Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Changed His Mind?
As soon as the meeting ended that day, Kyle Keaton had just returned to his office when Miles Jacobs hurried in.
"Lord Keaton, here!"
Miles Jacobs handed over an invitation card.
"Whose birthday is it now?"
Kyle Keaton didn’t take the invitation card.
His expression was cold, making Miles feel that he was still angry about what happened at Old Master Jacobs’ birthday banquet last time.
But Miles kept his smile intact.
"It’s not a birthday. This time it’s a charity auction hosted by our family."
Lately, the scandal stirred up by Nathan Jacobs has brought shame upon The Jacobs Group, not to mention the fluctuating stock price.
As a result, Miles Jacobs decided to host a charity auction to divert public attention and improve The Jacobs Group’s image.
"As soon as the invitation card was printed, it was delivered to you. Would you kindly attend?"
Miles spoke in a somewhat humble tone.
Kyle Keaton understood.
He also knew that Miles Jacobs was trying to apologize for last time.
However, Kyle Keaton still wasn’t very interested.
"You should know that even The Keaton Family’s auctions, I’ve never attended."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hope in Miles Jacobs’ eyes faded.
Just like Kyle Keaton said, he knew that Kyle Keaton, despite being famous in Esteria and within the country, rarely appeared in public.
Even at their family’s auctions and banquets, his presence was seldom seen.
It’s like a ghost, many have heard of him, but few have seen him in person.
That’s also why, despite staying in Westmarch for so long, he hasn’t been discovered by anyone.
"Alright then..."
"Take it away."
"Oh."
Since the benefactor had spoken, Miles Jacobs knew that further persuasion couldn’t change anything.
So, he picked up the invitation card and prepared to leave.
Just as he was about to open the door, the man’s cold voice suddenly came from behind.
"Forget it, leave the invitation card."
As soon as he finished speaking, Miles Jacobs’ eyes brightened considerably.
"Why the sudden change of heart?"
Though he asked, he handed over the invitation card without hesitation.
"I want to take someone out to unwind."
Kyle Keaton took the invitation card and directly placed it in the drawer.
Miles Jacobs had quickly caught two vital words from his mouth—"someone."
"Take Mrs. Keaton?"
Though it was a question, Miles Jacobs used a definitive tone.
Because he had never seen Kyle Keaton care about anyone else’s emotions besides July Quinn.
Although Kyle Keaton didn’t answer, Miles Jacobs could see the answer from his expression.
He was indeed taking Mrs. Keaton.
"Is Mrs. Keaton feeling down? I thought her work and life seem to be going quite smoothly recently."
While Miles Jacobs had not seen July Quinn recently, many things about her had been posted online.
For instance, the "Creation Camp" show she produced had several viewership records broken, Esteria TV wanted to purchase exclusive broadcasting rights, and even wanted other collaborations with July Quinn, which had trended several times.
Regarding The Jacobs Group, although July Quinn had been on leave and not coming to work, Miles Jacobs kept her position unchanged, and her salary was paid as usual.
As for Lord Keaton, he seemed to be taking good care of July Quinn.
So from what Miles Jacobs could see, there shouldn’t be anything that would make July Quinn unhappy.
But Kyle Keaton didn’t want to respond to this question.
Because it was him who had bullied July Quinn, which made her unhappy.
For several days, July Quinn hadn’t shown him a kind face.
So, he directly changed the topic: "Go and fetch the latest progress report."
Although Miles Jacobs was nosy, he was also perceptive, knowing perfectly well that Lord Keaton didn’t want to discuss this topic with him.
So, he immediately left to retrieve the progress report.
Once Miles Jacobs left, Kyle Keaton opened the drawer again.
Picking up the invitation card, his mind flashed back to the scene of losing control that night...
Anyway, he bullied her; he ought to make amends, shouldn’t he?
He patted the invitation card and sent a message to July Quinn.
