Chapter 1141: The Honor That Once Belonged to Him
"Don’t forget to inform your family before you leave, otherwise they’ll be very worried, okay?" Jimmy Evans reminded Sophie Walyon before heading to work.
Sophie stood at the doorway, watching his car drive away. As she was about to go inside, she suddenly thought of Watt Bennet.
She suspected Watt Bennet might be Adrian Walyon, but couldn’t fathom why, if he were Adrian, he wouldn’t return to the Walyon Family.
Unable to figure it out, Sophie resolved not to think about it. She skipped inside, grabbed her backpack, and headed to school.
...
Watt Bennet had a dinner appointment that night with several business clients.
After work, at six o’clock, he drove to the restaurant.
The group had reserved a table at a Chinese restaurant, and when he arrived, the others were already there.
"Mr. Bennet, you’ve arrived!" Everyone greeted him, and the group of business people began chatting together.
The dinner had barely started for ten minutes when a client suddenly said, "By the way, wasn’t Young Master Walyon supposed to come tonight? Why hasn’t he shown up yet?"
Watt Bennet paused slightly with the wine glass in his hand and casually asked, "Which Young Master Walyon?"
"It’s Jimmy Evans, Young Master Walyon! Right now, the Walyon Family only has Mr. Evans and the younger one. Adrian Walyon is already gone!" the person replied.
What he meant was that Adrian Walyon was no longer around, so when the upper society talks about Young Master Walyon, they exclusively refer to Jimmy Evans.
When Adrian Walyon was still present, he was the one everyone associated with Young Master Walyon, as if he was the true representative of the Walyon Family.
Now, his former identity and glory have passed on to Jimmy Evans.
As the group lamented Adrian Walyon, Jimmy Evans slowly appeared at the restaurant.
Spotting a few people from afar, Jimmy Evans walked over.
He seemed to have noticed Watt Bennet sitting there, and his gaze stayed on Watt Bennet as he approached.
Watt Bennet met his gaze, expressionless, with no fluctuations in his eyes.
When Jimmy Evans reached the table, the others began to introduce the two, "This is Mr. Watt Bennet from Shining Sky Group, a truly young and promising gentleman who has created sales legends that many couldn’t achieve in a lifetime."
"This is Mr. Jimmy Evans from Walyon Clan Group. Both of you are incredibly talented individuals!"
"We’ve met already," Jimmy Evans tersely told the introducer, his gaze unchanged on Watt Bennet’s face.
After staring at him for a moment, he slowly said, "A person as outstanding as Mr. Bennet doesn’t need to wear a mask, no matter what they look like. Such superficial things can’t hide your talent."
"I’m used to it," Watt Bennet casually replied, sitting back down.
Their seats were close to each other. With others liking to offer toasts, within two minutes of sitting down, the group urged Watt Bennet and Jimmy Evans to start toasting.
"You two have so much in common, both equally outstanding. After getting acquainted, you could become very close," they said.
Jimmy Evans did not reject their suggestion; he picked up his wine glass. However, Watt Bennet didn’t lift his own.
He didn’t seem inclined to oblige.
Standing there with his wine glass, Jimmy Evans didn’t expect this outcome and was momentarily stunned.
"Sorry, I don’t like alcohol," Watt Bennet said quietly and began eating.
His demeanor was cool and indifferent, with no intention of engaging with Walyon Clan Group.
