Chapter 312 He Must Be Real!

At this moment, a large group of people grandly walked into the restaurant.

Leading the group was a middle-aged man in a black suit, looking scholarly and amiable, wearing black-framed glasses, and appearing particularly spirited.

This man was none other than Elmer, the renowned head of the Hays Family in Willowbrook.

Standing beside the middle-aged man was Irvin, the eldest son of the Hays Family, who had previously met James at the ArtScape Center.

Irvin's expression was very unpleasant at this moment!

"Elmer, you finally made it!" Conrad was significantly older than Elmer.

"Conrad, today is your 80th birthday; of course, I had to come to celebrate with you!" Elmer responded politely.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Conrad's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, and he quickly clasped his hands in gratitude.

Elmer then turned to his driver, who, upon seeing Elmer's signal, hurriedly presented the prepared gift to Conrad.

Conrad took the gift and examined it carefully, discovering it was a finely carved jade piece worth at least a million dollars.

Conrad, clearly overjoyed, exclaimed excitedly at Elmer, "Elmer, isn't this a bit too generous? You even brought me such an expensive gift?"

A million-dollar gift was already considered a grand gesture for Conrad, especially since it came from Elmer, making him feel even more honored.

"Conrad, we've been friends for a long time; there's no need for such formality between us, " Elmer replied casually.

Not far away, Willie and the others were all dumbfounded, finding the whole situation unbelievable.

They knew that the gifts given to Conrad by others amounted to at least several million dollars, with the most expensive one being around five million dollars, and even the cheaper ones were around a million dollars. Yet, Conrad didn't even glance at them and tossed them aside.

But now, Elmer had only given a jade piece worth a little over a million dollars, and Conrad was smiling like this.

The big shots present were now starting to wonder if there was something wrong with Conrad's mind!

"Elmer, please come inside!" Conrad personally led Elmer into the restaurant.

"Conrad, do you know where Mr. Smith is?" Elmer hesitated for a moment, then asked Conrad nervously.

"Mr. Smith?" Conrad was stunned upon hearing this.

"Yes, Mr. James Smith, your granddaughter Laura's fiancé!" Elmer repeated softly.

Elmer was one of James's subordinates and had met James once at the Fairy Lake Resort. So, when he heard last night that Irvin had offended someone named James at the ArtScape Center, he suspected that the James his son encountered might be his boss!

Elmer came today ostensibly to celebrate Conrad's birthday but actually to confirm James's identity.

If this James was indeed his boss, he planned to have Irvin apologize in front of everyone. That's why he brought Irvin along today.

If not, then things would be much simpler.

Conrad, hearing Elmer's words, couldn't help but tremble. He thought Elmer was here to hold James accountable, as James had previously offended Irvin.

Although James's behavior today was disappointing, Conrad still wanted to help James.

So, after hesitating for a moment, he said softly, "Elmer, James and Laura just left the restaurant not long ago. I know there are some misunderstandings between James and your son. When James returns, I'll have him apologize personally. Now, with so many guests watching, could you give me some face and deal with the kids' issues later?"

Elmer was momentarily stunned by these words, then nodded slightly without saying much.

From Conrad's tone, Elmer sensed that the James from the Hall Family was not the same as his boss James. Otherwise, Conrad wouldn't have spoken like that, so he had nothing to worry about now.

Elmer followed Conrad into the restaurant hall.

Upon entering the hall, Elmer was immediately startled by the bustling crowd, as he hadn't expected Conrad to invite so many people.

But when he saw Willie standing at the door, Elmer's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Mr. Reed, what are you doing here?" Elmer asked in a tone of extreme confusion.

Although the people of Willowbrook didn't know Willie, Elmer had seen Willie in person.

Moreover, the Hays Family's success was largely due to Willie's help.

Every holiday, Elmer would personally go to Willie's villa to pay his respects, showing the close relationship between Elmer and Willie.

Elmer never dreamed that Willie would also attend Conrad's birthday banquet.

'Could it be that Conrad also knows someone as important as Willie?' Elmer couldn't help but wonder to himself, then quickly ran to Willie and respectfully said, "Mr. Reed, what brings you here?"

"I heard today is the birthday of Mr. Smith's fiancée's grandfather, so I came with a gift to celebrate, but I haven't seen Mr. Smith yet," Willie replied expressionlessly, not showing much warmth towards Elmer.

However, after Willie finished speaking, the entire restaurant hall fell into a dead silence, with even the sound of breathing clearly audible!

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Willie and Elmer, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Especially the Hall Family members, who were completely dumbfounded!

Conrad stood there in a daze, unable to comprehend what was happening.

They didn't know Willie and had previously thought he was an actor hired by James.

But even if James had hired an actor, he couldn't have hired Elmer too, right?

How could someone like Elmer act for James?

Moreover, everyone saw clearly how Elmer spoke to Willie, which indirectly proved that Willie was not an actor but the real deal!
