The Son-In-Law Shot To Fame Chapter 141

As Jennifer scanned the hall, her gaze fell upon a man at table 22. She went pale immediately.

It was the young man in the flash drive’s file, Rupert Rodriguez!

He was looking at Jennifer, too. Both of them made eye contact. Rupert nodded and smiled at her, but he started to feel anxious after that.

“There’s something wrong with this woman. As soon as she saw me, she seemed alarmed and went pale. It’s not because Keyin lost more than ten million to me, but it’s because she fears me. She fears that her life will be in danger. Find out whether she has discovered something,” Rupert said to Anastasia.

1 1 Anastasia nodded. “Fine, but we’d better not get involved with Eternal Love and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Akio from Pollerton Translations has already expressed his desire for these two items.”

Rupert pondered for a while and replied, “Do you want to protest?”

Anastasia nodded once more.

Shannon was at the gala as well. As usual, she seemed elegant and gracious, giving off a charismatic aura. It was as if she cared about nothing else in the world, and there was nothing that could upset her.

“What’s the matter?” Shannon asked when she noticed how uncomfortable Jennifer seemed.

It was just a formality to her. In fact, Shannon would not care about anybody else.

Even if Nigel dropped dead in front of her she would not care, either.

The only things that mattered to her were personal gain and being rational.

Jennifer knew it was pointless to tell Shannon about the flash drive, so she shook her head and answered, “Nothing.”

A few minutes later, the hall quietened down. Everybody directed their attention to table 1.

There, a middle-aged man in his forties stood up slowly. He walked toward the rostrum and accepted the microphone. “Welcome to tonight’s charity gala organized by Pollerton Commerce! I am Sixten Campbell!”

There were six fingers on his right hand.

The g ts. inch udlla, Clannad hai However, Donald was the only one who did not do so.

He stared at Sixten coldly, and a sinister smile formed on his lips.

Is this Sixten of the Campbell clan’s Sanctum Branch?

hu DUELL CLONS The Campbell clan had many branches, and the Sanctunt-Branch was controlled by Sixten. Ten years ago, it was taken over by the Campbell clan, and it was labeled with the clan’s name.

ne The Campbell clan was an elite clan. Any organization that was labeled with the clan’s name would be developed at a rapid rate.

Sixten pressed his right hand against his chest gently, signaling for the crowd to simmer down.

After the applause had faded away, he continued, “Mr. Akio Ono from Pollerton Translations is with us tonight.”

Akio stood up and nodded to the crowd in acknowledgement. Another round of applause ensued.

“We also have Mr. Rupert Rodriguez, the heir to Noah International Group,” Sixten added.

Rupert got up and bowed to the crowd.

“Please welcome Ms. Wynter Lowe from Donter Pictures, too.” Sixten spoke.

After spending a few minutes introducing his guests, Sixten said, “Tonight’s charity gala will be in the form of an auction. Pollerton Commerce will take ten percent of all proceeds and donate the money to charity. All right, that’s enough from me. Please dig in, everyone. The auction will take place as you dine.”

Soon, the dishes were served.

“Have some cake, Donald.” Wynter cut a slice of cake and handed it to Donald with a silver fork.

*The lemon tart is good, too. Want to try?” Reina stood up as well.

Lana loved to join in the fun. “Want some coffee?”

–

Donald replied helplessly, “Just sit down and don’t worry about me.”

Jennifer, who was watching him from afar, felt upset.

“A total of nine items will be auctioned off tonight. The first item is a goblet from the Middle Ages. It’s genuine and made of glass. The bid starts from three million, and each bid shall not be less than one million, Sixten explained. *
