The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 909

William immediately wiped that arrogant expression off his face when he heard that the man was Uncle Oscar.

Back when he was still studying in Aurous Hill, he had learned about the powerful Moore family and their top position in the social pyramid in the city, s

Although he was a renowned businessman in Hong Kong with a net worth of hundreds of millions, he was incomparable to the Moore family. Their fortune was worth at least hundreds of billions of dollars, a hundred times higher than his, so even the status of their butler was higher and more powerful than his. 7

Paul was a little flattered and taken aback by Uncle Oscar's appearance in the suite.

Oscar smiled and said, "Mr. Paul, the Moore family and you go way back. When the family first operated their export business in the US, I accompanied Lord Moore to look over the operations and whenever we encountered any legal problems, it was your father who solved it all for us. Frankly, our Lord Moore and your father shared a personal friendship, but you may not be clear about these because you were stil in school at the time." 5

Then, Oscar added, "Therefore, to the Moore family, you're their life savior's son. We can't neglect your needs and services, for it will reflect on our hospitality

and manners."

Paul nodded gratefully. "Uncle Oscar, please thank Lord Moore on my behalf and please convey my message to him. I may be a little busy these days, but after I've settled the matter and my company slowly sets sail in Aurous Hill, I'll visit him personally." i

Uncle Oscar smiled warmly. "Of course. Please contact me, I'll arrange the time and venue. Anyway, I don't want to be a bother. I'll ask the kitchen to serve your food now." 1

Paul said, "Alright, I need to go too, let us leave together."

"Okay." Oscar nodded.

Before Oscar and Paul left the suite, William hurriedly marched forward and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Oscar, I am William Pearson from Hong Kong Hulsite Trading Company. Nice to meet you!" Oscar glanced at him skeptically and said, "I beg your pardon, but I don't have an inkling about the company. May I know if you have a collaboration with the Moore family?" 6

William quickly bowed slightly and said in a gracious tone, "Oh no. To be honest, Mr. Oscar, I have always hoped to work with the Moore family but I have not had the chance to do so. I hope that you could help introduce me to them if possible." s

Oscar smiled in a diplomatic manner. "Thank you for your kind words, but the family's requirements for their partners are very high. With all due respect, if even I have never heard of the company, I doubt that the family will consider a collaboration with them." 5

For a professional butler like Oscar, who had been working with a powerful family for many years, it was part of his job scope to familiarize himself with the entire family's business and also have a certain level of understanding of top and large companies across the country.

If he had not heard of the company's name before, it meant that it was a small-scale and second-rate company that was impossible to work with a large family like the Moore family, s

William froze awkwardly. He didn't expect to hear such a simple and direct rejection from Oscar despite his polite and diplomatic response. He dared not express any dissatisfaction although he was frustrated, and said respectfully instead, "I'm sorry, Mr. Oscar, it is very irrational of me!"

Then, he sat down sheepishly, feeling his face burning in embarrassment. If he knew this was his answer, he would not have humiliated himself like that. Not only did he not gain any benefits, but he had also tarnished his own image in front of his college mates. 7

Oscar nodded slightly to him as a response, looking majestic and arrogant. It was rather normal though, because he had long been a respected upper-class figure in Aurous Hill.
