Inside the restaurant.
Connor didn’t want to become involved in the conflict between Rubin and Jake since it had nothing to do with him.
Rubin, on the other hand, continually insulted Freya with his remarks, which irritated Connor, so he stopped Rubin.
Rubin was surprised when he heard Connor’s comments, then turned his head and said coldly, “Kid, what did you just say to me?”
“1 asked, what kind of connections did your grandfather bring here?” Connor repeated himself softly.
“If the people my grandfather brought here aren’t considered connections, then tell me what is.”
Rubin scowled at Connor and asked, a scornful grimace on his face.
“At the very least, it should be someone of the caliber of Thomas Morgan and Titus Jenkins, then it can be considered as connections, right?” Connor remarked calmly, looking at Rubin.
Freya’s face brightened as she heard Connor’s remarks because she knew he was confident in bringing Thomas and Titus here.
“Thomas Morgan and Titus Jenkins?”
Rubin’s cheeks flushed with astonishment when he heard these two names, and he scoffed, “Are you implying that you can bring these two people here?”
“I…”
Connor was about to say something when the receptionist at the restaurant’s entryway shouted loudly, “Mr. Christopher, the CEO of Golden Tiger Group in Porthampton, has arrived!”
Golden Tiger Group was neither well-known nor a large corporation in Porthampton.
But as the Phillips family heard the name, they all looked to the restaurant’s entryway, and Connor couldn’t continue.
“Why is the Golden Tiger Group here?” Priscilla whispered, perplexed.
Rubin’s eyes sparked with bewilderment as well.
“Does Golden Tiger Group have a problem?”
When Connor saw the unusual emotions on Freya, Priscilla, and others’ faces, he couldn’t help but inquire quietly.
“There is no issue with Golden Tiger Group, but their CEO, Christopher Leonard, is a competitor of my grandfather’s. They’ve always been feuding, and the Phillips family has never done business with the Leonards. There’s just one reason he’s here today: he’s come to make problems.” Freya said quietly.
“Hehe, 1 didn’t think anyone would dare to cause trouble at a birthday banquet for your grandfather. Your family’s ties seem to be very deficient!”
Rubin couldn’t help but ridicule her at this point.
On the other hand, she was not in the mood to pay attention to him and instead glanced at the restaurant’s entrance.
“I’ll go and see what Christopher is up to!”
After hearing that Christopher had come, John’s demeanour became even more hostile, and he proceeded towards the restaurant’s door.
The other members of the Phillips family’s faces became tense as well. Sean narrowed his eyes and peered at the door, his thoughts racing.
“Christopher has always been opposed to John. I won’t let him off the hook if he causes problems today!” Gabriel let out a frigid snort.
“If he dares to cause trouble today, I will never let him go!” Brooklyn added.
Even though the three brothers were privately battling with one another, they remained remarkably unified when confronted by strangers.
“Christopher, what exactly are you doing here?”
John approached the middle-aged guy with a greasy face and inquired harshly.
Today had already been a day of embarrassment for John. If Christopher made a disturbance here again, he’d lose his face today.
“Today is your birthday. How could I have missed it?”
To everyone’s amazement, Christopher changed his customary demeanour and responded graciously.
When John heard his remarks, he couldn’t help but be perplexed and concerned. He refused to accept Christopher’s primary reason for going there was to celebrate his birthday.
“Hehe, why would you be so kind as to come over and congratulate me on my birthday?”
“Christopher, I know you have some personal grudges against me,” John continued sneering. “1 normally let you do anything you want, but today is my birthday feast. I don’t want to waste your time. I’ll let you eat dinner if you remain here dutifully.”
“What are you on about, Mr. John? The misunderstanding between us has long since vanished. Furthermore, 1 was previously insensitive, and 1 apologise for upsetting you. 1 came today to congratulate you on your birthday!”
Christopher remarked to him, smiling.
“Are you here really to celebrate my birthday?”
John’s eyes were filled with distrust.
The other people in the room were equally perplexed since they knew Christopher and John were adversaries. As a result, there was no reason for Christopher to celebrate his birthday.
“Of course, it’s true. I’ve even got a present for you!”
As he talked, Christopher waved at the driver behind him.
When the driver saw this, he quickly pulled a nicely wrapped present box from the vehicle.
When John saw the present package, his countenance got even more perplexed. Christopher’s tone conveyed the impression that he was serious.
Brooklyn and Gabriel shared a bewildered glance as they sat in the exact location.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, John took the gift box from Christopher doubtfully. Then, he instinctively wanted to open it to see what was inside.
“Dad, you can’t open it!”
But just then, Walter hurried up to John’s side and yelled.
“Why can’t I open it?”
With a perplexed gaze, John inquired.
“Everyone in the Phillips Manor knows your relationship with Christopher, Dad. How could he be so generous as to come and wish you a happy birthday? There has to be something wrong with this gift box!” Walter spoke in hushed tones to John.
After hearing this, John had a startling revelation. “You actually plan to humiliate me with the box’s contents!” he said to Christopher.. “Your motives are very evil!”
