Chapter 61
Richard was in charge of the global economy and was in attendance on behalf of the Hampton family. Why would the guests care about the argument between the children?
Everyone took the opportunity to try to surround Richard and make small talk.
However, Richard’s special assistant followed behind carefully and sensed his boss was a bit angry. Hence, he gently waved his hand to ward off the approaching guests.
The entire banquet hall fell silent.
All sorts of gazes were fixed on Richard.
Richard’s gaze was deep and cold, like a bottomless frozen lake. His terrifying aura did not diminish, and all the guests in the banquet hall could sense his danger, and their palms became sweaty.
Coincidentally, a pink paper fell from the ceiling
Richard reached out and gently pinched the paper.
This simple action was done highly elegantly. This was the nobility exuding from his bones, like a god. He was born out of reach and unattainable.
Richard lowered his eyes and glanced at the contents of the paper.
The letter was very simple. It just had a girl’s bright smile and a reminder about looking after one’s body because the weather was changing.
It was an ordinary sentence written in a note.
But..
Why did thi
did this make people feel uncomfortable? Richard wondered.
Hence, his expression darkened even more.
The people in the banquet hall looked at each other, seemingly besitant. They all wondered who would speak up the odd atmosphere..
to break
On the other hand, Alexia stood up and said smugly, “Mr. Richard, do you also think the person who wrote these love letters is shameless? Why did she have to seem despicable to please my brother?”
“I beg your pardon?”
Richard looked at Alexia. He raised his thin and tightly pursed lips, and a half-smile tugged across his devilishly handsome
face
His gaze was so cold that it even carried a hint of murderous intent. Unfortunately, Alexia could not understand it. She continued as if she had been encouraged to.
“I’ve never seen a young lady as shameless as her. She cooked and folded paper stars and cranes. My goodness, who cares about such trash
As she spoke, Alexia glanced at Tiffany arrogantly.
It was as if she was saying, “You’re finished!’
Tiffany ignored her. She raised her head and was about to say something when she met Richard’s deep and probing gaze,
Richard must’ve been very disappointed in her….
After all, the Hampton and the Harper families were relatives, and because of her influence, this birthday banquet was more or less unsuccessful.
Tiffany could even feel the barely suppressed anger emanating from Richard’s body.
Alexia was even more pleased with herself.
Richard thoughtfully said, “She wrote a love letter, made tars, and made breakfast?”
“Exactly, that’s right. I’m dying of laughter. She’s so shameless. I wonder why my parents taught her..”
Before Alexia could finish her mocking statement, she was interrupted by Richard.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I would also want such a reasonable girl.”
He said this meaningfully, and every word was clear and powerful.
The statement was like a wave in the calm sea, shocking everyone!
Tiffany was even more stunned.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Richard, only to see a faint smile on his lips. His deep gaze pierced through the sea of people before him and quietly landed on Tiffany
This gesture was intended to protect Tiffany.
Suddenly, a slither of hope shone into Tiffany’s silent heart. It
She finally welcomed a trace of warmth into the dark corner she had deliberately forgotten.
Although Alexia’s move was despicable, it was also brilliant because Tiffany had to admit that she had written those letters and made the stars and cranes.
What was originally a simple loving gesture had been misinterpreted and became a mocking joke!
Kenneth was among the people who laughed at Tiffany because he felt ashamed.
However, Richard turned out to be the person who had protected her, yet he had nothing to do with this matter.
“What’s the meaning of love?
It is something that no longer exists because it was t**led on
‘Countless people have bullied and humiliated me for it. Finally, someone has stood up for me and said…
I am worth it. Tiffany smiled slowly.
At this moment, Charlie, who Romeo had pulled aside to do some strategizing behind the banquet hall, rushed over. His expression instantly turned extremely ugly when he saw the paper on the ground.
He had brought his daughter here to celebrate Romeo’s birthday, not to be humiliated!
Charlie was furious. He glared at Alexia and pulled Tiffany’s hand. “Let’s go. They don’t like us so much; that’s fine. Let’s go home
The Harper family members finally rushed over. Romeo grabbed Charlie and advised, ‘Charlie, calm down. I’ll avenge
Tiffany!”
After saying that, Romeo was so angry that he banged his walking stick on the floor. He looked at Alexia, and his face turned ashen. “Take this silly girl away so she can reflect on herself!”
“Dad, it’s your birthday today. Don’t be angry.”
Ryan went forward to support Romeo. He turned around and glanced at his wife. Mrs. Harper immediately dragged Alexia away, but she was indignant and still wanted to struggle.
“All of you are so troublesome!”
Romeo was furious. When he looked at Charlie again. Romeo noticed that he and Tiffany had not left. However, it was obvious that they could not negotiate what they had just discussed.
Romeo made many concessions and promises to persuade the Kelley fanfily not to call off the engagement.
These promises were nothing more than to let Tiffany marry into the Harper family and not suffer any grievances. This included Sandra, who had been pestering Kenneth. Romeo would also think of a way to get rid of Sandra.
No one could threaten Tiffany’s status.
However, Alexia’s actions made Charlie deeply understand that it didn’t matter whether Romeo would dismiss other women who wanted Kenneth. Alexia, his granddaughter, was a problematic character who could publicly embarrass Tiffany!
What would happen if Tiffany really married Kenneth in the future!
If she really suffered, the Harper family would definitely protect their own family. Then who would care about his daughter, Tiffany?
Therefore, Charlie didn’t care if the occasion was right or wrong. He said directly, “Mr. Romeo, we’ll just pretend that what we just said didn’t happen.”
Romeo did not nod or shake his head. He only looked at Kenneth with a sorrowful gaze and said in a voice that was almost a sigh.
“Grandson, in the future, you will really understand the importance of this. Then, you’ll probably know how s**d you are being…
Kenneth did not say anything.
Kenneth was not too far away to clearly see the love letters Alexia arranged to fly everywhere.
Kenneth’s scoundrel friend ridiculed him and said, “Hey, do you really not like her? She’s beautiful and loyal to you. You have to cherish her!”
Kenneth had always cared about his reputation. He immediately refused when he heard this.
Hence, ever since the paper love letters dropped, Kenneth did not stand up and saya word.
Right now, as a young man, Kenneth really could not understand the deeper meaning behind Romeo’s words.
By the time he truly understood, it would already be too late.
This small interhude passed quickly. The hotel staff quickly cleaned up the papers on the ground.
Although not everyone was joyful, the birthday banquet still had to go on.
Moreover, when the birthday banquet officially began, all the Harper family members kowtowed to Romeo.
Alexia had angered Romeo and was forcibly sent to her room, so she was absent.
This time, no one dared to cause trouble for Tiffany.
Tiffany originally wanted to thank Richard. After all, the big shot had just helped her out. However, all the big names in business had gathered, so Tiffany tactfully did not proceed.
However, there was someone who was not afraid of death who came to look for her.
“Tiffany, I’ve thought it through.”
Sandra found Tiffany and sat on the chair in front of her. She handed Tittany a drink and sighed. “Tiffany, in the future… I won’t go against you anymore.”
