Chapter 316 Mr. Smith!
On the other side, inside the restaurant.
After Conrad had settled Willie and the others, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Conrad's feelings were very complicated. On one hand, he was happy because having so many big shots gather at his birthday banquet naturally made him very pleased.
But on the other hand, he was puzzled. He wondered what kind of relationship James had with these people, why Willie respected James so much, and the gifts they brought were all incredibly valuable!
Conrad felt that today's events were too bizarre. If it weren't for what Elmer had said, Conrad would never have believed that these people came because of James.
However, the biggest beneficiaries today were not Conrad, but Laura's parents, Joe and Isolde!
All the big shots present knew about Laura's relationship with James, and Joe was James's future father-in-law, so they naturally took this opportunity to curry favor with him.
So Joe was extremely busy, chatting with those wealthy businessmen and big shots.
Zachariah, Thalia, and others were envious. They had privately mocked Joe and Isolde before, but now they realized how ridiculous they had been.
No one had expected that James, who looked like an ordinary guy, could have such great influence!
Thalassa's expression was very unpleasant. She stared blankly, unable to accept that these big shots came because of James!
Conrad finally found a moment to spare and quickly walked over to Joe, speaking softly to him, "Joe, why haven't James and Laura come back yet? Call them and hurry them up!"
"Dad, I just called Laura. She said they are on their way back now!" Joe glanced at his phone and replied helplessly.
If Conrad hadn't driven James away earlier, how could there be so many issues now?
Conrad had completely changed his attitude towards James, becoming much kinder.
So when he heard Joe's words, he just sighed lightly.
He couldn't say much more, so he turned and walked to the restaurant entrance, eagerly watching the street, waiting for James and Laura to return!
After about five minutes, a Mercedes-Benz slowly stopped at the restaurant entrance, and James and Laura got out of the car.
When Conrad saw them, he quickly ran to the car, excitedly shouting, "James, Laura, you're finally back! Hurry inside, everyone is waiting for you!"
Laura was puzzled by Conrad's words and asked, "Conrad, what's going on?"
"It's hard to explain now, just hurry inside!" Conrad spoke while pulling James and Laura towards the restaurant.
Laura was very confused, unable to understand why Conrad was so excited and why his attitude towards James had changed so drastically.
Even if Conrad had wronged James before, it shouldn't be like this, right?
James felt helpless because he had a vague idea of what had happened inside, but he could only follow Laura into the restaurant.
When James entered the restaurant, Joe immediately saw him and shouted, "Everyone, James is back!"
All the bosses, including Willie, turned to James.
"It's really Mr. Smith!" Elmer exclaimed excitedly, then quickly walked to James, bowed deeply, and loudly greeted, "Greetings, Mr. Smith!"
All the bosses in the restaurant stood up, bowed to James in unison, and loudly greeted, "Greetings, Mr. Smith!"
In an instant, the entire restaurant fell into a dead silence.
The scene was too shocking, and everyone stared at James with wide eyes, their faces full of astonishment!
James himself looked helpless.
This was Willowbrook, not Lumina City, so many people present didn't recognize these bosses, except for Elmer and Willie.
But they could tell from their behavior that these people were definitely not ordinary!
Today, The Hall Family had made a big splash. All the famous and wealthy people in Riversong Province had gathered here to celebrate Conrad's birthday.
Originally, The Hall Family was just a second-rate family in Riversong Province, but after today, they could definitely be considered a first-rate family, comparable to the Hays Family. The terrifying network of connections alone was unmatched by the Hays Family.
Countless astonished eyes turned to James at the entrance.
Standing beside James, Laura felt a mix of emotions, finding it all too unbelievable!
Although Laura knew James knew Charles, and some people might try to curry favor with James to get to Charles, she couldn't understand why so many people were trying to curry favor with James!
When did James have such influence?
James himself was thinking about how to explain this to Laura; he had never expected today's scene!
Rufus, Dorian, Zachariah, and others were all shocked, staring at James in disbelief.
They finally understood why James dared to offend Irvin last night and why he was so arrogant in The Hall Family!
James was arrogant because he had the right to be.
Joe and Isolde had suffered humiliation because of James these past few days, but at this moment, they felt vindicated.
Especially Isolde, who no longer looked at James with disdain.
