Chapter 227
Dalton remembered that Henley had mentioned Vesta and Thorne would be coming too.
He stood up and said, “Alright, once your grandpa finishes up, shoot me a text, will you?” “Sure thing,” Kelvin replied.
With that, Dalton and Kelvin headed out first.
Just as they reached outside, Granger and Moran arrived.
The Hawkins and Spencer families immediately went to greet them.
Granger shook hands with Henley.
Moran looked around. “Where are Thorne and Vesta? Haven’t they-”
Before she could finish, she spotted Charlene.
“Damn!”
She actually showed up too.
Granger, puzzled by Moran’s reaction, followed her gaze and also saw Charlene. His eyes darkened a bit.
Just as Stewart was heading towards Charlene and Helena, Granger turned to Moran and Henley and said, ‘I’m going to go say hi over there.” And with that, he walked away. “Mr. Ferguson, Ms. Ross,” Stewart and Charlene turned around at the sound of his voice.
“Well, if it isn’t Mr. Harden,” Stewart said with a nod.
Hearing the name Harden, Helena recalled something Carl and Vernon had mentioned before, and she gave Granger a curious glance.
Noticing the closeness between Charlene and Helena, Granger quickly guessed Helena’s identity. He greeted her respectfully, “You must be Helena. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” “Hello, Mr. Harden,” Helena replied with a warm smile.
The Hawkins and Spencer families had assumed Granger was off to greet someone of great importance.
To their surprise, it turned out to be just Stewart and Charlene.
While they could understand Stewart’s presence, Charlene and Helena were a different story.
Seeing Granger treating Charlene and Helena with such respect, Georgina’s eyes flickered as she glanced at Moran and asked, “Mr. Albright, over there…”
Moran explained, “Granger’s involved in some significant business dealings with Stewart. Charlene has quite a bit of influence at PrimeStar now. Previously, Stewart had considered canceling the collaboration with Granger because of Charlene. For the sake of business, Granger had to set aside personal grievances and maintain a cordial relationship with Charlene for the time being.”
Katie and Georgina nodded, finally understanding. They were well aware of PrimeStar’s significance.
After all, the Hawkins family once sought collaboration with PrimeStar.
› However, Charlene had been the reason it fell through, leaving them with a bit of resentment towards her.
This explained why they didn’t suspect anything more about Granger’s polite demeanor toward Charlene and Helena.
Rhoda, holding Georgina’s hand, whispered, “Who would have thought Mr. Ferguson is quite taken with Charlene.”

She wasn’t too thrilled seeing Charlene being so favored by Stewart.
Georgina, on the other hand, remained composed. “No rush.”
Charlene and Stewart’s situation was still budding.
Once Thorne actually went through with the divorce, Charlene would be a divorced woman. The Ferguson family would hardly welcome a woman who’d been married and had kids.
These good days for Charlene wouldn’t last long.
Just then, Leah showed up. She hadn’t planned on coming since she wasn’t really interested in the art exhibit. But, it had been a while since she last saw Granger.
After hearing from Vesta that Granger would be attending, she dressed up and decided to make an appearance.
Upon arrival, she exchanged pleasantries with her family and Moran. Just as she was about to ask Moran if Granger had shown up, she turned slightly and spotted Granger chatting with Charlene not too far away.
