Chapter 450: Delivering The News
The merciless rebuke made the fawning and enthusiastic smiles on Justin’s and Alex’s faces immediately freeze.
The surrounding guests were also shocked.
Alex didn’t mind getting rebuked. After all, the Turners didn’t really have a high status.
But Justin was the general manager of the Heron Corp., and he would inherit all of the Herons’ assets and business empire in the future. Yet Flynn had just shamed him unceremoniously.
Justin had an awkward look of embarrassment on his face, but he was very clear of Flynn’s current status. So he wouldn’t dare to show a single trace of anger even if Flynn slapped him in public.
The general manager of the Solar Corporation wasn’t someone whom a second-tier family like the Herons could afford to provoke.
Justin took a deep breath to suppress the embarrassment of being rebuked in public, but he was extremely bewildered.
Flynn had made it clear that he wasn’t here to attend Dylan’s wedding, so that meant that he probably wasn’t the big shot related to the Turners whom Robert had told him about.
What is he here for then?
Could... Flynn Davis have also received the tip and is here to wait for that mysterious big shot?
Justin sucked his teeth while feeling frightened.
In his opinion, Flynn was already quite a powerful bigwig. If even Flynn was waiting for the mysterious big shot, how shocking must his power be?!
All of a sudden, Justin was shocked and agitated. Furthermore, he had made up his mind to do everything he could to befriend the powerful big shot!
Flynn no longer cared about Alex and Justin and headed straight into the ballroom.
Alex naturally didn’t dare to stop him, but he also didn’t dare to arrange a seat for Flynn.
Cheyenne and Lucas had naturally noticed the commotion at the entrance.
There were traces of amazement in Cheyenne’s and Charlotte’s eyes. They both knew Flynn and were surprised as to why he had suddenly appeared here.
Lucas was also a little surprised. Since he didn’t call Flynn over, something must have happened.
Flynn walked straight to Lucas’s table, but he didn’t sit down next to Lucas and instead sat down beside Charlotte.
“It’s been a while since we’ve met, Miss Carter,” Flynn said in a gentle voice, a stark contrast to his harsh and cold tone when he was at the entrance.
Facing her former boss, Charlotte hurriedly said, “Hello, Mr. Davis! I’m so glad to meet you here.”
She looked at Flynn before taking a few glances at Lucas.
She knew very well that Flynn used to be Lucas’s subordinate. But now, he didn’t even take a glance at Lucas and instead just greeted her. This made Charlotte baffled, but she naturally wouldn’t be stupid enough to ask him out loud.
Apart from some of the Turners’ relatives, whose statuses were too low to even know who Flynn was, the vast majority of the people present were no stranger to the name Flynn Davis.
Seeing that even Justin, who had the highest status among the guests in the ballroom, had been rebuked by Flynn, many who wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Flynn couldn’t help but dismiss these thoughts, for fear that they would not only fail to befriend him but end up offending him instead.
But after seeing that Flynn had sat down and spoken to others, they flocked forward in unison to try their luck.
“Mr. Davis, how are you? Pardon me for interrupting, but I’m...”
“Get lost!”
A young man was the first to walk up to Flynn and wanted to introduce himself, but the latter interrupted and glowered at him impatiently.
Flynn was naturally aware of their intentions, but he didn’t have the time nor patience to deal with them.
The expression on the young man’s face immediately froze.
But he didn’t dare to show any dissatisfaction at all. In fact, he had a faint sense of fear within him.
He knew that Flynn wasn’t an ordinary person, and he had heard that Flynn used to be from Orange County. But since the overnight destruction of the Brookes, Flynn had taken over all of their properties in a domineering and powerful manner. Even the other families in LA, including the top families like the Parkers and the Owens who had tried to take a share of the loot, didn’t receive a single benefit.
Next, in a little over a month, Flynn quickly integrated all the industries left behind by the Brookes to develop a mega business empire, turning the Solar Corporation into the largest empire in LA. Flynn’s status in LA wasn’t at all inferior to the Parkers and Owens.
There had even been many rumors that the destruction of the Brookes was caused by Flynn.
Some also said that Flynn was backed by an extremely powerful force, which was why he could take down the Brookes in such a short period of time and develop the Solar Corporation to such a great extent.
Thus, all the major families in LA were scrupulous toward Flynn.
They wanted to befriend him but were also afraid of offending him.
However, Flynn clearly didn’t want them to disturb him.
They looked at each other before silently retreating backward. No one dared to go forward to talk to Flynn again, fearing that they would anger him.
The people whom Justin had invited gathered around him and discussed quietly among themselves.
“Mr. Davis is really scary. My heart was almost going to jump out of my chest when he glared at me. I was so scared that I might have accidentally offended him.”
“Me too. But since Mr. Davis isn’t here to attend the wedding, what is he doing here? Based on his appearance, he seems to be waiting for someone.”
“His status is so high. It should be very simple for him to meet anyone he wants to. It’d probably only take a phone call. Why is he waiting here? Unless...”
“Unless the person he’s waiting for has a higher status and is far beyond his reach! Could the person he’s waiting for be a big shot from a top family of San Francisco?”
“That’s hard to say. Why would a big shot from a top family of San Francisco attend the wedding held by the Turners? That’d be too strange!”
...
Everyone was chatting incessantly, but they kept their volume low, for fear of accidentally being overheard by the person they were talking about.
Justin had a glum expression on his face.
He also felt that Flynn was probably here to wait for the legendary big shot.
But the Herons’ status was too low to be acquainted with a big shot from a top family in San Francisco.
As long as Flynn was around, a big shot of such a high status would definitely communicate only with him.
Justin didn’t have the guts to vie with Flynn!
At this moment, at the table that the crowd had voluntarily backed away from, Lucas suddenly asked, “Why are you here?”
The reason that Flynn would pretend not to see Lucas was that he knew that Lucas didn’t want to reveal his relationship with him in front of outsiders. So he was secretly trying to find an opportunity and a good time to speak to Lucas.
But since Lucas had now taken the initiative to speak to him, Flynn naturally wouldn’t continue pretending any further.
He immediately sat next to Lucas and whispered, “Mr. Gray, I just received an accurate piece of news that Damon Parker, the helmsman of the Parker family, said that you killed his grandson Tristan. So he’s going to gather his men to rush here and harm you!”
