Dai Anqiang smiled and said, "I see..."
She sighed deeply in her heart. The Haywood family mainly dealt in furs, and most of their profits came from selling furs.
But now, the Edwin family wants to dominate the fur market and is trying to forcibly buy the furs from the Heywood family at a low price.
Her father naturally disagreed, since giving up the fur market would be tantamount to giving up the hard work of several generations of the Heywood family.
That's why Diane came to the dinner to try and make connections with families who could buy Heywood family furs.
Just then, the noble ladies beside Diane became nervous and hurriedly tidied their appearance.
The wine glasses they held wobbled, their hands trembling with excitement as if they had seen something extraordinary.
Diane followed their gaze and saw Ryan walking towards them with two wine glasses in his hands.
The manner in which he acted clearly indicated that he wanted to invite someone to have a drink together.
Diane's heart skipped a beat the moment she saw Ryan.
But she quickly scoffed to herself: she wasn't good-looking, and all the ladies present were daughters of count families; in terms of status, she was no match for them.
Diane had just taken a few steps to the side when she heard a gentle male voice.
"You must be Miss Diane Haywood. May I invite you to have a drink with me?"
Diane and the other young ladies were taken aback: Huh?
Diane: Looking for me!?
Diane was stunned into silence when she saw the glass of red wine that Ryan handed her.
Coming to her senses, Diane clutched her black dress and bowed to Ryan, then carefully accepted the glass of red wine he offered.
"It is Diane's honor."
Ryan slightly opened his left arm, and Diane walked to Ryan's side, gently taking his left arm. She felt light as a feather, still in shock.
Ryan led Diane toward the center of the banquet.
Austin didn't follow immediately, but observed Renn from a distance, ready to come to Renn's side at any moment if Renn needed him.
The ladies beside Austin stared wide-eyed at Ryan and Diane's departing figures, taking a long time to recover.
"Young Master Renn actually invited Diane?! You know, among all the banquets Young Master Renn has attended, apart from Princess Caroline and Miss Anna, he has never invited anyone else!"
"When did Diane get involved with Young Master Ryan?"
"I envy... no, I'm jealous."
"Hmph~ Who isn't envious? Dozens of noble ladies attended the banquet, but only Diane was invited by Young Master Rein. Look at the way the others look at Diane, they could practically kill you."
"Sister Diane is really something. With Young Master Ryan's connection, how dare the Edwin family act so presumptuously in front of the Haywood family?"
The central area of the banquet.
When the men and women sitting on the sofa saw Diane and Ryan walking towards them arm in arm, they all got up to make room for the couple.
"Good evening, Mr. Renn."
"Young Master Renn, you've arrived."
"Young Master Renn, please have a seat."
Before leaving, the nobles of high status took the opportunity to say goodbye to Renn.
As Diane watched the sons of marquises and daughters of earls respectfully step aside, she clearly felt the power of the person beside her for the first time.
Ryan led Diane to sit on the soft leather sofa.
Diane took a deep breath, raised her glass, and cautiously opened her mouth.
"Young Master Renn, what brings you here?"
