Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1104: The Girl He Likes
Justin Xavier flew to City of Crestfall with the pregnant Leah Thorne to attend the birthday party of Yuric Thatcher, the young master of the Thatcher family.
At the party, President Thatcher and Mrs. Thatcher personally greeted Justin Xavier and Leah Thorne, "I can’t believe President Xavier and Mrs. Xavier are attending my son’s birthday party, this truly brings honor to us and adds splendor to our humble abode."
Justin Xavier held Leah Thorne close, there were many people here, so he kept Leah snugly by his side, fearing she might get bumped or jostled, "President Thatcher and Mrs. Thatcher, you’re too kind."
The Thatcher family was a prominent, well-reputed family in City of Crestfall, known for their cultured background, both President Thatcher and Mrs. Thatcher exuded grace and elegance, humble and courteous.
The Xavier family and the Thatcher family also had some business dealings, and Leah Thorne wanted to see Dianna Hollis, which was why Justin Xavier had brought her along.
Leah Thorne glanced around but couldn’t spot Dianna, and she quietly asked, "Honey, will Dianna really come? I haven’t seen her~"
Justin Xavier affectionately tousled Leah Thorne’s hair, "Don’t worry, Dianna will definitely be here. The Thatcher and Young families are very close."
The Young family that Jodie Young belonged to, who was Dianna’s mother, was the leading female tycoon in City of Crestfall, having deep ties with the Thatcher family.
Leah Thorne looked at Justin Xavier with puzzlement, sensing there might be some hidden meaning behind his words "very close."
Just then, a commotion erupted around her ears, "Look, Cain Shaw is here!"
Cain Shaw?
Leah’s heart skipped a beat, as Justin hadn’t mentioned her brother would be here; he actually came!
Leah quickly looked up to see the banquet hall doors swing open with a bang, and a tall, formidable figure drew everyone’s gaze. Cain Shaw had truly arrived.
They hadn’t seen each other for three years, and in those three years Cain Shaw had become a major figure in Starfall City, shedding his old black T-shirts for tailored black shirts, wearing sharp black dress pants and polished black shoes, enhancing his handsome aura.
Over these three years, Cain Shaw seemed unchanged, yet somehow changed in every way; time had tempered his sharp brilliance, his dark eyes were deep and layered, his commanding presence was suffocating, only his eyes contained hints of thrilling coldness.
Cain Shaw entered, all eyes "swish" focused on him, Leah could hear the excited voices of the ladies around her,
"Oh my, Cain Shaw! Cain Shaw actually came!"
"Cain Shaw is so manly, truly like walking dynamite, I’ve heard many prominent daughters want to... have a fling with him!"
"Calm down, you’ve got to maintain your poise as an elite lady, curb your drool and hold onto your dignity!"...
Seeing her brother here naturally delighted Leah, she understood his powerful allure, contrasting sharply with those conventional business executives or young talents; her brother’s wild and rebellious nature captivated those elite ladies far more, as nothing was more satisfying to a "good student" than conquering a "bad boy."
Moreover, Cain Shaw was now influential and in control, commanding Starfall City’s winds, the kind of man emerging from bloodshed, stimulating both fear and love, attracting those elite daughters to sneak glances, hearts pounding restlessly.
"Honey, you didn’t tell me my brother would be here~" Leah whispered to Justin Xavier.
Justin Xavier smirked, "Surprise for you."
Leah was tempted to stand on tiptoe and give his handsome face a big kiss.
At this moment, President Thatcher and Mrs. Thatcher hurried forward to greet him, "Cain, you finally came, we’ve been waiting for you for so long."
"Yuric, come on over, Cain is here!" Mrs. Thatcher warmly called over tonight’s main guest, Yuric Thatcher.
Yuric was the only son of the Thatcher family, very graceful, having returned from overseas business studies to take over Thatcher Industries, young and promising.
Yuric bid farewell to his business friends and approached Cain Shaw, "Hello, Uncle."
As the Shaw family and Thatcher family were related, with Christina Shaw being Mrs. Thatcher’s niece and thus Yuric’s aunt, Cain was naturally Yuric’s uncle.
Yuric deeply admired his uncle, anyone who ascended to major status in Starfall City within a few short years had to possess iron-clad skills, Yuric much respected and admired Uncle Cain.
Cain Shaw raised a hand, his large palm landed on Yuric’s shoulder in a patting motion, "You’ve grown quite a bit since a few years ago."
Yuric loved fitness and was strong, yet he felt every one of Cain’s casual pats press heavily into his shoulder, leaving him internally shaken.
Uncle had amazing strength.
Yuric glanced at Cain Shaw’s physique, standing at 1.9 meters, the thin shirt faintly revealing his layered muscles, brimming with masculine power, Yuric felt envious, wondering when he’d gain such strength.
"Uncle, I’ve grown up now." Yuric smiled.
"Indeed, Cain, Yuric has grown, already at the age to settle down and start a career. You know many people, if there’s any well-bred, refined ladies to introduce to Yuric, he hasn’t got a girlfriend yet." Mrs. Thatcher chuckled, covering her mouth.
This...
Before Cain Shaw could speak, Yuric interrupted Mrs. Thatcher, "Mom, I don’t need you to introduce a girlfriend, I already have someone I like."
Mrs. Thatcher seemed aware of her son’s feelings, and was quite pleased with the girl, she smiled, "Why so tense, I’m just joking."
Cain Shaw knew the Thatcher family had discerning taste, the girl who could conquer both this proud young talent, as well as satisfy President and Mrs. Thatcher, must be remarkable, he asked, "Yuric, which girl do you like?"
"It’s..." Yuric looked around, searching to see if she’d arrived.
Just then, two figures emerged from the banquet hall, the guests had arrived.
Yuric’s eyes brightened, "Uncle, look quickly, that’s the girl I like, she’s here!"
Witnessing Yuric’s excited expression, Cain Shaw tucked one hand in his pants pocket and slightly turned, he raised his dark eyes to glance towards the door, initially languidly, yet the next moment, he slightly froze.
"Uncle, she’s the Young family’s daughter, named Dianna Hollis." Yuric eagerly introduced.
Dianna Hollis.
Otherwise known as Tanya Sullivan.
Cain Shaw’s dark eyes pierced through the crowd and landed on Dianna. It had been three full years since he’d last seen her.
Back when she left, she was just 19, not yet blossomed, but now, three years later, at 21, she has bloomed fully like a stunningly serene plum.
Dianna entered alongside her mother, Jodie Young, and tonight, at 21, wore a simple black spaghetti-strap dress, fine straps hugging her snowy shoulders, black hair loose revealing her delicate oval face, truly fresh and subtle, graceful and charming.
