Chapter 511 - The Worlds Most Eligible Bachelor (1/2)
Nicolae knew that Terry was actually a really intelligent and impressive guy. His friend was not only handsome but also smart. Not to mention how he had managed to lead the Schneider Group at a very young age.
Anyone would agree that Terry should have been able to shine tonight. Unfortunately, Elios Linden unexpectedly came and grabbed all the attention.
After several classy performances and the presentation of various awards, the time came for the announcement of ”World's Most Eligible Bachelor”.
Millian Landon stepped onto the stage and cheerfully smiled, carrying a list of nominations for men who were considered the most desired single men in the world today.
This was the only non-serious award that the Ritz Gala had presented since twenty-five years ago to lighten up the formal atmosphere of the show, but the award that was initially presented only for fun was getting more and more prestigious and finally becoming the most eagerly awaited award at the end of the Ritz Gala event every year.
Secretly, all the bachelors who were nominated wanted to get recognized as a man better than others.

”This is the award I've been waiting for,” Terry commented. Nicolae nodded with a smile.
Millian read the names of the nominations one by one and each name that was mentioned will surely be followed by thundering applause. When Terry's name was mentioned, he just raised his hand nonchalantly and nodded here and there, as if he didn't care at all about his nomination.
Nicolae could only shake his head because he knew very well how badly did Terry really want this award.
”And this year, the Most Eligible Bachelor award goes to ...” Millian turned to Alaric's table and her words stopped in mid-air.
The winner's name on the card in her hand had the name Elios Linden, but Alaric had just got off from his seat and had walked out of the ballroom indifferently.
It would be a shame if Millian read his name as the winner and Elios completely ignored this prestigious award.
Ugh ... Millian had to think about the reputation of the event she was holding and she had to think fast.
Instantly her eyes fell on Terry who was sitting at his table with not just one, but four very handsome young men at once. If the camera panned at them, obviously people would be very excited because they could see such a beautiful view of the same table.
Finally, quick thinking Millian raised her hand to raise the card without showing its contents and exclaimed, ”Terrence Chan, President of the Schneider Group!!”
Applause immediately thundering and all cameras were directed at Terry's table. Girls held their breath because they had seen Terry sitting with London and Rune and there were Nicolae and Aldebar joining them through the Virconnect space.
This can't be real!! Five men at once! So handsome and charming, they all thought.
The live audience and 30 million viewers from all over the world who took part in the program via Virconnect immediately became curious as to who the five guests were.
Terry, who didn't expect his name to be called, looked confused for a few seconds and then he stood up, still with a look of disbelief, walking toward the stage.
”Whoaa ... the famous Schneider family turned out to have a lot of handsome men. We are very lucky to see them. Usually, the family is very reclusive.”
Such were the comments of so many people. A moment later the news about the good looking men from the Schneider family immediately became trending on Splitz.
”Th ... thank you for the award,” Terry said, still surprised. He had suspected that damn Elios Linden would win all the attention. But in fact, now it was he who won the award he wanted ...
