Chapter 783 Guests
"You want to see my grandmother?" Cameron was taken aback for a moment. When she regained her wits, she inquired, "Are you... here because of Neveah's lack of success in securing a collaboration with us?" NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
When Cecilia was choosing her engagement ring, Reene was also present.
Cameron knew that Reene was the chairman of Neveah Department Store. Of course, as the Young Lady of the Sheffield Family, she was also aware that Neveah had been trying to collaborate with the Sheffields.
Therefore, it was obvious that his sudden visit today was because of that particular matter!
"Miss Sheffield is as clever as rumored." Kingsley smiled and said, "I didn't even have a chance to explain my purpose before you took the words right out of my mouth."
Nonetheless, she did not show any signs of being flattered by his praise. Instead, she furrowed her brows slightly and said hesitantly, "Mr. Nicholson, I'm afraid you will be wasting your time. My grandmother is a very stubborn person. As you may have heard, the Sheffields have a great reputation nationwide, but we only open our stores in Cleapolis. All of that is because of her. She has already made up her mind not to expand the business or cooperate with anyone. I doubt anyone can change her mind."
He only smiled faintly. "Where there's a will, there's a way. Maybe she will change her mind after I get a chance to plead my case?"
"Ah..." Cameron sighed wearily. "I know you have the exclusive Gold Card that is only issued five times in the world, but... money probably won't sway her..." Then, she added vaguely, "Well, you'll see what I mean once we arrive at the living room."
His heart skipped a beat after hearing her words.
Could it be that there are other people visiting Old Mrs. Sheffield at the moment?
It seemed that he was right on the money with his deduction. They had just made their way over to the living room's entrance when he heard Old Mrs. Sheffield's resolute voice ringing across the room, "No! I've already said no! The Sheffields won't just cooperate with anyone even if you offer a hundred billion!"
Cameron shot a resigned glance at Kingsley and shrugged helplessly. She was clearly silently conveying the words, "And there you have it."
Then, she lightly knocked on the living room door and led him inside.
As soon as they entered the living room, she introduced him to Old Mrs. Sheffield, "Grandmother, this is Mr. Nicholson, the gentleman who bought nine top-grade diamond rings at Gavell Jewelry Atelier."
Old Mrs. Sheffield's tense expression instantly eased upon hearing Cameron's introduction.
Then, she waved her hand as she welcomed him warmly. "Oh! So, you're Mr. Nicholson. Come, have a seat."
Old Mrs. Sheffield was already in her 70s. As She was wearing a vintage coat and just like a wealthy lady straight out of history books. She had obviously heard Cameron mention Kingsley, so her attitude was quite warm as she laid her eyes on him.
So, he nodded at Old Mrs. Sheffield and sat down in the guest seat by the window. Then, he carefully looked at the two people sitting opposite him after making himself comfortable.
The other two individuals were both middle-aged men in their fifties. Both of them were dressed to the nines, and their suits were obviously expensive custom-made ones.
One of them was slightly overweight and wore many high-end jewelry products on his person. In fact, he looked just like a stereotypical jewelry merchant. As a result, his companion looked rather dull in comparison.
Yet, the look in his eyes made Kingsley wary in an instant.
There was a hint of hostility in this person's eyes. It seemed that the man recognized him and viewed him as an enemy!
When Old Mrs. Sheffield caught sight of Kingsley scrutinizing the two people opposite him, she briefly introduced, "These two are also guests of the Sheffield Family today."
Then, she pointed to the slightly overweight middle-aged man, saying, "This is Mr. Freddie Morgan. He owns Gautier Jewelry Atelier in Seavale."
Finally, she pointed to the gloomy man sitting next to Freddie. "This is Mr. Jeremy Windsor. He's the CEO of Forward Vision Group. I suppose you've heard of him?"
Jeremy Windsor, the head of the Windsor Family?
Kingsley's eyes flickered as he listened to Old Mrs. Sheffield's introduction.
