"Benjamin, my dad is here. I'll go over first!"
Seeing a long luxury car approaching, Elizabeth immediately recognized it as her father, Nathan Harrison's car. She told Benjamin before she hurried over.
Benjamin wanted to go there, but a figure appeared in front of him. It was Jacob Foster.
Jacob couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the person in front of him, and then he said with a cold face, "Why are you here?"
Benjamin frowned and asked, "If you are here, why can't I?"
Jacob sneered, "Of course I am here to attend the banquet, but you are dressed like you are on air! What, you also want to attend the banquet? Hah, not everyone can attend this banquet! Or are you here to be pretentious?”
Jacob didn't believe that Benjamin could attend such a banquet.
"As I said, if you can come, why can’t I?" Benjamin replied angrily, "Take care of your own matters!"
"Hmph!" Jacob snorted coldly, "Okay, let's go in together and see if you can get in!"
After saying these words, he went straight to the hotel door.
Benjamin couldn't laugh or cry. Jacob Foster was already in his fifties, how could he still act like a child?
But since Jacob wanted to see him embarrassed, he naturally couldn't let him be proud.
Jacob walked to the door of the hotel and took out the invitation letter.
The waiter at the door immediately let him pass, before focusing on Benjamin.
"Sir, may I take a look at your invitation letter?" The waiter asked.
"Uh..." Benjamin was a little embarrassed, "Is there still an invitation letter? I don't know, as I came with someone else!"
The waiter's expression was grim, "Sir, you can't go in without an invitation!"
Jacob on the side sneered, "Security, what are you doing standing still? This person's identity is unknown. If he wants to sneak into the banquet, he may be disadvantageous to the guests inside!"
As soon as these words were said, the bodyguards who were watching around him immediately came over and surrounded Benjamin.
Jacob showed a proud smile, "Boy, I told you, not everyone can attend this banquet. A low-level person like you just stays outside!"
"Sir, please leave!" One of the bodyguards said coldly, "There is a banquet here today, and you can't go in without an invitation. Please don't make this difficult for me., otherwise I won't be polite!"
"What's wrong? What happened?"
At this time, a man and a woman came over. It was Nathan Harrison and Elizabeth.
Benjamin immediately said, "Mr. Nathan, these bodyguards said that I didn't have an invitation letter and wouldn't let me in!"
"Absurd!" Nathan Harrison said coldly, "He is my friend, and you watchdogs dare to stop him? Why don't you get out of my way quickly?"
Several bodyguards couldn't help but be surprised. They didn't expect that the young man in his early twenties was actually Nathan Harrison's friend!
At the same time, Jacob was even more shocked. How could this be possible? The Harrison family was the top big family in the Eastern Sea City with great influence. While Nathan Harrison was one of the tycoons, Benjamin was just a little doctor at the Eastern Sea Hospital. How could he be Nathan Harrison’s friend?
The bodyguard was still in embarrassment and seemed to have no intention of getting out of the way.
Nathan Harrison couldn't help but frown, and was about to get angry.
At this time, Elizabeth immediately took out three invitation letters and handed them over, "Here, these are the invitation letters for the three of us. Can you let us go now?"
When the head of the bodyguards saw this, he immediately stepped aside with a smile on his face, "Yes, yes, of course, Mr Harrison. We’re not trying to embarrass you, but this is what Mr. Quinlan ordered. No one can be let in without an invitation letter, and we just did what we’re told! If I offend you in any way, please forgive me!"
Nathan Harrison snorted coldly. With so many people around, he didn't bother to argue with a bodyguard. If word spread, it would lose its identity.
As the three of them walked into the hotel, Benjamin did not forget to turn around and look at Jacob Foster, "Vice President Foster, as I said, I can go in wherever you can, put away your condescending look. For your information, you are nothing to me!"
"You..." Jacob's face was livid with anger, but because Nathan Harrison was beside Benjamin, he did not dare to say anything more and just glared at him fiercely.
They then entered the largest conference hall of the Eastern Sea Grand Hotel. In the middle of the conference room was a musical fountain, and above it was a huge and valuable crystal chandelier. Under the illumination of the crystal chandelier, the whole room looked golden and resplendent., making people feel a high-end atmosphere.
There were many people attending this banquet, and all of them were major families in the Eastern Sea City, as well as wealthy businessmen and dignitaries. At this time, everyone was gathering in small groups, chatting and laughing.
Benjamin and Elizabeth were standing in the corner. Seeing the various delicacies on the table and no one came to eat, Benjamin couldn't help but shake his head. What a waste of good food!
Elizabeth stood next to Benjamin and introduced to Benjamin the noble people around her.
At the same time, Benjamin became curious in his heart, who was this Quinlan family’s young master? The banquet held brought together almost all the famous people in the entire Eastern Sea City.
Benjamin was not interested in holding nobles. His eyes kept glancing at the women in the hall. The women were all wearing evening dresses of various colors, and Benjamin was feasting his eyes on them.
At this time, a woman walked into the hall. She was wearing a white evening dress. Under the glistening light, she looked like a fairy.
Her fair skin, bright eyes, delicate facial features, and hot figure instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
"Who is this beauty? She is so beautiful!"
"Hiss, this beauty really… should only exist in heaven!"
"When did such beauty appear in the Eastern Sea City? It's so eye-catching!"
All the men whispered as they looked at the beautiful women with undisguised eyes, which made the female companions beside them dissatisfied. What's worse, a lady pinched the soft flesh of the man beside her directly.
The man couldn't bear the pain and quickly looked away, but he still kept looking at the beauty with his side eye.
Benjamin's eyes were also on this beautiful woman, and his brows furrowed. He knew this beautiful woman, as she was his immediate boss, Sophia Scott, the director of surgery at Eastern Sea Hospital.
Benjamin was a little surprised. Why did Sophia Scott appear in this place?
"Benjamin, you've gone too far!" Elizabeth suddenly said angrily.
Benjamin immediately withdrew his gaze and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Elizabeth pouted her pink lips and said a little aggrievedly, "Don't forget that you are my partner today! Why are you always looking at other women like this?"
