The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 386

Hearing what Nikki said, Cheyenne raised her brows in puzzlement. "What does that antique exhibition have to do with the Brilliance Corporation?"
Nikki said with a smile, "Cheyenne, you're now the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation. You should also want the company to develop well and expand the scope of the company's business to LA, right?"
Cheyenne nodded. "That goes without saying. But what does this have to do with the antique exhibition?"
Nikki said proudly, "Of course it has something to do with the exhibition. In fact, it has a lot to do with it! The organizer of the antique exhibition in the LA Arts Center today is Edmund Cole, the head of the Coles, an extremely wealthy family from San Francisco. All the upper-middle-class families and enterprise owners in LA will definitely attend the exhibition this time to get closer to Edmund Cole and also to build some connections with other reputable figures!
"So Cheyenne, this is an excellent chance for you. It doesn't matter if you're not interested in the antique exhibition. Most importantly, you'll get the opportunity to socialize with the members of other prestigious families and business owners in LA! As long as you communicate well with them, your company will definitely be able to expand well in LA!"
Nikki was indeed quite convincing, and her words hit the nail on the head.
Previously, Cheyenne hadn't thought of expanding the Brilliance Corporation's business to LA so quickly. But now that the golden opportunity was right in front of her, she naturally couldn't miss it since she was the general manager of the Brilliance Corporation.
The fact that the organizer of the antique exhibition this time was the famous and esteemed Edmund Cole from San Francisco was especially significant.
"Nikki, are you sure that the antique exhibition is organized by the Coles?" Cheyenne asked expectantly.

Nikki took out two invitation cards and waved them in front of Cheyenne smilingly. "Cheyenne, take a good look. It's written clearly in black and white on these invitation cards that the organizer is Cole Antiques, one of the Coles' businesses. I'm not deceiving you!"
Given the name of the company, it was obvious that it belonged to the Coles.
After confirming it, Cheyenne agreed without hesitating further, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Seeing this, Charlotte said worriedly, "Cheyenne, do you really want to go? Lucas clearly asked me to stay by your side and protect you."
She didn't want Cheyenne to go out with Nikki.
To put it bluntly, Charlotte just didn't trust Nikki! She wasn't convinced that Nikki would be that nice to take Cheyenne out to expand her network of connections for the development of the Brilliance Corporation in LA.
Who knew what she was thinking? In any case, Charlotte felt that Nikki harbored ill intentions!
Nikki covered her mouth and laughed. "Protect? Cheyenne, you're making it sound as if I'm taking her to some dangerous place! Don't worry. We're just going to the arts center downtown so that Cheyenne can get to know more business partners in LA. How dangerous can it be? I promise I'll bring Cheyenne back safe and sound. Rest assured!"
Cheyenne patted Charlotte's hand and comforted, "Charlotte, don't worry. The exhibition is indeed a good opportunity for the Brilliance Corporation. Once I build some connections and get some opportunities, I'll be able to take the Brilliance Corporation to greater heights! I hope for the Brilliance Corporation to expand well."
Seeing how insistent Cheyenne was and knowing that Cheyenne would never give up any opportunities when the Brilliance Corporation was concerned, Charlotte decided not to stop her any further. She said helplessly, "Okay then. Go ahead, but be careful! I'll just stay here and keep Amelia company!"

"Okay. Thank you, Charlotte!" Cheyenne smiled.
After receiving Cheyenne's affirmative reply, Nikki took her hand eagerly and said with great excitement, "Let's go quickly then. The exhibition is going to start soon. We mustn't be late!"
While they were on their way, Nikki secretly texted someone: [Be right there!]
As soon as Cheyenne left the Turners' with Nikki, Charlotte immediately called Lucas. "Lucas, Nikki just convinced Cheyenne to go out with her to an antique exhibition at the LA Arts Center!"
Lucas knew that something was amiss and immediately said, "Alright, I'll go look for her now. Don't worry!"
He immediately hung up the phone and went straight to the hotel's underground parking lot.
Soon, Nikki and Cheyenne arrived at the entrance of the LA Arts Center.
As soon as they reached the entrance, they heard a familiar voice coming from the side. "Hello, beautiful ladies, you're here!"
The two turned around and saw the well-dressed Kenneth walking toward them.
Without the slightest trace of surprise on her face, Nikki pulled Cheyenne over to greet him. She said smilingly, "Hehe, Kenneth, you must have been waiting for a long time!"
Cheyenne's face turned sullen when she saw Kenneth and shook Nikki's hand off of hers. She said hostilely, "What's the meaning of this? Nikki, didn't you say that it was only going to be us two?"
This morning, Nikki had already made it clear that she wanted to set Cheyenne up with Kenneth. And now, it seemed that Kenneth had already agreed to meet Nikki, who had gone out of her way to convince Cheyenne to come here. Cheyenne immediately knew that she had been tricked by Nikki.
Nikki was afraid that Cheyenne would immediately leave and make her efforts go down the drain.
She hurriedly pulled Cheyenne and said innocently, "Ah, Cheyenne, I really didn't know that Kenneth would be here too! Don't misunderstand!
"Besides, it's a good thing that Kenneth is here! He's one of the Parkers, a top family in LA. Everyone respects him! As long as he puts in a good word for you later and introduces you to some of his family's business partners, it will be much more convenient than trying to build connections on your own. Don't you agree, Cheyenne?"
Cheyenne felt really uncomfortable when she saw Kenneth and had never thought of seeking his help to get to know the prestigious figures of LA.
But it was a rare opportunity today, and she would be too reckless to just leave because of Kenneth's presence.
She decided that she would just treat him like he was nonexistent.
Thinking of this, Cheyenne suppressed her anger instead of leaving right away.
But she naturally wouldn't have a good attitude toward Kenneth.
"Cheyenne, you seem to dislike me. Have I offended you in some way?" Kenneth suddenly asked with a look of bewilderment, seeming gentlemanly and innocent.
Cheyenne frowned and chided in displeasure, "We don't know each other that well, Mr. Parker. Please call me Ms. Carter instead. Not just anyone can call me by my first name!"
