Chapter 946
When Wilhelmina greeted Samuel warmly, he returned her greeting with the same level of enthusiasm. However, he passed right by her to greet Jack of his own accord before engaging him in a private discussion. Her complexion turned pale upon witnessing the scene.
She couldn't accept that the man she admired was excitedly chattering away with the man she despised the most. How could this be? Were her eyes playing tricks on her?
In her perspective, Jack was someone who didn't have the right to be acquainted with someone like Samuel. However, there was no denying that they appeared to be close based on how they interacted with one another.
Wilhelmina suddenly recalled that they were both students of Alnewgo University. Not only that, but they were also seniors in the School of Finance. Furthermore, Jack used to be the founder of Genesis Games. He also became a staff of Haven Net after his company was acquired by them.
The pieces of the puzzle fell into place for Wilhelmina. Since they were from the same university and had both achieved success of course, Samuel's
achievements far surpassed Jack's—it made sense for them to be acquainted with one another, especially since they were working in the same company now.
It would be even stranger if they didn't know each other.
But Wilhelmina was struck with another dilemma. Why would a look of respect cross Samuel's face occasionally when he interacted with Jack? Why would Samuel sometimes seem so humble in front of Jack?
It shouldn't be that way, especially when Samuel was supposed to be Jack's superior. Samuel might even have been the one to make the final decision to acquire Genesis Games.
The way Samuel treated Jack was completely different from how a superior should treat a subordinate with a certain degree of strictness in Wilhelmina's perspective. There were even times when Jack's demeanor appeared to be more relaxed and natural. In fact, he even seemed more noble, giving off the impression that his status was higher than Samuel's.
But how could that be? It was simply impossible.
Wilhelmina's heart hammered in her chest once the thought was planted in her mind. Her imagination was getting too wild.
However, from the moment the idea
materialized in her mind, it
continued to haunt her thoughts She couldn't get rid of it no matter How hard she tried. Just as Wilhelmina's thoughts nearly spiraled out of her control, Samuel and Jack ended their discussion.
Samuel led Jack to the center of the crowd, earning varying gazes of confusion from
the financial tycoons.
He pointed at Jack before
announcing Good day everyone,
the banquet to introduce
will begin shortly. But
first it is my
someone very special to all of you. This man is the founder of Haven Net and also the CEO of our
company, Mr. Jack Holland."
Shock washed over the faces of all the guests present in the hall upon hearing Samuel's words. In the next second, they erupted into a thunderous applause.
They never could have imagined that the founder of Haven Net was
someone so young. If their estimations were correct. Jagk looked to be only in his early 20s, looking to be about the same age as Samuel.
The guests gasped in awe upon learning that a youngster like Jack was responsible for establishing a massive business such as Haven Net. The company had nearly a billion registered users.
To the side, Wilhelmina felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was frozen to the spot like a statue.
Samuel's announcement continued to reverberate in her ears, like a massive bomb that had exploded in her head. She felt incredibly dizzy.
