That made him fall into silence for a longer moment before Roderick taunted him, "Why is this taking so long? What's stopping you from making the order, Mr. Quinton?"Jonah's bland face turned extremely ugly instantly. He wished he could place the order right away to teach the scoundrel some lessons.However, the more he thought about the attempt, the more he called himself back to order. He was afraid of his fate if he dared to risk it by calling on the security officers.At this moment, all eyes were on Jonah, waiting for his order. But the rich heir only remained silent with a frown on his face.Then Bella said, "Mr. Quinton, I know you must be considering Roderick as Miss Santos's ex-husband. But I bet he doesn't deserve mercy! Let him learn some lessons today so he knows his place next time!"Roderick was amused by Bella's rant. He understood her pain so well. She had always despised him from the beginning. But the pain of Roderick ignoring her earlier that day was still feasting

Kate was about to step forward to the Big Four when Roderick slowly stopped her and whispered, "Why didn't you allow me to handle it, Miss Bolton? After all, it's my trouble."Kate was quiet for a moment, then agreed with him. She stepped backward gently, and Roderick confronted the Big Four."You're all elderly people. I expect you to find out about the other side of the matter before concluding."Roderick's point was more than a hard slap to their faces. The clearer meaning of his point was that the Big Four weren't wise enough as expected.This got them all angry at him.Caleb Houston was the first to speak, "Who the hell do you think you are to talk to us with so much disrespect!""Disrespect? When does addressing common sense become disrespectful?" Roderick retorted, adding to the madness of the Big Four.They felt that even if Clara was wrong, the way Roderick addressed them was rude and disrespectful, which said a lot about him already."I can't believe a nobody like you can be

Jonah began to beam with joy at the turn of events. He felt so fulfilled as he was able to successfully push the blame onto Roderick, and the Big Four agreed with him.He wasn't the only happy one; Clara and her people were also included.At this moment, they all couldn't wait to see Roderick face serious punishment and be ultimately humiliated.Arnold Taylor's face remained frowned as he turned a cold glare at Roderick. "I hereby announce..."He hadn't completed his statement when Kate's voice suddenly cut in. "I can't believe the Big Four could be so biased in judgment after seeing the whole truth with their own eyes. This is outrageous." Kate shook her head in disappointment.Arnold's mouth, which had remained open in the air, suddenly shut as his face instantly flushed with embarrassment.He was so embarrassed that he couldn't help but turn away from Kate, exchanging glances with his colleagues, who had turned pale too.Of course, they all knew the truth. They knew who deserved th

The Big Four's faces looked a bit unhappy as the party was about to start but they were unable to win Kate's heart yet.However, deep down in their minds, they just couldn't let this gorgeous woman slip away from them.The more they stared at Kate, the more they found her attractive and couldn't afford to lose her.It was as if there was a charm around her that kept their attention glued to her.Because they were unable to win her heart so easily, they believed she would eventually fall for them as soon as she found out how stinkingly rich they were.When you flaunt your wealth to a lady, her heart becomes your vault.To make this dream of theirs come to life, one of them offered to Kate, "Gorgeous, the party is about to commence. How about you come with us to the VIP table to witness what it's like to be worthy?"He said, passing a cold glare at Roderick.Kate scoffed as she understood his words. He was simply stating that they were of great worth, while Roderick was completely usele

The party was ongoing as the hall had become crowded with many celebrities and prominent figures of Glacia City. At this moment, the party had become very lively.Just then, the emcee returned to the stage and announced, "As the main event of this occasion is about to go live, let's all welcome the amiable Chairman of Ace Company to the stage.""What?!""Could this be true?!""Paul Ashley would be joining the party?!"Loud applause erupted in the hall instantly while people were in total disbelief at the news.They exchanged glances of shock as it was so unusual for Paul Ashley to show up at an event.The chairman is the very busy type whose time is not always on his side.Then, the crowd concluded that for Paul Ashley to show up at the event himself, the upcoming project must mean so much to Ace Company.Clara turned to her daughter in ultimate excitement. "Felicia, I must say today is a good day for us."A soft smile was plastered on Felicia's face as she nodded slowly. "Indeed, it'
