Chapter 198

“Harry.”
When Harry returned, Sophia called out sweetly.
Harry nodded coldly.
Seeing that Franklin was looking for someone, Sophia said, “Julie just got a call and went outside to take
Franklin replied, “Alright, I understand.”
Just as he finished speaking, a commotion arose from not far away.
It turned out that Old Master Hall had come out from inside.
Jordan Hall, Jimmy Hall, and other members of the Hall family were there.
With so many guests, Old Master Hall waited for everyone to quiet down before he began speaking, thanking everyone for coming.
Maggie, Johnny, and the others were standing a bit farther back, but Jordan still noticed them.
Johnny had come on behalf of the elderly head of the Gray family to present a gift, and Jimmy had already informed him and the elder.
However, Maggie’s presence was unknown to him.
Seeing Maggie, Jordan smiled and nodded at her.
Maggie had never known about Jordan’s relationship with Old Master Hall.
When she saw him greet her, she politely smiled in return.
The Brown and Green families saw that Jordan seemed to be greeting someone, but they weren’t sure who he was greeting.
After Old Master Hall finished his speech, the room erupted in applause.
Ten, many guests approached to discuss his artwork.
There were also many people greeting Jordan and the others.
With so many guests, after a while, Harry and Franklin finally approached to speak with Old Master Hall.
Old Master Hall took the gifts they handed over and said, “You’re very considerate.”
His gaze shifted between Franklin, Harry, Rex, and the others, and he smiled, “It’s been years since we’ve met, and you young men look even more outstanding now. Not bad, not bad.”
While Old Master Hall was talking to Franklin and the others, Jordan continued greeting other guests and walked over toward Maggie and the others.
Johnny saw him coming and took the initiative to greet him.
After exchanging pleasantries with Johnny, Jordan turned to Maggie and said, “Mag, we meet again.”
Maggie also greeted him, “Uncle Hall.”
Jordan smiled and, knowing her grandmother’s identity, politely shook hands with Old Mrs. Miller.
When Maggie mentioned that Old Mrs. Miller was a fan of his father’s paintings, Jordan laughed and said, “If the old lady doesn’t mind, I’d be happy to invite her inside to have a seat.
Today, there are many guests, but those who truly appreciate my father’s paintings, I’m afraid, could be counted on one hand. Knowing someone like you, who understands, my father would certainly be very happy.”
Jordan had specifically come over to speak to Maggie.
But to others, it seemed like he was just greeting other guests while coincidentally passing by Johnny.
Everyone assumed that Jordan was just showing respect to the Gray family by speaking to Maggie.
Having spoken with Old Master Hall for a while, Franklin’s phone rang. He apologized and left the crowd
to take the call.
After walking a little, Julia returned, having finished her phone call.
Julia was outstanding in both appearance and demeanor. As she passed through the crowd and joined Rex and Harry, Old Master Hall noticed her.
Old Master Hall thought she had a good bearing and, assuming she was either Harry or Rex’s girlfriend,
s about to speak when Rex noticed that Harry didn’t seem to be introducing Julia to Old Master Hall.
He stepped in to introduce her,
“Old Master, this is Julia, she’s Mr. Wilson’s girlfriend.”
“Ah, she’s the girlfriend of that young man from the Wilson family?” Old Master Hall smiled, “They’re a good match.”
Julia responded politely, “You flatter me.”
Looking at Harry, Rex, and Jimmy, Old Master Hall smiled and said, “You guys should hurry up.”
At that moment, Jordan happened to bring Maggie and Johnny over.
Te introduced Johnny to Old Master Hall, “Father, this is the youngest member of the Gray family. His company, Cole, has been doing very well recently and is one of the national projects for the next few years.”
He then introduced Maggie, “This is Maggie, a core technical developer at Cole. She is an invaluable talent in the tech field. Cole’s success today is closely tied to her.”
The older generation was always concerned with the country’s future.
Hearing Jordan’s words, Old Master Hall smiled even more warmly, “Nice, with so many talented
Mitely imp individuals in our country, things will definitely improve.‘
Jordan also introduced Old Mrs. Miller to Old Master Hall, and the two began discussing art.
Old Mrs. Miller came from a scholarly family, and although she couldn’t compare to the famous masters like Old Master Hall, she genuinely understood painting and could speak knowledgeably on the subject.
Old Master Hall and Old Mrs. Miller had a long conversation.
Upon hearing Jordan’s introduction of Maggie, it was almost identical to how Johnny had introduced her at the last banquet.
Julia thought Jordan was praising Maggie because of his admiration for Johnny, and that was why he spoke so highly of her.
Seeing Maggie and Old Mrs. Miller receiving so much praise in front of the Hall family, Old Mrs. Green and the Brown family members felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Old Mrs. Green hadn’t attended the previous banquet, so she didn’t know that Johnny had already praised Maggie there.
Now, hearing Jordan praise her in the same way, Tracy pulled Julia aside and whispered, “Is Maggie really that impressive?”
Julia smiled indifferently and replied, “It’s fake.”
