Chapter 132 Hunting the Popular Streamer
“Mr. Hilton?” The speaker looked at him in confusion.
Larry didn't care about the influence these people had in Southdale. He grabbed one of them and asked, “Do you know this streamer?”
The man looked puzzled. “Mr. Hilton, pardon my confusion. This is the Chamber of
Commerce, and she’s just a small-time streamer...
"What do you know?” Larry refrained from saying what he truly thought. “Forget it; I'll find out for myself.”
He could easily navigate to the Empathy Clinic in Waterview Alley using GPS.
Since this foreign investment meeting was originally arranged for Larry to attend, his sudden desire to leave undoubtedly unsettled the others.
“Mr. Hilton, the meeting isn't over yet,” the Shepherds, leveraging their influence in the medical industry, interjected. Then, they added, “It's not quite appropriate for you to leave. at this moment.” However, Larry couldn't give a darn about what they thought. He pondered, “Screw this “not appropriate’ nonsense! You're not even treating me for my illness, so why should I bother? Plus, you're not even half as good as Boss!”
Larry might have appear refined now, but in the past, he was a rough-and-tumble
Northwesterner, decked out in flashy gold watches and chains. “Since the meeting hasn't concluded, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to leave.”
Nelson thought he had persuaded him, but Larry's next words took him by surprise. Alright, then. Let's wrap up the meeting. Everyone is free to go.”
With that, Larry summoned his bodyguards and made a grand exit.
Downstairs in the reception lounge of the Chamber of Commerce, Ewan had been waiting for three hours.He had hoped to have a chat with Larry Hilton, the second in command at Welkin Corporation, over breakfast. However, not only was Larry nowhere to be found, but Ewan had missed the meeting.
Now, all Ewan could do was sit there in frustration. Breakfast was out of the question, and he couldn't even manage to get a glass of water.
The secretaries at the Chamber of Commerce were all snobbish and only concerned about pleasing their superiors.
Ewan felt ignored as no one seemed to notice him
Growing weary of waiting, he couldn't contain his frustration any longer. With a forced smile, he approached the receptionist and asked, “Hi there. Is Mr. Hilton of Welkin Corporation still not available?”
“Yes,” the receptionist replied indifferently. She was growing irritated with the constant line of questions. “Mr. Hilton's tied up
park project down in Southdale. The with the wat
Yates Group's matters will have to wait.”
Ewan was taken aback by this dismissive reply. He thought, “How could they downplay the significance of the Yates Group's affairs?:
Despite his frustration, he knew better than to lose his temper. “Can't you accommodate my request? Mr. Hilton and I have had previous dealings. We've even collaborated before.”
The receptionist chuckled. “Previous dealings? Well, that simplifies things. You should contact Mr. Hilton directly. It'll be faster. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it here.”
The Chamber of Commerce was a place where hierarchy ruled supreme. Although the Yates family's situation might be obscure elsewhere, it was widely recognized within the Chamber of Commerce. Ewan couldn't tolerate being treated in such a manner. “You're just belittling me! Why were the Lopezes were allowed in earlier?”
"Dr. Lopez is a renowned physician. Are you?” The receptionist remained impartial. Her morning tasks had already been burdensome, and the insult only added to her displeasure.
Just then, the elevator chimed as its doors opened.
Six bodyguards in black attire emerged.
The staff at the Chamber of Commerce rose respectfully and greeted,
Larry always radiated an air of importance. Even before he appeared, his palpable to all.
Feeling as if he had found a lifeline, Ewan hurriedly made his way over.
