Noella's POV

My body froze momentarily when my ears recognized the voice that had just been heard. Not only did I turn around, but all the people around us turned to see who it was. A woman with her hair rolled up and a very uncomfortable smile stood with her arms crossed over her chest.

Her presence was expected, making me uneasy to meet her like this. Moreover, Mr. Enrick's acquaintance here could have been embarrassed by that woman's words.

That woman was none other than Darren's lover. She looked at me as if she was looking down on my existence. Several people looked alternately at Emma and Mr. Enrick. Until one of them said something. "Miss Emma, you shouldn't say such nonsense. It's like you're lying to all of us if there's no proof. Did you deliberately want to say that for another purpose?"

Mr. Enrick and I were still silent, watching what other words Emma would say to everyone here. Even though I felt a little scared, I still tried to stay calm and follow Emma's game plan.

This made the guests enjoy the meal and the welcome standing up.Now we were sitting on one of the chairs in the front row, closer to the host of this party. Right now, I was feeling scared because of the incident in the toilet. I'm sure Mr. Enrick must have thought that I wouldn't be able to handle Emma well earlier. "Enrick, I apologise for what happened earlier."Unexpectedly, Mr. Enrick replied without looking at me coldly. "I don't need your apology, Noella." I paused for a moment at the words that came from his lips. Making me feel uneasy and restless."I've thought about your words, Enrick. I-" My words were cut off because Enrick glanced at me sharply. as if he wanted to tell me something. So, I paused and waited.I've thought about it, to decide not

I wandered around, and when I found Mr Enrick's figure, I immediately caught up with him by walking slowly and then standing beside him.Mr. Enrick glanced to the side and saw me. He whispered to me about what they were talking about. "We were talking about business." I smiled and nodded in understanding."I completely understand that many high-ranking businessmen attend this party. It's only natural that you would be busy with them." After hearing my answer, Mr. Enrick again turned his eyes to the people who were now in front of him.When I was alone, I looked at the table with drinks. I walked over and grabbed a glass of cold drink to refresh my throat. Relieved, I went back to searching for Mr Enrick's whereabouts, but my eyes found Darren and Emma, who were now walking towards me."How unlucky I am to meet them at a time like this. "I

They think that if I am humiliated and belittled, my confidence will disappear, and I will no longer be able to hold on to this position. Unfortunately, everything Mr. Enrick taught me, I already understood so that no one would be able to influence me anymore."You'll soon be banished by Uncle Enrick, Noella. Don't be happy with what you've got now. You are just a cheap woman." Emma laughed after saying her sentence, so satisfied at being able to insult me.Unfortunately, I wasn't affected by Emma's words.

I tried to calm Mr Enrick down so as not to reply too much to Emma and Darren. Mr. Enrick embraced me tightly again. He smiled as if satisfied when he saw the expressions of the two couples."Really? I'm not good at joking around. So, you guys should be careful now because that disgrace could easily be exposed." Mr. Enrick had changed very quickly, his face had now become cold again, and it didn't seem like he was joking with his words.I could see that Darren couldn't let his lover continue to be attacked by his uncle. Darren pulled Emma behind him, and now he was ready to speak. "Uncle, Emma just wants to help you. He cares about you so much because Noella doesn't deserve you."Again annoyed, Darren apparently still hadn't given up on his attempts to get rid of me.

It was nice that someone was paying attention to my current feelings. I really wanted to be honest with him, but I didn't. I didn't want to create a new problem by telling him how bad I was feeling.I smiled and replied, "I'm fine, Enrick. It's all because you're always helping me to deal with them.
