Chapter 829

Everyone at the table thought Galileo was a complete embarrassment.

More than anyone, Knox wanted to bury his head under the table.

But there was nothing he could do. Galileo usually hid behind Knox's name to intimidate others. But the moment he faced someone even Knox couldn't handle, he shrank back, like a coward.

Normally, the other young scions would've mocked Galileo for such cowardly behavior. But today, they kept their heads down, not daring to say a word.

It wasn't just Galileo. Even they were practically tripping over themselves, eager to flatter Jack.

He was a billionaire in his own right, backed by Quintis-a company whose wealth rivaled that of nations. If they, as his relatives, could get close to Jack, they'd never worry about money again.

Sitting nearby, Tatiana thought these people were utterly pathetic. Just hearing about Jack was enough to scare them stiff. How ridiculous!

At that moment, Samantha's table was filled with laughter and lively chatter. It was so noisy, they didn't notice the stir among the younger crowd.

Lillian smoothed her hair and spoke with pride. "Emily, my Knox was busy with business, but he still made it into Lightfield University. But he's never been one to chase titles-he was happy enough just getting into Lightfield.

"While he was there, he started a company just for fun. We all thought it was just a little side project, but it actually took off. So if we ever go public, you and Quintis have to come visit-give us your thoughts, yeah?"

Her words oozed smugness, leaving Emily unsure how to respond.

She said she wanted advice, but it was all for show-bragging that her son was sharper, stronger, a hundred times the man Jack was.

Just then, a sudden commotion from the younger crowd's table cut Lillian's bragging short.

She frowned in displeasure and snapped, "What's all the noise about? Can't you see the grown-ups talking?"

One of them stammered nervously, "A-Aunt Lilian, Jack... H-He..."

"What about him? So, he's a top scholar. What's the big deal?" Lillian scoffed arrogantly.

Tatiana chuckled lightly and looked

at her. "Aunt Lilian, Jack isn't i that he also trie CEO ofa major company! w

"CEO?" Lillian froze, and instantly, all eyes turned toward her, including Samantha and Emily.

Vincent's table was farther off. They were deep in talk and didn't notice the commotion yet.

Emily's eyes widened in surprise. She had no idea what was going on.

How could she not know Jack was CEO of some major corporation? Could Tatiana mean Drakengard Games?

But she remembered Jack had fallen

out with Drakengard Games long

ago. In the past two years, the company hadn't released anything noteworthy aside from promoting Legend

•f the East Word was,

they'd even been acquired by

Génesis Games, a global giant in the

industry.

Could Jack have returned to Drakengard Games?

Emily wondered silently, maintaining her composure, choosing to quietly observe for now.

Lillian picked up the thread dismissively. "CEO? Oh, please! These days, any average person Takea company public, then we'll talk."
