The scene was silent for a full minute, no one spoke, and the awkward atmosphere almost froze the air in the venue.
Gary turned his head and said apologetically to Chloe White, "I'm sorry, Chloe, whether we can cooperate depends on my boss's decision."
"It's okay, Gary, I'm just here to invite you to my party today. Let's discuss business in the meeting room later. Today, let's just enjoy this wonderful evening." Chloe White was certainly not foolish enough to offend Gary and didn't want to continue the previous topic.
If that topic continued, she'd be the one left embarrassed.
Chloe White wanted to move past the previous incident, and the other guests cooperated as if nothing had happened.
However, the atmosphere on-site couldn't become lively again.
Just moments ago, everyone was focused on Chloe White, and now... everyone was turning towards the Clark family's father and son. After all, the Clark Corporation had partnerships with Peace Group.
