Chapter 661 Corporate General Manager
661 Corporate General Manager
"Alright, everyone, let's not just stand here. Let's go and cut the cake!"
After seeing the somewhat awkward expression on Connor's face, Sabrina quickly shouted.
"Yeah, let's go and cut the cake quickly..."
Penelope quickly followed and said, then turned and shouted towards the kitchen, "Aunt Willow, please bring out the cake I ordered..."
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper in Sabrina's home quickly brought out a large cake.
The cake had a total of five layers, each adorned with various fruits and candles.
After the cake was brought out, Penelope turned off the lights in the hall and lit the candles.
Seemingly forgetting what had just happened, everyone gathered around Sabrina and started singing the birthday song. She placed her hands in front of her chest, closed her eyes, and began making a wish.
But no one noticed that when she was making her wish, she slowly opened her eyes and looked towards Connor's direction.
No one knew what wish she made, but it definitely had something to do with him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have looked in his direction.
Soon, Sabrina finished making her wish.
After making her wish, she blew out all the candles in one breath, and then everyone started dividing the cake.
However, Sabrina's mother, Penelope, noticed something. After Sabrina finished cutting the first piece of cake, she unexpectedly handed it to Connor first.
This made Penelope feel a little puzzled because Sabrina's relationship with Connor's friends didn't seem to be very good. But she seemed to be quite interested in him.
Harold also seemed to notice this scene and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
But at that moment, the entrance gate of the villa was opened again, and a middle-aged man accompanied by several bodyguards entered the villa.
Sabrina instinctively turned her head to look at the entrance and her face instantly became excited.
She quickly walked up to the middle-aged man and happily exclaimed, "Dad, why are you here?"
Sabrina's father?
Upon hearing this, Connor couldn't help but turn his head and take a glance.
He found that the person who came in was a middle-aged man in a suit, who gave off an extremely refined and elegant vibe, like a respected professor.
But the middle-aged man was accompanied by several bodyguards, indicating that his identity was definitely not simple.
After all, not everyone goes out with bodyguards.
"Darling, I'm late today. Are you not angry?" the middle-aged man asked Sabrina with a smiling face.
"Of course, I'm not angry. Mom said you were still in Salem. I didn't expect you to come back..." Sabrina replied, clearly surprised by her father's presence.
"How could I not come home for my daughter's birthday? I specifically flew back by helicopter..." the middle-aged man said affectionately while looking at her. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Sabrina's friends also wore expressions of confusion upon hearing these words. They had known Sabrina for a long time, but had never seen her father. Some said that her father had already passed away, while others claimed that she was an illegitimate child and her father had abandoned her. There were various rumors.
Sabrina had never mentioned her father's situation to others.
The reason was very simple, her father was the CEO of an international company, so he often stayed abroad and rarely returned to the country. The number of times he met Sabrina was also very few.
As for why she didn't actively talk about her father with others, it was because she had been kidnapped when she was very young.
After all, with her father being so wealthy, there were naturally many kidnappers eyeing Sabrina.
Later, her mother had no choice but to bring her back to Porthampton to live. Coupled with Sabrina's father always being abroad, she managed to escape the attention of those kidnappers.
"Charles Ziegler!"
At that moment, Sheldon seemed to recognize Sabrina's father and muttered softly.
"Are you talking about the Mr. Charles?"
Upon hearing Sheldon's words, Laila's expression became extremely shocked, and she couldn't help but turn to him and ask.
"That's right, it's Mr. Charles. I saw him once at my grandfather's birthday banquet, but I never expected him to be Sabrina's father. It's really unbelievable..."
Sheldon nodded slightly.
Upon hearing these words from Sheldon, everyone was dumbfounded, their mouths wide open, their expressions extremely shocked.
After all, they had heard about Mr. Charles' story.
Back then, there were two tyrants in Porthampton. The first was Thomas under Steven's command, and the second was Charles!
Back then, Thomas and Charles were in competition, and the two of them could be said to have divided the whole world of Porthampton.
But in the end, it seemed that Charles lost to Thomas and could only leave Porthampton with his wife and daughter.
During his peak, Charles could definitely compete with Thomas. From this, one could see how powerful Charles was back then.
But in a place where there can only be one winner, Charles ultimately lost to Thomas.
He had no choice but to sell all his assets to Thomas and leave Porthampton.
However, even after leaving Porthampton, Charles still made a name for himself in Salem and was now the CEO of a large corporate.
"I heard that Charles is now the regional corporate general manager of a large corporate. I never expected him to be Sabrina's father..."
Sheldon exclaimed in astonishment, and his gaze towards Sabrina seemed to have undergone a great change as well.
After all, it was rumored that Charles had left with his wife and daughter, but no one knew that Charles, in order to protect his wife and daughter, had left alone and left his wife and daughter in Porthampton.
At this moment, everyone's gaze towards Sabrina also underwent a great change. After all, in their eyes, Sabrina was just a pretty face with a little money in her family.
But no one expected that her identity would be so powerful, that she was the daughter of the famous Charles Ziegler!
Even Harold himself was shocked, his face full of astonishment. It seemed that even Harold himself had not expected Sabrina's background to be so terrifying.
As for Connor, he squinted his eyes and looked at Charles's position, his expression very calm.
After all, Connor was different from the others. He had only known Sabrina for a short time and didn't know much about her, so he was definitely not as shocked as Sheldon and the others.
