CHAPTER 60: THE BANQUET
"Alright, I have no problem on my end. I'll go over and sign tomorrow," Sky's voice was filled with uncontrollable joy.
He never expected to receive such good news!
The helplessness that arose from being rejected by Second Uncle Diane to repair the ring was completely washed away by the joy brought by this phone call.
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
"Mhmm, see you tomorrow. Thank you...thank you so much!" After hanging up the phone, Sky couldn't help but feel excited.
During this time, he had been worrying about his mother's surgery every day.
He never expected to receive such news now.
This was truly the luckiest moment in his life, which had been filled with disasters for the past year.

Meanwhile, on the other side.
Li Family Group's top floor, in the CEO's office.
Dan had just finished a call and walked over to report to Dray.
"Master Li, the hospital has already notified Mr. Sky according to your orders. His mother's surgery has been arranged properly, and Mr. Robert has agreed to personally perform the surgery, all thanks to your face. However...there is one thing that I don't quite understand."
"Why did you specially invite Mr. Robert to come back and perform the surgery for Mr. Sky's mother without telling him? After all, he is such an expert that not everyone can afford his services. This is completely consuming your favors."
It was said that at the beginning of the year, Mr. Zhao from the Zhao family needed surgery, but they couldn't get Mr. Robert to come.
Dan thought that the arrangement of Master Li was too much of a compliment to Mr. Sky.
Dray was sitting in his leather chair behind the desk, with a cigarette between his fingers.
The smoke rose from his fingertips, making it hard to see his expression at the moment.
Upon hearing Dan's words, Dray's thin lips curved into a faint arc, and he extinguished the spark between his fingers in the ashtray.
He raised his eyes, his gaze playful, with a hint of casual chilliness. "Consider it a small reward for him. After all, even pets at home need to be rewarded occasionally for being well-behaved, don't they?"
As he spoke, it seemed that he remembered something.
His mind seemed to flash back to the moment when Sky was being bullied, and his lips were tightly pursed with a bright red color.
Dray's narrow and deep eyes narrowed slightly.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Master Li, the car is ready. Old Master Li and his wife have just left for the banquet. We can go now, and the timing is perfect."
Lary, the second assistant, knocked on the door and entered, reporting respectfully and politely.
Dray stood up and was about to leave.
Lary: "By the way, Master Li, I have already sent someone to deliver the dresses and jewelry needed for the banquet to Miss kins' place. The driver is also waiting at the kin family's doorstep. She will arrive earlier than you. Do you want her to wait for you at the door?"
Bella has recently gotten into big trouble, and if it weren't for Master Li, she would not have been able to escape.
For this banquet, Old Master Li specifically stated that Master Li should bring a female companion.
It is clear that he wants to meet Master Li's current romantic interest.
Since Master Li has already clearly rejected Li family's arranged marriage proposal and informed them that he intends to marry Bella in the future, Bella's first appearance in front of the Li family tonight as the future Mrs. Li must be graceful and proper.
Otherwise, if Old Master Li is not satisfied with Bella, it could hinder the marriage.
If they were to look for a more suitable match for Master Li in the future, it would surely make Dray, who has always been unwilling to be manipulated by the family, unhappy.
Moreover, Bella was the woman who claimed to have saved Dray at the Night shade Club that night. Even if it was just a sense of duty, he would keep his promise. Although he's going along with the play.
Therefore, Miss kin' performance at tonight's banquet was particularly important.
"No need, let her go in first and find my mother," Dray paused for a moment, looking serious, and then instructed, "And remember to have someone follow her. If anything happens, report to me immediately."
