1224: The Thompson Family's Backup

The Thompson Family's Backup

Those who were able to attend today's evening party were all influential figures in Orilon. Each of them had extraordinary means.0

So when they heard what Arthur said, they looked down upon Connor in their hearts. They thought it was ridiculous for him to claim that he could acquire Heavens Club with just five million. It was nothing but a pipe dream.

However, these people were all cunning individuals. They certainly wouldn't discuss it openly like ordinary people. On the contrary, they acted as if they hadn't heard anything.

"Mr. Connor, I think it's impossible for you to acquire Heavens Club with just five million. But don't feel too sad. After all, the food here is delicious. You can eat more and then leave. That way, you won't have come here for nothing..." Arthur said with a smile.

Clearly, Arthur was intentionally humiliating Connor, and everyone understood the meaning behind his words.

"That's right, just treat it as expanding your horizons!" Harold grinned.

"Who said Connor can't acquire Heavens Club today?"

But at that moment, a cold and seductive voice resounded through the crowd.

Upon hearing this, Arthur couldn't help but pause for a moment and turned his head to look.

Salma gracefully walked up to Connor in her heels. After glancing at Arthur, she asked him softly, "Mr. Arthur, you said that Connor's five million is not enough to acquire Heavens Club. So tell me, how much money would be enough?"

Arthur looked at Salma in front of him, his expression somewhat puzzled. He couldn't understand why Salma chose to speak up for Connor at this moment.

After all, the Thompson family, to which Salma belonged, was quite powerful. Moreover, there had been ongoing cooperation between the Synder family and the Thompson family. Arthur didn't want to offend Salma in his heart. Everyone knew that the Thompson family regarded Salma as their future successor.

"Miss Salma, what do you mean by that?" Arthur asked Salma with a slightly awkward expression.

Salma had been by Frank's side all this time. When she saw Arthur and Harold humiliating Connor together, she felt extremely uncomfortable. After all, Salma genuinely liked him. Even though he had coldly rejected her advances several times, she still had the impulse to help him.

After receiving Frank's tacit approval, she stood up.

And Frank, who now knew Connor's identity, had her do this just to bring him closer to their side.

"My point is simple. Weren't you just mocking Connor earlier, saying that five million is insufficient to acquire Heavens Club? Well, now I want to ask you, what exactly would qualify?" Salma stood beside Connor and faced Arthur without expression.

Arthur took a deep breath and whispered, "Miss Salma, I didn't mean anything else. Connor only prepared five million to acquire this club, and I think it's a bit too little. That's why I believe he is not qualified to participate in the competition for Heavens Club!"

"I see!" Salma couldn't help but sneer, then said lightly, "Indeed, five million is not much..."

"Yes, five million is indeed a bit insufficient..." Arthur nodded lightly.

"But what if my family add thirty billion to it? I wonder if that would be enough?" The next sentence from Salma directly stunned everyone present.

No one had expected that the Thompson family would directly prepare thirty billion and even plan to help Connor acquire Heavens Club.

Everyone looked at Connor's position, unable to understand why he had gained the favor of Salma and the Thompson family.

Even Connor himself was perplexed. The five million was just something he casually mentioned. He had no intention of actually offering five million.

What he couldn't understand even more was why Salma chose to help him with so much money!

Could it be that she found her seduction ineffective and decided to use money to bribe him?

Arthur's expression also showed confusion. He took a step forward, furrowed his brow, and asked Salma, "Miss Salma, the affairs of the Thompson family shouldn't be decided by you, right?"

"The affairs of our my family are naturally not decided by me, but can't I still have some say?" At that moment, Frank stepped forward, expressionless, and said.

"This..." Arthur was instantly stunned.

"On behalf of our Thompson family, I declare that all the bidding funds participated by Mr. Connor will be provided by our family. Our family will also do our best to cooperate with Mr. Connor in acquiring Heavens Club!" Frank said calmly.

Everyone looked at Frank's position, their expressions extremely complex, and their moods exceptionally gloomy.

After all, they were well aware of the economic power of the Thompson family. If the Thompson family chose to help Connor and go all out, they would have no hope whatsoever.

In terms of wealth alone, there was no one in the entire Orlin who could compare to the Thompson family.

Sabrina looked at Connor's position and sighed inwardly, "No wonder Connor always avoided facing my feelings for him. It turns out he has found someone more suitable for him!"

Harold and Sheldon couldn't understand it either. They couldn't comprehend why Connor always had such good luck. Back in Porthampton, Kiki Yonder had helped him, and Minnie Sander had also assisted him. Now, in Newtown, it was even more unbelievable that he had gotten involved with the Thompson family's heir.

Harold thought that although Connor had a decent appearance, he wasn't an exceptionally handsome guy. Why did he have such good luck with women?

Sadie also couldn't understand any of this.

Chelsea stood in the distance, looking at Connor's position, and whispered, "I didn't expect that Connor would actually know people from the Thompson family. His luck is really good..."

"Connor, let's go!" Salma called out to Connor with an expressionless face, and she even took the initiative to link her arm with his.

After seeing them leave, the onlookers secretly speculated about their relationship.

Previously, everyone had looked down upon him, but if he was going to become the son-in-law of the Thompson family, the situation might be completely different.
