Chapter 54 - Inauguration Party… (2/2)

Alonzo was attending the guests with his other family members. His parents, grandmother and little sister had already arrived in City S in the morning and stayed at the same hotel, in which the party was being held on.

When he was busy talking with everybody, his father brought someone to meet with him. When Alonzo saw the person, his face remained expressionless but still he greeted him respectfully, ”Hello Mr. Parker. Thanks for coming here in our inauguration party.”

”Your welcome Alonzo. How can't I attend the party of my future son-in-law's company? Obviously we have to come.” Mr. Parker said and patted Alonzo's shoulder.

The person before Alonzo was none other than Mr. Robert Parker, the chairman of Parker Textiles..

He came there with his wife Mrs. Jennie Parker in the same morning and stayed in the same hotel as Brown family.

As he never wanted to marry their daughter, he never show any type of special hostility towards them. He always treated them like how he treated his other colleagues.

Mr. Porter Brown was not happy with his son's behavior and as a result, he shot Alonzo a sharp glare.

To cover the awkwardness, he said, ”Our whole family is very happy that you took out some of your precious time from your busy schedule to attend the party.. But it is bad that my future daughter in law couldn't come here.”

”Regina was very eager to attend the party but at the last moment, an urgent call came about her work. That's why she couldn't come today. But she asked me to greet everyone on the behalf of her.” Mrs. Parker said as she hold the hands of her husband, Mr. Parker.

”Such a good child.. Though she couldn't come but still sent us her good wishes.” Mrs. Brown praised about Regina.

Alonzo ignored their stupid conversation and instead asked, ”Why haven't Cole come today? How much I know about him, he doesn't have any important work today.”

Mrs. Parker replied, ”Oh.. He is not well son. He's a little sick, so he couldn't come.”

Alonzo nodded but someone else's facial expression had changed completely after listening it…
