Chapter 1447 - You Can Squeeze Ugly Duckling For While
Chapter 1447: You Can Squeeze Ugly Duckling For While
“No. You’re going to bring both your helmet and your brain along with you.” Mag went over and turned on the defogging mode for her.
Connie, who could immediately see clearly, saw that tree in front of her. Her expression became awkward instantly, and she smiled embarrassedly. “Aright, I will bring the helmet and my brain to the banquet with me.”
Mag still felt weird looking at all the ladies in their down jackets. However, it wasn’t realistic for them to go change into extravagant evening wear at this point in time anymore.
“I am back!” Amy’s voice appeared behind them.
Everyone turned around to look at Amy, who was wearing her magician robe and skipping over. Her two buns were swaying gently, and she looked absolutely adorable.
“Woah. Is everyone wearing new clothes?” Amy looked at all of them with bright eyes before turning around to ask Mag, “Father, do I have new clothes too? I want to wear the same clothes as everyone.”
“Alright. Then we will go in and change now.” Mag looked at the expectant Amy, and nodded with a smile. He had prepared a lovely cocktail dress for Amy initially, but the cocktail dress was obviously not as attractive to her as the down jacket now. Anyway, everyone was already wearing down jackets, so he might as well let Amy wear a down jacket to the banquet too.
Furthermore, this was Blue Suede’s new product, so he guessed it was still considered trendy in this world, right?
After a while, Amy, who had changed into a short purplish-blue down jacket, skipped out of the door and joined the down jacket group. The light and puffy cutting with a pair of little rabbit ear muffs made her look super adorable.
“Let’s go. It’s time for us to set off now.” Mag lifted up his wrist to look at his watch. It was almost five o’clock, and the three horse-drawn carriages that were prebooked were already waiting at the door. All of them got into their carriages respectively.
“Father, where’s Big Sister Irina? Isn’t she going to the celebration?” Amy asked after Mag and she got into the same carriage.
“She’s probably very busy. After all, she still has to be responsible for so many Night Elves.” Mag shook his head with a smile.
“Alright.” Amy was a tad disappointed.
Apart from Irina, Shirley didn’t go too.
On that day in the Wind Forest, he saw Blour’s father, Vincent Baibilly, chop an arm of Elliot before he died by the combined attack of the elves.
However, Mag didn’t see Blour on the battlefield that day, so he couldn’t bring him back.
Anna’s expression was rather grave too. She propped her chin up with her hand as she looked out of the window through a small gap in the curtain, deep in thought.
“Don’t worry, Anna. Shirley will return as usual. She will remember her promise with you.” Mag placed his hand on Anna’s head gently as he softly consoled her. This little one had a sensitive heart that didn’t match her age.
“Mm-hmm,” Anna replied softly. However, her expression didn’t become more cheerful because of Mag’s consolation.
“Big Sister Anna, you can squeeze Ugly Duckling for a while. Whenever you are unhappy, you can squeeze its mushy face, and you will feel much better.” Amy tossed Ugly Duckling into Anna’s arms and smiled.
“Meow???”
Ugly Duckling looked puzzled. Why did they squeeze it because they were unhappy?
Anna held Ugly Duckling’s soft, warm, and fat face in her hands. She squeezed with both her hands at the same time, and its round face slowly became flat. The face changed into another shape after she squeezed.
“So cute!” A smile appeared on Anna’s face. It was as if she was holding a hot water bottle, and it felt so soft and comfortable.
Ugly Duckling glared with its innocent big blue eyes, but because it was suppressed by Amy’s tyranny, it could only let Anna toy with it.
Mag looked at Anna, who was slowly getting more cheerful because she was playing with the cat, and smiled too. Indeed, only a child knew what a child liked.

The square in front of the Chamber of Commerce was fully parked with all kinds of opulent horse-drawn carriages. Almost all the members of the Chamber of Commerce had gathered for today’s year-end celebration, so all the business leaders in Chaos City were present.
Cyril—wearing luxurious black and red robes and a green hat with a giant red ruby on top—was standing at the hall’s entrance and greeting the businessmen.
However, only the Chamber of Commerce’s board members could make Cyril greet them proactively.
As for the normal businessmen, they were all trying to get to know him with an ingratiating smile. However, most of them were ignored by Cyril.
Cyril couldn’t stop smiling. As long as he got Gloria fired from the board today, he would be the only heir of the Moreton Family.
Furthermore, Bolton had agreed that when he became the head of the Moreton Family, he would partner with Harvey to make Cyril the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
The three families were working together, so Cyril was fully confident that he could depose Gloria.
As for the Buffett Family, he didn’t believe that Gloria could convince Scheer to support her.
After he became the head of the family, he would find a reason to get Blue Suede back. He heard Gloria had expanded her factories again. It had only been two, three months, and the monthly profit was already over 1,000,000 just with the sales of the clothes alone. Everyone could see the potential of this shop.
Although that was still inconsequential when compared to the Moreton Family’s wealth, he simply didn’t want them to have a good life after they left the Moreton Family. The slum at the north of the city was the best place for their family to live.
“Board Member Downsell.” Cyril smilingly reached out to shake the hand of a balding middle-aged man. They chatted politely for a while before exchanging a knowing smile.
After Cyril was done chatting with Downsell, he saw Mag walk past him with a bevy of beautiful ladies.
What is this fellow doing here again? Cyril frowned. It was this fellow who made him lose face during the previous year-end celebration. Moreover, he was getting along very well with Gloria. He didn’t expect him to come again today. He remembered that he didn’t join the Chamber of Commerce, and had even said that he wanted to overthrow the Chamber of Commerce.
“Wow! Those ladies are so beautiful! Their clothes are so special too. They look so cool.”
“If I am not wrong, the clothes that they are wearing should be the new designs that Blue Suede Fashion hasn’t officially released? I think they’re called down jackets!”
“My heavens! They actually got the presale design! Aren’t those not for sale yet?! Could they be the staff members of Blue Suede?”
“The jackets look fantastic on them! They seem super light yet very warm!”
All the women’s attention was attracted by the down jackets on Yabemiya and the ladies. Many of them were loyal supporters of Blue Suede Fashion, and had been eyeing the new winter wear that was going to be released three days later. They hadn’t expected someone would wear it to the banquet today, and it was a bevy of beautiful young maidens.
