Gregory remained composed upon hearing the remarks, though his eyes hinted at a mix of emotions.
âOh dear, Iâve heard about that incident before. Itâs been so many years, yet someone still brings it up.
They really have nothing better to
do!â Gregory spoke with a hint of disdain.
âJealousy, thatâs what it is! Seeing someone receive endless congratulations on their birthday, marry
into wealth, and be as
beautiful as a flower can make others green with envy. Itâs common
for people to resort to backstabbing and spreading rumors behind the scenes. Even the artists in my
entertainment company engage in
such petty squabbles all the time. Itâs ridiculous!â Gregory tightened his lips, furrowing his brow.
Though the comments werenât directed at anyone specific, they still stung nonetheless.
âChairman Thompson is truly a person of integrity and loyalty,â someone chimed in. âDespite Madam
Celeste being a former actre and only giving birth to a daughter for Chairman Thompson, he h not once
mistreated her. It speaks volumes about his character!â
The guests nodded in agreement, prompting Cameron to smile awkwardly, feeling disgruntled inside.
Cameron had thought bringing up this matter would make others poke fun at Wyattâs expense, but it
backfired, earning his elder brother a wave of praise instead.

âWere these people so blind to power and influence that theyâd even
fawn over Wyatt if he messed up?â Cameron thought.
Gregory glanced at his watch and scanned the room, but Justin was
nowhere in sight.
âChairman Salvador, on such an important occasion tonight, why
hasnât Mr. Salvador arrived yet?â Cameron asked tentatively.
Gregory replied, âOh, heâll be here shortly.â
âReally? Thatâs great!â
Cameronâs eyes lit up, his tone becoming more enthusiastic.â
Actually, our group has a great project underway, focusing on
environmental protection, which is currently receiving strong support from the government. My elder
brother has entrusted it to me, and Iâm
looking for potential partners.â
He briefly explained the project, and Gregory nodded, showing a hint
of interest.
âMy daughter, Cecily, has proposed two excellent collaboration
proposals recently. Sheâll be joining us later. After the party,
a meeting where you and your son can join us for a deeper discussion if youâre interested,â Cameron
said, seizing the oppo
âYour daughter?â Gregory furrowed his brow.
P
âYes, I only have one daughter, Cecily Thompson. Sheâs the same ag
as my brotherâs daughter, Bella, just four months younger. She
studied at the top university in Helionis, receiving a full scholarship
every year. She even served as a translator for the President of
Helionis. After returning to Savrow, she joined KS Group based on her
own merit and is currently serving as the Director of the Product
Design Department,â Cameron proudly introduced his daughter, as if he were promoting a high-end
product he had personally crafted.
The guests nearby couldnât help but think to themselves, âWe all know your daughter doesnât need
merit to enter KS Groupâ¦â
âAh, truly an outstanding woman,â Gregory praised with forced
enthusiasm.
âThen itâs settled. Iâll arrange it after the party!â Cameron declared.
Gregory was slightly taken aback. âSettled? Who said itâs settled?â
Though Gregory wasnât young anymore, he wasnât naive. Could he not
see that Cameronâs intention to discuss business with him was just
an excuse? The real goal was to introduce his daughter, creating an
opportunity for their children to meet.
âVice Chairman Thompson, my father hasnât agreed yet. How could
you say itâs settled?â Justinâs cold and direct voice interrupted their
conversation.
All eyes turned as Justin approached, exuding a cool elegan
dark, aloof eyes.
âJustin, why did you come so late?â Gregory complained but sec
felt relieved.
The smile on Cameronâs face froze for a moment. Just as he was
about to speak, Justin coolly interrupted, âIf this is a genuine.
