1214: Acquaintants

Acquaintants

Connor observed his surroundings briefly and realized that since he couldn't enter through the main entrance, he had to choose another way to get in.2

Since Rockefeller didn't want him to enter, he was determined to go in and find out what was going on.

Because there were too many people downstairs at Heavens Commerce, he knew that entering now would easily attract attention.

Wouldn't it be a huge joke for him, the rich heir of Porthampton, to climb over a wall to attend the party?!

If someone found out about this, he would truly become the laughingstock.

So he decided to wait until there were fewer people before climbing over the wall.

He found a secluded spot and waited quietly.

By now, he had already seen many familiar faces entering Heavens Commerce, including those he had met at Hustlers Club. Even Harold, Henny, Jovan, Sheldon, Sabrina, and other old friends from Porthampton had arrived, and they all had invitation letters in their hands.

But what surprised Connor even more was that Sonia walked into Heavens Club with a young man.

The young man should be her wealthy boyfriend.

Connor couldn't understand why these people had traveled so far to attend this party. Could it be that Harold and the others were also very interested in Heavens Club?

While he was contemplating these questions, a black Bentley slowly stopped at the entrance of Heavens Commerce.

When the car door opened, Queta, dressed in a black evening gown and high heels, stepped out of the car.

After all, she was the business queen of Newtown.

So when she arrived at the venue, countless people approached her and greeted her.

Queta spotted Connor standing in the corner at a glance. However, after seeing him, she didn't come over to talk to him or say much. She simply exchanged a few words with the crowd and then walked into Heavens Commerce accompanied by her secretary, stepping on high heels.

Just as she entered the building, a car parked at the entrance.

A familiar person walked out of the car, Arthur.

Arthur was wearing a white suit today, and with his handsome face and tall figure, he looked exceptionally charming.

After getting out of the car, he opened the back door.

A middle-aged man walked out of the car, and that man was none other than Arthur's father, Jeremiah Synder.

Connor knew very well that with such a lucrative piece of Heavens Club, the Synder family, as a prominent local family in Newtown, wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Jeremiah, accompanied by Arthur, walked into Heavens Commerce.

After that, more familiar faces gradually entered Heavens Commerce.

But what surprised Connor the most was that Salma also came along with Frank.

Connor never expected that the influence of this party would be so great. All the well-known bosses in the province had attended, but many of them were just there to watch the show and had no intention of competing for the club.

The ones who truly wanted to acquire the club were just those few big families.

Connor pondered silently. If he could help Queta or the Thompson family get the club, it would be a good choice for him. But if the Synder family got the club, things could become complicated.

Half an hour quickly passed.

At this point, less than half an hour remained until the official start of the party, and most of the guests had already arrived. There weren't many guests left.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to climb over the back wall to enter Heavens Commerce.

He walked to the back wall of Heavens Commerce. Since everyone's attention was focused on the main entrance, there were hardly any people here.

The wall was about two meters high, making it impossible for an ordinary person to climb over. But for Connor, it was nothing.

Taking two steps back, he prepared to take a running start.

"Connor?"

But at that moment, a familiar voice sounded in Connor's ears.

Upon hearing this voice, he couldn't help but pause.

He felt that the voice was very familiar, but for a moment, he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

Then, a faint fragrance wafted over.

Connor instinctively turned his head and saw the person standing in front of him—it was none other than Chelsea, whom he had dinner with yesterday.

She looked at him curiously and asked softly, "Connor, what are you doing here?"

He looked at her helplessly. He had been waiting for so long, afraid of running into someone he knew.

But he never expected that he would still run into an acquaintance in the end.

"Chelsea, what are you doing here?" he asked her somewhat helplessly.

She glanced around and said softly, "I just happened to pass by here. What about you?"

"I... I don't have anything to do. I'm just waiting for someone here!" Connor explained awkwardly.

He definitely wouldn't say that he came here to attend the party, but since he wasn't given an invitation letter, he could only climb over the wall.

Connor cared about his image, especially in front of a beautiful woman like Chelsea. If he told the truth, he would feel very embarrassed.

"You're waiting for a friend here?" She blinked her eyes and asked Connor softly.

"Yeah, my friend will be here soon. If you don't have anything to do, you should leave..."

Connor's mind was focused on one thought, which was to quickly make Chelsea leave. After all, the party would start in less than half an hour. If he was delayed because of Chelsea and missed the party, it would be a waste of his efforts today.

"We really have such a coincidence to meet here..."

Chelsea seemed not to understand Connor's intention and said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's indeed quite a coincidence..."

Connor nodded slightly while looking at Chelsea, and continued, "By the way, didn't you mention earlier that you had something to attend to? You should leave quickly. My friend will probably arrive soon..."

"I actually don't have anything to do. Where do you plan to go with your friend? How about taking me along?" Chelsea asked with a smiling face.

After hearing her words, he felt completely overwhelmed.

After all, he had important things to do today, and he wasn't in the mood to waste time with Chelsea here.
