Chapter 398
"Okay." Constance replied.
After Holly walked towards the subway station, Felix approached Constance and said in a low voice, "Stay away from that woman in the future."
Constance gave him a puzzled look. "Mr. Clinton, who I associate with is none of your business."
Felix said, "I'm saying this for your own good. That woman has bad intentions."
"You've only met her twice, and you already know she has bad intentions?" Constance's expression was mocking, and her tone was cold.
Seeing that she wasn't listening, Felix didn't continue the topic. "Let's go back."
Constance didn't even look at him, turned around, and got into the car.
After dinner, Felix went to the study to handle some work.
Around eight o'clock, James called. "Mr. Clinton, we still haven't figured out the identity of the president of Vertex Holdings Group."
In recent years, Vertex Holdings Group had suddenly emerged in Thundertop, with industries involving real estate, hotels, tourism, finance, and other sectors, developing rapidly. Even though the major families in Thundertop had tried to block Vertex Holdings Group's development, they had not succeeded.
Naturally, many people were curious about the identity of the president of Vertex Holdings Group.
Felix frowned. The Clinton Group's intelligence network spanned the globe. If even the Clinton Group couldn't find out, it meant the person behind Vertex Holdings Group was very low-key and careful.
Felix said, "Stop investigating. We'll know who it is tomorrow night."
"Understood." James replied.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next evening. Felix picked up Constance and went to choose a dress and get styled, which took over two hours.
"Mr. Clinton, it's done."
Felix was sitting in the lounge area reading a magazine. When he heard this, he looked up and was stunned by the sight of Constance walking towards him.
Constance was wearing a red gown that accentuated her curvaceous figure. Her long hair was pinned up, revealing a slender and graceful neck. Her face had just a touch of makeup, yet she looked stunningly beautiful, unconsciously drawing everyone's attention.
Standing in front of him, Constance said, "Let's go."
"Okay."
In the most luxurious hotel in Thundertop, in the presidential suite on the top floor.
Bella was sitting on the sofa, with two stylists and several makeup artists busy in front of her. She leaned back comfortably on the sofa, eyes closed, letting them do their work.
At her feet, two servants were kneeling, massaging her calves.
In the study on the other side, Thomas was sitting behind the desk, talking on the phone.
Thomas said, "Rest assured, I will kill Constance and retrieve the Clinton family key."
The person on the other end chuckled, and a cold male voice came through, "Vulture, I'm giving you this one chance. Don't disappoint me."
"I understand." Thomas replied.
After hanging up, Thomas's expression gradually turned cold.
If he hadn't taken that order back then, he wouldn't have crossed paths with Scorpio, nor would he have obtained Vertex Holdings Group, allowing him to crazily seek revenge on Felix and Constance.
Half a month ago, he was rescued by Scorpio's people. They promised to make him the president of Vertex Holdings Group on the condition that he killed Constance and retrieved the Clinton family key.
Thomas agreed because it was a huge temptation for him.
Scorpio promised that if he completed the task, Vertex Holdings Group would be his.
Not only could he get his revenge, but he could also become a socialite in Thundertop. It was a deal he couldn't refuse.
He got up and walked to the window, looking down at the bustling streets below, a cold smile slowly forming on his lips.
At six o'clock in the evening, the banquet started on time.
After the host's opening remarks, he finally got to the main event. "Now, let's welcome the president of Vertex Holdings Group to the stage for a self-introduction!"
The lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed, and the next second, a spotlight shone on a corner where a man in a white suit and mask slowly walked out.
As he moved, the light followed his steps until he stood on the stage.
Thomas said, "Hello everyone, I am the president of Vertex Holdings Group, Thomas."
For most people present, this was the first time hearing this name, but Felix's expression changed.
Felix thought, 'It's Thomas? He has been locked up in Dawnridge and has only escaped half a month ago. There is no way he could have founded Vertex Holdings Group. If I can find out who founded Vertex Holdings Group, I can catch the person behind him.'
Thinking of this, his gaze turned icy.
Thomas said, "Thank you all for coming to this banquet. If there's anything we missed, we apologize. Now, enjoy the evening!"
As he finished speaking, the lights in the banquet hall came back on.
After stepping down from the stage, Thomas mingled with the crowd, accompanied by Bella.
Soon, some guests noticed that Bella and Constance looked almost identical, but Bella's expression was somewhat stiff, lacking Constance's natural grace.
However, most of the guests at the banquet were eager to curry favor with Thomas, so they naturally spoke in favor of Bella.
"Miss Redstone, you look a lot like Miss Drake, but you're much prettier than her!"
"Exactly, Constance wearing a red dress to the banquet is ridiculous. People might think it's her wedding! Stealing the spotlight!"
"Don't say that. If the Drake family hears it, they'll be offended."
"Miss Redstone's boyfriend is the president of Vertex Holdings Group. Why would she be afraid of Constance?"
Bella smiled without saying a word, but she was extremely pleased inside.
A few days ago, Felix had kicked her out of the villa. Now, she became the person all the socialites in Thundertop wanted to befriend.
After everyone had mocked Constance enough, Bella finally said with a smile, "Actually, I knew her before. We used to look quite similar, but she thought I was prettier, so she had multiple surgeries to look more like me. There's nothing I can do about it."
This statement brought another round of flattery, greatly satisfying Bella's vanity.
She looked at Constance with disdain. She thought from now on, Constance would not be in the same league as her. Dealing with her would be a piece of cake.
On the other side, Thomas walked up to Felix and said with a smile, "Felix, you never thought this day would come, did you?"
Felix's expression was cold. "Thomas, I will find out who is behind you."
Thomas showed no fear, raising an eyebrow at him. "Go ahead, but in the end, you'll only become my beaten rival, and the Clinton Group will be mine."
Felix said coldly, "You can try!"
The two stared at each other coldly, their eyes filled with hatred, and the air seemed to crackle with tension.
"Gentlemen, could you give me the honor of sharing a drink?" The speaker, Benjamin Gonzalez, was a restaurant company owner, known for his smooth dealings in the business world.
Thomas smiled. "Of course, Mr. Gonzalez!"
He then waved to a waiter, who immediately brought over a few glasses of wine.
Benjamin's face changed slightly, and he looked cautiously at Felix.
There was a rumor in the industry that Felix never drank wine. A previous business partner had insisted he drink, and the next day that partner went bankrupt and was never seen again.
Did Thomas not know, or was he doing it on purpose?
