Mr. Bennet had a leg injury, making it inconvenient for him to go on stage. The original plan was for Alexander Winslow to help him present the award.
Who knew, once Alexander arrived, he got caught up chatting with a female celebrity and sat far from Mr. Bennet, not even glancing in his direction.
After the host called Mr. Bennet's name several times, he slowly wheeled himself onto the stage.
The people present didn't show the same surprise as when they first saw him; his leg injury was already known to many.
A man like Mr. Bennet, with a formidable mind and innate business talent, wasn't diminished in others' eyes by his leg injury.
He was never one to conquer the masses with his looks; he always relied on his intellect.
When Mr. Bennet appeared on stage, there were many gasps in the audience, mostly from female guests in awe of him.
Lorraine Hughes followed him with her gaze when he appeared, quietly staring at him.
