299: John Phillips's Birthday Banquet

John Phillips's Birthday Banquet

Although the name of the Phillips Estate sounded a little rustic, it was still considered a developed big city like the Smith Estate of the Northeast province.

Not only did the Phillips Estate have its own city center, but its level of development was not inferior to Porthampton at all.

However, because the Phillips Family usually kept a low profile, not many people had actually heard of the Phillips Family.

So far, the Phillips Family had produced no less than ten billionaires. After these billionaires retired, most of them chose to return to the Phillips Estate.

Freya's grandfather, John, was one of them. Adam Lawson's grandfather, who was also the previous head of the Lawson Family, was also like that.

It was precisely because of the return of these wealthy businessmen that the Phillips Estate's economy had developed rapidly. It was even comparable to a big city like Porthampton.

Today was a big day for the Phillips Family.

John, the head of the Phillips Family, was celebrating his 80th birthday!

Basically, as long as it was a wealthy businessman who was slightly famous in the Phillips Estate, they would come to attend this birthday banquet and give John a birthday gift.

Moreover, John had many siblings. These people were all well-known wealthy businessmen all over the country, so some of the guests came for John's siblings.

John had two brothers, Gabriel Phillips and Brooklyn Phillips!

Although John was quite famous in the Phillips Estate, he was still far from his two brothers.

Whether it was Gabriel or Brooklyn, they were both worth tens of billions.

In the Phillips Family that John was in, only Sean seemed to have developed a little in the past few years. The rest of the people could not be brought up at all.

In a large family like the Phillips Family, there were many people, but there would also be many disputes.

...

10 AM.

The hotel where the birthday banquet was held was already crowded. There were some guests in the hall. These guests generally did not have a high status. They were ordinary people who wanted to curry favor with John, which was why they came so early!

The real distinguished guests would arrive at the beginning of the birthday banquet!

Connor followed Freya, Sean, Laura, and the others into the hall.

When Connor entered the hall, he found that most of the Phillips Family members had already arrived. Some were helping to check the dishes in the kitchen, while others were helping to greet the guests in the hall. The atmosphere was very lively.

"Freya, you stay here with Connor. I'll go help with your father…"

Laura said softly to Freya after entering the hotel.

"Alright..."

Freya helplessly agreed.

"..."

Laura turned her head and looked at Connor. Then, she frowned and said, "Connor, just wait here obediently. Don't go out and embarrass yourself, understand?"

"I understand…"

Connor glanced at Laura and replied in a low voice.

"I shouldn't have brought you here…"

Laura snorted coldly and walked away with her bag. She then smiled charmingly and shouted, "Mrs. Walker, you're here!"

Although Freya's family did not live in the Phillips Estate, Laura was also from the Phillips Family, so she was very familiar with the guests in the hall.

Sean also began to look for the guests he knew to exchange greetings.

Connor turned to look at Freya and opened his mouth to speak to her. However, before he could say anything, Freya turned around and left. She then found a quiet place and sat down.

Connor knew that Freya was probably still angry about what happened last night, so he smiled helplessly. Then, he walked over to Freya and sat down quietly.

In a short while, more than an hour had passed.

"Grandpa Gabriel is here!"

At this moment, Zander Phillips suddenly shouted and ran out of the hotel.

Meanwhile, Qahira Zeller, Ailee West, Jake Phillips, and the rest followed behind Zander.

"Who is Grandpa Gabriel?"

Connor could not help but be stunned when he saw Zander's excitement. He then asked Freya softly.

"Grandpa Gabriel is my grandfather's older brother. He usually comes to our house quite often, so we like to call him Grandpa Gabriel…"

Freya Phillips explained.

"Then, why don't you go out and greet them?"

Connor asked with a smile.

"Zander and the rest will do…"

Freya said softly.

"Oh!"

Connor nodded lightly and didn't say anything.

A few minutes later, Zander and the others helped an old man who was about the same age as John into the hotel lobby. The old man had a kind smile on his face, giving off a feeling of being approachable.

"Aren't you going to say hello?"

Connor asked Freya softly.

Freya could not help but be stunned when she heard this. She then shook her head gently and said in a low voice, "I'd better not go over. I'll greet Grandpa Gabriel when I have the chance!"

"Alright, then…"

Connor nodded helplessly and didn't say anything.

As there were too many guests attending the birthday banquet today, Gabriel naturally did not notice Connor, Freya, and the others sitting at the side.

In the blink of an eye, many guests had arrived in the hall. Most of these guests were dressed in luxurious clothes and did not look like ordinary people.

Actually, in such a birthday banquet, the order in which the guests sat was very particular.

The more distinguished the guests were, the closer they were to John, while the guests with lower statuses had to sit at the back according to seniority.

Gabriel was John's older brother, so his status naturally could not be compared to the guests present. Therefore, he sat directly beside John and then smiled as he greeted everyone.

However, not long after, there was a commotion in the hall.2

Everyone turned to look at the door when they heard the voice.

A tall and sturdy white-haired old man walked into the hall, followed by a handsome young man.

"Why is Brooklyn so late?"

Gabriel said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Hasn't he always been like this? No matter what he does, he is always half a step slower…"

John, on the other hand, looked indifferent. He replied with a smile, then walked toward Brooklyn's seat.

Unlike Gabriel, Brooklyn did not greet the other guests after entering the hall. Instead, he walked straight to John's seat.

"I didn't expect Rubin to actually come!"

Freya did not place her attention on Brooklyn. Instead, she stared at the young man beside him with her bright eyes.
