Just as Lily had finally coaxed Ruby back into her room, she turned to see Dorian entering with Irene, Noah, and Austin.
All three—two young men and a young woman—were strikingly attractive.
In the center stood a young woman, Irene, dressed in a sapphire-blue gown with regal, vintage flair. Her jet-black hair was swept into a low chignon, secured with a simple walnut-colored hairpin.
With just minimal makeup and styling, she was nothing short of breathtaking.
Lily thought, 'No wonder Dorian's so smitten—this Irene really does have that seductive charm.'
Lily hurried over with a beaming smile. "You must be Irene, right? Welcome! I'm Dorian's sister—just call me Lily."
With graceful confidence, Irene greeted her, saying, "Nice to meet you, Lily."
Dorian brought Irene before Mike. "Dad, let me introduce you—this is my girlfriend, Irene.""Irene, this is my father. You can call him Mr. Barnes."
Mike stayed seated, watching Irene with an unwavering, silent gaze.
After decades navigating the cutthroat business world, Mike had developed an intimidating presence that commanded respect without even raising his voice.
Any ordinary girl would have been trembling in her boots by then.
Irene stood her ground without a trace of timidity, her demeanor poised and confident. "Good evening, Mr. Barnes. I'm Irene, granddaughter of Liam, founder of the Staroud Supermarket Chain."
Decades ago, Sebastian Thompson provided the capital to help Liam establish Eldraeth City's first supermarket chain.
In that golden age of opportunities during the economic boom, Liam quickly achieved remarkable business success.
But the prosperity was short-lived. With Sebastian's passing, Liam's business entered a downward spiral.
The once-promising Staroud Supermarket—destined to be a premium national chain—was reduced to a mere mid-to-low-end grocery operation in Eldraeth City.
Next to the mighty Barnes family empire, the Jackson family's fortune was barely worth mentioning.
Hearing Irene introduce herself, Lily remained silent but subtly lifted her chin, striking an unmistakably haughty pose.
Instead, Mike sighed with a touch of nostalgia. "Back in my younger days, I had the honor of meeting Sebastian a few times. He was a venerable elder of great wisdom.
"Alas, he passed away too soon, missing the prosperity of the turn of the millennium. As for your grandfather, Liam..."
In Eldraeth City's highly competitive environment, Liam wasn't even a notable figure.
In fact, Mike couldn't recall his name for a moment.
"Gwen, though, does have a bit of Sebastian's noble bearing," he offered politely.
Irene nodded and said, "Like father, like daughter. Since Gwen is Sebastian's daughter, it's only natural she inherited his noble bearing."
She added, "Everyone praises Dorian as a promising young man, but that's all thanks to your excellent guidance, Mr. Barnes."
Mike burst out laughing, clearly delighted. "You've got a silver tongue, young lady!"
Lily pursed her lips in disdain. 'What a smooth talker!'
With just one compliment, she managed to butter up both Dorian and Mike at the same time.
Honestly, being that good at brown-nosing was almost impressive!
Mike lit his cigar and looked at Noah and Austin. "So these two must be Noah and Austin? Which one of you young men is Austin?"
Austin stepped forward to stand beside Irene. "I'm Austin, son of Elias of the Jackson Family, paying my respects to you, Mr. Barnes."
Mike studied Austin, his eyes flickering with a hint of surprise.
In Eldraeth City today, who among the younger generation could rival Austin?
Austin's teacher was none other than the dean of School of Medicine at Aurelith University—a man renowned for mentoring generations of outstanding physicians.
The dean held Austin in particularly high regard, and all of his network and resources would one day become Austin's as well.
Recently, a saying had been circulating in Eldraeth City's business circles—"He who wins Austin wins the pharmaceutical kingdom."
Any company that could poach Austin would dominate the drug industry.
