Everyone already assumed that Zoren Pierson was here for Atlas. However, many people were still in denial, telling themselves that Zoren came here as a guest as well. So, hearing those boastful remarks from Benjamin caused another wave of silence.
"So, it's true?" one person in the crowd murmured in disbelief. "Mr. Zoren Pierson is here because of CEO Bennet."
"Didn't you say an occasion like the Giving Gala is too small for the Piersons to step foot in? Yet, the head of the Pierson family is here himself—not as a guest, but as a plus one."
"Does that mean even the Giving Gala couldn't bring Zoren Pierson here, but Atlas could?"
"Oh, my god. Honey, did you call Mr. Bennet for an appointment?"
"Fortunately, I was given a chance to meet him in five months." The couple looked at each other, certain that in five months, their ranking on the social ladder would shoot up.
