Getting $10 Trillion Out Of Nowhere

When everyone heard Rubin’s words, they immediately revealed a surprised expression and turned to look at Rubin.

“Rubin, what do you mean by that?”

Freya asked Rubin with a frown.

She, Jake, and the others did not have a good relationship with Rubin, so she knew that there was a deeper meaning behind his words.

“What I mean is very simple. 1 think it’s possible that Connor knows Christopher, but he definitely doesn’t know Joshua Qualls. This ‘Joshua’ must have been hired by Connor to act with him!” Rubin shouted at everyone.

When everyone heard Rubin’s words, they were all stunned on the spot. Their expressions were all of shock.

“Rubin, aren’t you going a little overboard with your words? Since Connor knows Christopher, why couldn’t he know Joshua?”

John naturally had to speak up for Connor. After all, this matter was related to his dignity.

“Connor knowing Christopher and knowing Joshua are two different things. Does knowing Christopher absolutely mean that he will know Joshua?”

Rubin did not give John any face at all and replied without any scruples. After hearing this, John was instantly stunned on the spot. The expression on his face became even uglier because he did not know how to answer Rubin’s question.

“I think that Joshua is an actor that Connor invited over. His purpose is to boost his reputation!”

Rubin did not hesitate in his reply.

When everyone heard his words, they flew into an uproar. Everyone revealed a shocked expression.

Moreover, many people were already guessing Joshua’s identity. Now that Rubin said this, these people felt that Joshua might be an actor hired by Connor.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on Connor. Even Sean, Laura, and the others had a trace of suspicion.

They felt that it was impossible for Connor to know Joshua. Even if he did, Joshua had no reason to come and give John a gift for Connor!

“Rubin, what right do you have to suspect Connor?”

Freya believed Connor without a doubt because she felt that he had no need to do such a thing.

“Why? Just because no one here knows Joshua and is not qualified to know Joshua, I can suspect him! How could Connor know a big boss that even my grandfather is not qualified to know? Unless this Connor is a rich second-generation heir with a heaven-defying background, 1 really can’t believe it!” Rubin replied confidently.

Although Rubin pretended that he did not know Connor, he had already investigated this matter with Zander. In his eyes, Connor was just a poor loser who delivered food for a living.

“Rubin, your words are going a little too overboard. How could Freya’s fiance do such a thing?” Brooklyn couldn’t help but stand up when he saw that the matter was getting out of hand.

“Grandpa, I don’t mean anything else. I just can’t stand people putting on an act here. Maybe I’ve worked in the government for too long and didn’t consider other people’s feelings when I said this!” Rubin replied indifferently and then returned to his seat. It seemed that he did not intend to continue arguing with Connor, John, and the others.

However, Rubin didn’t have to argue about this matter to begin with; the other guests present were very curious about whether the person who had just come to give gifts was Joshua Qualls or not!

To put it simply, these people were all waiting to see the Phillips family make a fool of themselves!

“Alright, don’t stand here anymore. Today is your birthday. Rubin’s words just now were indeed a little overboard, but he didn’t mean anything else.” Brooklyn patted John’s shoulder and tried to coax him with a smile.

John glared at Connor fiercely. At this moment, John also felt that ‘Joshua’ was probably an actor that Connor had hired. Otherwise, how could Connor know someone like Joshua!

“I didn’t expect this Connor to be so despicable. To think he’d stoop so low just to be in the limelight for a bit…” John thought before following Brooklyn back to his seat.

Rubin looked at Connor with disdain, although he did not expose Connor. However, at this moment, everyone present should have understood what was going on. Rubin did not intend to continue making a fuss because if he did, Connor wouldn’t be the only one who was humiliated—everyone in the Phillips family would, too.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes stood up and said to John with a smile,” Mr. Sean, 1 wonder what gift Joshua gave you. Why don’t you open it in front of everyone and take a look?”

In fact, many people were curious about whether Joshua was an actor invited by Connor, so asking John to open the gift for everyone to see was the best way to test it.

A boss with a net worth of tens of billions would definitely not be too stingy. As long as he saw what was inside, he could tell whether it was real or fake.

John stood there and hesitated for a moment. He seemed to be in a difficult position. This was because he didn’t know Joshua Qualls and had no relationship with him. If this person was really an actor hired by Connor, then the gift he gave wouldn’t be anything valuable.

Now that he had opened it in front of so many people, if the thing inside was just a street stall, then wouldn’t he really lose face?

“The CEO of Eon Investment Company is a big shot, so his gift definitely won’t be anything ordinary. Mr. Sean, let’s quickly open it and let us broaden our horizons!”

At this moment, the others also joined in.

Brooklyn and Gabriel looked at the crowd and sighed helplessly. This was because these people had followed Rubin here. At this moment, they were obviously helping Rubin.

John took a deep breath. Since so many people wanted to see what Joshua had given him, if he didn’t dare to open it, it would mean that he had a guilty conscience, and they would blame it on him.

Therefore, John could only bite the bullet and take out the gift box. At this moment, he was thinking that if the gift was from a street stall, he would teach Connor a lesson in front of all these people!

However, when the gift box was opened, everyone present was stunned. Their eyes revealed deep shock.

Even John’s hands trembled slightly, and the gift box in his hand almost fell to the ground.

“Hahaha!”

Rubin, who was not far away, laughed loudly. His expression was abnormally smug..
