Madison led her two close friends and hurriedly walked towards the entrance.
One of the girls, with a helpless expression, shouted at Madison, “The people from the boutique have already delivered the clothes, and the makeup artist has been waiting inside! Today is your birthday, and we have been busy here. 1 really don’t understand what you’re thinking, running here to chat with a poor boy!”
Perhaps Connor hadn’t realized yet, but the granddaughter of Luke was none other than Madison!
She had initially intended to tease Connor, but she discovered that he truly didn’t know about her relationship with Luke.
Furthermore, she believed that he wasn’t here to attend her birthday party; he just wanted to come and have a free meal. However, she didn’t expose him.
After all, it was her birthday, and she knew very well whom she had invited.
“What poor boy? Connor is my friend!”
Upon hearing her friend’s words, Madison couldn’t help but mutter quietly.
“Alright, alright, 1 know he’s your friend!”
As they walked toward the backstage, her girlfriend said helplessly.
“I wonder how Connor will feel when he realizes later that I am the main character of this banquet…”
She couldn’t help but smile proudly, then followed her friend into the backstage to change clothes.
After all, she was the main character today, so she wanted to dress up nicely.
Moreover, Madison had heard from Luke that a very important guest would be coming today, and she was instructed to dress up well.
After she left, Connor still hadn’t connected Madison with being Luke’s granddaughter.
He had been standing in a corner of the hall, quietly observing the people inside.
On the other side, the bodyguard returned to Luke’s side after receiving his phone.
When Luke checked his phone, he found that there were dozens of missed calls, all from Connor!
Seeing so many missed calls, he was almost frightened. Without hesitation, he immediately called back.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off!”
A mechanical prompt sounded from the phone.
“It’s over, Mr. Connor must have arrived in Borealis City, but couldn’t find the place, so he called me. Now he should have left…”
Looking at his phone, Luke exclaimed in despair.
In reality, Connor’s phone had simply shut down because of the numerous calls he received earlier.
“What should we do now, Mr. Luke?”
The bodyguard asked in a low voice with a furrowed brow.
“Mr. Connor called me half an hour ago, so he shouldn’t have left Borealis City yet. Hurry and send people to the train station, hotels, airport, and bus station to find him. Once you find him, immediately call me, understand?”
Luke knew that the birthday banquet was about to start, and he couldn’t leave.
Therefore, he could only send the bodyguard to look for Connor while he called Thomas on the phone, hoping Thomas could reach him.
However, unfortunately, Thomas couldn’t find him either.
Now Luke was completely desperate. He had thought that Connor’s arrival would be an opportunity for their Phillips family, but he never expected that it would turn into a disaster due to his own negligence.
It was a small matter that Connor didn’t come today. If he was angry because Luke didn’t answer his call, then things would be troublesome.
“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have gone to receive others. 1 would have just waited for Mr. Connor to come over.”
At this moment, Luke was regretting his carelessness. He felt his intestines turning green with remorse.
But he didn’t have time to dwell on it now. It was already 7 p.m., and soothing music filled the hall.
The lights in the hall gradually dimmed, and the doors slowly opened.
Everyone put down their food and took out the gifts they had prepared in advance. They gathered at the entrance of the hall, waiting for the protagonist of the evening to make an appearance.
Connor knew that he hadn’t prepared a gift, and his identity was quite special.
If people were to find out that the newly appointed chairman of the Empire World Corporation didn’t even prepare a gift, it would be embarrassing.
So he planned to make up for the gift later. He didn’t want to join in the excitement with these people now. He stood quietly in the corner by himself.
Accompanied by her two girlfriends, Madison entered the hall.
By now, she had changed into an extremely luxurious dress, making her look exceptionally glamorous.
Her perfect figure, coupled with her enchanting and seductive face, exuded endless charm and ultimate sexiness with every frown and smile.
Her presence even made the rich young ladies present seem a bit overshadowed.
At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on Madison. They gathered around her, presenting gifts and offering birthday wishes.
All the people present were wealthy, and the gifts they brought were extremely expensive.
Various luxury items were presented one after another, dazzling the onlookers.
But what surprised Connor the most was that someone even gave a Ferrari sports car as a gift.
Squinting his eyes, he couldn’t help but marvel. All these gifts combined must be worth tens of millions, right?
It was a bit exaggerated to receive so many gifts just for a birthday celebration.
However, because there were too many people surrounding Madison and Connor was standing in a secluded spot, he had no way of seeing what Madison looked like.
He had no idea that Luke’s granddaughter was none other than Madison.
“Thank you, everyone, for your generosity!”
Madison wore a charming smile on her face as she began to chat with everyone.
Having become accustomed to such occasions, she treated each person with kindness, making them feel comfortable.
Five minutes later, all the gifts had been given out.
Next was the time for her to give a speech on stage. When Connor saw someone walking up to the podium, he instinctively glanced at the stage.
But when he saw that the person on stage was Madison, he was dumbfounded.
“Could it be so coincidental? Madison is actually Luke’s granddaughter?”
He couldn’t help but exclaim, his expression filled with disbelief.
“Good evening, everyone. Thank you very much for taking the time to attend my birthday banquet…”
While holding the microphone and speaking, Madison turned her head and looked in Connor’s direction, revealing a very proud smile.
It was at this moment that he finally realized he had been played by her!
