Chapter 150 The Whole Audience is Shocked
'I want to get to know Mr. Smoke better through Gordon.
'This Mr. Smoke is quite extraordinary.
'Not only is he young, but he is also incredibly generous, spending nearly $200 million in cash in less than half a month.
'The Sullivan Family is wealthy too, but asking me to come up with $200 million in cash all at once could potentially break the Sullivan Group's finances.
'Therefore, my evaluation of Mr. Smoke has risen to my level or even higher.
'And now, someone has offended Mr. Smoke!
'And that person is Alfonso?' Tony thought furiously.
"Let's go! Let's see what that useless fool is up to!" Tony acted swiftly, walking out of the meeting room with Gordon to the hotel lobby.
The atmosphere at the scene was becoming increasingly awkward.
Without caring about the looks from others, Charles nonchalantly brushed off Alfonso's hand from his shoulders and said, "Take your hand off me. You don't have the right to lecture me. Not you, not even your brother!"
Charles's gaze was cold and his words were filled with arrogance and provocation, shocking everyone with his audacity.
'You, a broke student, a part-time security guard?
'How inflated and arrogant can you be?
'It's one thing not to show respect to Mr. Sullivan, but to disregard the CEO of the Sullivan Group, one of Syeattel's top ten young entrepreneurs?' Alfonso thought.
"Charles, I admire your courage. Many in Syeattel don't take me seriously, but you're the first to disregard my brother!" Alfonso mocked without restraint.
Since the masks were off, Alfonso no longer needed to pretend to be respectful, and was ready to humiliate Charles today.
Snow stood aside, watching coldly and even feeling a slight sense of satisfaction.
Although she didn't like Alfonso either, Alfonso seemed better than Charles.
At least the former didn't take kindness as an insult.
'I helped him, but he still resents me.
'A man like that is terrible, and is not a gentleman at all!' she thought.
"Look, isn't that Mr. Sullivan? And Mr. Cunningham is with him too!"
"Didn't he just boast that he wouldn't even take Mr. Sullivan seriously? Now that he's here, let's see if he'll dare to keep bragging!"
"It really is Mr. Sullivan. He's so handsome and charismatic. I heard he's just turned thirty this year, he's still unmarried, and he's manages the Sullivan Group with a market value of billions. He's a true top achiever. I really like him!"
"Stop having girlish fantasies. A man like that would never look at you!"
"He's here, he's really here!"
At this moment, the hearts of all the socialites skipped a beat.
Many elite individuals flocked over to Tony like moths to a flame, respectfully handing out their business cards and greeting him. "Hello, Mr. Sullivan!"
But Tony walked toward Alfonso without stopping, his face as dark as coal .
"Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Cunningham?"
"Why does Mr. Sullivan look so angry? Should we call security to throw that guy out? He's completely offended Alfonso!"
"Alright! Security, get over here now! Someone's causing trouble!" a hotel manager shouted into his walkie-talkie.
"This guy is done for. He's completely finished!"
Tony walked over to Alfonso and Charles with a grim expression on his face.
"Bro, why are you here? I could have handled this little thing!" Alfonso said.
Tony backhanded a loud slap across Alfonso's handsome face, leaving him stunned.
"Bro, what are you doing? Why did you hit me?" Alfonso clutched his left cheek.
"Why did I hit you? Do you even know what stupid things you've done? Apologize to Mr. Smoke immediately!" Tony said as he gave a signal, pointing at Charles.
When Tony saw Charles for the first time, he had been a bit shocked by his youth, which made him seem even more intimidating.
"Mr. Smoke, I'm sorry. My brother offended you earlier. I apologize on his behalf!" Tony personally apologized.
As soon as he said that, the whole place fell silent.
"Oh my God, what is Mr. Sullivan doing?"
"Mr. Smoke? He's Mr. Smoke?"
Alfonso's mouth hung open. He was utterly dumbfounded, since he hadn't expected that the ultra-rich patron Mr. Smoke, whom he had tried to curry favor with in the group chat a few hours ago, was actually Charles.
'How can he be Charles?' Alfonso thought.
'So this young man who didn't have an invitation is actually one of the three special guests today? The legendary billionaire?' The whole place was in shock and everyone's scalp tingled as they thought about it.
The successful individuals who had mocked Charles earlier shrank back like turtles.
They had just wanted to flatter the Sullivan Group.
But they had offended someone even more powerful!
"Mr. Smoke, it's my fault for not arranging things properly. I should have personally sent someone to pick you up. Why didn't you call me before entering? This wouldn't have happened!" Gordon stepped forward to apologize, glancing at Charles's clothes and immediately frowning.
"Damn it, get the hotel manager over here. Who arranged the security uniforms for today's event? Change them all!" Gordon roared.
"Understood, Mr. Cunningham. I'll have them change the clothes immediately!" A middle-aged man in his forties wiped the sweat off his forehead and responded timidly.
At this moment, Snow's big round eyes almost popped out of her face and she felt completely disoriented, shocked beyond belief.
She had come here with a mission.
She was representing Koi Tech and Amanda's trust in her and had been supposed to get close to Mr. Smoke at this charity event.
But she never dreamed that Mr. Smoke would actually be Charles. She felt like God was playing a joke on her.
Seeing Charles was already awkward enough, she wanted to quickly distance herself.
'Who would have thought Charles is the person I am looking for?
'Given the current awkward situation, how can I possibly bring up the topic of company financing with Charles?
'And Charles is right. He doesn't need my help at all.
'Yet I, in my self-righteousness, thought I was helping him by bringing him into the venue, thinking it would repay the favor,' Snow thought.
