: A Small, Insignificant Presence

Inside the hotel, the party continued.
The big shots of the business world present all came to Connor’s side with wine glasses and toasted him one after another.
The reason why these people came to this party was actually mainly for Connor. They didn’t care about the subway project at all. They just wanted to meet Connor.
Connor’s alcohol tolerance was not very good. If he continued to drink like this, he would definitely lose his memory of the night.
After Thomas saw this scene, he quietly reminded Connor that he could replace the wine with tea.
Therefore, Connor picked up the teacup and responded to them one by one. Those business big shots were not dissatisfied with this situation at all. On the contrary, they were all very happy.
Sadie, Sheldon, Harold, and the others saw Connor being surrounded by a group of rich people, all of them trying to flatter him. They found the scene somewhat unbelievable and were somewhat unable to accept it.
“Mr. Jovan, Mr. Lambert is calling for you…”
At this moment, Cade Lambert’s secretary walked to Jovan’s side and whispered to Jovan.
Jovan didn’t know what was going on, but he didn’t dare to ignore the call. He quickly got up and left with Cade’s secretary.
A few minutes later, Sadie, Sheldon, and the others saw Cade walking toward Connor with Jovan.
“Mr. McDonald, we meet again!” Cade shouted happily at Connor.
“Hello, Mr. Lambert!”
Connor turned his head to look at Cade and replied indifferently.
“Mr. McDonald, let me introduce you. This is my son, Jovan…”
Cade didn’t feel Jovan’s standoffishness as he dragged Jovan to Connor while talking.
Connor turned his head and looked at Jovan, then said casually, “We know each other!”
“You know him?”
Cade’s expression seemed a little puzzled.
“That’s right!”
Connor nodded.
Jovan looked at Connor, face full of fear and his body trembling, not knowing how to deal with this situation.
Cade was not stupid. He knew his son’s character better than anyone else.
Therefore, he knew that Jovan must have offended Connor. Otherwise, Connor would never have such an attitude.
Originally, Cade wanted Jovan to suck up to Connor and be his lackey.
However, he didn’t expect that everything would be ruined in Jovan’s hands. His expression was extremely angry when he turned his head and glared at Jovan. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Jovan was so frightened by Cade’s gaze that his entire body trembled. For a moment, he did not know what to do.
“Mr. McDonald, let me toast you!”
Cade respectfully raised his glass to Connor.
But Connor did not even look at Cade. His attitude was very cold.
When he saw that, the expression on Cade’s face became even more nervous. However, because there were more people around, he did not dare to say anything more. He could only finish the wine in his glass, then turn around and leave with Jovan.
When Sheldon saw this scene, his heart was filled with worry and fear.
He was very afraid that Connor would take revenge on him, but after a while, Sheldon realized that Connor had no intention of responding to him at all.
This made Sheldon even angrier because he finally understood that Connor had never taken him seriously.
In Connor’s eyes, he was just a small, insignificant presence.
Even so, Sheldon knew that he couldn’t do anything to Connor because the gap between the two of them was too terrifying.
This kind of gap could not be made up by simple hard work.
Harold’s expression was also very angry, but Harold did not have the slightest intention of giving up on Connor. This was because he felt that even if Connor had such achievements now, so what? Sooner or later, he would trample Connor under his feet!
Of course, this was just Harold’s wishful thinking. At this time, he might not know that Connor’s background was not as simple as just being Thomas Morgan’s boss.
The power behind Connor was not something that an ordinary person like Harold could imagine.
Half an hour later, almost all the bosses present had finished toasting Connor. Connor returned to Nicole and the others.
“Connor, you’re actually Mr. McDonald?”
When Sabrina saw Connor coming over, she hurriedly called out to him.
“I’m sorry. I couldn’t tell you my true identity for some reasons!” Connor knew that Sabrina and Nicole were probably the only ones who were worried about him, so he took the initiative to explain things to them.
“It’s okay, Connor. There must’ve been some difficulties if you couldn’t tell me about it…” Sabrina replied sensibly.
Connor smiled faintly and patted Sabrina’s head without saying anything.
When the rich people around saw how intimate Connor and Sabrina were, they were naturally envious. They thought that Charles Ziegler was really something to actually introduce his daughter to Connor in advance. If they had known about this earlier, they would definitely not have missed such an opportunity.
Cade’s face was filled with anger. He was already very angry when Yarrow and Yucca failed previously. Now that Jovan had offended Connor, Cade felt that getting close to Connor in the future would definitely be more difficult than ascending to the heavens.
After chatting with Sabrina for a while, Connor turned to look at Nicole and said, “Nicole, I’m really sorry for not telling you my true identity earlier…”
“No… It’s okay…” Nicole looked at Connor and smiled bitterly. At this moment, she did not seem to know what to say.
“Nicole, I heard that your company also deals in construction materials, right?” Connor asked.
“Yeah, why?” Nicole replied in confusion.
“Although I snatched this subway project from you, I can guarantee you that no matter which company gets this project in the end, they will buy building materials from your company!”
Connor said directly.
“Connor, do you mean it?”
Nicole shouted excitedly when she heard this.
In fact, Nicole did not have much of a chance to get this subway project. After all, she could not deal with the people in Rockefeller at all.
However, if Connor agreed to buy building materials from her company, it would be a great thing for her company. This way, not only could they make up for the previous losses, but their company could also make a fortune..
