Gregory remained composed upon hearing the remarks, though his eyes hinted at a mix of emotions.
“Oh dear, I’ve heard about that incident before. It’s been so many years, yet someone still brings it up. They really have nothing better to
do!” Gregory spoke with a hint of disdain.
“Jealousy, that’s what it is! Seeing someone receive endless congratulations on their birthday, marry into wealth, and be as
beautiful as a flower can make others green with envy. It’s common
for people to resort to backstabbing and spreading rumors behind the scenes. Even the artists in my entertainment company engage in
such petty squabbles all the time. It’s ridiculous!” Gregory tightened his lips, furrowing his brow.
Though the comments weren’t directed at anyone specific, they still stung nonetheless.
“Chairman Thompson is truly a person of integrity and loyalty,” someone chimed in. “Despite Madam Celeste being a former actre and only giving birth to a daughter for Chairman Thompson, he h not once mistreated her. It speaks volumes about his character!”

Cameron’s eyes lit up, his tone becoming more enthusiastic.”
Actually, our group has a great project underway, focusing on
environmental protection, which is currently receiving strong support from the government. My elder brother has entrusted it to me, and I’m
looking for potential partners.”
He briefly explained the project, and Gregory nodded, showing a hint
of interest.
“My daughter, Cecily, has proposed two excellent collaboration
proposals recently. She’ll be joining us later. After the party,
a meeting where you and your son can join us for a deeper discussion if you’re interested,” Cameron said, seizing the oppo

Helionis. After returning to Savrow, she joined KS Group based on her
own merit and is currently serving as the Director of the Product
Design Department,” Cameron proudly introduced his daughter, as if he were promoting a high-end product he had personally crafted.
