Chapter 197 The Whole Audience Pays Respects to Mr. Jones!
No way.
He was a complete loser!
Isaac shook his head, dismissing the unrealistic thought.
Then, he rushed out to explain to Mary.
At the entrance, William noticed Isaac hurrying over, feeling a bit suspicious. Isaac was here too.
Isaac was also taken aback by William's sudden appearance. He was filled with rage. Without William, he and Mary would be happily together.
He angrily grabbed William by the collar and shouted, "William, what are you doing here?"
Why?
Tonight's banquet was prepared for Mr. Jones, and he appeared here.
Impossible!
William yanked Isaac's arm away, patted his collar, and coldly smiled. "Why I'm here, you'll find out soon. Just make sure you don't leave."
"Idiot!" Isaac cursed, not bothering with him, and ran off.
"I'm going to the restroom." William looked in the direction where Isaac disappeared and said indifferently. Actually, he wanted to find Mary because he had just caught a glimpse of her, who seemed a bit unhappy.
The banquet was just beginning.
Those well-known entrepreneurs from Lindwood City arrived one after another. Soon, the place was filled with distinguished guests.
A group of entrepreneurs took their seats while many people had no seats and could only stand to the side.
Everyone present were all prominent figures in Lindwood City, and those who seated were naturally the leading figures among the city's many entrepreneurs.
However, these dignitaries were all looking forward to meeting main character of tonight's event, the legendary Mr. Jones.
"The banquet is about to start. Have you seen Mr. Jones?"
"No, they said he'd be here, but we haven't seen him yet."
"He's really mysterious, making such a big deal just for Mr. Jones."
Many people began to whisper and looking around, hoping to catch a glimpse of the legendary Mr. Jones.
Soon, Mr. Jones's name spread among the entrepreneurs and celebrities.
Not only were those dignitaries eagerly waiting, but also some young heiresses were dreaming that Mr. Jones was a prince charming.
They had been waiting for this day.
After all, this was someone who could invest a billion dollars at once.
Just as everyone was eagerly waiting, the host of the banquet, Dylan, walked in from a side hall. He was the chairman of the Jones Group, followed by a group of chairmen, all from Fortune 500 pharmaceutical companies that were under the Jones Group.
The entrepreneurs in the hall stood up to greet him. "Mr. Brooks."
"Hello, everyone. Please, take your seat." Dylan, being from the Jones Group, exuded an aura of elegance and approachability.
At this moment, William happened to walk in from outside, looking a bit downcast as he hadn't found Mary.
Coincidentally, Terry also walked in from the entrance, and the two bumped into each other.
"Move!" Terry, in a bad mood, looked at William in front of him with disgust.
Earlier, Mary had left in a huff, and he chased after her. After dealing with Isaac, he returned to the hall.
Unexpectedly, besides William, Isaac also showed up.
Isaac was the young heir of the Hayes Group, and Terry knew he couldn't handle him.
"Where's Mary?" William asked with a grim expression.
"I mean, seriously, William, how should I know where your wife is? Can't you find her yourself?" Terry snapped. "Look at yourself, get lost!"
At this moment, Anna walked over and said, "Terry, the banquet is about to start. Why are you still here?"
"The idiot came in," Terry said with disdain.
"William? You actually came in." Anna said, then glanced at him with disdain, "Impressive, got some guts, huh? Are you here to pick up trash and clean? That outfit you're wearing is a waste."
"None of your business," William said coldly.
"I'm talking to you, what with the attitude. Idiot!" Anna cursed.
'What are you pretending for? Do you really think I want to talk to you, loser!' she thought.
"Forget it, Anna. Don't talk to him. Let's go," Terry said.
"You're right. Talking to him makes the air stink." Anna waved her hand and frowned.
"Anna, you're here too. What a coincidence!" someone said.
At this moment, a few young men and women ran over. They were friends of Anna and Terry, also attending the banquet with their parents.
"Are they your friends?" one of the girls asked in confusion.
"No, he's William," Anna pointed out, her tone full of disdain.
"Isn't he the guy who lives off others?" someone exclaimed.
Anna raised her chin proudly and said, "That's him, a complete loser. He could never attend a banquet like this in his life. I don't know how he got in. I really want to call security to kick him out. It's just disgusting."
William's face turned cold. What did Anna mean? Had he offended her?
'Do they really think I'm easy to bully?' William thought.
Genesis's face also darkened. Today, she really learned a lot that women around William were the same, as they all looked down on people.
For a moment, those young men and women looked at William with disdain.
At this moment, Elbert stepped forward, waving his hand impatiently. He said, "Have you seen enough? Go stand aside."
"If you're afraid of losing face, then why don't you hurry up and leave?" Anna said with her arms crossed, assuming the high-and-mighty posture of a mistress
"Shut up! Anna, you are so annoying. I'll stay here if I want. What's it to you," William retorted, clearly angry.
"Hmph! Idiot!" Anna snorted coldly, and added, "You've never seen the world. Stay if you want, and see the gap between us."
"Let's go!" Anna turned, swaying her hips.
The scene was witnessed by Lori, Stanley, and others nearby.
"Stanley, William is such a wimp. He gets takes being insultedwithout fighting back," Lori mocked.
Stanley shook his head with a cold smile, feeling very disappointed in William.
While the argument continued here, over the entrepreneurs from Lindwood City and Dylan greeted each other and took their seats.
Dylan noticed a group of people gathered at the entrance and immediately spotted William.
William had arrived at here.
He couldn't care about being impolite and excitedly said to those around him, "Everyone, Mr. Jones is here."
"Where?" the crowd exclaimed.
Dylan's eyes sparkled with excitement as he stood up and led the group towards the entrance.
The surrounding entrepreneurs from Lindwood City, upon seeing Dylan and other big shots getting up and heading towards the entrance, knew someone shown up.
"It must be Mr. Jones."
"Let's go, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
The entrepreneurs, each more astute than the next, understood that the distinguished guest who could make Dylan get up to greet must be extraordinary and it could only be Mr. Jones.
Kyle was also a canny person, so he followed closely behind Dylan the moment he stood up.
The group of people followed Dylan towards the entrance.
However, apart from a few young people gathered at the entrance, there was no sign of Mr. Jones.
Could he not have arrived yet?
"Hey, clear out, Mr. Jones is about to arrive," someone pointed at Terry, William, and the others and shouted.
These young people, if they blocked Mr. Jones's way, their parents would be in trouble too.
The young people turned around and were all stunned.
A hall full of entrepreneurs was pouring out towards them, and they saw their parents in the crowd.
"Move aside, Mr. Jones is about to arrive. Don't block the way," some well-dressed women shouted at their children from afar.
Terry turned around and was startled. The commotion meant Mr. Jones was coming.
He glared at William and warned, "I'll settle the score with you later."
William smirked coldly.
Upon seeing that he had no intention of moving, Terry laughed, "William, why are you still standing here? Can't you see all these famous entrepreneurs are ready to greet Mr. Jones?"
"I know," William said calmly.
"If you know, why don't you get lost." Terry sneered.
Anna had already stepped aside and said to her friends, "Did you see that? He's a loser, standing there like an idiot blocking the way. Let's see how he gets kicked out."
"Anna, is that idiot really your cousin-in-law?"
"Yeah, it's unbelievable, standing there like a fool."
"Exactly, this disgusting idiot managed to sneak in," Anna cursed, belittling William.
"William, aren't you going to move? Don't block Mr. Jones's way. I'm dying to see him," Lori shouted at William from the crowd, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
While everyone was mocking William, she definitely piled on the insult.
Terry also laughed, "William, if you want to have a look, move aside. Seeing Mr. Jones is a privilege for you."
"Who is that man? Move out of the way."
"Move aside, Mr. Jones is about to arrive."
Someone in the crowd complained, because William was blocking the entrance.
William said nothing, just calmly looked at Terry and the others as they mocked him.
Meanwhile, in the lounge, Mary had received a notification from the waiter that Mr. Jones had arrived.
She touched up her makeup and sent a text to William:[ Honey, come pick me up later. I'm almost done here, and we'll soon meet Mr. Jones.]
After sending the message, Mary stood up, adjusted her black evening gown, and walked towards the hall.
As Mary entered the hall, she saw Dylan leading a group of people towards the entrance.
She knew that Mr. Jones had arrived.
Taking a deep breath, Mary puffed her cheeks, patted her chest, and clenched her fists, silently cheering herself on, "You've got this, Mary!"
She had to thank Mr. Jones properly because he had helped her twice already.
Mary was really curious. did she know Mr. Jones?
Otherwise, why would he help her?
Then, Mary let go of her gown, walked gracefully, and followed the crowd towards the entrance.
At this moment, Dylan and the others had already reached William and respectfully said, "Mr. Jones."
