Chapter 183 So Cute
The next day, Lamia still had to swallow her pride and apologize.
However, despite bringing many gifts, she was refused entry and left outside.
She was furious and vented her frustration to James. James then handed the matter over to Christian.
Christian instructed the public relations department to repost the announcement from Graves Group directly. The public relations department used flattering words and indicated that Christian would prepare a wedding gift to be presented at any time.
No unnecessary words were said.
Perhaps Christian's response and approach were appropriate, which gained some favorable impression from netizens in social media and ensured that the confrontation between the two sides didn't turn ugly, so netizens were exceptionally forgiving.
The online criticism against Patterson Group gradually subsided.
Christian sent someone to make an appointment with Baxter, only confirming a specific response before arranging a time and place for the apology.
Although Graves Group was angry at the actions of the Patterson family, Christian's actions were indeed dignified.
Finally, Derek and Christian met face to face.
Christian noticed the shiny crystals on Derek's phone case at the dinner table.
Christian's eyes shimmered as he suddenly remembered that Anastasia also liked decorating her phone case with crystals.
Christian said, "Mr. Derek Graves, your phone case seems to have a unique style."
Derek glanced at his phone case with indulgent eyes and sighed helplessly, "My sister loves to mess around. She must have decorated it for me during our last meal at home."
"Mr. Derek Graves has a sister?"
Christian was surprised after feeling relieved.
Derek smiled at Christian meaningfully, "Yes, but she doesn't like to meet with outsiders."
Even Amanda's identity was hidden so deeply, let alone Derek's sister!
Christian furrowed his brows momentarily, but quickly refocused on the topic.
Christian said, "Please convey my apologies to Mr. Baxter Graves and Mrs. Amanda Graves. It was indeed inappropriate for the Patterson family to handle this matter."
"Rest assured, Mr. Patterson. They know what kind of people Patterson Group consists of," Derek replied, looking at the refined and calm man in front of him with a hint of pity.
Leaving aside matters of the heart, Christian was an impeccable individual.
"It's getting late. I'll take my leave," Derek said with a smile and stood up.
Christian had more valuable supplements and gifts sent to the Graves family, and both sides announced their cooperation on a project, gradually closing this farce. However, the announcement from Graves Group was not deleted.
After all, courtesy is courtesy, and there are some boundaries should not be crossed.
Recently, Starlight Entertainment secured an Intellectual Property project, big but in popular demand.
Anastasia had been busy with it earlier.
However, because it involved many sensitive aspects, the project had not yet started, and even investments had to be handled with extreme caution.
Julian invited several investors to play golf, and Anastasia naturally accompanied them.
When they arrived at the golf course, she spotted Christian surrounded by a crowd in the center.
She glanced at Julian.
Julian smirked, "Christian invested the most money!"
Anastasia was speechless.
Christian looked up and saw Anastasia. His initially gloomy and stern expression softened for a moment. Among the crowd, his aura was restrained yet dominant, tall and upright, with deep facial features. As they approached, Christian, unusually, took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Mr. Quinn."
Julian was momentarily stunned, then smiled and reached out.
"Mr. Patterson..."
Before Julian could finish, Christian immediately let go of Julian's hand and turned to Anastasia, extending his hand.
"Ms. Graves."
Anastasia had applied light makeup, and her eyes and brows were clear. She was wearing slightly fitted sportswear, demonstrating her alluring and slender figure and flexible and beautiful waistline. She looked stunning!
She instinctively extended her hand for a handshake, then intended to withdraw it.
