Chapter 364 - A Genius Investor



Aeon Harmon got the invitation card in the evening when he reached his condo with Sean. He was already surprised with the invite much less to see the event manager personally dropping a visit and apologize for the later invite.

If he wanted he could attend as a member of the Harmon family and he didn't like it. He didn't want to walk the coattails of Leon. He was thinking if he should attend it or not, Aarvi Evans's email dropped it.

There weren't many lines to force him to attend. 'You should attend the banquet. You deserve it.' It was hard to deduce what she was expecting.

'Is it because of the cooperation between his company and Skylar Industries?' He questioned.

'Or is she planning something against Leon Harmon?' He found another possibility.

'Or is she giving me an exposure?' He thought this because she wanted him to grow strong for managing thousands of employees at Harmon Industries.

However, he couldn't point it out even after thinking too long.

What Aarvi actually thought was, out of three Harmons, Aeon is a much-deserved person to represent the family. He was soon going to be the one to have a hold on the family.

Sean wanted to tag along but Aeon reasoned as reporters would like to know about him and Sara if Sean went there and they would question him why he didn't bring Sara to the banquet so Sean obediently sat in Aeon's condo.

Standing on the red carpet, Aeon had ditched the shirt with a black t-shirt pairing with a charcoal black blazer and trousers. He had chosen casuals over the business dinner suit.

He looked stylish and mod for the banquet. He initially wanted to wear a suit but Sean had called him boring and chose it. He was definitely going to get a few toasts from the socialites with a dream of becoming either an actress or his wife.

Aeon stepped on the red carpet when the banquet was close to begin. The reporters who had thought all the guests entered the hall were surprised by Aeon's appearance.

"President Harmon, are you here to support your brother?"

"President Harmon, do you have a girlfriend?"

"President Harmon, what are your views on your younger brother's engagement?"

"President Harmon, when can we expect your movie 'Untouchable' to release to the public?"

"President Harmon, did you dump Mia Craft because she was taking psychological treatment?"

The reporters never fail to amuse the people but by asking questions about the life of others probably they would be on the brink of forgetting some of it.

Aeon didn't respond to every question, he responded to the questions about his company, movie and went inside giving a reason as he is already late to the banquet.

Not everyone knows Aeon had the different invitation card so Leon Harmon, doting brother stood up and went towards the main door of the banquet to welcome his younger brother.

Eliza was about to follow him but Dylan cued her to have a seat. Dylan didn't follow Leon either when he noticed the crowd started to look at Leon thinking he might be exiting the banquet right after the announcement of asking the guest to have a seat.

Dylan wasn't sure about why Aeon agreed to host the engagement on behalf of Leon but he was very sure Aeon wasn't going to give him face.

Leon too knew Aeon was probably going to ignore him, yet he chose to walk up to the door as major and prominent news media reporters were in the hall.

How could an ideal loving brother miss to put on an act?

Leon flashed a smile when the elevator opened and Aeon stepped out with an attendant escorting him towards the hall.

Aeon too noticed him, he couldn't understand how a person could put on an act even after knowing the opposite person knows all his true colors.

'Is public image so important?' He thought steadily walking towards the hall.

The attendant heard the seat organizer mention Aeon's table number and who he was sharing the table with via the walkie-talkie he was holding.

He turned to Aeon to inform him prior, "President Harmon, Since you are attending alone without an accompanist tonight, your seat is arranged with CEO Grant. Please let me know if you would like to sit with your brother and family, I will make the necessary arrangements quickly."

  Aeon was really glad he wasn't going to sit with Leon at the same table, "It couldn't be any better." He responded.

Even though he wasn't close with Dax to have a chat, at least he will sit and push through the banquet peacefully as he had no plans to participate in an auction. 

"Aeon, I didn't know you were…" Leon's astonished voice had to end there when Aeon passed right beside him without giving him any face.

The attendant who paused aside thinking Aeon and Leon might exchange pleasantry was more shocked than the crowd who witnessed it. 

Many guests started gossiping about the scandal of Leon sexually abusing a young lady and rumors of her being Aeon's girlfriend might be true. If not, why would Aeon completely turn blind eye to his own elder brother?

It didn't take long for the spark to slowly catch the fire. 

'Is Leon Harmon really as good as he shows?' Because they all know the straightforward and strict personality of Aeon and its old news Aeon didn't want to use Harmon Industries' support.

Even though Leon had fabricated it as Aeon loves to be independent and they have an amazing bond, it was always Leon boosting it whereas Aeon never liked to speak about Leon.

This occasion was the first time both attended together and Aeon feigned ignorance. Not to mention, Aeon hosted the engagement and Leon wasn't in the hall.

So Is everything fine between the Harmon Brothers?

Fire the spark - Checked.

Aeon met Dax who was sitting with his assistant and took a seat. There was no animosity and both clinked their wine glass and took a sip waiting for the Banquet to start. 

Leon forced a smile to himself and ignored the mocking gazes while he walked back to his seat grinding his teeth after knowing Aeon was sitting with Dax Grant.

When the things were yet to settle down, a few attendants in uniform rushed to Rivas and Morris's family table. All witnessed the family members nod and stand up from their seats.

The chairs and round tables were removed systematically and in less than a minute luxurious couches were brought in with rectangular tables.

The guests were confused about why the special treatment to the host so suddenly whereas every time they were always treated like same as them.

The emcee who had yet to start the banquet with the welcome speech, announced the arrival of a special guest, "I am very sure the businessmen must have heard about this person if you are active in the stock market."

Only Dax, Leon, and Dylan in the guest section knew Ms. Twyla is coming to the Banquet whereas the rest started looking at each other trying to make a guess. 

The emcee continued in her excited tone and words that she was able to get from organizers, "She is famous in country S as a genius investor and the surprising coincidence is she is from our own country."

Most of the guests understood the reason behind the special welcome and it was her first-time public appearance. So all held their breath with different imaginations of the lady peeling their eyes at the door.

Leon was determined to meet Twyla due to which he was present there.
