Tiffany was originally drinking watermelon juice and watching the show. When she heard her father’s words, she could not help but laugh. “Ha-ha… Ahem…” Extreme joy turned into sorrow. She choked on her own saliva as she laughed.

Eric hurriedly took a piece of paper for her and handed it over.

Tiffany calmed down a little. Then, she really greeted Richard obediently. “Hello, Mr. Hampton” She was sweet and

obedient.

Seeing this, Eric also called out

Richard’s face darkened to the extreme. This inexplicably increased his seniority.

Seeing the smile in Tiffany’s eyes and her sly and witty teasing gaze filled with ill intentions, he felt even more depressed.

All the people present were smart and good at observing peoples expressions.

However, looking at Richard’s dark expression, most of them misunderstood. They thought that Tiffany’s impolite laughter had angered Richard.

Hence, all of them looked at her accusingly. Most of them felt that apart from her beautiful appearance, the precious daughter that Charlie had brought along was crude and did not know etiquette!

Someone said. “Charlie, you must bring your daughter back to teach her. She doesn’t behave like a lady at all in such an

“That’s right. She’s too rude. Why is she laughing for no reason? Is it that funny? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Hampton.”

Charlie was such a protective person! He can only tolerate others praising Tiffany. Any slight dissatisfaction, even the tiniest/ bit, cannot be voiced!

To put it nicely, these lectures were because Tiffany was insensible. To put it bluntly, they were scolding Tiffany for being vulgar and ill-mannered!

Charlie’s expression darkened. He was about to retaliate!

But Richard tapped his slender index finger on the table and looked at everyone casually. His thin lips moved slightly, and he said with a faint smile, “Are you even qualified to speak here?” He looked gloomy and aggressive.

Everyone who was babbling just now felt a chill run down their spine. It was so cold that it made one shiver.

Those who understood the situation immediately bent down and smiled awkwardly. “I’m sorry. We spoke without thinking. Oh, Miss Kelley, I’m sorry… After saying that, he even slapped his mouth to express his apology.

Richard’s expression did not change, but he frowned slightly, indicating that his patience had reached its peak.

The assistant standing at the side immediately gestured to these irrelevant people. He had a smile on his face and his tone was firm. “Everyone, please take your seats”

If they didn’t flatter Richard properly, they might end up offending Richard and easily get themselves into trouble. No one dared to say more, and they all dispersed dejectedly.

Conner originally wanted to introduce Mason. If Mason was lucky enough to get to know Richard, it would definitely be of great help to Mason in the future!

However, Richard did not even look at him.

The assistant nodded politely. “Mr. Lee, it’s your banquet. Please entertain the guests. It was an euphemistic way of chasing

Conner away.

Conner did not dare to offend Richard. He could only say a few polite words and leave with his new wife and Mason.

The one who refused to leave was Mia.

It wasn’t easy for her to get close to Richard. Her heart was filled with anticipation. She was looking forward to seeing if Richard especially came to support her because he knew her current situation.

However, when Richard arrived and sat down, he ignored so many people and chose this table because there was Tiffany on

this table.

Coincidentally, the gowns and suits Tiffany and Richard were wearing today were of the same color!

It was a deep blue color, magnanimous and steady. At a glance, they looked compatible and tacit as if they had agreed to wear matching clothes! This undoubtedly stung Mia’s eyes!

She grabbed the skirt of her gown tightly. With unwillingness and weak anticipation, she took a step forward and asked, “Mr. Hampton, you don’t you remember me?” She sounded as if there was some unknown story between them.

Tiffany raised her eyebrows and leisurely prepared to watch the show,

The assistant looked at Mia sympathetically. Why does she have to embarrass herself?

L

As expected, Richard glanced at her coldly. There was no warmth in his deep eyes. “She’s annoyed like a fly!

“Who are you?” Richard’s three words crushed all of Mia’s confidence!

She had always felt that she was the most special one. Even if she had never met him face to face, she had at least met him a few times in public. Shouldn’t he remember her?

However, the truth was that Richard really did not even know her name.

Mia suddenly took a few steps back with tears in her eyes. Her exquisite makeup could not hide her embarrassment, disappointment, and… jealousy,

Tiffany felt a little helpless when she sensed Mia’s resentful gaze. She cursed Richard in her heart, This damn man really knows how to make me hated!’

Mia held back her tears and left.

Charlie and Thalia were still a little confused about what had just happened.

They looked at each other and felt inexplicably pressured and nervous facing Richard, who had a strong temperament and was like a god.

In the entire Lovell City, there was no one who did not bow down to him. He held the lifeline of the global economy and a huge business empire. A word from him could decide a person’s life. Anyone who dared to offend him would not have a good ending!

Charlie was still thinking about what to say to ease the awkward atmosphere. Even if it was an awkward conversation, it was better than keeping quiet and not saying anything.

However, just as he decided what to say, Richard slowly moved the cutlery and said as if they were chatting. “Mr. Kelley, I heard that you are recently discussing a project regarding the renovation of the old alley.

This old alley could be considered a specialty of Lovell City. The entire street was a preserved historical and cultural heritage, but some time ago, there were rumors that it was going to be transformed into a commercial street.

Chapter 125

Charlie was also involved in this bidding project, but his idea was that there were already enough commercial streets, so it was better to transform it into a film studio,

This way

not only could it attract more tourists, but it could also drive the local economy. Why not?

Charlie wanted to compete for this project, but the proposal was not favored by the bidders.

From the looks of it, the possibility of winning this project was very small…

Now that it was mentioned by Richard. Charlie did not hide it and openly admitted, “Yes”

As soon as b

as he finished speaking, the assistant standing beside him took out a contract and placed it in front of him.

“This is… Charlie looked down and was instantly shocked.

In front of him was the old alley modification contract, and it was fully handed over to the Kelley Group! This meant that he could do whatever he wanted, even dismantling it!

Richard slowly picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth before saying, “Coincidentally, I have the same thoughts as you. It’s very suitable for me to hand this project to you.”

Charlie was in a daze and blurted out, “But I remember that this is a bidding project. This…”

“Oh, now it’s mine,” said Richard. ‘How troublesome is the bidding? Wouldn’t it be better to buy it directly?”

Charlie was dumbfounded by such an understatement.

That was a priceless ancient building! Even large families with strong financial resources and powerful backgrounds did not dare to say such words easily!

However, Richard seemed to be discussing whether a dish was delicious or not!

Although Charlie had been in the business world for so many years, he was still shocked by how generous Richard was.

At this point, what’s there to be pretentious about? Hence, he agreed and nodded repeatedly. “It’s rare to have a chance to work with you. I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration in the future.”

Richard smiled slightly, and his cold face softened a little. “You’re an elder. In terms of age, I’m not much older than your daughter, so….

He changed the topic and looked at Tiffany with a faint smile. “He good and call me by my

name.
