Chapter 637: Harold Phillips
This girl, who everyone called Laila, was Laila Williams.
She was the big sister of the group of girls. These girls had always been very obedient to Laila.
When everyone heard Laila’s words, they followed suit and said, “That’s right, Laila. You have to persuade Sabrina. If she just enjoys herself with him in university, then it’s fine. But if they really get together, the two of them are from different worlds, so even if they really get married in the end, they won’t be happy…”
Laila looked at everyone and nodded slightly. Then, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Connor. No one knew what she was thinking.
Laila had already graduated from university and was working in her father’s company.
Back then, when she was in university, she had also met a guy. The boy’s family background was not very good. In order to be with this guy, Laila quarreled with her family for a long time before finally getting her family to agree to them getting married.
However, before they could get married, they broke up because of some problems.
Laila later found out that the guy just wanted her money and to sleep with her.
The guy tried his best to sleep with Laila, but she had always insisted on waiting until they got married.
Seeing Laila’s persistence, the boy decisively chose to give up and ran away with another girl.
Laila was also ridiculed by everyone for a long time because of this matter.
She felt that all men were like this, so she hated men very much now.
Of course, Connor did not know that he was being targeted. He was still chatting happily with Sabrina.
On the other side, at the entrance of the Grand Hotel.
A black Hummer SUV stopped at the entrance of the hotel.
A muscular young man in a white suit jumped out of the Hummer and turned to ask his companion, “Are you sure that Sabrina will come today?”
“Harold, don’t worry. I’ve already made a call to confirm it. Sabrina is in the hall now. There won’t be any problems…”
“Alright, let’s go in…”
The young man nodded and walked straight into the hotel.
There were quite a lot of people attending the auction today, but in the end, they were divided into two groups.
The people standing in the middle of the hall were some big shots in Porthampton. They came to the auction today to expand their social circle and look for opportunities for cooperation.
Sometimes, a huge business deal worth tens of millions was negotiated at such a gathering.
In the corner of the hall stood a large group of young men and women. Most of these young people had come with their parents to participate in the auction.
The reason why they came to this auction was just to broaden their horizons.
In the circle of young people, Sabrina and Sadie, two very beautiful girls, naturally attracted a lot of attention.
The girls there had many admirers, but Sadie and Sabrina were probably the ones with the highest number of admirers.
When the young people saw Sabrina and Sadie surrounding Connor, they all felt puzzled.
Because they really couldn’t understand who Connor was to be able to make two great beauties surround him at the same time.
“Who is that guy?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never seen him before. He’s probably not a local in Porthampton!”
“He’s definitely not a local. If he was a local, I would have definitely seen him before. But 1 can see that he seems to be very close to Sabrina.”
Everyone began to discuss in low voices.
However, at this time, some people recognized Connor. After all, Connor was studying at Porthampton University.
Many of the people attending the auction today were students from the Porthampton University.
“That guy is a student in Porthampton University. I heard that his family is quite poor…”
One of the boys said in a low voice.
“Bro, are you kidding me? If that guy’s family was really poor, why would Sabrina be with him?”
Another boy quickly retorted.
“I don’t know why she would like him, but a few days ago, at our school’s welcoming party, Sabrina hugged him in front of everyone…”
At this moment, a youth with a buzz cut said enviously.
“Are you two joking with me?”
“Why would I joke about this… Of course, I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can go to our school and ask around. Anyone who attended the cultural gala knows about this…”
“Oh my God, is Sabrina crazy?”
“Why would she like such a person?”
“That’s right. That guy doesn’t look like a rich person. The clothes he’s wearing are just street goods…”
“I didn’t expect our Goddess Sabrina to be snatched away by this guy. This guy is really brave…”
At this moment, many of Sabrina’s admirers were furious when they found out that she was with Connor.
After all, they had been pursuing Sabrina for a long time, but they had never succeeded.
At this moment, Sabrina was actually taken by a poor kid who came out of nowhere. They must be very jealous!
“Don’t worry. If Harold finds out that Sabrina is with this kid, he will definitely not let this kid off. We’ll have a good show to watch then…”
One of the young men laughed.
“That’s right. It’s a pity that Harold isn’t here today. If Harold was here, then it would be an interesting night…”
They really wanted to watch a good show.
The Harold that everyone was talking about was actually the Harold that Dominic Turner had reminded Connor about back then. This Harold was also a member of the Phillips Family.
Harold Phillips relied on his relationship with the Phillips Family and had always been very arrogant and despotic.
Harold had once broken the legs of a guy who was pursuing Sabrina, and that guy had never appeared since then. Some even said that Harold had already killed that guy.
This matter quickly spread in the circle. From then on, even if many people secretly liked Sabrina, they did not dare to compete with Harold.
Because they knew very well that offending Harold meant disaster!
