Chapter 73
The commanding presence that the man naturally exuded stunned even Oliver, who had seen countless people. "Mr. Jones, look!" Someone passed the phone to him. "This is Ms. Yelena Jenner's photo with Mr. Z Hamerton!" "You guys were talking about this just now?"
"Yeah!"
Oliver looked at Yelena, who kept her composure and looked arrogant.
Oliver smiled politely at first, but his smile soon froze.
"Ms. Jenner." He looked at her. "Are you sure this is Mr. Z?"
Yelena was alarmed, and the way she looked at him was nervous.
"H-How... is it not?" She forced herself to calm down. After all, no one had seen what Zephyr looked like. At least not in this small dinner, no.
"It was Mr. Z Hamerton's welcome-back dinner that day. Our family was invited to Centrolis." Yelena looked nonchalant as she checked her manicured nails. "The dinner's huge, with the wealthiest people around the world all gathered there. It was a real eye-opener!
"I wonder if you've been, Mr. Jones."
Yelena snorted. Oliver was pretty influential in Jangasas, but he could barely compare to the Jenners. How could he have seen what the Hamertons were like?
As expected, Oliver bowed with an awkward smile. "You're right, Ms. Jenner. I haven't met Mr. Z personally.
"But..."
Oliver chuckled. "I've been to Centrolis many years ago and stayed in the Splendor Dynasty under the Hamertons. The person who took the photo with you is the valet who parked my car for me!" Yelena looked at him dumbly while Oliver's smile grew more unreadable.
The others were astonished as they looked at Yelena differently now.
Yelena recomposed herself and argued, "Is this a joke, Mr. Jones? Many years ago? Would you remember a valet from so many years ago? Don't mistake the person!"
She wanted to grab her phone back, but Oliver stopped her. He studied the photo closer, and his smile widened.
"This person has a mole under his left eye. I wouldn't mistake him. Heh, it's because his service was great back then that I tipped him quite generously and complimented him to his superior. He's a floor manager now. To thank me, he came to Jangasas the day before yesterday to give me a gift. I took him around Jangasas as well to be hospitable.
"What a coincidence, I have a photo with him here too!"
Oliver took out his phone, and everyone crowded over to see. The men in both photos were the same guy!
It turned the situation awkward and ironic.
Yelena turned pale and grabbed her phone, glaring at those around her with gritted teeth.
Someone chuckled. "Heh, Yelena, were you tricked?"
"Yeah, there are a lot of people like this online. They pretend to be rich heirs and trick young girls just because they're handsome!"
"That wouldn't be the case. I have faith in this man's character," Oliver explained with a smile. "Besides, Ms. Jenner's a legit heiress too. She wouldn't be as careless. There might be a misunderstanding!"
