George Stanford was a surprisingly spontaneous man. For impoverished people unable to pay high surgery fees, he offered unconditional medical treatment. As for nobles and tycoons, he never fawned on them, curried favor, or treated them. No matter how much pressure was applied, he would rather die than yield.
William Guillen's mother had been married by a rich second-generation man that year, which was why George Stanford still kept his distance from tycoons and dignitaries to this day. This was also why, even before Charlie River made an appearance, William Guillen had already concluded he would be refused.
Rather than hitting a wall right at the start, it was better to devise a well-thought-out plan.
For tonight's banquet, William Guillen had sent an invitation to George Stanford in his mother's name. The banquet had started, but he still hadn't arrived.
