediately requesting Everett’s schedule from the secretary.
Ten minutes later, Tobias informed Everett that the dinner was set for 5:30 PM at the Hy Hotel across the street. The Taylors had all agreed to attend.
At exactly 5:30 PM, Everett arrived at the private dining room Tobias had reserved. Charlotte was visibly delighted, mistakenly believing Everett had finally come around.
Mr. Taylor was also pleased. Though the Langston family’s roots weren’t in Country S, maintaining a long-term partnership with them still held great value for Taylor Group.
Even though Taylor Group currently had small-scale collaborations with the Langstons, they lacked the capability to secure major projects.
"Everett, it’s been such a long time since we last met! I was just thinking about inviting you to dinner, but you beat me to it," Mr. Taylor said with a smile.
Everett shot a cold glance at Charlotte and said flatly, "Uncle Taylor , Auntie, I invited you here tonight for something important."
Mrs. Taylor smiled warmly. "Well, let’s discuss it over dinner. Mingming, pour Everett some tea and apologize."
Charlotte looked at her stepmother in confusion before letting out a sharp, mocking laugh. "Why should I apologize? What did I do wrong?"
Mrs. Taylor was at a loss for words. When Charlotte was younger, she had been obedient, but as she grew older, she became more defiant and uncontrollable.
Mrs. Taylor had once helped Ella in the past. She, too, was a stepmother, but she wasn’t a narrow-minded person.
