Chapter 799 The Big Shot

The servant passed a lantern and a ribbon to Evie. “Mrs. Vargas mentioned that this is also a rule of the Vargas

family,” Despite her confusion, Evie reached out and received it.

“For the future hostess’ first New Year in the Vargas family, she must tie this lantern and ribbon onto the largest

winter plum tree in the morning. The lantern symbolizes a prosperous and promising future, while the ribbon

represents a wish you have made.”

Evie understood after she heard the servant’s explanation. She then placed the lantern on the winter plum tree and

held the ribbon in her hands as she made a wish toward the tree.

She pondered on what wish to make. After contemplating for a moment, the only wish that occupied her mind was

just several words, “may he be fine.” And by “he,” she meant Stephen.

She approached it with utmost sincerity; she delicately tied the ribbon into a lovely butterfly bow, which gracefully

fluttered in the air. At that moment, in the upper bedroom. A figure stood by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Meanwhile, on the massive display screen behind the figure, an international conference was in full swing, with the

presentation and speeches entirely in a foreign language and showing no signs of stopping. Stephen was usually

wholly engrossed when it came to work, but today, his attention wandered.

Looking at Evie standing in the courtyard, he could not help but smile at her meticulousness in hanging the small

lantern and meticulously tying the ribbon. His thoughts wandered as he wondered, “What wish did she make? This

tradition of the Vargas family has proven to be quite effective.”

All of a sudden, the foreign language briefing came to a stop. The executive, a stunning woman with blond hair,

blue eyes, and voluminous wavy curls, patiently awaited Stephen’s reply.

However, after waiting for a minute, then two minutes, she was all met with the president’s unyielding silhouette,

never showing his face. At what moment did Stephen become aware that the report had stopped?

It was when Evie turned around. Stephen instinctively took a few steps back, his demeanor betraying a sense of

unease as if he did not want Evie to catch sight of him. “Ahem.” He cleared his throat, attempting to hide his

awkwardness.

Then, he turned around and directed his gaze toward the big screen, where he noticed the female executive

looking entirely at a loss. He frowned slightly and uttered in a foreign language, “Repeat it, please.” The female

executive stood frozen in disbelief.

The executives in the meeting room were equally dumbfounded. Much to their surprise, the president, who had

always been incredibly attentive, experienced a rare moment of distraction!

Afterward, the female executive went through the report again. Then, Stephen voiced his thoughts, his foreign

language accent sounding authentic and smooth.

The meeting wrapped up after four and a half hours. The conference video call stopped, and Stephen reached for

the phone next to him, glancing at the missed call notification on the screen.

He returned the call, and it was answered. “Happy New Year’s Eve, Mr. Randal.” “Happy New Year’s Eve to you too,

Mr. Vargas.” Stephen asked, “Did you find anything from the investigation you were tasked with?”

Yes, I’ve found something.” Randal explained, “Mr. Nash, earlier this year, went to Valley City. No pressing matters

were awaiting his attention there. Instead, he went to the residence of John Meeks, the CEO of the Nash Group, to

meet his ailing sister, and he remained there for quite some time before eventually leaving.” John’s sister?”

Stephen was no stranger to John’s achievements. He had heard of him as the successful entrepreneur in Valley City

who had managed to reach the position of CEO at the Nash Group within three years.

Yes,” Randal responded, “John’s/ younger sister, Ruby Meeks, just turned eighteen after the start of the year. She

has been struggling with her health, and John has been extremely devoted to her well-being. He has spared no

expense, and one could say he’s using money to buy her more time.” Stephen was lost in his thoughts after hearing

Randal.

Regarding business, the Vargas Group and the Nash Group had little to do with each other, maintaining a separate

path following a “you go your way, and I’ll go mine” approach. Stephen had not anticipated that there would be any

connection between Lincoln and the Nash Group.

“Lincoln and the Nash Group…” It could not be… A hunch formed in Stephen’s heart as he contemplated! “Mr.

Randal, have you identified the big shot behind the Nash Group?”
