Paige and Kyrie had arrived at Halcyon Hotel's carpark at around 5 o'clock in the evening. She immediately spotted Lamont's car when she was getting of her car.

Ignoring him, Paige immediately entered the hotel with Kyrie. Kyrie had booked a large hall for the banquet tonight as he had invited a large crowd to attend this event.

After all, the senior executives of Anderson Group could already fill three whole tables on their own!

Paige and Kyrie entered the hall earlier so that they could carry out their responsibilities as the host of this banquet.

Kyrie immediately started to inform her about the seating arrangement as she reviewed the menu for tonight's banquet.

Paige noted that Charles and Declan had been arranged to sit next to her on the main table as well.

The only option they had was to drug her wine as they would want to evade the crowd's eyes.

Paige glanced at Kyrie before asking, "Has Sophia arrived?"

"Yes, she's here!" Kyrie nodded.

'I'm not feeling well today, so please arrange for her to sit on the main table for the toast." Kyrie paused at her words.

How would they carry out their plans if Paige was refusing to drink any alcohol?

He refused immediately, "I'm worried that the other guests will be displeased. You're the host of this banquet after all."


"Stop trying to force me to drink. Will you be responsible if I have to be sent to the emergency ward for over-drinking?" Paige questioned Kyrie coldly.

"No, I did not mean that! You have to understand that the clients would be upset if you did not join them for their toasts. They have been supporting Anderson Group this whole time, so you could at least drink a few sips to pay your respects to our saviours..."

"Our clients are our saviours, so does that mean that we're their slaves?" Paige interrupted.

"Are you saying that Anderson Group should ignore their own limits and do everything possible to please our clients? I assume that you're the one drinking in my dad's stead, so why can't you do this for me too? Is it because you respect my father but not me?" Kyrie had stopped arguing when he realised that it was futile. He only smiled before replying her, "Of course not, Miss Anderson. I'm loyal to both you and Mr. Anderson!"

"Kyrie, I'm not that dumb, did you think that you could've gotten away with this?" Paige chuckled coldly.

"You said that you invited our company's honourable clients, so I went to investigate the guest list in detail. The hideous and disgusting fellow Campbell has never even worked with our company before, so why is he at our thanksgiving dinner?"

"You see... President Campbell is our future client as his company is planning to invest billions into our projects."

"Is that so?"

"Yea, we met with him to discuss the contract yesterday, remember?" Kyrie reminded her.

"Yes, I remember. However, my father has other children other than me, so why does everyone think that he'll be leaving his company to me?"

Paige's smile was even colder now, "Let Sophia sit next to that pervert Campbell so that she can serve him!"

Kyrie did not expect Paige's sudden changes, "But Miss..."

"I'll fire you if you don't follow my orders right now! I could replace you with someone better in an instant, so why aren't you listening to my words?"

Kyrie was furious at Paige's harsh scolding.

"I'll bear with it for now, but you'll be done for once you end up on Declan's bed!" Kyrie thought.

He pushed down the rage that was burning inside him before replying, "Alright, I'll rearrange the seating arrangements again so that Sophia will be next to Declan."

"You should've listened to me from the start," Paige glanced at her watch, "Make sure you check the details, I'm going out for a bit and I'll be back when the guests arrive."

Kyrie smiled coldly at Paige's retreating figure. Once she was gone, he immediately approached Sophia with swollen eyes.

"Paige refused to sit next to Declan because of how disgusting he is. She also ordered you to sit next to him and entertain him throughout the banquet."

"Alright. Arrange everything according to her wishes then, as this is the last time that she'll be able to order us around." Sophia chuckled.
