Rebirth: Clinging to My Possessive Magnate-Chapter 731 Unexpected Visitor
Sophie Wilson’s nonchalant attitude made Hayley Cole snort coldly, saying, "I’m not concerned; I’m just trying to broaden my horizons and see what kind of birthday gift you can come up with to impress us."
"Alright, in that case, I’ll satisfy your curiosity," Sophie Wilson chuckled, "Actually, the value of a gift isn’t what’s important, but the thought behind it is what counts." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"Yes, thoughtfulness is important, but don’t just randomly get something and pass it off as a gift, or that’ll be embarrassing." Hayley Cole had no intention of letting Sophie Wilson off the hook. Weren’t they just pressing James Reed step by step? Now, what?
She was eager to see what kind of good gift Sophie Wilson and Charles Seymour could come up with!
Sophie Wilson simply smiled; before she could speak, a waiter at the banquet hall entrance hurriedly walked in and whispered something to Martin Seymour.
Martin Seymour looked at the entrance in puzzlement, then said to Old Mr. Seymour, "Dad, there’s a guest at the door without an invitation."
"Who is it?" Old Mr. Seymour asked, a bit curious.
Supposedly there were plenty of people from the business world wanting to attend his birthday banquet, especially since the recent news broke out about his grandson Charles being the chairman of the Peace Group. More and more people were finding ways to cozy up to him.
However, generally speaking, people understood the rules and had dignity. Uninvited arrivals like this were unheard of.
Who could be so nonchalant?
"The owner of Lingzhu Gemstones," Martin Seymour whispered into Old Mr. Seymour’s ear.
"Him?!" Old Mr. Seymour looked at Martin Seymour in surprise.
He knew Lingzhu Gemstones well—or rather, who in the Imperial City didn’t know about Lingzhu Gemstones?
Lingzhu Gemstones sold jade accessories, but they’d never needed to plea for business. On the contrary, many people came begging, with money in hand, to buy from them due to their superb quality and craftsmanship.
The owner of Lingzhu Gemstones wasn’t closely associated with anyone. His visit... surely wasn’t to ingratiate himself with the Seymour family; there was no need for that.
"Let him in," Old Mr. Seymour said.
Martin Seymour nodded, turned, and called over his son-in-law, Alexander Campbell, asking him to accompany and greet the guest.
Julian Campbell curiously watched his dad being sent by his grandfather, craning his neck to see what was going on.
Everyone’s attention was already on Old Mr. Seymour, hence they witnessed the entire situation unfold, all curious about what Alexander Campbell was up to.
Fortunately, Alexander Campbell returned swiftly without keeping everyone in suspense. Accompanying him was a man in his forties, wearing a traditional Chinese jacket and fabric shoes with layered soles.
This outfit truly required the right person to wear it; otherwise, it would look like typical kung fu wear, lacking any spirits. However, on the man accompanying Alexander Campbell, it exuded an air of leisure and comfort.
The guests here were not ordinary people; a single glance was enough for them to recognize the man’s identity. Among the crowd, someone softly exchanged familiar words.
"Isn’t that Patrick Grant, the Stone God Grant?"
"Yes, why is the owner of Lingzhu Gemstones here? Was he invited by the old gentleman?"
"Has the Stone God Grant ever attended anyone’s banquet?"
Upon hearing this question, many shook their heads blankly. They knew Patrick Grant to be akin to a reclusive expert, spending most of his time at home studying jade, apart from the occasional visits to Lingzhu Gemstones.
Back in the day, Patrick Grant was a legendary figure in the Gambling Stones Realm. They used to say that even deities found it hard to judge jade, yet Patrick Grant would win nine out of ten bets.
