Chapter 37
Connor noticed Chloe pull out that card, and his thoughts began to swirl. How did Chloe get her hands on that card? Neither the Meadows family nor the Moncada family would ever qualify for such a card.
The Royal Golf Course sprawled expansively, nestled between mountains and a serene lake, offering breathtaking views. While the people around Connor were already gripping their clubs, eager to start, Connor chose to sit down at the pavilion. A waiter brought him a sandwich and a plate of fine dessert. He was used to having his breakfast here. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Standing a bit away, Linda observed Connor, who seemed to be like a god of another world. Dressed in casual black attire, he looked strikingly handsome, his well-defined hands casually picking up the sandwich. Even the way he ate was elegant, exuding a kind of lazy grace. He had a demeanor similar to Chloe's—an effortless confidence born from a life of privilege.
Linda approached. “Mr. Connor, may I sit here?”
Connor looked up to see a young girl standing by the chair next to him.
“This is a public lounge area, Mrs. Moncada. Make yourself comfortable,” he replied, his voice neutral and polite yet with a hint of detachment and aloofness.
Linda took the seat. “Mr. Connor, I actually came here specifically to find you.”
Connor remained indifferent. “Mrs. Moncada, what do you need?”
“Please, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Linda, a news reporter from Riverbrook TV Station. We would like to arrange an exclusive interview with you about the Paradise Resort project.”
Linda felt a bit nervous.
Connor didn’t even look up, replying indifferently, “I’m not interested.”
“Mr. Connor, the Paradise Resort project is about to launch. You’ll need publicity to attract investors. As far as I know, you are the recognized sole heir to Sartori Corporation. Still, your two sisters currently hold significant positions in the company and are at odds with you. What you need most right now is a chance to prove yourself to your father. That’s why you chose the Paradise Resort project and have been laying low here for three years. This project is crucial for you.”
Connor turned to give Linda a cool glance. “You seem well-informed about my family.”
Linda felt a bit intimidated by his gaze, her heart racing, but she mustered the courage to continue. “Riverbrook TV Station is the most authoritative traditional media outlet locally. We are willing to cooperate with you, Mr. Connor. Whenever you need media support in the future, we can provide it. This is definitely a win-win situation.”
Connor stayed silent, seemingly deep in thought.
Just then, a lively noise erupted from ahead. Some people had started playing golf. Linda's gaze followed the commotion, and she saw Chloe, surrounded by a group of aristocratic young men, swinging her golf club. She stood tall, her swing elegant and precise, captivating the onlookers. The eyes of the surrounding young men were practically glued to her.
A flicker of jealousy crossed Linda's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. Just as she was about to continue speaking, Connor had already stood up and started walking towards the commotion.
As soon as he arrived, he heard Devon's praising voice. “Beautiful! Ms. Chloe, are you a professional golfer? Maybe I should take lessons from you.”
Chloe smiled charmingly. “You flatter me. It’s just a hobby.”
“What are you all doing?” Connor asked.
