Chapter 60
“Thank you all for taking the time to be here. I am deeply grateful.”
Colton, dressed in a black evening gown, came down the stairs. He looked out at the hall, his presence commanding.
Alvin immediately sucked in a breath. “It’s been so many years, how is he still so intimidating?”
Annelise raised an eyebrow. “You know him?”
“The eldest child of the Winthrop family. He had military connections and now seems to be in business.”
Alvin added, “Don’t get out of line in front of him. He could send you flying with one punch.”
Annelise took the advice, lowered her head, and popped another fruit candy into her mouth, looking completely harm- less.
Colton had striking, handsome features and deep-set eyes. He was undoubtedly a beauty.
You could tell that despite his martial air, he had an excellent upbringing.
“The Winthrop family has prepared a small gift for everyone.”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and a gift box rose up next to each person’s seat.
Inside the gift boxes were Ginseng Root, Velvet Antler, Cordyceps, and cash!
After seeing this, a playful look appeared in Annelise’s eyes.
Herbert was sitting not far from her. “Some people have probably never seen such fine things in their lives. Look how their eyes are lighting up!”
Alvin was really annoyed by this guy.
But Annelise didn’t care. The gifts from the Winthrop family were genuinely good.
Besides, she could take them home to feed to Lenny.
She didn’t stop what she was doing because of Herbert’s ridicule.
Colton looked around. Most people were hesitant and hadn’t touched the gift boxes.
Even the Kendrick and Davis families put on an appearance of being unmoved by money.
This disappointed Colton somewhat. Were the Four Great Clans of South City also this two-faced?
Colton was a businessman, and he had only one principle: no one dislikes money.

Colton saw that everyone had misunderstood his meaning and was about to explain.
But Annelise spoke up, her voice clear, “Yes, the quality of the gifts prepared by the Winthrop family is excellent.”
Herbert sounded like he was listening to a joke. “Who among us doesn’t know the Winthrop family’s things are good?”
“But there’s no one as eaper to take them as you!”
“Exactly!”
The crowd agreed!
Annelise’s features were stunning. She tapped her fingers slowly on the gift box and said something shocking, “Some times I really wonder if the Kendrick family knows anything about medicine.”
“You little greenhorn!”
Herbert was furious. “You’ve provoked the Kendrick family time and again, and we’ve tolerated it. I won’t let you off today!”
Annelise’s gaze was slow and deliberate. “A man whose arm I crippled… how exactly are you not going to let me
off?”
“You!”
