Chapter 357 The new leader of the Horton family
Dorothy didn't know why her father mentioned her and nodded subconsciously.
“She is the new head of the Horton family—Miss Ji.” David looked at the two people’s receding backs with mysterious eyes, then turned his head to look at her, reminding his precious daughter.
"Don't you think she doesn't look like her at all? If you are really deceived by her appearance, then you are really wrong..."
There was a look of shock on Dorothy's face. She looked at Ji Cheng's leaving back with a look of disbelief.
The thought of her previous tricks seemed so ridiculous, because the other party was not even on the same level as her.
Her little tricks were totally ignored by the other party, and at the same time, she was also glad that she did not allow her little follower to provoke her, and she barely escaped the disaster.
"How do you feel about coming back this time? Are there any interesting things outside?" David asked.
Dorothy was stunned for a long time. When she heard David's question, she looked at him sideways with an apologetic tone in her voice.
"Dad, I think I did something wrong."
David was a little worried when he heard that. He looked her over and found no signs of injury. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's wrong?"
Dorothy looked up at him and whispered, "I just met this Miss Ji. Because she is very close to Oliver, I didn't treat her very well...
Sorry Dad, am I in trouble? "
David knew what his daughter felt about Oliver, but he didn't expect that this would happen between them. The expression on his face was a little unpredictable.
With light-colored eyes, he looked at the two people's backs as they left, and comforted her softly, "It's okay. Apologize to Miss Ji next time you have a chance."
David could only comfort his daughter in this way, but when Miss Ji saw Dorothy's appearance, there was no disgust in her eyes, which meant that she might not have taken the matter to heart at all.
But it is not ruled out that the other person is an introverted person who just doesn't want to show his expression in front of others. In that case, it would be a bit troublesome.
If there is a chance next time they meet, he will have a good chat with Miss Ji.
Dorothy nodded silently, and the two of them left the Sky Garden Restaurant immediately.
On the way back, she discussed this matter with her good sister Sariel, but she was obviously stunned when she heard Ji Cheng's name.
"Are you talking about Ji Cheng? You're not talking about the same person as me, are you?"
When Dorothy heard what Sariel said, the depressed expression on her face suddenly brightened up and she showed interest.
"Do you know her too? An oriental woman with black hair and black eyes."
When Sariel heard the appearance described by Dorothy, he matched it with the image of Ji Cheng in his mind, and he forced a smile on his face to comfort her.
"Remember what I told you before, my scum cousin was severely beaten up by someone, and it was this Miss Ji who did it."
"Ji Cheng has a good temper. She won't take this matter to heart, so you don't have to feel too burdened."
Dorothy felt relieved when she heard her best sister's words. She smiled and nodded, "I understand."
Sariel casually flipped through the documents handed in by the employees, chatting with Dorothy as he flipped through them. There was some surprise in his tone that was hard to conceal, and his emotions overflowed.
"I only knew that her identity was not simple, but I never thought that she was the heir of the famous Horton family."
"It's a bit too complicated. Fortunately, I didn't have any conflict with her at that time--"
"I finally understand why Charles didn't dare to retaliate after being beaten up. It was because he didn't dare to provoke the other party."
Dorothy nodded in agreement. She really didn't expect that such a gentle oriental woman had a force behind her that belonged to the Horton family. This really shocked her.
It turns out that what her father said about not judging a person by his appearance is true.
As for the slight hostility she felt towards Ji Chengna, her love rival, it also disappeared.
He was not unaware of the relationship between the Horton family and the Eker family. He heard that they were related in some way, so the two of them were so close, probably because of their blood relationship.
When she thought of this possibility, her depressed mood became cheerful again, and she even sent a signal of invitation to Sariel.
Sariel did not agree immediately because there were some things in the family recently that required her to take care of them.
Dorothy couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she heard the other party's rejection, but she didn't say much. The two chatted for a few more minutes and then hung up the phone.

Ji Cheng thought that after the meal, the itinerary Oliver arranged for her would be complete, but she didn't expect that an auction would be arranged afterwards.
Oliver didn't bring her here expecting to take pictures of anything, he just wanted to bring Ji Cheng here to have some fun.
The organizer of the auction house was a friend of his, and when he knew he was coming, he immediately reserved the best seat for him.
The auction house is in a good location, close to the center. The auction venue is large and famous, and the security is of the highest level. After all, antiques worth tens of thousands of dollars come in and out every day, so the security level must naturally keep up. What if they are robbed?
That would just damage your reputation, so this kind of thing must never be allowed to happen.
By the time Ji Cheng, Oliver and the others arrived, it was almost evening. The dusk in the sky was covered with burning clouds, covering the entire sky.
Oliver's friends knew that Oliver was coming and even took the initiative to go out and greet him.
Whether to welcome Oliver or to see the true face of the heir of the Horton family, only he himself knows.
John is an antique collector and his family also runs an auction business. Their auction house is well-known internationally and is considered one of the best.
In several large auctions that Ji Cheng had attended before, the John family's presence could be seen everywhere.
"This must be Miss Ji, I've heard a lot about you, but I didn't expect you to be as beautiful as the rumors say~~"
John has a natural talent for languages and high emotional intelligence, and he is never stingy with compliments, which are basic skills for a businessman.
Ji Cheng just smiled indifferently and didn't take it seriously. She was deeply touched by the upper class's way of treating people differently according to their social status.
After a brief greeting, John took the two to the auction venue.
The huge venue was decorated with local characteristics, with the smell of money everywhere. There were even private boxes, with all kinds of options available.
The news that Ji Cheng was attending the auction was spread by someone, and people who got the news flocked to the auction, all wanting to take this opportunity to get in touch with her.
——The Little Theatre of Thoughts
Dorothy: I was wrong T^T
Sariel: Shock, open the door for Shock, Shock is home
John: What? Ji Cheng is coming? Double the price! Make a fortune!
