Chapter 102 The True Revered Figure

Graham Cabot? The chairman of Graham Group?

The moment the crowd heard those words, they were instantly stunned.

Even Hugo himself doubted whether he had misheard.

As the top real estate firm in Jadeborough, Graham Group’s market value had long since exceeded several billion. Besides, Graham himself invested a lot in other industries.

After totaling everything, his net worth went beyond a whopping ten billion.

Of course, the Smith family wanted to have an acquaintance with a billionaire like him, but they were not in the same league.

Don’t tell me he’s also here because of Jonathan?

At that thought, Hugo instinctively shot his gaze at Jonathan, who was sitting in the obscure corner. Alas, the man was talking with Josephine in hushed voices and did not even lift his head to spare others a single glance.

Indeed, that was the unvarnished truth—both Graham and the three prominent families of Jadeborough were nothing in Jonathan’s eyes compared to Josephine.

 

“Why are you here, Mr. Cabot?” Hugo hastily went out to greet Graham. Ever since Randall’s arrival, he had been busy greeting all the big shots, hardly having a chance to take a seat.

Unbelievably, the least of them all were the three prominent families of Jadeborough.

Thus, he had to welcome and greet every single one of them himself.

“I heard that it’s the Smith family’s annual party today, so I came specially to offer my felicitations. Old Mr. Smith, surely you wouldn’t mind inviting me in, yes?” Smiling, Graham waved a hand, and his subordinate immediately stepped forward with a gift.

“Of course not! It’s my honor to have you here today!” Hugo promptly led him to the table where Randall and the others were seated.

At the sight of Randall, Graham greeted him with a grin, “Mr. Swindell!”

“Mr. Cabot!”

In response, Randall nodded his head.

Someone like Graham, who had a net worth of over ten billion, was actually no longer under the purview of Jadeborough. Nonetheless, his industries were still in the city, so courtesy dictated that he greeted the mayor upon meeting.

Since Graham was here, another person naturally had to give up his seat.

By then, almost all the guests who were initially seated at the main table had been reseated by Hugo.

“Are you also here today because of Jonathan, Mr. Cabot?” Hugo could not resist asking.

It was no wonder he had such a query since all the bigwigs of that day came because of Jonathan. The Smith family itself did not hold that much sway.

“Of course, it’s because of Mr. Goldstein!” Chuckling, Graham remarked, “Although he didn’t invite me, how could I not come when he’s going to be here?”

Even Graham was addressing Jonathan respectfully as Mr. Goldstein.

In fact, none among them seated at that table dared to address him by his name.

“W-What exactly is Mr. Goldstein’s identity that all you revered figures personally came to see him?” After a long hesitation, Hugo gave voice to the question that had been bugging him endlessly.

Upon hearing that, the initially boisterous crowd quietened considerably.

Hugo was not the only person who wanted to know the answer to that question. Every single person there harbored a similar interest.
