Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Attending The Banquet Rosie tried hard to contain her rage, maintaining a seemingly friendly tone. "Isn't thirty million enough? What kind of price are you looking for? It's merely a design blueprint. Do you honestly need to ask for an unreasonable price?" she said.

In the past few days, she had been reaching out to the contacts Kennedi had given her to ask for design quotes. While many studios and freelance designers quoted around ten million, none could promise a top-tier design capable of clinching a victory in the Harper Group's design contest.

The Night Stuwas the sole firm confident enough to promise a win, yet their staff's aloof behavior, as if uninterested in whether she hired them, only served to upset her.

Thiago responded with unruffled ease, "Are you aware of the potential value our design could bring? Our work could secure you at least third place at the Harper Group's design competition, paving the way for a partnership with them. Have you considered the annual profits from such a collaboration? Besides, we rarely sell our designs. Thirty million will only buy you a mediocre design. If that satisfies you, we can proceed at that price." Rosie found Thiago's logic unacceptable, and her irritation deepened as she tried to determine their asking price. "What is your price then?" she asked.

Thiago calmly answered, "For exclusive rights to a top-tier design, one hundred million." "Have you lost your mind?" Rosie blurted out, unable to contain her shock. "A hundred million for that?" She ended the call in frustration. Even if she gathered all her money, she still wouldn't have one hundred million. Despite receiving dividends from the Harper Group and generous allowances from her family, she spent a lot daily and never had the habit of saving money, leaving her with little in savings.

Irritated, Rosie returned to Kennedi's list, resolved to find a premium design at a more reasonable price. Before she knew it, August 1st arrived.

Rosie had chosen the prestigious Peace Hotel's third floor for the welcbanquet. The place was renowned as Shirie's finest venue.

At the venue, a talented young bartender performed a captivating display of bottle-flipping and mixing, skillfully crafting cocktails that he lined up on a long table.

This table was luxuriously set with an assortment of delicate pastries, freshly sliced fruits, and a cooler filled with assorted soft drinks and ice creams.

Just before seven o'clock, the elite of Shirie began to arrive, including dashing young heirs and fashionable 0.0% socialites.

Their fashion was distinctly high-end, with each of them donning designer ensembles.

The attendees, drinks in hand, seamlessly mingled, engaging in lively conversations with those they found interesting.

Alec, Ruby, Isabella, and Mack Barrett were among the early arrivals, each dressed flawlessly and styled to perfection. Ruby and Isabella, wearing incredibly expensive gowns, radiated elegance and charm as they moved throug! e crowd with grace.

When Isabella had returned to the Barrett family, the Barrett family had also organized a welcbanquet for her, but it had been attended only by middle- class families from Shirie. It was nothing compared to the Harper family's banquet.

Upon entering, they immediately recognized several faces. Alec, in particular, was thrilled to spot a middle-aged man in a casual jacket ке with a young man at his side. "Ruby, did you notice? The Mitchell family is here as well! Emmett, the commander of the military district, never attends banquets, yet he's here today. It's really lucky that we chere- our family is going to be saved."

Mack nodded eagerly, already thinking about how to approach the Mitchell family. He pointed to then young man and said, "Yes, Dad is absolutely right. Ethan, the head of the Mitchell Group, is here, too. If we manage to speak with them, our family will rise in status in no time!" Isabella's attention was captured by Ethan, who wore a sleek black suit and shirt without a tie. His appearance was striking.

Ruby gestured towards a woman in a purple gown. "That's the Wagner family, one of the top families im Shirie. I ran into Mrs. Wagner while shopping before, and we chatted briefly. See, the young man next to Mrs. Wagner is her son. He's not yet thirty, and I've heard he doesn't have a girlfriend." Isabella glanced at Mrs. Wagner's son. He was of average looks and not very tall, holding a glass of red wine with a grin that seemed a bit too smug.

Her interest waned; Ethan's charm and status were far more appealing to her.

Isabella turned to Ruby and said, "Mom, do we know the people there? Should we go over and introduce ourselves?" She was eager to get acquainted with Ethan.
