Chapter 462 Matchmaking
Ashton immediately approached William and reported in a low voice, “Mr. Middleton, Ms. Thornton is inquiring about that villa.”
Ashley?
Agleam flashed in William’s eyes. Why would she suddenly investigate that villa? Could it be that Emelie commissioned her to do so?
No wonder he felt that her emotions were off,
Did she know everything or just a part of it?
William had already entered the banquet hall and couldn’t bum back. He could only glance at Ashton, who understood his meaning and nodded before stepping back.
Meanwhile, William maintained his composure and continued into the venue.
This year’s Capebatt Commerce Conference theme was “Blossoming Prosperity“.
The crystal chandeliers were shaped like carved flowers, and the carpets spread out were embroidered with floral pattems. Besides, the flowers adoring every comer of the venue were rare species flown in from afar. The entire scene exuded opulence and grandeur.
It felt like another world here, filled with luxury and decadence. Men in suits and women in elegant attire each held a glass of wine, sitting in small groups, chatting and laughing. They addressed each other as directors or presidents, with the lowest title being manager.
As soon as William entered the place, several executives approached him for a talk. He had to stop in his tracks and take a glass of red wine from a passing waiter. Williams stood tall and distinguished as he held a glass of crimson wine that complemented his dark blue watch. It created an indescribable harmony and elegance
“Mr. Middleton, I saw Cloudex Corporation’s financial report for last year a couple of days ago. It showed a 203% year–over–year growth compared to the year before. Thad to meet you today to congratulate you in person. Mr. Middleton, you’re truly impressive. With Cloudex Corporation entirely under your control, it’s advancing at a remarkable pace.” “Mr. Robinson, you flatter me. It’s the industry that’s improving.”

“I believe Cloudex Corporation will climb even higher this year. Especially with the Wimstour City project, which started last year, its returns are unpredictable. Since y personally oversaw that project, Mr. Middleton, it will surely be extraordinary.”
“Mrs. Lopez, thank you for your kind words ”
William spoke sparingly, responding as others flattered him.
He was the main attraction, even at a gathering of successful people. His every gesture exuded the natural bearing of a leader, far surpassing those so–called nouveau riches who had only recently made some money
The Middleton family and Cloudex Corporation’s wealth were enough to make people nationwide envious
Of course, not everyone was there to flatter him. Some wanted to use this opportunity to probe for information from William.
“By the way, Mr. Middleton, have you heard? Norman’s younger son, Wesley Graham, has returned. I wonder if Norman will take this banquet as an opportunity to introduce his son to everyone. After all, he will be active in Capebatt City from now on.”
William took a sip of red wine and replied in an indifferent tone, “Mr. Jenkins, you seem to be better informed than I am. I haven’t heard about this.”
Although he didn’t express an opinion, the topic among the goests began to revolve around Wesley.
“Norman’s eldest son is a steady caretaker, but his younger son has quite the potential as his father.”
“Indeed. Last year, he even fought his way out of the Filo family and successfully inherited his grandmother’s and mother’s File Group. Now that he’s back, his development both domestically and internationally is unstoppable.”
“Filo Group, you said? Did you mean that major conglomerate? So, Norman’s ex–wife is from the Filo family. The force of Capebatt City might need reshaping now!”
William merely listened without showing any expression or reaction. However, others became sensitive to the topic. The Middleton family was the absolute leader in Capebatt City What did reshaping the force even mean? What kind of reshaping?
Fearing that William might be displeased, the person gave a heavy cough to stop the discussion about Wesley.
He awkwardly shifted the topic. “Mr. Middleton, are you interested in finding a girlfriend this year? As an old man once said, one should cultivate one’s body, manage the family. govern the country, and bring peace to the world. Mr. Middleton, with your achievements at such a young age, you should also consider your lifelong partner.
Willen put down his wine glass, “What’s this, Mr. Jenkins? Do you have someone in mind?”
