Chapter 5535

Sonny was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Chairman Francoeur to ask him to accompany Winnie to the banquet.

If two people attended a banquet together, it would inevitably give others something to gossip about.

Before he could refuse, Winnie said, “Grandpa, I can go by myself. There’s no need to trouble President Brown. I’ll bring my bodyguards and secretary with me. They’ll protect me. Besides, I usually don’t drink much at banquets.

“Everyone in Donimingon knows that, and not many people dare to pressure me into drinking.”

Although she was a woman, Winnie had grown up by her grandfather’s side and started learning about business in her teens. She had been in the business world for more than ten years, building an impressive reputation along the way. With the Francoeur Group backing her, her status and position were unquestionable, and no one dared to look down on her.

In fact, many people were afraid to mess with her because they knew she wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

The people who plotted against her were mostly her own relatives. Because of their family ties, they dared to scheme against her, hoping to force her into an affair with a certain man and eventually marry him so they could control her.
