North America Gunman Detective

Chapter 530: The Eerie Friends Circle (Part 2)


Angelo is truly professional and patient; frankly, if it were a client of Jimmy's causing such trouble like him and Nia, he would have lost his temper long ago.

Angelo: "Okay, Mr. Yang, Ms. Miller, we need about a week to rush your order; please come by next week to confirm it."

Jimmy shook hands with Angelo to thank him, then left the InterContinental Hotel with Nia and Winston.

On the day of the engagement ceremony, Jimmy was still a bit hesitant, unsure of how many people his invitations would actually bring, considering many were important figures, and it was normal for them not to attend.

In the afternoon, some guests had already arrived at the hotel ballroom, most of the initial arrivals were relatives and friends on Nia's side, as well as friends of her father, Kevin Miller.

On Jimmy's side, only Cage, a colleague from the county police, and a few colleagues from the FBI arrived early, such as Peter, Ruiz, Ryan, while Mahong was still busy, so he wouldn't be coming for now.

Hughes and Mrs. Mason would arrive a little later, this was confirmed in advance, but Deputy Director Dave would not come, though he said he would attend Jimmy's wedding ceremony with his wife.

James came early and was chatting with Kevin, but Tom would not appear, he had contacted Jimmy; although his identity is not an issue now, he still isn't comfortable attending public events.

Checking his watch, Jimmy finally saw his friend who had traveled from afar, John Butler from the USSS, who had confirmed the time upon receiving Jimmy's invite.

Jimmy chatted briefly with him, then introduced Peter and the others, since they were colleagues, they should have a common language.

Approaching the reception area, Sam was already there with Mrs. Waltz, but they weren't convenient to sign in, so Jimmy went to greet them.

Jimmy bent down to hug Mrs. Waltz in the wheelchair, "Grandma Waltz, thank you for attending my engagement ceremony. Sam, thank you."

Jimmy took over the wheelchair, pushing Mrs. Waltz to Kevin and the others: "Kevin, this is my grandfather's best friend, Grandma Waltz. Grandma Waltz, this is my father-in-law, Kevin Miller."

Kevin looked at Jimmy in surprise; when Jimmy sent out the invitations, he didn't explain in detail who he was inviting, so he didn't know someone with such connections was coming: "Aunt Waltz, thank you for coming to Jimmy and Nia's engagement ceremony."

Mrs. Waltz: "Jimmy is a good boy, his family is no longer around, so I naturally couldn't miss his big day."

A waiter approached and whispered something to Jimmy, who indicated to Sam to take over the wheelchair, "Grandma Waltz, Kevin, sorry, I need to go greet some guests."

Noah Watson stood beside the reception area, and upon seeing Jimmy come out, he approached to shake his hand: "Congratulations, Jimmy. I'm here on behalf of Deputy Director Thomas."

Jimmy smiled and shook his hand: "Thank you, I thought you might not come. Please, let's talk inside."

Watson nodded and walked inside with Jimmy, "Thomas couldn't come at the moment, and his identity isn't suitable for public appearances, I hope you understand."

Jimmy: "I understand; oh, by the way, Mrs. Waltz is here too, she just arrived."

Watson: "Then I should go say hello."

Jimmy led Watson to Mrs. Waltz and leaned down to gently ask: "Grandma Waltz, Deputy Director Thomas Nolan couldn't come, he arranged for Watson to be here, would you like to meet him?"

Mrs. Waltz turned her head towards Watson, who immediately came forward to shake her hand: "Mrs. Waltz, sorry, Deputy Director Nolan couldn't come due to some reasons."

Mrs. Waltz patted his hand: "It's fine, as long as you're here, let's chat on the side."

Watson took the wheelchair handle from Sam and pushed Mrs. Waltz to the side.

Jimmy smiled looking around the venue, it seemed like everyone from his side had arrived; many had previously called him for various reasons and wouldn't be coming, including Lambert from the Dallas office, Harten from the Little Rock office, Torsten from the DEA, and so on.

Glancing at the time, it was about time for the ceremony host to announce the start; Jimmy headed backstage but was suddenly called back to the reception area, where someone in military uniform stood.

Smiling, Jimmy walked over: "I'm Jimmy Yang, may I ask who you are?"

The serviceman removed his hat and held it in his left hand, extending his right hand to shake Jimmy's, "I'm David Clinton, from the DIA. Mr. Andrew was originally supposed to come today, but due to an emergency, he's temporarily staying in Washington, D.C., so I'm here to apologize on his behalf."

Jimmy: "Oh, I remember you, you were in the living room during that time in the cabin."

David smiled and nodded: "Yes, I was indeed there that day."

Jimmy: "Please come in, I'll introduce you to some people."

"Jimmy." Jimmy was about to lead David inside when he heard someone call his name and turned to look, "Caitlin, thank you for coming to my engagement ceremony."

Caitlin: "I hope I'm not late."

Jimmy: "Certainly not, please come in."

Jimmy led David and Caitlin into the banquet hall, introducing David to Mrs. Waltz, then Caitlin to Watson, arranging everyone, then left.
