Chapter 144 - Phase 1 (1/2)

”Boss, we are almost at Mr. Jones's estate.” Cedrick cleared his throat before glancing at the man sitting leisurely in the backseat.

Cain's eyes were closed the whole ride. He didn't want to attend this pointless party. Now that his wife solved most of his problems, he didn't need to meet the man inside.

Cedrick, sensing Cain's thoughts, swiftly interjected, ”Boss, you already gave your word.”

Cain's brows twitched, and he forced his eyelids to open. ”Russell, have him ready.”

Russell grinned while Cedrick restrained shaking his head in disapproval.

When Cain arrived at the scene of the party, the hearts of every woman and even some men rippled.

Amidst the silent stares of the crowd, Cain strode in together with his bodyguard and secretary on both sides. He was dress in an elegant all-white tuxedo. His expression was icy as his eyes, disinterested at the happenings around him.

Every step he took affected the hearts of those present. There were people like him that just the mere presence caused the night to brighten and the moon to dim.

”Mr. Fay, we are honored by your attendance. Please come this way.” Hawthorn Jones scrambled to his feet and made his utmost effort to please the cold man as he led him to a reserved table.

Although Hawthorn Jones was more than twice the age of Cain Fay, but like other older people facing the young man –– they couldn't help but lower themselves at Cain's dominance and imposing charisma. Cain's entire being emanated an aura of authority enough to awe everyone present.

”Cedrick, the contract,” Cain said after he took his seat.

”Mr. Jones, if you're alright with the contract, can we have you sign it?” Cedrick said straight to the point and extended a folder to Hawthorn Jones.
