Chapter 869: Thomas Morgan’s Boss!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When everyone saw Leroy enter, they all stood up and greeted him.
Out of all the people present, only Sadie, Sabrina, Harold, and Sheldon did not stand up.
After all, although their backgrounds might not be comparable to Leroy’s, they were still a cut above the others.
“Mr. Jovi, you’re here?”
“Yes, Mr. Jovi, you’re here!”
For a moment, everyone surrounded Leroy and started to take the initiative to chat with him.
After all, now that these people knew Leroy’s identity, it was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a good relationship with such a rich heir!
Those girls all seemed to want to throw themselves at Leroy.
Even Roxanne wanted to get closer to Leroy. However, there were too many women around him now. Roxanne had no chance at all.
Wilhelmina, Yasmin, and Tobias were speechless when they saw this scene. They didn’t know what to say.
Although the three of them stood up, they were just being polite. They had no intention of fawning over Leroy.
“She’s really shameless. She wants to stick to a rich heir when she sees one… I really don’t know how Jared fell for her…”
Wilhelmina couldn’t help but mutter.
Tobias turned to look at Wilhelmina and said, “Alright, you’d better not say so much. Their matters have nothing to do with us. If Jared hears your words, he’ll be hurt…”
Wilhelmina looked helpless when she heard Tobias’s words, but she didn’t say anything else.
After all, this was Jared’s own business and had nothing to do with her.
Leroy smiled and said to everyone, “Everyone, please sit down. There’s no need to be so reserved. If you’re dissatisfied with our resort, feel free to say it out loud. You’re all friends of Mr. Phillips and Mr. Statton, so don’t be polite with me.”
“Mr. Jovi, you’re too polite!”
“How can we not be satisfied with such a good resort?”
“That’s right, Mr. Jovi, you’re too polite. We’re very satisfied with the environment here!”
After everyone heard Leroy’s words, they hurriedly responded with a smile.
Leroy did not seem to have any intention of continuing to pay attention to these people. Instead, he turned his head and looked indifferently at Harold’s position. He looked at Harold with a smile.
Among all the people present, it seemed that only Harold could make Leroy look up to him. Even Sheldon was slightly inferior.
After all, Harold’s father would soon become the Deputy Chief of War. If Leroy could build a good relationship with Harold, he would definitely benefit a lot.
After hearing Leroy’s words, Harold smiled faintly and said expressionlessly, “Mr. Jovi, your resort is indeed not bad. I like it very much…”
“As long as you don’t think there are any problems, Mr. Phillips…”
Leroy looked at Harold with a faint smile, then sat on the main seat.
Harold and Sheldon sat beside Leroy, followed by Sadie and Sabrina.
Everyone sat down according to their status. Tobias, Wilhelmina, Roxanne, and the others naturally sat at the serving seats, which were also the worst seats.
After Roxanne sat down, her expression was clearly displeased. She then turned to look at Penn.
Penn naturally understood what Roxanne meant. He couldn’t help but smile faintly, then take the initiative to make room for Roxanne.
Roxanne seemed to have already thought of how to break up with Jared. Therefore, she did not feel embarrassed at all and sat beside Penn without any hesitation.
When Tobias saw this scene, a trace of anger flashed across his eyes.
Tobias had never expected Roxanne to be so blatant.
What would Jared and Connor think if they came back and saw this scene?
However, because there were more people at the moment, and most of them were rich kids, Tobias naturally did not dare to say anything. He could only sit on the spot with a helpless expression.
After everyone was seated, the waiter began to serve the dishes.
Since it was Leroy’s treat, the dishes on the table naturally wouldn’t be bad.
Every dish here cost more than 1,000 dollars.
An ordinary person would probably only spend 1,000 dollars on an entire meal, but here, a single dish here might cost more than 1,000 dollars. This was the difference between a rich heir and an ordinary person.
Everyone chatted while eating. However, most of the conversations were related to the upper echelons of the people in charge of the various cities in the country.
Roxanne’s eyes lit up when she heard the contents of their conversation. Her face was filled with yearning.
If she were to be with Jared, she might never be able to come into contact with such big shots in her life.
Roxanne felt that only by interacting with these people could she truly step into the upper class. However, she could not see any future with people like Jared.
This made Roxanne even more determined to break up with him.
At this moment, a young man could not help but ask Leroy, “Mr. Jovi, I heard that a martial arts tournament was held in San Diego some time ago. Your father, Yakov Chakin, Jonathan Steele, Charles Ziegler, and other big shots all attended the tournament. Is that true?”
“I think I’ve heard about this too. It’s said that the boss behind Thomas from Davenport was also present in person. I just don’t know if this news is true!” Harold said expressionlessly.
After hearing this, Leroy nodded his head gently and said with a smile, “Mr. Phillips is quite well-informed…”
“Does that mean Thomas Morgan really has a boss behind him?”
A strange look flashed across Harold’s eyes as he asked that. After all, Thomas was already the richest man in Davenport. For so many years, everyone thought that his businesses were all his own.
They had never thought that Thomas Morgan would have a boss behind him.
So when everyone heard Leroy confirm this matter, a trace of surprise flashed across their eyes.
“The martial arts tournament that you mentioned is actually held every year mainly to solve some business problems in the cities. The big boss of Porthampton is Kyle Hayes, and Thomas himself is not a member of the underground businesses He is a serious businessman, so he went there to watch the show…”
Leroy paused for a moment before continuing, “My father and I went to the martial arts tournament. The boss of the richest man in Davenport, Thomas, also went there…”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
