The Runaway Groom By Hauling Treasures Chapter 410


    Chapter 410


    There were too many people in the wedding hall for Irene to track down Ricky.


    “Mr. Jefferson.” Someone approached Isaac Jefferson when he noticed Isaac just then–Isaac did not


    want to socialize, which was why he had brought Irene to a quiet corner in the wedding hall.


    “I heard that you left Light Group, so Isaac would suffice now, I believe? Honestly, Light Group is now a


    real mess, and after rumors swirled thatn Jefferson owes a mountain of debts, he was not heard


    from since… but I’m sure you know if it’s true, don’t you?”


    Everyone used to revere and feared Isaac in the business, because he was as swift as he was decisive


    and merciless.


    However, now that he left Light Group, there were those who believed that he was nothing–just like Mr.


    Little here who would address him by his first name.


    Moreover, aftern made such a serious blunder, the Jeffersons were no longer the dynasty from


    before and were far from untouchable.


    Isaac looked up coolly at Mr. Little right then and spoke with cool disdain. “Ask him yourself if you’re


    that interested.”


    “You’re his cousin, aren’t you? That’s why-”


    “Mr. Jefferson.” A man in a well–tailored suit joined them just then.


    Mr. Little looked up. When he saw that it was Mr. King, director Skyrock Productions, he promptly


    smiled.” Oh, if it isn’t the man of the hour! Surely the inte celebrities under yourbel are making


    you filthy rich, Mr. King?”


    Mr. King chuckled. “More or less.”


    “Now, now, there’s no need to be so humble. Everyone knows that Skyrock is the pioneer when it


    comes to inte culture. With things advancing so much on that front, none of us could take a bite out


    of your cake, let alonepete with you.” Mr. Little spoke with a note of irony.


    After all, he was involved in the business of tangible goods, and with the economy deteriorating by the


    year, businesses like his had to rely on inte celebrities to promote their products.


    To make things worse, they would barely get a cut of the revenue, while the inte celebrities would


    make off with the majority.


    Mr. Little was certainly eager to negotiate a deal where the top–billed inte celebrities working under


    Skyrock’sbel promote his products, while retaining a sizable chunk of the revenue. “Would you be


    free tonight to discuss the prospect of a partnership?”


    “Sorry, but I’m busy.” Mr. King promptly refused, while walking up to Isaac and asking, “Will you be


    coming. to the office, Mr. Jefferson? There’s something I would like to discuss.”


    Isaac’s style had always been to never doubt his own, and to distance himself from those he doubted.


    “It’s your call,” he simply said.


    “Very well, sir,” Mr. King replied and sat down beside him.


    Mr. Little was actually confused why Mr. King would show such deference to Isaac. After all, Mr. King


    undoubtedly eclipsed Isaac in position and reputation. Why would he ask Isaac… for permission?


    “Mr. King, are you partners with Isaac?” he asked.

    Mr. King gave him a look. “Nope.”


    “Then, what…?”


    “Mr. Jefferson owns Skyrock. Of course I would have to ask him when ites to important decisions,”


    Mr. King smiled.


    Mr. Little’s smug expression stiffened in turn–Isaac owned Skyrock?


    He still owned businesses after leaving Light Group?!


    “Ah, Isaac.” An elderly man approached as well. He used to top rich lists, and still carried authority


    despite being far past his prime, and everyone always showed their respects everywhere he went.


    Naturally, he addressed Isaac by his first name because they were equals despite Isaac being younger,


    and not out of rudeness.


    “I heard that you’ve founded apany issuing venture capital. It wouldn’t be sessful without


    abundant riches, and that makes you the most aplished amongst the young ‘uns.”


    Isaac actually rose from his seat in respect, pouring the elderly gentleman a drink and sharing a toast


    with him. “You tter me, Mr. Townsend–but your aplishment still stands tall.”


    Old Mr. Townsend shook his head and waved him off. “Nah, I can barely stand as it is. The world is


    now at the feet of you youngsters, while old people like us must make way.”


    Meanwhile, Mr. Little was left dumbfounded.All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Mr. Townsend was quite the character himself, but he was ttering Isaac to no end?


    Did he miss something?


    He asked gingerly, “Mr. Townsend, didn’t Isaac–I mean, didn’t Mr. Jefferson leave Light Group?” So


    how did Isaac manage to build an investmentpany and take ownership of Skyrock?!
