Gregory remainedposed upon hearing the remarks, though his eyes hinted at a mix of emotions.


    “Oh dear, I’ve heard about that incident before. It’s been so many years, yet someone still brings it up.


    They really have nothing better to


    do!” Gregory spoke with a hint of disdain.


    “Jealousy, that’s what it is! Seeing someone receive endless congrattions on their birthday, marry


    into wealth, and be as


    beautiful as a flower can make others green with envy. It’smon


    for people to resort to backstabbing and spreading rumors behind the scenes. Even the artists in my


    entertainmentpany engage in


    such petty squabbles all the time. It’s ridiculous!” Gregory tightened his lips, furrowing his brow.


    Though thements weren’t directed at anyone specific, they still stung nheless.


    “Chairman Thompson is truly a person of integrity and loyalty,” someone chimed in. “Despite 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!”


    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 Wyatt’s expense, but it


    backfired, earning his elder brother a wave of praise instead.

    ‘Were these people so blind to power and influence that they’d even


    fawn over Wyatt if he messed up?’ Cameron thought.


    Gregory nced at his watch and scanned the room, but Justin was


    nowhere in sight.


    “Chairman Salvador, on such an important asion tonight, why


    hasn’t Mr. Salvador arrived yet?” Cameron asked tentatively.


    Gregory replied, “Oh, he’ll be here shortly.”


    “Really? That’s great!”


    Cameron’s eyes lit up, his tone bing more enthusiastic.”


    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 I’m


    looking for potential partners.”


    He briefly exined the project, and Gregory nodded, showing a hint


    of interest.


    “My daughter, Cecily, has proposed two excellent coboration


    proposals recently. She’ll be joining uster. After the party,


    a meeting where you and your son can join us for a deeper discussion if you’re interested,” Cameron


    said, seizing the oppo


    “Your daughter?” Gregory furrowed his brow.

    “Yes, I only have one daughter, Cecily Thompson. She’s the same ag


    as my brother’s daughter, Be, just four months younger. She


    studied at the top university in Helionis, receiving a full schrship


    every year. She even served as a trantor 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,” Cameron proudly introduced his daughter, as if he were promoting a high-end


    product he had personally crafted.

    The guests nearby couldn’t help but think to themselves, ‘We all know your daughter doesn’t need


    merit to enter KS Group…’


    “Ah, truly an outstanding woman,” Gregory praised with forced


    enthusiasm.


    “Then it’s settled. I’ll arrange it after the party!” Cameron dered.


    Gregory was slightly taken aback. ‘Settled? Who said it’s settled?’


    Though Gregory wasn’t young anymore, he wasn’t naive. Could he not


    see that Cameron’s 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.


    “Vice Chairman Thompson, my father hasn’t agreed yet. How could


    you say it’s settled?” Justin’s cold and direct voice interrupted their


    conversation.


    All eyes turned as Justin approached, exuding a cool elegan


    dark, aloof eyes.


    “Justin, why did youe sote?” Gregoryined but sec


    felt relieved.


    The smile on Cameron’s face froze for a moment. Just as he was


    about to speak, Justin coolly interrupted, “If this is a genuine.


    business discussion, Vice Chairman Thompson, you could have


    chosen a more appropriate time instead of rushing into things. At the very least, we should follow the


    proper procedures for scheduling a
