Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Connor’s instincts were always correct. He realized there had to be some hidden reason for Christopher’s abrupt shift in attitude toward John.
But, having never met Christopher before, he dismissed the idea.
However, when he saw Christopher approaching him, he suspected something was wrong.
“Mr. Connor, you’re here! It’s fantastic. I’ve finally found you!”
Christopher exclaimed with delight as he saw Connor.
Freya and Maya, who were standing next to Connor, were taken aback when they heard Christopher’s comments, their faces filled with shock.
Jake and Rubin couldn’t help but turn to gaze at Connor, their eyes filled with skepticism.
They couldn’t figure out why Christopher addressed Connor as Mr. Connor.
It wasn’t only them who couldn’t figure it out; even Connor couldn’t figure out how Christopher knew who he was!
“Have we ever met before?”
Connor inquired, his face wrinkled to a frown.
“We haven’t, but ATr. Thomas is a good friend of mine. I came over since I heard you were here…”
Christopher smiled in response.
“Mr. Thomas?”
Connor frowned slightly.
“Thomas Morgan.”
Christopher whispered the name.
Connor finally understood when he heard this. Christopher turned out to be neither Thomas’s subordinate nor a company worker. He had just learned that Connor would be attending John’s birthday celebration, so he went out of his way to meet him.
Because he was aware of Connor and Freya’s connection, Christopher was ready to accept the defeat to John.
“Oh!”
Connor softly nodded his head as he realized what was going on.
“Mr. Connor, I came to look for you this time…”
Christopher was about to continue speaking when he discovered Connor had stepped on his shoes. He gazed at him with considerable perplexity.
Connor winked at him, implying that he shouldn’t go on. If he continued allowing Christopher to talk, his identity would certainly be revealed.
Christopher was no moron. He understood what Connor meant and immediately shut his lips and smiled flatteringly at him.
The individuals sitting next to Connor were all perplexed, even if they had no idea what Connor and Christopher were up to.
They could see Christopher was not there for John, but for Connor.
Freya looked at Connor calmly, not as taken aback as the others.
She was aware of his and Thomas’s connection. It wasn’t difficult for
Christopher to delight Connor if he had a favor to ask of Thomas. Furthermore, Christopher mentioned Thomas’ name earlier in the chat.
Rubin cast an odd glance towards Connor. He first mistook Connor for an average individual with no great background.
Christopher’s courteous approach toward him, on the other hand, made Rubin realize that things weren’t as easy as he imagined!
“What brings you here, Mr. Christopher? This is where the Phillips family’s younger generation sits. My father has already reserved you a place…”
Walter rushed to Christopher’s side.
“I’m free to sit wherever I want. Is it your responsibility to keep me under control? I’m now speaking with Mr. Connor. Go do what you need to do…”
Christopher yelled at Walter.
He was terrified of John since he knew he was Connor’s fiancee’s grandpa. However, he doesn’t care about Walter at all.
“Mr.Connor?”
When he heard Christopher’s statements, Walter was taken aback. Then he glanced at Connor, stunned.
“Mr. Christopher, you… Is this the Mr. Connor you’re talking about?”
Walter inquired, disbelievingly, pointing at Connor.
“That’s correct. Go do what has to be done. Don’t interrupt my conversation with Mr. Connor!”
He reached out and shoved Connor.
Walter glanced at him, wondering how to express his present emotions. He turned back and was getting ready to leave after a little pause.
“Mr. Connor, are you also here? I’ve finally found you!”
But soon as Walter looked around, he heard another voice.
He was taken aback and turned his head away from the action. A middle-aged guy in a black suit was sprinting towards Connor.
“Joshua Qualls?” With an unbelieving gaze, Walter remarked.
Joshua Qualls, the general manager of Eon Investment Company and the employer of Qahira’s fiance, Shane, was sprinting toward Connor.
Despite being from Porthampton, Joshua had no business relationships with the Phillips family.
He was certainly there for Connor.
Brooklyn, John, and Gabriel all saw the situation and turned to look at where Connor was sitting.
“Mr. Connor, I’m sorry for being late…” Joshua murmured, gasping for air as he approached Connor’s side.
“Why are you here?”
Connor sat there, helpless, as he questioned Joshua.
“I heard your fiancee’s grandfather’s birthday is today, so I came to congratulate him…”
With a grin, Joshua explained.
“Oh!”
Connor nodded hopelessly and said nothing more.
He was concerned that Joshua might discover his true identity if he said too much.
But he couldn’t figure out who had divulged his whereabouts. Christopher may have found him by chance, but Joshua, who had no relationship with Christopher, getting the news was most obviously not by chance!
“Mr. Connor, 1’11 go first and congratulate Mr. John. I’ll find you later!”
With a grin, Joshua remarked.
“Okay!”
Connor gave a small nod.
Joshua then pulled out the present he had packed ahead of time and ran towards John. Everyone was taken aback when they saw Joshua go away.
They had no idea everyone would come to congratulate John because of Connor!
Furthermore, it was two well-known Porthampton CEOs who exceeded everyone’s expectations.
“Joshua is the general manager of Eon Investment Company, right?”
Rubin took the initiative to question him at this time..
