Timothy turned his head and saw Cassian behind him. Cassian was dressed in a white casual suit. His hair was neatly styled, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His features were sharp and handsome, and he held a champagne glass in his hand with a smile.Timothy glanced at Cassian and took in the insincere smile on his face. He smiled back mockingly and said, "Why… If it isn't Mr. Kramer? What's the matter? Do you need something from me?"Cassian scrutinized Timothy from head to toe and frowned slightly. Timothy's cheap outfit was completely out of place there. Moreover, what was he even doing here?Although Cassian regarded Timothy with disdain, he kept a polite smile on his face. "Timothy, there's an important event here today. People who have no business here aren't allowed to enter."Timothy scratched his head and grinned. "Sorry, but I'm not just anyone. My wife is here, and she asked me to come."With that, Timothy didn't even look back and strode confidently toward
Mavis felt an overwhelming urge to cry. She shouldn't have asked Timothy to come over. She glanced at his dirty coat, torn jeans, and the expression on his face, which only magnified her exasperationMany of the guests present also noticed Timothy, and without exception, they all frowned slightly. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes showed obvious disdain. Mavis' face turned bright red with embarrassment. She wished she could hide herself in a hole.Just then, a gentlemanly figure holding a glass of champagne walked over elegantly. Cassian had a polite smile on his face as he said, "Mavis, I had been busy downstairs and didn't have a chance to greet you. It's only been a few days since I last saw you, but you've become even more beautiful since then." Mavis smiled slightly and replied, "You're too kind, Mr. Kramer. There are plenty of ladies here today far more beautiful than me. It's young and talented people like you who are truly rare." A proud smile stretched
Mavis noticed Isabelle approaching too, which caused her to frown.The scene of Isabelle mocking and humiliating her in the courtyard that day was still vivid in her mind. Moreover, there had always been disputes among the prominent families.She and Isabelle had never gotten along, and she couldn't figure out what Isabelle wanted now.While Mavis was deep in thought, Isabelle had already strutted over in her high heels. She was dressed in a diamond-embellished hollowed-out strap dress that left her shoulders bare. Her long, wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she carried a white handbag. From head to toe, she exuded a distinguished elegance.Mavis' frown deepened. As their gazes met, a subtle tension seemed to fill the air.Mavis stayed silent, while Isabelle's beautiful eyes sparkled. She smiled warmly and greeted, "Ms. Jefferson, how have you been lately?"Mavis smiled slightly and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Ms. Barton. I've been doing very well."Isabelle
Timothy casually lit a cigarette. After a moment of silence, he smiled faintly and comforted Mavis. "Don't be so pessimistic. The outcome hasn't been decided yet. Don't worry. I have a feeling that this order will be yours."Mavis was stunned and looked at Timothy skeptically. "Why do you say that?"Timothy grinned cheekily and replied, "It is because your husband is blessed with good luck. If I say this order will be yours, it will definitely be yours."Mavis rolled her eyes. She had thought Timothy would say something of some value, but it turned out to be another instance of his unfounded rambling.She sighed softly, feeling a bit sorrowful inside. Other women found reliable men who could lend a hand when they were in trouble. But why did she end up with someone like him?While Mavis was lost in thought and dismayed, she didn't notice some "waiters" gradually closing in around her.But of course, their subtle movements didn't go unnoticed by Timothy.In recent years, Timothy
The man who kicked Timothy's leg felt as if he had kicked a steel beam. Timothy remained unfazed and unaffected. He, on the other hand, was in excruciating pain!The two men immediately sensed that something was wrong. Just then, a sinister laugh rang out."Having fun?"Their hearts missed a beat as they turned to look at Timothy, only to meet his cold and piercing gaze. They instantly felt an ominous sense of danger and tried to retreat, but Timothy's hands shot out like a vice and grabbed both of them by the throats. He lifted them up and smashed them onto the table full of wine and various food.The table was overturned, and the sound of bottles and dishes shattering rang out as the floor was instantly covered in broken glass and tableware. The loud noise immediately drew the attention of most people in the hall. Many pairs of eyes turned toward the commotion.The rest of Cassian's men exchanged glances, stunned by the scene before them. None of them had expected Timothy to
The woman who arrived was none other than Hannah Simpson, Zack's secretary. She was one of the highest-ranking figures in the Lormford Chamber of Commerce, second only to Zack himself.When Mavis saw Hannah's arrival, her expression turned into one of fright. She quickly pushed through the crowd and hurried over to Timothy. "You should leave now!" she whispered urgently.Timothy glanced at Mavis, confused. "Why should I leave?"Mavis was so anxious that she stomped her foot. "Don't ask so many questions! Just go when I tell you to! "Hannah is the secretary to the president of the Lormford Chamber of Commerce. She has an odd temper and can't tolerate the slightest flaw. Since you made such a mess here, she'll definitely come after you!"Timothy snorted coldly. "I wasn't the one causing trouble, so why would she come after me? I'm not leaving. I'd like to see what she'd do to me.""Timothy!" Mavis' chest heaved up and down out of sheer anger. She bit her lip and was almost on th
Cassian thought he would have the last laugh.This was Hannah Simpson, and she was the secretary to Zack Larson, the president of the Lormford Chamber of Commerce. So, she practically represented Zack himself.If she decided to make things difficult for Timothy, Mavis' presence wouldn't change a thing. Even if Timothy wasn't severely punished for the commotion, he would undoubtedly have a miserable outcome.Cassian looked at Timothy with malicious glee, his smile cold and sinister as he scorned inwardly, "Timothy, let's see how you'll embarrass yourself later!"He and a group of people hurriedly followed behind, eager to watch Timothy's humiliation unfold.Mavis' face paled as Hannah approached. Her heart sank to her stomach. She thought that everything was over—Hannah was coming after Timothy and holding him responsible.She glanced at Timothy and said in a trembling voice, "You need to leave now. Hannah is coming over."Timothy rolled his eyes and responded indifferently, "So
"Shut up!" Hannah scolded and raised her hand to slap Cassian across the face.The crisp sound silenced the entire banquet hall. Everyone stared in shock, including Mavis, who was utterly stunned.Cassian held his face and stared blankly back at Hannah. "Ms. Simpson… Why did you hit me?"Hannah looked at him coldly, her tone icy. "Because you don't know your place!"As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at Timothy. A fleeting trace of respect flashed in her eyes.Without showing any emotion, Hannah looked around at the shocked onlookers and said calmly,"This gentleman just said it wasn't him causing trouble—I believe him. It's obvious that a group of men tried to gang up on him. They deserved to be beaten up."Mavis was completely taken aback. She hadn't expected such a turn of events.Amidst the crowd, Isabelle's eyes also widened in astonishment. Just a moment ago, she thought Timothy would be in deep trouble. But now, not only did Hannah choose to believe him, but sh
