Chapter 13 A Date
After taking Maria to Sheffield, Bill began to arrange a date for her and Anthony.
Right now, it was the first priority on Bill's agenda.He wouldn't be able to rest easy until Anthony agreed to get engaged to Maria.It was the best possible result Bill could think of.
If things worked out this way, then on one hand, Bill wouldn't offend the Wilson family, and on the other hand, Vivian wouldn't have to marry a cripple.
It would be Maria who would have to marry that cripple who had already lost the right to inherit the Wilson family's property.
Bill had been observing Maria for a long time.
Although she usually possessed a cold temperament with a fiery look in her eyes, there was no doubt that she was a beauty.It was fortunate that Maria never wore makeup and always dressed in plain, simple clothes.
Otherwise, she would easily outshine Vivian.
All the clothes and jewelry Vivian wore were from famous brands, and her cosmetics and skincare products cost an arm and a leg.
One look at her and anyone could tell that she was a high-maintenance woman.
But even so, sometimes when Bill looked at Vivian, who put painstaking effort into every detail of her appearance, and then at Maria's naturally stunning face, he felt that Vivian was way out of Maria's league.
"Maria, Anthony has agreed to meet you today.Go and prepare for it."
As soon as Bill secured an appointment with Anthony for Maria, he informed her about it.
"Prepare what?" Maria asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
Taken aback, Bill scoffed.
"I mean that you should change into a beautiful dress and put on some makeup, of course.You can't just go dressed like this to meet Anthony, can you?"
"Why not? I think it looks fine," Maria said indifferently.
She was wearing a simple white shirt with a pair of light blue jeans.Her long dark hair was tied into a ponytail, making her look neat, bright, and vibrant.
However, Bill was obviously not satisfied.
"Do you know where you will be meeting Anthony Wilson? The Jade Hotel! It is the best luxury hotel in Sheffield.If you go there dressed like this, you will look worse than their hotel waiters."
Upon hearing this, a hint of interest finally appeared on Maria's face.
"Did you just say...Jade Hotel?"
Bill glared at her.
What was wrong with this girl? She acted like she was very familiar with Jade Hotel.
"What?! Jade Hotel?"
Vivian, who happened to be nearby, cried out in surprise.
"It's just a normal date.Why did you choose Jade Hotel for that? Besides, how did you even manage to book a table there?"
Vivian had once starred as the lead actress in a web series.
After the completion of the shooting, the crew had tried to book the Jade Hotel for their celebration party, but failed.
The reason Jade Hotel had given for their refusal was that they were already booked to full capacity and could not accept new reservations.
However, Vivian had later heard that only big-name actors like Oscar winners could hold their celebration parties at the Jade Hotel.
In the view of Jade Hotel, Vivian, who was just a new actress in a web series, was not even close to being qualified to be holding a party at their hotel.
If they accepted Vivian's reservation, they would be lowering the standards of their own hotel, so they had politely refused the reservation instead.
So naturally, Vivian couldn't swallow the news from her father at all.She couldn't even hold a celebration party for the success of her web series at the Jade Hotel.
How could Maria go there simply for a date with a cripple?
"Dad?!"
Vivian prompted again, unable to contain her dissatisfaction with the situation.
A bitter smile spread across Bill's face.
"Vivian, you must have misunderstood.I didn’t book the Jade Hotel for this meeting; the Wilson family did.The Wilson family is a top VIP member of Jade Hotel, so they can patronize any of their branches all over the world at any time."
Vivian couldn't believe her ears.
This...
Was this the difference between an ordinary rich merchant and a family with centuries and centuries of generational wealth? © Vivian wasn't allowed to book a reservation at the Jade Hotel even for a grand celebration party, but the Wilson family could go there as and when they liked.
At the thought that Maria would be able to go to the Jade Hotel soon, jealousy bubbled up in Vivian's heart.
But she shook her head and comforted herself silently, "Forget it! No matter how powerful the Wilson family is, I can’t marry a cripple.Besides, he's not even the heir of the Wilson family anymore." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Thinking of this, Vivian felt much better.
