Chapter 313: Do You Know Connor?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Winston heard what Tristan said, he quickly asked softly, “Uncle Tristan, are you talking about Connor McDonald, Mr. McDonald?”
“That’s right!” Tristan nodded lightly.
Winston inhaled sharply because he could confirm that Connor, whom his son had offended yesterday, was his boss.
“Uncle Tristan, isn’t it inappropriate for you to stand here?” As Winston spoke, he sized up the people behind Tristan. He was shocked!
Winston realized that any of the people standing behind Tristan was famous. Even Winston did not dare to offend them.
However, Winston felt that these people were all here for Connor. That was understandable. After all, Winston knew Connor’s influence very well.
However, Winston could not understand that these people were all standing at the door. On the contrary, the lesser people of the Phillips Family were all sitting inside. Logically speaking, the Phillips Family was not stupid. They should not have allocated seats like this!
“Mr. John Phillips asked me to stand here!” Tristan knew the relationship between the Phillips Family and Connor, so he did not dare to lose his temper. He could only reply indifferently.
“Mr. Phillips asked you to stand here?”
Winston was stunned when he heard this. He then turned to look at John standing at the side.
At this moment, John was completely dumbfounded. He stood rooted in a daze. He looked extremely terrified.
He had never thought that Tristan would be the real deal. He had originally thought that Tristan and the others were all the actors Connor had found, so he had asked them to stand at the hall’s entrance!
But if they were actors, Winston would never know them, and he would never speak to them in such a respectful tone!
Gabriel and Brooklyn were even more surprised. They stood beside John in a daze. At this moment, the two seemed to have guessed what was happening.
Sean, Walter, Laura, and the others stood rooted to the ground with puzzled expressions.
“John, what is going on?” Winston frowned and asked John.
“Winston, can we talk in private?” John hesitated and asked in a low voice.
“What’s going on? Just tell me!” Winston was not in the mood to talk nonsense with John. So he replied anxiously.
John stood there and hesitated. Then, he explained with trembling lips, “Winston, so… Previously, my useless grandson-in-law found an actor to pretend to be Mr. Qualls of Eon Investment Company, so 1 had to chase him out. Then, Tristan Lawson and the others arrived. I originally thought these people were actors my grandson-in-law hired, so I…”
“A useless grandson-in-law? Joshua Qualls?”
When Winston heard these words, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Winston was also Thomas’s subordinate, and Joshua was also Thomas’s subordinate. In addition to the useless grandson-in-law that John had just mentioned, Winston finally reacted to what was happening!
“John, the useless grandson-in-law you’re talking about couldn’t be Mr. McDonald, right?” Winston asked softly.
When John heard Winston’s words, his expression changed drastically. He hurriedly stammered, “John, do you also know Connor?”
“Haha…”
Winston sneered and sighed internally. John was really lucky and didn’t know how lucky he was. He landed such a grandson-in-law and still didn’t know!
However, Winston knew Connor had always been very low-key and did not like exposing his identity. Thomas had especially emphasized this to them back then, so Winston did not clarify it. Instead, he asked, “John, how do you know that Joshua Qualls is fake?”
“Because that person gave me a counterfeit. I don’t think a big shot like Mr. Qualls would give me a fake, right?” John hurriedly replied.
“Where is it? Let me see!” Winston quickly said.
John was stunned. Then, he got someone to pick up the reishi mushroom he had thrown on the ground and respectfully handed them to Winston!
When Winston saw the reishi mushroom, he was shocked!
He didn’t expect Joshua to be so generous!
“John, do you know what kind of reishi mushroom this is?” John hurriedly asked when he saw Winston’s expression was slightly off.
“John, oh, John! Mr. Qualls gave you such an expensive gift, but you don’t even know how to cherish it! What other gifts do you want?” Winston could not help but sigh softly.
“Winston, are you joking with me? Isn’t this just an artificially cultivated reishi mushroom? How could it be an expensive gift?” John wiped the sweat off his forehead and replied.
At this moment, John, Brooklyn, and the others felt something was wrong.
“Cultivated reishi mushroom?!” Winston looked at John and sneered. Then, he said expressionlessly, “John, let me tell you, this is not some artificially cultivated reishi mushroom. This is an extremely rare hundred-year-old red reishi mushroom! At the auction at Sotheby’s in Hong Kong, this piece had a starting price of five million. In the end, it was bought by Joshua Qualls for ten million. Joshua has given it to you, and you say this is an artificially cultivated reishi mushroom?”
When John heard this, he was completely stunned.!
Brooklyn, Gabriel, and the others inhaled sharply and were speechless.
Of course, the most awkward person was Rubin, who had been mocking Connor and Freya all this while!
After all, the person who said that he wanted to open the gift was Rubin. Winston’s words were undoubtedly a slap to Rubin’s face, and at the same time, it was a slap to the face of everyone in the Phillips Family!
Everyone present widened their eyes in shock as they stared at the reishi mushroom in Winston’s hand.
They had never thought such an ordinary-looking reishi mushroom would have such great value!
However, what shocked them the most wasn’t the value of the reishi mushroom. If the reishi mushroom was real, Joshua’s identity was also real!
Thinking of this, everyone turned to look at the hall’s entrance!
Tristan Lawson from Travio Corporation!
The general manager of Dragon Age in Chicago, Zachary Zacarias!
The chairman of Domus Real Estate Group in Wichita, Julius Weber!
The CEO of Paxton Tradings, Paxton Lowe!
Any random person was someone they could only dream of but could not reach!
