Neera’s head was a mess. She subconsciously looked at Jean who was beside her helplessly.
Right then, Jean's gaze was cold as ice. It looked like he was suppressing something underneath as he exchanged glances with Avery Cox.
Avery was also staring at him.
There was invisible gunpowder smoke between the two. It was so tense that the air around them had reached sub-zero temperatures.
The more Neera looked at them, the more she frowned.
How did things end up like this?
The Gordons were also stunned as well. They didn’t expect that the Coxes would accept Neera so casually.
Baxter still refused to let go of the matter, and pointed his finger at Neera.
“Okay, okay! Since you’re the head, and no one can control you! Even if the Coxes don’t mind, Neera still has no right to lead the F.A Group!”
He glared at Neera disdainfully as he spoke.
“The Gordons have been doing business for more than a century now. Our network of connections is vast and complex. How can a puny ANXIN Group even compare? To put it bluntly, any client of F.A Group is much sturdier than ANXIN Group. What connections does ANXIN even have? How is Neera Garcia going to represent our family and convince our clients?”
Even though he had a conservative mindset, he wasn’t wrong.
ANXIN Group couldn’t compare with F.A Group.
The influence of F.A Group was international. They definitely ranked among the world’s top 50.
ANXIN Group, on the other hand, had only just secured a spot for themselves in Essley.
Compared to F.A Group, it pales in comparison.
The crowd of guests surrounding them agreed as well as they engaged in their own debates.
Neera had expected such a turn of events, just as she was about to retort, Jean stepped forward in front of her.
His eyes were filled with displeasure and impatience. “Who said that she doesn’t have any connections?” He replied coldly.
All eyes, shocked and confused, were now on Jean Beauvort.
Baxter snorted scornfully. “And who are *you*? Do you even have the right to speak up here?”
Jean wasted no time and got straight to the point. “I am Neera’s boyfriend. Weren’t you doubting her connections? Then I… I am her connection!”
Just as he finished speaking, a sneer escaped from Troy Gordon’s mouth.
“What a joke! Even random cats and dogs can act so pretentiously and talk back to us! He even dared to claim to be her connection! Talk about talking a good game!”
Neera’s face darkened as she heard how Jean was looked down upon.
As she was about to speak up, she was interrupted by another voice instead.
“How dare you speak so rudely to our master?!” Ian had come out of nowhere, yelling back at Troy.
Troy looked startled as he glanced at the person who appeared suddenly, so did everyone else.
Only Jean remained poised, and smirked sarcastically.
“Oh, is F.A Group really all that?”
When he said that, his posture was arrogant and domineering, shocking everyone at the scene.
Everyone then sized him up again and again. They realize that his aura was anything but ordinary.
Jean’s demeanor was even more demanding compared to Chad who was standing next to him.
His manner sparked much debate among the crowd.
“Who is this person? Why haven't I seen him before?”
“I don’t know. But just by looking at him, he doesn’t seem ordinary at all!”
“Why do I feel like he’s even bigger in popularity than Mr. Gordon?”
Amidst the whispers, Baxter’s cheeks moved. He could also sense that this man was no average Joe. When he spoke, he sounded much more polite than before.
“I wonder what your name is?”
Jean glared at him. Then, he said his name with every single syllable loud and clear. “Jean Beauvort.”
As soon as Baxter heard his response, he paused for a moment, then he started panicking.
It’s not like he hasn’t heard the surname ‘Beauvort’ before.
But when it comes to families with that surname, there should be no others that the ones in Kingsview.
Kingsview… Adriana and Neera were both from Kingsview!
In an instant, many doubts and suspicions filled Baxter’s head.
How could this be?
How could such a big name like the Beauvorts set their sights on the successor of the mere ANXIN Group?
It must be a coincidence!
At this time, the butler came rushing in from outside, and reported to Neera and the others politely. “There’s a distinguished guest at the door, Ms. Garcia.”
By now, everyone who was invited was already here. Who else could it be?
“Who is it?” Chad asked.
“I’m not sure, I’ve never met them before. But they said that they were here to celebrate Ms. Garcia’s birthday.” The butler replied.
Chad was surprised. But before he could reply, he heard Jean answer softly. “Go and invite them in.”
The butler abided by his order, turned around and went to invite the guests in.
Chad looked at Jean again. He got his answer from his calm and confident expression.
It seems that these few new guests were invited by Jean to support them at this party…
