Chapter 689: Never Heard of Tracy Swift
It has been many years since the Heninger family of Black Island retreated from worldly affairs. Even if Lewis Astir knew them, he would need to have a very good relationship with the Heninger family for them to come from Black Island.
“Are the Heninger family members here at Mr. Astir’s request?”
“Of course! Only Mr. Astir and Miss Swift have the ability to do this. Didn’t Miss Swift say earlier that the Swift family and the Heninger family have a good relationship? Naturally, they came here out of respect for both of them.”
At this moment, Tracy Swift, whose face was full of scholarly elegance, was full of joy and her voice trembled slightly, “The Heninger family is really here?”
“Sister, the Heninger family must have come for you! They have been hiding in Black Island for so many years, and this is the first time they have made such a high-profile appearance. Only you could be so important to them!”
Tobey Swift was extremely excited and then proudly glared at Xaviera Evans, “At this point, are you still not admitting your defeat? Even the number one porcelain family, the Heninger family, has come. How can you still hope to win?”
“I just gave you face earlier by letting you leave as soon as possible. Now that Mr. Astir and the people from the Heninger family have arrived, not only will you lose, but you will also lose horribly and lose face!”
Tracy Swift didn’t stop Tobey’s taunts, but instead stepped forward and asked, “Does anyone know who came from the Heninger family?”
“The Heninger family’s master won’t appear so easily, so they probably just sent a disciple to show their presence!”
“Yes! The direct bloodline of the Heninger family would not appear so easily.”
As the words fell, the car door slowly opened, and a tall, cold-faced young man got out. The surrounding bodyguards bowed their heads in respect, saluting him.
“Mr. Heninger!”
There was silence all around, and everyone couldn’t help but gasp. They never thought that the person who came would be Mr. Heninger himself!
Lewis Astir was also so excited that his palms trembled, and he staggered a few steps forward, “Mr. He…Heninger… Quine Heninger?”
Ordinary people might not know who Quine Heninger is, but the shop owner and Tracy Swift naturally knew, as he was the legendary person who could create hollow jade ring porcelain vases. They had never imagined that Mr. Heninger would come in person.
Even the always calm and composed Tracy Swift couldn’t help but blush and tremble slightly. Quine’s personal appearance was the ultimate show of respect to the Swift family. Now, her win would be truly impressive.
However, who exactly invited Quine Heninger? Was it Mr. Astir? And how did Quine Heninger arrive so quickly?
“Miss Swift is really amazing! She actually invited Mr. Heninger!”
Hearing everyone’s praises, Tracy Swift tried to suppress her excitement and forced herself to calm down. She absolutely couldn’t be impolite in front of Quine Heninger. Then she put on her standard smile, stepped forward, and respectfully said, “Mr. Heninger, thank you…”
Before she could finish speaking, Quine Heninger coldly glanced at her, his whole body exuding a sudden chill, and coldly asked, “Who are you?”
Boom—!!
These three short words were like a thunderbolt striking everyone’s hearts, and it was as if Tracy Swift was slapped in the face, causing her smile to freeze instantly.
The shop was eerily quiet, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air. Everyone looked puzzled. Weren’t the Swift family and the Heninger family good friends? Why didn’t Mr. Heninger recognize Miss Swift? Could it be that Mr. Heninger did not come for Miss Swift?
Tracy Swift, after all, was a well-bred lady, and she quickly calmed herself down. Her face still held a faint smile, and she gracefully said, “Mr. Heninger may not have seen me before. I am Tracy Swift, the daughter of the Swift family. I have visited the Heninger family with my father before, but unfortunately, we did not meet Mr. Heninger.”
Tracy Swift’s words were indeed of a high standard, explaining the friendship between the two families while also highlighting the coincidence of not having met Quine Heninger. She managed to get herself out of the awkward situation without offending him.
Tracy Swift had an inexplicable feeling of unease, perhaps just nervousness from meeting Mr. Heninger for the first time. As long as he could win this bet for her, everything would be fine. What does it matter if he doesn’t recognize her?
“Tracy Swift?” Quine Heninger repeated her name and then said with a calm face, “Never heard of her.”
Never heard of her? That was the daughter of the Swift family! No matter what, the Swift family was one of the four great porcelain families, along with the Heninger family. How could he not know?
At this moment, Tracy Swift’s smile finally faltered, her lips trembling and her face full of grievance.
