Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 143: Your Daughter Is Married

Simon Sutton was chatting with a few friends about recent business affairs. The Sutton Family has been quite prominent lately, and people often come by to exchange pleasantries.

A CEO walked over with a wine glass, raised his glass to signal: "Old Man Sutton, long time no see. Business is booming lately, huh."

Simon Sutton gave an appropriate smile and said modestly, "No, we’re far behind compared to your Song Corporation."

After saying that, he took a sip of his drink along with Mr. Song: "Ah, you’re just too modest, that’s not good."

"In the future, maybe we can have more business dealings."

Of course, Simon Sutton had to respond; that’s how it is in the business world—no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

He wouldn’t turn down an opportunity that comes knocking.

The two exchanged a few more polite words, and Mr. Song had drunk quite a bit, so his speech was less reserved, even bringing up some family gossip.

As they talked, Mr. Song suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes brightened, and he said, "By the way, Old Man Sutton, you’re too unfair. Your daughter got married, and we didn’t hear a thing, didn’t even give us old guys a chance to bring gifts."

Upon hearing this, Simon Sutton paused for a moment, then replied with a smile, "You must be mistaken from drinking too much, my daughter isn’t married yet."

The man instinctively said, "Isn’t she? That can’t be right."

Then he carefully recalled, thinking there was a banquet he attended. He heard someone mention that a daughter from the Sutton Family had an impressive marriage with the Sterling Family.

There were quite a few people there, he only remembered that someone from the Sterling Family attended, bringing a female companion rumored to be his wife. At the time, many noble ladies were upset.

Although he knew someone had married, no one was clear about who the bride was, except that someone mentioned it was Simon Sutton’s daughter.

But now, hearing Simon Sutton say this, he felt like he made a mistake, and laughed heartily, saying, "Then maybe I was mistaken. Sorry about that."

Simon Sutton replied, "No worries."

Relieved inwardly, he thought to himself, how could Mia be married already.

...

After the man left, Simon Sutton chatted with a few old friends from the business circle for a while, and then saw someone smiling, saying: "I heard Old Man Jiang and his peers are here today, perfect, let’s go pay our respects to those elders."

"These elders don’t come out often, missed them last time, bumping into them today, we must go say hello."

Upon hearing this, Simon Sutton didn’t object, as these elders have a good reputation in the industry, having worked hard their entire lives. Generally, people respect them.

There are only a few elders from the older generation left.

Simon Sutton thought of paying respects to the elders too, so he went along.

Upon arriving, the elders were just about to get up, seeing Simon Sutton, they greeted him warmly: "Come sit."

"It’s like speaking of the devil, here you are. We were just talking about you among ourselves, and here you come, isn’t that something."

Simon Sutton usually only greeted these elders in passing, not expecting them to talk about him.

"What a coincidence for me to come."

"Perfect, perfect, we were just thinking of inviting you for a chess game, and here you are."

"Joe, bring my chess set."

The person next to him laughed upon hearing this and got the chess set ready.
