Chapter 70
Yvette couldn’t help but feel touched. “Thank you, Kiki.”
“Don’t mention it. Last time, you helped me out with that blind date, This time, you can help me get through this.” Kiki disliked these banquets the most.
Before she went abroad, her father would take her to all sorts of banquets. The goal was to meet potential suitors who were more wealthy and powerful than her family. Kiki was so sick of it.
“Okay.”
Kiki cheered her on. “This time, you have to win over that block of ice and get his semen!”
“Yeah!” Yvette had almost succeeded last time, but unfortunately… Tomorrow, she would have to plan carefully. Yvette suddenly thought of something and asked Kiki, “Do you think Daphne will also be there?“.
“Of course! She wouldn’t miss the chance to ingratiate herself with the Lane family and get into Lane Mansion!” Kiki responded without a second thought.
Yvette smiled, “This time, Daphne’s in for a treat.”
The next day, Zachary woke up early. Malcolm’s great–grandfather was named Clifford Lane, and his birthday banquet was at 10:00a.m.
Zachary got up early because he didn’t want Yvette to find out he had been invited by Malcolm.
Yvette had prepared a gift box for him to give to his friend. She had no idea that his friend was Malcolm, the eldest grandson of the Lane family.
Zachary didn’t dare to tell her either, because she would never allow him to go to Lane Mansion if she knew. So, he used another classmate’s name.
Zachary and Malcolm had agreed to meet at the kindergarten gate. Soon, a Lincoln pulled up in front of Zachary, making him appear smaller than he already was.
The car door opened, and Malcolm was beaming with pride. “I bet your family doesn’t have a car like this, huh?”
Zachary simply paid him some lip service. “Yeah, the most expensive car in my family is only worth a few thousand.‘
Malcolm dragged Zachary over to sit next to him and said, “From now on, stick with me. I’ll give you one when you grow up.”
However, Zachary responded, “Let’s talk when you can make your own decisions.”
Malcolm’s face immediately fell. “What do you mean by that? You’ll see how important I am when you get to my house later!”
To be honest, Zachary had already noticed how important Malcolm was to the Lane family during
their time together in kindergarten.

Every day, he was picked up and dropped off in a different luxury was always accompanied by at least ten bodyguards. Even a few of the Lanes would come to pick him up when they had the time.
On the way, Zachary listened to Malcolm brag about how wealthy he was. He talked about things like private jets, amusement parks, and so on. Zachary wasn’t envious at all. He was aware that he would have whatever he wanted when he grew up.
Finally, they arrived at Lane Mansion. The guests hadn’t arrived yet.
Lane Mansion was huge, covering an area of over 200 thousand square feet, which was about three World Cup football fields. It was so large that one couldn’t see the end at a glance, and it would take a day to walk around it.
Parts of the building were designed in an ancient palace style, and it was said that one of the main beams was made of expensive wood that was worth several Rolls–Royces.
Zachary got out of the car with Malcolm. Soon, a housekeeper came to greet them.
As he gazed upon the opulent Lane Mansion, Zachary couldn’t help but feel a grudging admiration for his lousy excuse for a father.
From what he had found out, the Lane family was prestigious, but it didn’t always wield such immense power. It was Xavier who expanded the Lane Group, creating the vast business empire they now controled.
“Isn’t my house big and beautiful? I’m telling you, this place will all be mine someday!”
