Chapter 096 Suppression

After about twenty minutes, Nick, Woody, and Vince returned to their seats at the table.

"I didn't expect the groom to invite Alfred. Alfred is worth nearly two billion dollars. His presence at this wedding is absolutely impressive!" Nick said.

Woody nodded and said, "Yes, Alfred is definitely the most distinguished person here today!"

"It's a pity that we don't have the qualifications to get to know him," Vince said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet. The wedding is about to begin. Let's give them a round of applause as the bride and groom take the stage hand in hand." the presenter said, holding a microphone. His voice echoed throughout the venue.

Upon hearing these words, Nick, who had intended to continue mocking Eric, stopped.

At this time, the groom and Madelyn slowly walked onto the stage, and the wedding began.

Eric wasn't interested in weddings like this.

It was Nick and his two companions at the table who were quietly discussing.

"Madelyn is somewhat attractive. I didn't expect her to marry an older man who is so ugly."

"Of course, it's because of money. The fact that she can marry a boss can be considered her ability."

"Let's keep these words to ourselves. Don't let Madelyn and her husband hear them."

After a few ceremonies.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today our groom has invited a big shot, and I'm sure you all know who he is. This big shot is Alfred. Let's welcome Alfred, our special guest, to the stage to congratulate the bride and groom. Please give him a round of applause," the presenter's tone was impassioned.

The whole venue erupted in enthusiastic applause.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked up to the stage and received the microphone with a smile on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I want to congratulate..."

As Alfred spoke, he scanned the audience below the stage. Suddenly, he stuttered and the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a hollow expression.

Upon hearing this, Alfred's expression showed shock.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Yeah, what's going on exactly?" others joined in, all looking at Alfred with puzzled expressions.

Even the bride and groom, Madelyn, stared at Alfred with confusion.

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Alfred dropped the microphone and quickly ran towards the audience.

"What's happening? Alfred is not continuing his speech," someone wondered aloud.

Everyone kept their eyes fixed on Alfred, eager to know what kind of situation could make him abandon the microphone halfway through his speech and run towards the audience.

The groom and bride, Madelyn, felt embarrassed, yet they dared not say anything and simply stared at Alfred, trying to figure out his intentions.

At Eric's table, the ex-boyfriends murmured.

"What's wrong with Alfred?" asked a perplexed Nick, Vince, and Woody as they stared at Alfred.

"By the looks of it, he... he seems to be coming towards our table!" Woody exclaimed in surprise.

"Impossible! Why would he come to our table?" Nick shook his head.

But before they could finish their conversation, Alfred was already approaching their table at a fast pace.

Amidst the astonishment and bewilderment of everyone present, Alfred stood before Eric.

"Mr. Phillips, hello!" Alfred respectfully bowed to Eric.

Nick, Woody, and Vince, sitting at the same table, were dumbfounded by this sight.

What was going on? Alfred just paid his respects to this jerk?

Even the groom and bride, Madelyn, standing on the stage, widened their eyes and looked shocked and incredulous.

In an instant, the whole venue erupted.

"Oh my goodness, who is this person that made Alfred bow to him personally!"

"Can someone tell me who this important figure is!"

No one could fathom what kind of powerful background this person must have in order to make Alfred abandon the microphone and bow to him.

At the same time, everyone was eager to know the identity of this seemingly ordinary young man.

"Mr. Phillips, I didn't see you earlier, so I didn't come to greet you. Please don't be offended," Alfred said with utmost respect.

"No worries," Eric replied nonchalantly.

At that moment, the groom and bride had already rushed over from the stage.

"What... what is going on, Alfred?" the groom asked.

"You are quite impressive, being able to invite the Chairman of the Power Group. You should have told me earlier, I almost lost my manners," Alfred stared at the groom.

"What? The Chairman of the Power Group?!" Madelyn was shocked and immediately asked, her voice turning sharp.

"How could you invite Mr. Phillips? Don't you know who he is?" Alfred replied.

As soon as Alfred said this, Madelyn felt a sudden explosion in her mind, as if it had been blown open.

Oh my goodness, her first love Eric was actually the chairman of the Power Group's New York branch?

To her, this was such an impressive presence!

When the groom heard Alfred's words, his face turned ashen instantly, and he took a few steps back as if struck by a heavy blow!

Wasn't he just mocking Eric at the door earlier?

And Woody and Vince, who were sitting at the same table as Eric, had their eyes widening and their hearts churning with waves of astonishment upon hearing Alfred reveal Eric's identity.

The person who had always sat with them at the table, someone they had treated as a joke, someone they had ignored, turned out to be the chairman of the Power Group.

As they thought of this, their hearts trembled.

The most unpleasant expression at the table belonged to Nick.

Nick, with a pale face, stared straight at Eric, wearing a puzzled expression that couldn't grasp the situation.

At that moment, Nick suddenly remembered that the new chairman of the Power Group seemed to be called Eric, and he had heard that he was very young. Because he worked at a construction site, he hadn't met the chairman.

When Nick saw Eric today, it never occurred to him. He just thought that it was a coincidence of the same name and surname.

The whole room exploded at this point.

"This person is indeed much more powerful than Alfred!"

"I never expected the chairman of the Power Group to be here."

"And did you notice that the table where the chairman of the Power Group is seated is the ex-boyfriend's table, meaning he was the bride's ex-boyfriend?"

Every corner of the venue was abuzz with conversation.

After witnessing the shocked reactions of the groom, bride, and others, Alfred was puzzled.

"I came here as Madelyn's ex-boyfriend. They didn't know my identity, so it's not surprising," Eric said calmly.

"I see," Alfred suddenly realized and nodded.

Then, Alfred continued, "Mr. Phillips is also Sean's grandson!"

"What?"

"Sean's grandson?!"

When the guests heard this news, they couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Who among them didn't know Sean's name? Who didn't know how powerful Sean was?

Sean's grandson, with such a background, was simply incredible!

In their eyes, he was undoubtedly a super important figure.

Upon hearing this, both Madelyn and the groom turned pale and staggered backwards. Luckily, they were quickly supported by the bridesmaid and groomsman, preventing them from fainting on the ground.

Nick, on the other hand, had a face filled with despair.

At that moment, Eric stood up.

As Eric stood up, and the entire scene of the wedding banquet fell into a deathly silence, without a single sound.

This was the intimidating presence brought about by Eric's background!

Who would dare to offend Eric at a time like this?

Absolutely no one!
