Chapter 1003

“Take him away.”

Damian waved, and Gordon was immediately escorted out.

People in the room lowered their heads. No one dared stop them.

No one dared offend Colton as he stood there without saying a word.

“I’m sorry for interrupting the wine party.

“You may proceed. I will come again if anything happens.”

Colton nodded slightly and left.

Damian and Colton were gone as soon as they came.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was as if they were never there.

However, the wine party’s atmosphere changed dramatically.

Again, a guy in Colton’s position would not do anything too brash.

He would not speak too straightforwardly either.

Though Colton made it seem simple, it was not as simple as they thought.

It was just like how Colton had never expressed any firm opinions since the beginning.

He had only greeted Sean.

However, people automatically thought that Sean and Colton were close.

Therefore, the way people treated Sean at this point was quite different from what it was earlier.

“Sean, I didn’t realize you knew Mr. Freeman.”

James gritted his teeth slightly and looked at Sean.

“It doesn’t matter who I know.

“Because someone will go after what you do.”

Sean put his palm on the arm of his chair and spoke calmly.

Hmph!

Words could not describe how aggrieved James felt.

However, he was afraid to do anything offensive to Sean.

Until he discovered Sean’s identity, he had to wait for further instructions from Jen-Bond Holdings’

headquarters.

Old Madam Quinn, Fion, and others frowned as they had mixed feelings.

What happened today was quite a surprise to them.

The Quinn family and others thought Sean would die today.

However, Sean not only counterattacked but also showed he had such a big backer.

It was something they had not expected.

The Quinn family was even more uncertain when seeing Sean’s calm and collected expression.

“Did I make a bad decision?”

Old Madam Quinn clenched her hand slightly and muttered to herself.

The Quinn family wanted to continue criticizing Sean but could not utter a word.

Fion’s eyes went back and forth over Quill and Sean.

Backed by Jen-Bond Holdings, Quill had a promising future.

However, even Jen-Bond Holdings was suppressed by Sean’s friend.

Did that not mean Sean’s background was more powerful than Quill’s?

Besides, their aura was different. Quill was ghastly pale while his eyes were full of panic.

Sean was calm and had the air of a big shot.

It was easy to tell who was stronger.

Fion’s heart wavered again, and her ideas gradually changed.

The wine party went on amidst the awkwardness.

Some people left early too.

However, more people stayed to keep their reputation.

However, the wine party had undergone a drastic change compared to earlier.

A few opportunistic fence-sitters made their choice.

Many came to Sean’s side with their wine glasses, smiling obsequiously.

“Here’s to you, Mr. Lennon!”

A middle-aged man bit the bullet and toasted Sean with a smile.

Sean glanced at the middle-aged man and slowly raised his glass.

Swoosh!

Flattered, the middle-aged man quickly bent over slightly, raised Sean’s glass slightly, and touched the bottom of Sean’s glass with the mouth of his glass.

Sean took a sip, but the middle-aged man downed it while looking punch-drunk.

Seeing the middle-aged man succeed, more people followed suit.

Society was realistic.

In particular, businessmen were only interested in profit. They would only mingle with. people who had power.

There was no doubt that Sean was the most powerful one in the eyes of the public.

More people got up and moved from Jon and the others’ side to Sean’s side to toast Sean.

James, Jon, and the others watched this scene with anger and frustration.

They wanted to drive Sean into the abyss with the wine party.

However, it became a place for Sean to make friends.

All their elaborate plans and the people they went out of their way to invite sided with Sean.

Hundreds of people were there, and 99% of the crowd gathered at Jon’s side.

Meanwhile, there were only dozens of people on Sean’s side at the start.

The headcount of the two parties had gradually become even.

Even now, there was a steady stream of people coming to Sean.

Five or six people even lined up to toast Sean.

Society’s fickleness was shown incisively and vividly at this moment.
