Deep down, Catherine knew full well that the Mead family only invited her simply because of her relationship with Freya.
At the thought of Freya, she believed that Freya would probably be here as well.
Immediately after the thought flashed across her mind, she saw Freya and Heidi walking in together. Behind them was an elegant young man who was probably in his early 20s. He had clear skin and a striking appearance.
Catherine vaguely remembered that this person was Nathan's only son, Ryan Snow. She had seen him from afar in the previous banquet but never talked to him.
"Cathy..." The moment Freya saw Catherine, she immediately went to her enthusiastically. "Why didn't you tell me that you’d be here?"
"I had a lot of stuff to handle, so I forgot to inform you." Catherine nodded at Heidi politely and shook hands with Ryan after that.
"Hi, Madam Snow, Young Master Snow." Similarly, Wesley shook hands with Heidi and Ryan with a smile. "Young Master Snow, your reputation precedes you. I've long since heard about your capability. You're
just like your dad." 1
"President Lyons, I'm flattered by your compliment. You’re young and promising too." Although Ryan was younger than Wesley, he had been subtly influenced b y his father and uncle whom he had been living with since young. He was a smooth talker but not arrogant.
Catherine silently watched the scene from the side. During the banquet previously when Nathan acknowledged Freya as his goddaughter, Catherine had witnessed how Wesley quickly played up to Senator Mead with her own eyes. At that time, she thought it was normal for Wesley to have the intention of getting acquainted with influential figures. Nevertheless, only today did she realize that Wesley was great at buttering them up.
All of a sudden, Heidi looked at Catherine and said thoughtfully, "President Lyons, you have a glib tongue. How blessed Miss Jones is."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Catherine’s gaze. In her eyes, Heidi meant that Wesley was great a t buttering up influential figures.
Luckily, Senator Mead and Madam Mead soon approached them enthusiastically with their daughter.
"Uncle Gavin, this is the gift I prepared for Hannah.” Ryan handed the gift to Hannah chivalrously.
Ryan had known Hannah since he was young.
