Chapter 40
Davis’s words and the various ambiguous gazes were like countless slaps on the faces of the Carters, making them blush and feel ashamed.
A few days ago, the Brilliance Corporation still belonged to them…
At this moment, Ethan Sawyer smiled and stood up. “As long as the Brilliance Corporation is willing, the Sawyer Corporation would be glad to cooperate with the Brilliance Corporation.”
Ethan Sawyer, the richest man in the county, had taken the initiative to offer cooperation. The others stood up anxiously too.
“The Jones hope to work with the Brilliance Corporation!”
“The Lawsons too! Mr. Davis, please give us a chance!”
“The Fords as well! If we can cooperate with the Brilliance Corporation, we’re willing to offer ten percent of profit-sharing!”
All of a sudden, families of various statuses made their intentions to cooperate with the Brilliance Corporation known.
For some large businesses, cooperating with the Brilliance Corporation could also make their relationship with the Stardust Corporation closer.
On the other hand, reaching a cooperation with the Brilliance Corporation would be a great opportunity for smaller enterprises that were unworthy of the Stardust Corporation!
Anyway, they could all tell clearly that the Brilliance Corporation was basically going to be a part of the Stardust Corporation.
When the Carters saw this, their hearts were about to bleed in agony. Just a few days ago, the Brilliance Corporation still belonged to them. And now that there were so many opportunities for cooperation, the value of the company would definitely soar. Unfortunately, it no longer belonged to them!
Davis raised his hand and pressed it down a little in the air, after which the guests in the hall soon quieted down and continued listening to him.
“Everyone, I appreciate your recognition of the Brilliance Corporation, and we can discuss our cooperation in detail later. But now, let’s move on to the second agenda of the banquet today.”
“Sure, please go ahead, Mr. Davis!” everyone in the hall said one after another.
“For the second matter, I’d like all of you to witness a loving relationship together with me.”
Davis clapped his hands, and everyone watched in perplexity as the lights in the banquet hall gradually dimmed and the curtains behind Davis were drawn open. The bright spotlight cast on the small hall at the front of the hall, putting all the items on display.
“Wow!”
“Oh my god!”
“So beautiful!”
Many of them gasped in awe and surprise.
In particular, all the wealthy women present almost had their eyes glued on the items that they couldn’t shift their gazes away from.
In the small hall behind the curtains, there were dozens of crystal display cabinets with staggered heights, and each of them contained a gorgeous piece of jewelry reflecting in the light and dazzling stunningly.
It would still be normal if there were only one or two pieces of jewelry, but the dazzling rays of light from so many pieces placed together resulted in a stunning visual impact.
In particular, there was a large pink diamond the size of a pigeon’s egg resting against a black velvet background in the display case in the middle, reflecting a dreamy light that was bedazzling.
“Ah! That’s the pink diamond sold at the sky-high price of more than thirty-five million dollars at the auction that night!”
“Oh my god! That pair of precious, superior-grade emerald bangles at the side was one of the few finale items at the auction!”
“And that pendant carved from a whole sapphire was also sold for millions during the auction!”
The crowd got into an uproar because the jewelry on display were all the precious treasures purchased at staggering prices by the mysterious tycoon at the auction that night!
Could the mysterious tycoon that day be Mr. Davis of the Stardust Corporation?!
If that was the case, all of them would have to reevaluate Davis’s status in the Stardust Corporation.
It would be simply too terrifying!
At this moment, Dominic and Bryce turned as pale as a sheet.
They had always pinned their hopes of making a comeback on the mysterious tycoon who appeared at the auction house, but if Davis was that tycoon, what hopes would they have left?
“No, no, I think everyone has misunderstood. These pieces of precious jewelry do not belong to me, and I’m not that mysterious person who appeared at the auction either,” Davis explained.
“The pieces of jewelry belong to a mysterious person who does not wish to be named. They are wedding anniversary gifts for his wife.
“Back then, this young man was incompetent and got married hastily but was unable to give anything to his wife.
“Later, in order to be worthy of his wife, this young man left without saying goodbye and tried to carve a career of his own. He left for several years.
“Now, he has returned. He specially purchased these pieces of rare jewelry at the auction for the sake of making it up to his wife, and he hopes that his wife will accept this token of his.
“So, let us celebrate this couple’s wedding anniversary and also sincerely wish this young man and his wife a lifetime of conjugal bliss!”
After Davis ended his speech, he led the audience through a round of applause.
All of a sudden, the hall was full of thunderous applause.
Although no one knew who the mysterious person and his wife really were, the fact that he could afford to spend tens of millions on precious jewelry and get Davis to help host a banquet for him had to mean that he was a powerful figure.
Many wealthy ladies were staring intently at the beautiful jewelry, refusing to take their eyes off them. They even began to harbor immense envy and jealousy toward the wife of that person whose name they didn’t even know.
Sitting at the main table in the front row, Cheyenne also had a look of envy on her face, not because of the ostentatious jewelry but because of the love and affection that the young man was said to have for his wife.
Suddenly reminded of something, Charlotte said, “Cheyenne, it’s also your wedding anniversary with Lucas, right? Besides, those experiences that Mr. Davis mentioned just now seem quite similar to yours. Could all of this… have been prepared for you by Lucas?” Actually, Charlotte began to become uncertain of her guess.
Although she had seen Lucas’s domineering side at the kindergarten previously, felt that he had been living an extraordinary life during the past few years, and even guessed that he might have killed many, the idea of Lucas spending tens of millions on jewelry was too far-fetched!
At the side, Karen kept her eyes glued onto the dazzling jewelry, wishing she could dash forward to grab them and hold them in her arms. She was also filled with jealousy for the woman who had such a good husband.
At this moment, she happened to overhear Charlotte’s words and couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “What nonsense are you saying? How can that piece of garbage Lucas afford these pieces of jewelry? He will never be able to in this lifetime and the next!”
