Chapter 963: The Gala Begins!

After Jovan and the others left, Connor didn’t care about what had just happened at all.
After all, someone like Jovan wasn’t worth Connor’s energy.
Soon, Thomas, Kyle, Charles, Cade, and other big shots walked into the hall.
Connor noticed that there was also a dignified middle-aged man accompanying Thomas. The middle-aged man bore some resemblance to Joey and should be Joey’s younger brother, Langston, who was also the most important figure in this event.
However, Connor didn’t see anyone from the Rockefeller family, or it could be said that Birdie wouldn’t personally attend such an occasion.
But all of this was no longer important because as long as Birdie received this message, Connor’s purpose would be achieved.
When most of the guests had arrived, Thomas directly instructed the hotel staff to open the doors to the hall.
Everyone followed Thomas, Kyle, and others into another hall.
It was only at this moment that Connor realized that the hall they had been in earlier was just a waiting hall. The actual party was taking place in the hall inside.
The interior hall was decorated much better than the exterior hall, and the banquet was already set up inside.
The staff began arranging the seating according to the guests’ status. The closer the position, the more prestigious the status, and the farther back, the lower the status.
After about ten minutes, most people had found their seats.
Sadie, Sabrina, Yara, and others came in through Fan Wei’s connections. They didn’t originally have seats, but Nicole saw that Connor knew Sadie, Sabrina, and others, so she arranged for them to sit beside her.
Nicole’s own seat was actually quite far back, but for Sadie, Yara, and others, having a seat was already good enough. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
They didn’t dare to be picky in such a situation.
However, Sheldon and Harold were seated in a very prominent position because of Jovan’s relationship. After all, Jovan and Henny had terrifying backgrounds.
Harold behaved very naturally from start to finish because he had a good relationship with Jovan. It was only natural for him to sit beside Jovan.
Sheldon, on the other hand, was somewhat overwhelmed. He whispered to Jovan, “Thank you so much for arranging me in such a prominent position…”
Sheldon’s father was just a deputy mayor in a remote city, and he didn’t even have the qualifications to attend such an event. But now Sheldon could sit in the front three rows, and he was definitely very excited.
“It’s nothing. You’re Harold’s friend, so you’re my friend too,” Jovan seemed to still be recovering from what happened with Connor earlier and replied in a low voice.
“That Connor is really arrogant. I really don’t know where he gets the courage…” Sheldon knew what Jovan was thinking, so he quickly chimed in.
“Hmph…” Jovan snorted coldly and continued, “If it wasn’t for Deckard ruining my good time, I would definitely teach Connor a lesson. Even if he has a powerful background, it won’t matter…”
“Calm down. Now that we’ve figured out Connor’s identity, as long as we wait until the banquet is over, wouldn’t it be easy for us to deal with this kid?”
Henny noticed that Jovan’s voice was a little loud, so he reminded him softly.
Jovan took a deep breath and did not continue.
“I heard that Uncle Cade has a good relationship with Mr. Connor. Have you met Mr. Connor?”
At this moment, Harold was curious about who Mr. Connor really was. However, he noticed that the main seat at the table where Thomas, Cade, and others were sitting remained empty, indicating that Mr. Connor hadn’t arrived yet.
“I haven’t met this Mr. Connor either, but my father said that he would introduce me to Mr. Connor today…” Jovan said casually.
Upon hearing Jovan’s words, Sheldon, Harold, Henny, and the others naturally felt extremely envious. After all, they had witnessed the power and influence of Mr. Connor today. If Jovan could really get to know him, it would be like reaching the sky in one step.
Jovan himself was also very proud and continued, “Don’t worry, when we meet Mr. Connor later, I will definitely bring all of you along. I’ll introduce you to him, at least leaving him with some impression of you, right?”
“Well, thank you so much.” Sheldon gratefully exclaimed.
On the other hand, Harold and Henny felt somewhat disappointed. Among the four heirs of the provinces, the one with the most terrifying background and strength was Arthur, as the Synder family had already reached the core of power in Oprana. Next was Henny, and Jovan came after.
Harold, due to his father’s promotion, was on par with Jovan.
But if he got to know Mr. Connor, his network and connections might surpass those of Henny and Harold. That was the reason for their disappointment.
Sheldon, on the other hand, was not on the same level as Jovan, so he didn’t have such thoughts.
On the other side, Deckard approached Thomas after seeing that Mr. Connor hadn’t appeared yet. He asked softly, “Mr. Thomas, when is Mr. Connor coming? When do you think it’s suitable to start the event?”
“Mr. Connor is already here. If most of the guests have arrived, then let’s start!” Thomas replied.
“He’s already here?” Deckard’s eyes flashed with surprise.
Upon hearing this, everyone else also looked at Thomas with puzzled expressions.
After hesitating for a moment, Thomas stood up and walked to the stage at the front.
Everyone knew that when Thomas stepped onto the stage, it meant that the event was about to begin, so they all quieted down.
Thomas took the microphone from the host’s hand and briefly greeted the guests. Then, he turned his gaze to Connor, who was not far away.
Connor nodded slightly, indicating that Thomas could proceed.
Thomas smiled faintly and said softly, “Thank you all for taking the time to come here. I know that you didn’t come for me, but to meet our company’s CEO, Mr. Connor. And Mr. Connor is here among us today, so please welcome him to the stage to say a few words!”
