Chapter 229

“Also you.”

Sophie raised an eyebrow and looked at Keith with disdain.

“An abandoned son kicked out by the Hayes family. Do you really think that just because you’ve latched onto a big tree, you can do whatever

you want?”

“Instead of asking Marcus why he’s here, you should ask yourself if an abandoned son has the right to stand here.”

Keith’s face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Sophie, ready to start cursing.

“Sophie, you-!”

“Enough! Don’t say another word!”

Gideon’s expression was equally bad, but he was more patient than Keith and still held on to some composure.

Keith looked confused. “Mr. Morgan, she’s said all of this to you, and you won’t let me speak up? Don’t tell me, like she said, that you’re actually backing down…”

“Enough?”

Gideon growled lowly, and Keith immediately realized he had said something wrong.

He covered his mouth and retreated behind Gideon, glaring at Sophie.

Sophie wasn’t afraid of him at all. She sneered at him coldly before turning her gaze to Marcus.

“This is a top–tier actor. I was afraid you couldn’t deal with him, so I took the first step. Don’t thank me too much.”

Marcus smiled lightly. “Then thank you, Sophie.”

“Marcos, I think Sophie misunderstood me just now. I have no intention of becoming your enemy, but Uncle insisted on giving me the CEO position, and I…”

Marcus frowned, and Gideon immediately stopped talking.

Marcus didn’t pay him any attention and turned to Sophie with a look of disdain.

“Definitely a top–tier actor.”

After saying that, Marcus didn’t even look at Gideon, wrapping his arm around Sophie’s waist and leaving.

Gideon’s face flushed with a mix of anger and embarrassment, but he didn’t dare lash out at Marcus. He could only suppress it.

The businessmen, who had been observing from the sidelines, quickly made their way toward Gideon.

They were eager to affiliate themselves with the Morgan Group, and now that the opportunity had arrived, they naturally had to seize it!

“Mr. Morgan, you managed to bring about the cooperation between Morgan Group and Hills Group at such a young age. Why let yourself get angry at him?”

One businessman handed Gideon a glass of wine and continued,

Chapter 229

“I heard that today the founder of Hills Group will also be attending the dinner. This is his first public appearance.”

“I heard you already met the founder of Hills Group when you were negotiating the cooperation. I wonder what kind of person he is. Is there anything we should pay attention to when interacting with him?”

These few sentences from the businessmen completely turned the situation around for Gideon, who had just lost face.

Gideon felt the compliments, and he instinctively straightened his back, forgetting the embarrassed demeanor he had shown in front of Marcus.

Just as he was about to speak, a deep voice came from the crowd.

“I’m hosting this dinner to welcome the founder of Hills Group. I’d also like to hear if he has any taboos, so we don’t make a fool of ourselves!”

Everyone turned in the direction of the voice and saw Hans walking in, dressed in a white and gold embroidered suit.

There were no unnecessary accessories, but he exuded an innate noble aura from head to toe.

His appearance was very much the standard Western look, with a hooked nose, high cheekbones, and paper–white skin without a hint of color.

His deep blue eyes were the symbol of the Hans royal family, a unique inheritance of the royal bloodline.

Hans walked forward with a friendly smile, not acting superior just because he was the crown prince.

“Hans, you’re too humble!”

Gideon bowed slightly, positioning himself in a lower status.

“Tonight, there are no distinctions between king and subject, we are all friends.”

Hans patted Gideon on the shoulder. “Come on, tell us about the founder of Hills Group. He’s quite the mysterious figure.”

The cooperation between Morgan Group and Hills Group wasn’t actually something Gideon had accomplished. He had no idea what the founder

of Hills Group was like.

But fortunately, he had already prepared for this before coming, so he had made sure to align his story with Old Mr. Morgan’s instructions.

He began speaking as per Old Mr. Morgan’s instructions.

The businessmen and Hans listened intently, and even capitalists standing on the other side became curious and gathered around.

Sophie sat on a sofa not far away, watching the group of people.

“Why are they so curious about the founder of Hills Group?”

Marcus, leaning back with his legs crossed, answered casually, “Ordinary people always revere and expect the extraordinary.”

“Is the founder of Hills Group really that impressive?”

Sophie asked, surprised.

She had always known that the founder of Hills Group was powerful, but to have Marcus describe the difference between them as one between mortals and gods… who exactly was this person?

“You can check for yourself.”

Marcus paused, then looked at Sophie with a playful gleam in his eyes.

“The achievements rumored in Riverland don’t even compare to one–tenth of his actual accomplishments.”

Sophie’s eyes widened in surprise, and she immediately pulled out her phone to search for the founder of Hills Group’s personal achievements.

On his Baidu Encyclopedia profile, his name, gender, age, and family information were all blank, but the “personal achievements” section was

filled with ten full pages.
