Chapter 282:
The unexpected presence of these high-ranking officials had completely disrupted Jacoby’s carefully laid plans.
In his view, he had already sabotaged most of the exhibits at this exhibition. Even if Ashton and others attempted to salvage the situation, the displayed items could hardly retain any value.
Thus, all Jacoby needed to do was lead the media team to show the public how absurd Ashton’s much-hyped antique exhibition truly was.
After all, Ashton had boasted extensively about it being the grandest antique exhibition in Inewood’s history.
Jacoby merely needed to mock the event, and the unsuspecting netizens would naturally deride Ashton, thereby neutralizing Skyline Group’s advantage in public opinion.
However, all of Jacoby’s hopeful plans dissolved into nothing at that moment.
With such a congregation of high-ranking officials, how could he dare to speak out of turn?
Left with no alternative, Jacoby reluctantly resorted to his Plan B.
Jacoby stealthily sent someone to seek assistance from his brother, while simultaneously assigning another to unravel the mystery behind the sudden appearance of so many high-ranking officials.
A chilling thought crossed his mind. Could it be that, besides the Campbell family, Ashton had other, even more powerful backers?
As Jacoby grappled with anxiety, the whole of Inewood buzzed with activity.
Though intimidated by Sup Group, those curious about the exhibition hesitated to approach rashly, yet the event continued to capture public interest.

News that the mayor, Goodwin, had led a delegation to visit the exhibition quickly spread across various circles.
Not just families coerced by Sup Group, but even those who had previous conflicts with Skyline Group and the Campbell family and had vowed not to attend began to show signs of restlessness upon hearing the news.
Some companies even interrupted their meetings, swiftly directing their senior executives to rush toward the exhibition.
After all, such a convergence of high-level officials was exceedingly rare; who would dare to prioritize Sup Group’s threats now?
Thus, a common thought prevailed, fueled by the fear of missing an opportunity to make an impression on these influential visitors.
Initially quiet, the area around the exhibition hall began to buzz as people started arriving from all directions.
Even the roads leading to the venue experienced a sudden surge in traffic, resulting in long lines of vehicles.
In no time at all, the exhibition transformed into a hive of activity, exceptionally lively and bustling.
Upon witnessing the exhibition hall, which had been eerily deserted just moments ago, now teeming with life, a spark of joy ignited in Rosalie’s eyes, though she couldn’t quite pinpoint the reason for this sudden transformation.
