CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 62: NO WORSE THAN FAYE STERLING

Seeing Shannon Sheffield’s surprised expression, Adeline Sheffield explained: "This time the new investors have provided quite a considerable amount of investment, and it seems their funds are substantial.

In Veridia City, there are no more than three such capable entities, aside from the Faulkner Family, I suspect it might be the Sullivan Family or the Jennings Family.

You don’t need to worry about your coming-of-age gala, this event is bound to become legendary in Veridia City."

The Sterling Family’s ten million, plus this mysterious investor’s twenty million, is enough for the Sheffield Family to host a lavish gala, which Adeline valued greatly.

Regarding Adeline’s speculation, James Sheffield was also in full agreement, he started speaking: "Adeline, this matter is of great significance, you must handle it well."

"Dad, I understand."

To avoid offending anyone, he directly arranged for two jewelry companies to negotiate together.

Shannon Sheffield’s thoughts were already elsewhere; she hadn’t absorbed anything Adeline had just said.

Why couldn’t it be the Faulkner Family? It must be the Faulkner Family investing, maybe they’re even doing it for her.

Alaric Faulkner, that’s the man she likes!

She’s liked him for so long...

It’s just a pity that a few years ago, he got together with Faye Sterling and even had a son with her.

As a socialite, she couldn’t bring herself to compete with Faye Sterling, so she forcibly suppressed all those feelings.

However, now that Adeline told her that the Faulkner Family might be investing in her coming-of-age gala.

This reignited the spark that had been extinguished in her heart.

Faye Sterling is no match for her; in terms of family background, she’s well-matched with Alaric, in terms of talent, she’s a Stanford graduate, and in terms of looks, Faye Sterling doesn’t compare.

She’s not one bit inferior to Faye Sterling.

Although Faye Sterling gave Alaric Faulkner a child, it’s been seven years, and Alaric Faulkner hasn’t shown any intention of marrying her, which proves Alaric Faulkner doesn’t like her either.

Perhaps this time, she could use the coming-of-age gala to reconnect with Alaric Faulkner, maybe even become his woman.

Shannon Sheffield secretly rejoiced in her heart.

She recalled what James Sheffield said earlier, about choosing a suitable man at the coming-of-age gala.

Her future husband could only be a charismatic figure like Alaric Faulkner; no one else catches her eye, no one in Veridia City can compare to Alaric Faulkner.

Adeline Sheffield glanced at the time, stood up, and said: "Alright, I still have to meet with the two jewelry design leads, so I won’t chat with you anymore."

"Adeline." James Sheffield called him back.

Adeline stopped, "Dad, is there anything else you want to say?"

James Sheffield’s eyes shifted as he said: "This time, you can’t offend either the Sterling Family or that person. If you choose only one, wouldn’t that mean giving up on the other?"

Hearing this, Adeline nodded, "That’s correct, and it’s also what’s troubling me. Dad, do you have any good solutions?"

James Sheffield, being experienced in the business world, was smooth and decisive.

"Here’s what you can do: have both companies collaborate on the design, this way we won’t offend either side, and Shannon can change outfits twice that night."

Adeline thought for a moment and agreed with a nod.

Previously, he had informed the Sterling Family about the new investment and returned part of the money, which seemed to have upset the Sterling Family.

This way, they indeed wouldn’t offend the Sterling Family.

Adeline turned to Shannon Sheffield, softly saying: "Shannon, once both companies’ design proposals are out, I’ll show them to you."

Shannon Sheffield immediately nodded, smiling, "Alright, brother, you decide."

This time, with Alaric Faulkner investing in her coming-of-age gala, he will surely attend the gala, and she must appear dazzling before him.

After Adeline left, Shannon Sheffield couldn’t sit still; she eagerly said: "Dad, I suddenly think the outfit I chose earlier isn’t good; I’ll go pick out another one."

With that, she didn’t wait for James Sheffield to respond and just ran off.
