Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 658
Josh sat upright immediately.
“Come in.”
The door was pushed open, and a bodyguard came in with an invitation.
Josh thought that it was an invitation for Julian to a banquet. Unexpectedly, the bodyguard walked straight to him and handed
him the invitation. “Mr. Bucham, this is an invitation sent by Mr. Stone. The Stones will be holding a banquet tomorrow night and
have invited you to join”
“Me?”
Josh took the invitation skeptically and questioned, “The Stones are holding a banquet, and Clive had someone specially send it
over? Also, the banquet is tomorrow night? Why so sudden?”
Other families might make their banquet known a few days in advance. Some even gave guests ten days of notice so they could
get ready.
Was this a last–minute decision by the Stone family?
Josh remembered how Audrey recognized her two nieces and he guessed the real purpose of the banquet.
‘She must wish to introduce her two nieces to Wiltspoon’s elites.
“Hehe, what does Zachary think about it?”
“Mr. Stone also had a message for you.”
“What message?”
“Ms. Sox is among the invitees.”
Josh’s eyes glimmered.
He grinned and asked the bodyguard, “Has the messenger from the Stone family left?”

“No, he’s still outside awaiting your reply.”
Josh did not even open the invitation to read it and simply said to the bodyguard, “Tell him I’ll be there on time tomorrow night.”
“Yes, sir.”
The bodyguard respectfully took his leave.
Josh placed the invitation on the desk. “I guess I won’t be able to mess with Clive anymore the next time I see him.”
“Ms. Sox has no relationship with Clive. Those words should be said by Zachary instead.”
Julian set his work in order, put down the phone, leaned back, and said with a vague smile, “Now, do you understand the reason
I don’t want to get married?”
“That’s just because you haven’t found the right person. Look, Zachary was so stubborn before too, but he had completely
surrendered now. He flips out if Serenity ignores him, and he quarrels with her for days. before she can even explain herself.
“Elisa and Jasmine also have a good relationship, so it’s natural that the Stone family invited Jasmine to the banquet. They
extended the invitation to me out of consideration for Jasmine. Since they’ve given me
this opportunity, I can’t just let it go to waste, right?”
The York and Stone families did not see eye to eye. In the past, Josh helped Zachary set many pitfalls for Stone Group and
schemed against Clive to steal their business.
In Stone Group, just the mention of Zachary’s and Josh’s names was enough to make the employees gnash their teeth.
If Josh did not have a sturdy backing by the name of Zachary York, he would have been stuffed into a burlap sack long ago.
“What goes around, comes around.”
Julian spoke and stood up. “I’m going out.”
“Where are you going this time?”
“You won’t like following me anyway.”

Julian rarely spent time at home.
However, no one knew what he was up to outside.
Not forgetting the invitation, Josh got up and followed Julian.
“I’m going to buy some stuff for Drake to bring back to his sister in the evening.”
Josh felt that he had to start with his future brother–in–law. Not only did he have to build a good relationship with Drake, but he
also could not neglect Jasmine. Having Drake bring gifts to his sister frequently was equivalent to Josh improving the Sox
family’s opinion of him.
