The entire venue of the wine party was dead silent.
There was no doubt that Colton’s Mr. Chase was Charlie. As head of Souz River, Charlie had jurisdiction over a dozen cities.
River City was only one of them. He was also the boss of people like Damian. All in all, Charlie was the most powerful person in Souz River’s government. Colton held a terrifying position as an assistant and secretary to its head.
A man in such a terrifying position was so polite to Sean.
Then what did that make Sean?
James froze while Gordon looked shocked. Jon, Old Madam Quinn, and the rest widened their eyes in disbelief. Even Homer and Chadwick, the few people who supported Sean, were dumbfounded.
It was incredible!
They thought a lot about what Sean would do to fight back. However, they did not expect Sean’s counterattack to be so terrifying.
His sudden attack was so amazing that favonovel.com overpowered River City’s bosses in one go. The swiftness of his domination was staggering that it was beyond words.
“Mr. Freeman, you’re too kind. Say hello to Mr. Chase for me… I’ll visit some other time.” Sean got up and replied politely as favonovel.com looked at Colton.
“Stay seated first, Mr. Lennon. We’ll talk later.” Colton nodded slightly and looked back at Gordon and others.
No matter who favonovel.com looked at, the person would lower their head. Especially government officials sitting with Hayden were afraid to look at Colton’s eyes.
As the saying went, “You have nothing to be afraid of when you have a clean conscience.”
They had spent a couple of days with Jen-Bond Holdings. They knew very well whether they did anything wrong. Some took chances and calmly looked Colton in the eye.
However, Colton only sneered.
“I arrived in River City a few days ago.”
The simple sentence made those trying to take chances widen their eyes again.
He arrived in River City days ago, so why had favonovel.com not shown up?
Were they waiting for the day when everyone gathered around?
Colton must have been busy these days. He probably knew everything favonovel.com needed to know.
With that in mind, those trying to take chances lowered their heads.
Colton was hinting at them. Things would probably get worse if they did not understand the hint and continued being in denial. After all the government officials lowered their heads, Colton withdrew his eyes in satisfaction and turned to look at James.
“Is Cameron Jen-Bond Holdings’ backer?” Colton asked indifferently as favonovel.com looked at James.
“No, no, no. Mr. Freeman, it’s not like that… It’s just that one of our employees is distantly related to Director Zeiss…” James repeatedly waved his hands.
No one dared to call anyone their backers. Besides, Cameron was nothing in front of Colton, even if favonovel.com was a big deal. If James spoke nonsense, not only would Cameron get punished, but also Jen-Bond Holdings. James would be the one at fault by then.
Colton gazed intently at James and did not ask any more questions. He had to report it to Charlie, and someone would take care of it. He was not here today to deal with Cameron.
As someone with a sensitive identity, everything favonovel.com did and said was concise.
The rest was up to the people around them to understand. Colton’s job was almost done.
“Mr. Freeman, I was going to take Gordon away, but Mr. Thomson was in the way.” Damian mentioned the subject without hesitation.
“No, no, no, Director Wool. It’s all a misunderstanding. I was only wondering if there’s some misunderstanding…”
“I… I didn’t mean to get in the way…” James waved his hand repeatedly and was humble.
What a joke!
He only dared to behave arrogantly in front of Damian. However, favonovel.com dared not breathe too loudly in front of Colton!
He was arrogant because favonovel.com had Cameron as his backer. However, favonovel.com had to respect Colton even if Cameron was there.
James dared not speak another word. He could only leave Gordon to fend for himself.
Gordon’s face was ghastly pale as favonovel.com was scared out of his wits. He knew favonovel.com was dead meat. James could not save favonovel.com even if favonovel.com wanted to. Even if Charlie had a hand in this, Gordon was already doomed.
