C10 A Man Who Was the Center of Attention!

Hazel also looked over. Many ladies present also looked over, including Layla!

When all the ladies saw this man, a trace of surprise flashed across their eyes. Even their breathing became cold. When they came back to their senses, they flushed red and forgot to breathe.

Many people started to look at Jacob with admiration.

After the initial shock, Hazel's expression returned to calm. She did not forget that she was the mother of a five-year-old child. There was nothing to look at. If she looked at him too much, she would cry.

"Mr. Phillips!" Chairman Cantu, the host of the party, quickly went up to greet him.

He was a middle-aged man. When he went up, he smiled so hard that his teeth could not be seen. The young lady beside him also quickly brought a tray up and handed it to Jacob.

Jacob glanced at her and picked up a glass of wine. His gaze swept across her body.

Hazel quickly looked back and saw that there was nothing worth paying attention to behind her. She definitely would not think Jacob was looking at her. Such a good-looking man, if he liked beauty, he could just look at his own face in the mirror every day. Why would he need to look at her?

However, when she turned around, there was nothing behind her.

When he looked at Jacob, his gaze had already landed on Chairman Cantu. Hazel silently glanced at the ceiling. It was probably an illusion. Jacob did not even look at her.

Chairman Cantu smiled and said, "Mr. Phillips, this is the first time you have participated in a cocktail party in six years. I am truly honored to have you here!"

Jacob was the chairman of the Phillip Group and the executive director of the company.

Phillips Group was the leader of the business and financial circle. If Jacob was the king of the business circle, then Jacob was the king of the kingdom.

However, Jacob had always kept a low profile. He did not like to participate in cocktail parties and press conferences. He was always very mysterious, so not many people had seen him before.

"You're too polite, Chairman Cantu. Jacob appreciates the philosophy of the Baya Group. I look forward to working with you in the future!" Jacob replied. His voice was magnetic and pleasing to the ears, causing the hearts of many ladies to race.

The bosses present were also stunned by Jacob's words.

Chairman Cantu was even more stunned. He widened his eyes in disbelief. He was so excited that he couldn't stand properly. Mr. Phillips said he wanted to work with them? This was a chance for them to make a fortune!

In the past few years, all the companies that had worked with the Phillip Group had made a profit. Their stocks had also increased by several times. Were they going to make a fortune?

Chairman Cantu was so excited that he almost had a high blood pressure attack.

A middle-aged man behind him, who was also one of the directors of the Baya Group, quickly supported him. "Chairman, calm down!"

Well, he was so excited that his eyes were about to tear up.

Chairman Cantu immediately calmed down. His hands were trembling as he clinked glasses with Jacob. He did not forget to maintain his etiquette. He had to put his glass lower than Jacob's, "Many thanks, Mr. Phillips, for your appreciation. I will drink to my heart's content!"

After he finished speaking, he drank all the wine in one gulp.

Jacob nodded and took a sip. Then, without saying anything else, he took his glass and walked towards the luxurious seats at the side.

After Chairman Cantu finished drinking, he took a sip, but no one felt that he was arrogant or did not know etiquette. Everyone felt that Chairman Cantu was really lucky. He was so excited that tears were flowing down his face.

Then, Chairman Cantu started to greet Grayson and Theodore.

Some of the bosses present also went to Jacob's seat. Some of them did not have the courage to provoke the cold-faced King of Hell. They were afraid that they would offend him if they failed to cooperate with him. Thus, they started to chat with Grayson and Theodore.

When they saw that Jacob had become the focus of the entire banquet the moment he entered, the eyes of those who were looking at Hazel like wolves and tigers became fixated on Jacob and the two young masters who had followed Jacob into the room. Hazel immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

In fact, she didn't like the feeling of being the focus of attention.

However, she couldn't help but glance at Jacob, who was sitting in a row of luxurious seats.
