Chapter 547
Bogus Billionaire
A car door opened, and Eddy and Thomas got out. Right after that, Jude got out as well.
Even after the car drove off, there was still no sign of Kirk. Everyone couldnât help but look at Howard.
Howard felt a little panicked at this. He quickly walked over to Jude. âMr. Morrison Senior,â he greeted.
Jude exchanged pleasantries with Howard with a laugh. âAm I late?â
âNo,â Howard answered as he looked behind Jude. Still, he saw no signs of Kirk.
He couldnât help but ask, âWhere is Mr. Kirk? Did he not come with you?â
Jude smiled when he heard this. âOh, Eddyâs second uncle? To be honest with you, I havenât seen him in a long time. Iâm afraid I might not have had the chance to see him today if it wasnât for you.â
When the crowd heard this, they knew that the mysterious man hadnât come with Jude. They all chittered.
âDad, you canât blame Kirk for that.â Thomas chuckled.
âHeâs busy with his affairs overseas and in the country. Heâs so busy that he probably wants to clone himself. Naturally, he doesnât have the time to visit you.â
âIndeed.â Jude went to sit on the couch with Howardâs help.
âItâs because of Kirkâs boldness and willingness to work hard that he was able to become the wealthiest person in Sarcozia in such a short time.â
âThatâs right,â said the head of the Hackett family, Aiden Hackett.
âIf the youngsters in my family were half as hardworking as Mr. Kirk, we wouldnât have to worry about them anymore.â
As he said this, he looked at Damien. âMr. Sorkin, I heard that you sent your son abroad to work with SY Group on a project.â
Damien eyed Aiden.
Everyone in attendance tonight was the cunning sort. Once SY Group was mentioned, they all âItâs nothing, just a small project. Itâs got nothing on the project Mr. Collins is working on with Mr.
Kirk.â
âThatâs right, thatâs right.â Everyone focused back on Howard.
âMr. Collins, youâre amazing to be able to work with short time.â
Howard humbly waved it off.
Mr.
Mrk. You must have made a lot in this Everyone was chatting very happily, and Eddy couldnât stand it any longer. He had always despised how fake such events were.
However, as the heir of the Morrison family, he could do nothing but sit there and suffer it all.
He really hoped Kirk would arrive soon.
Eddy hadnât seen his second uncle in a long time. He had many things to say to Kirk, especially about Caroline.
Just as he thought of this, someone changed the topic of conversation to focus on Caroline.
âI heard that Evans Group has been doing quite well recently. It seems like itâs rising to the top. Is that true?â
The person who had spoken was the Sorkin familyâs eldest son, Anthony Sorkin.
When he heard this, Howard scoffed. âMr. Sorkin, you have too much faith in Evans Group.
âIf theyâre lucky, a small company like them would only make ten million dollars or so. And this doesnât include the costs and other expenses. Which of us here donât make the same in profits a day?â
Everyone smiled and agreed.
In contrast, Anthony said sheepishly, âIf thatâs the case, then Iâm being shortsighted. However, Evans Group has indeed been improving since Caroline Evans took over. Sheâs truly a genius.â
Howardâs expression changed. Once again, he scoffed.
âA genius? Iâm sure sheâs just lucky. If it hadnât been for all the money Mr. Morrison Senior invested in the beginning, Evans Group wouldnât have gotten this far. Donât you understand that, He explained, âLetâs say you feel full after having seven slices of bread. You canât say that the first six slices are for nothing and only have the seventh slice. Isnât that right?â
Anthonyâs expression shifted.
