Chapter 1172: Chapter 1172: Ouch, Ouch, Ouch

Gary didn’t care what the people around them were thinking. Hearing Jacob Smith speak to him so politely, he waved his hands again and again. "No, no, boss, you’re too polite. If it weren’t for Miss White throwing this banquet, I wouldn’t even have had the chance to invite you here."

When Gary talked with Jacob Smith, of course they were using English. It didn’t matter if some guests couldn’t understand; weren’t there plenty of bosses who’d brought their translators along as female companions?

Those people generously "lent out" their translators, so everyone around could follow the conversation.

"This is the host of tonight’s banquet, Chloe White." As soon as Gary said that, the guests around them all had their own thoughts. It seemed Gary really did have a good relationship with Chloe White—he’d even introduced her name following Chinese customs.

"Hello, I’m Chloe White." Chloe walked gracefully up to Jacob Smith with a smile, extending her slender, delicate hand.

Jacob Smith reached out and gave her a polite shake before stating his name. "Luke Nelson."

The moment that name came out, sharp gasps of shock rippled through the crowd around them.

It wasn’t that these people, all veterans of the business world, lacked composure; it was just that the identity of this young man before them was far from simple.

The Nelsons were a massive family, with many branches inside it. But the main house held absolute authority—every branch and offshoot took orders from the main line.

And the current helmsman of the Nelson main family just so happened to be named Luke Nelson.

So...they were actually looking at the head of the Nelson family?!

The guests around them felt their minds go hazy in waves. The sheer joy came crashing down on them like a tidal wave, hitting them so hard they were a little unsteady on their feet, as if they might be drowned at any moment by this overwhelming happiness and even faint from excitement.

So many companies dreamed of working with the Nelson family and never even got a chance, and they had actually met the man who controlled the fate of the entire Nelson clan!

They must have been blessed by every god in existence on their way out today—bathed especially in the golden light of the God of Wealth!

At this moment, the handsome Western guy standing before them was no longer just "good-looking and suave" in their eyes. He was clearly a walking, talking gold ingot wrapped in a suit!

They practically wanted to pounce on him, hug him, and take a couple of bites.

As for the hungry-wolf stares all around him, Jacob Smith was long used to it and didn’t take it to heart at all.

What he cared about more was...

"Sophie, I missed you so much." Jacob Smith stretched out his long arms, ready to pull Sophie Wilson into a hug again.

Too bad, with Charles Seymour right there, how could he possibly let that happen?

"Hey, hey, hey... ow, ow, ow..." Jacob Smith’s handsome features twisted up from the pain; even with his face scrunched up like a steamed bun, he was still good-looking.

Especially when a miserable cry came out of the mouth of someone like him—it instantly triggered a rush of protective instincts in quite a few women around them.

Only, the moment they saw Charles Seymour’s cold, god-on-an-iceberg face, those women who had been about to rush over to "protect" Jacob Smith all froze in their tracks.

Both men were so good-looking—it really put them in a tough spot.

Oh my god, why make them face such a painful choice?

Heaven was just too cruel!

"President Seymour, please let go of Mr. Nelson, you’re hurting him." Chloe White hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. The White Family was still hoping to work with G Corporation, after all.

And now that Mr. Nelson himself was here, maybe through Gary they could even manage to work with the Nelson family too.
