Chapter 417: Chapter 417

Even if some people did not see the hot search last night, some people had taken screenshots of the self-directed play by Aurora and circulated them among their circles of friends.

So, there are quite a few people in the circle who knew about it.

They were deliberately saying this at this moment, just to flatter her.

Aurora raised the hem of her skirt and looked haughty, “Don’t compare me with someone who is too inferior to show in public, who have you treated me as?”

At this time, Aurora’s father came and brought two persons with him, “Aurora, please come over here.”

Aurora walked over, hugged her father’s arm and looked at the persons beside him, “Dad, they are?”

Aurora’s father introduced, “This is William, the head of a huge foreign company. This is Emmett, the president of Star Ferry Technology. He is young and promising, a rare talent.”

Hearing that, Aurora did not move her eyesight away from Emmett.

This man was on a par with Clarence.

Moreover, she had heard of Star Ferry Technology. A big hit game now was developed by their company.

Aurora stretched her hand towards Emmett. Her face was full of smile, “Hello Mr. Carter, I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Emmett looked indifferent and shook her hand for a moment before quickly withdrawing it.

William said, “I’ve long heard that Ms. Barton is smart and beautiful. When I see you today, it’s indeed true.”

Aurora was half-exasperated by everyone who said she was not as pretty as Stella last night, but when she heard his words now, she was overjoyed, “You have good taste.”

As soon as Aurora’s words left her mouth, she was scolded by her father in a low voice, “Aurora, don’t be rude, this is dad’s business partner, you should call him Mr. William.”

Aurora did not care about her father. After all, Clarence had apologized to her, so how could she take others seriously?

William smiled, “It’s alright. I don’t expect that although Ms. Barton is young, she has her own way of thinking.”

Aurora’s father was a little embarrassed, “It’s all my fault for not being able to teach my daughter properly, I hope that Mr. William will not take it seriously.”

“It doesn’t matter, my daughter is not much elder than Ms. Barton.”

Aurora’s father said, “Mr. William has a daughter? How come I’ve never seen before?”

William did not say anything but smiled.

At this time, someone walked up to Aurora’s father and whispered, “Mr. Barton, Mr. Conrad is here.”

Aurora’s father said, “Quickly invite him to come over here.”

Although there had been some conflict with Clarence because of the marriage, time had passed for so long and the Conrad family and Conrad group were so prestigious, no one would have been willing to become Clarence’s enemy.

Seeing this, Emmett greeted William and Aurora’s father with a nod and then left.

Aurora’s father was puzzled, “What’s wrong with Mr. Carter?”

William held the champagne in his hand and slowly said, “Mr. Barton still doesn’t know, right? Mr. Carter has confessed to Mr. Conrad’s girlfriend before, probably he feels awkward to meet him.”

Hearing this, Aurora’s face instantly sank, “What?”

William looked at her, “Ms. Barton is also interested in this matter?”

Aurora stomped her feet and left with a reluctant face.

In response to her rudeness, Aurora’s father could only smile awkwardly, “Mr. William ...”

William had originally come to explore the domestic market and had worked with both Conrad Group and Steward Group successively. That had already sort of opened up his popularity completely. Now, there were quite a few companies that wanted to cooperate with him. Aurora’s father was naturally one of them.

The people that he had sent there were rejected several times. He did not expect that just a few days ago, William actually took the initiative to call him, saying that he wanted to cooperate. Now, the contract had not been officially signed, Aurora’s father was a bit worried. He was afraid of offending him.

William took the champagne and took a sip. His smile was shallow and his emotion could not be understood.

Not long after, a waiter led Clarence to walk over there.

Aurora’s father posed a few gestures and spoke in a light-hearted manner, “Aurora’s birthday is a small one, it’s an honour for her to bother Mr.

Conrad to make a special trip.”

Clarence’s expression remained unchanged. His tone was indifferent, “Mr. Barton is right. It’s indeed an honour for her.”

Aurora’s father was speechless.

This man was indeed very arrogant like what people had said, not taking politeness seriously at all.

Before he could continue speaking, Clarence looked to the side, “Mr. William is also here?”

William smiled and nodded his head.

Aurora’s father immediately continued saying, “Mr. William is an honoured guest I invite.”

“Oh.” Clarence continued nonchalantly, “However, Mr. Barton invites him to such an occasion, it seems that you don’t really take this honoured guest seriously.”

Aurora’s father’s face changed, “What does Mr. Conrad mean by this?”

Clarence said slowly and methodically, “It’s Ms. Barton’s birthday today, the people invited are all young people, Mr. William is probably not quite comfortable with such an occasion.”

At these words, Aurora’s father’s face eased up a little. Not waiting for an explanation from him, Clarence continued saying, “Not long ago, Mr.

Thomas’ birthday banquet was probably not even this grand, right?”

Instantly, Aurora’s father’s expression stiffened.

It was fine to host a birthday banquet. However, Cameron was highly respected in City N. Many people respected him. He had held his 80th birthday banquet not long ago. Although theoretically there was nothing wrong that he hosted a birthday banquet for Aurora, if the banquet is grander than Cameron’s, it would inevitably lead to criticism.

But in reality, if Clarence had not brought this issue up, no one would have cared at all.

With these successive sentences, Aurora’s father was wondering whether he was here to celebrate Aurora’s birthday or he was here to have a fight.

With his words, Aurora’s father hurriedly echoed, “Yes, yes, yes, Mr. William is right. If Mr. Conrad did not remind me, I won’t have thought about it so much, I will definitely pay a visit to Mr. Thomas’ house one day.”

William smiled faintly, “That is not necessary.”

Aurora’s father was stunned, “Why ... why?”

“I heard that Ms. Barton and Mr. Conrad’s ...”

He just paused for a second before Clarence added, “Fiancee.”

William kept that smile and continued, “They seem to have some misunderstanding.”

Aurora’s father frowned, but quickly added, “I haven’t heard of this, but what does this have to do with my visit to Mr. Thomas’ house?”

Clarence spoke indifferently, “Doesn’t Mr. Barton know that Mr. Thomas intended to adopt Stella as his granddaughter?”

Aurora’s father was shocked, “When did this happen? How come I haven’t heard anything about it?”
