The sound of applause broke Sophie's reverie. She clapped along with the ballerinas as they left the stage. Meanwhile, the host returned to the center of the stage before praising the performance. Next, she greeted the guests again. She also announced the amount of funds that had been raised at the event, which was met with joyful applause from the audience."Now, I'm going to call on someone to make an equally exciting announcement for all of us. He is the financial manager of the Big Roodgroup company."Boom!A bomb seemed to explode in David's head. The man suddenly turned pale!"David, that woman is going to call you on stage. That's so awesome!""Honey, what announcement is she referring to? You didn't tell me anything earlier.""Oh Sophie, your boyfriend is so cool. Out of all the guests, he was the one chosen by the host to come up. Not to put on a silly show, but to make a happy announcement! My God, David, you really are an important person!"The praise should have made Davi

"Shut up you, Loser!" David pointed his index finger at Jack. "Stay out of this or I'll beat you to a pulp like that engagement night."Although David's voice sounded fiercely intimidating, he was actually holding back the terrible anxiety that exploded in his mind. He knew for sure that what Jack said was the truth. However, how could he let the pizza deliveryman bring down his pride.'I won't let people know the truth!' He is still being stubborn even though the situation is now too difficult."I didn't interfere. I'm just guessing. If it's wrong, you don't have to worry, David." Jack was about to pat David's shoulder. However, David dodged."Don't you dare touch me with your dirty hands. Whether it's a guess or whatever, you don't even have the right to speak. You loser!"As David was scolding Jack in a low voice, Lady suddenly exclaimed, "Oh look! Is that guy Ben Braxton?" Lady made her friends look toward the stage. "If that woman got the name wrong, there's no way anyone else w

Audrey smiled widely at Jack before refocusing on the stage. At that time, Audrey and the other guests laughed as the host prevented Ben Braxton from getting off the stage. In fact, Gloria Giles had already come down.The host then said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Braxton. Can I ask you one thing? I don't know why I often think about this when I daydream. While you're here, I won't miss the opportunity to ask.""Well, go ahead." Ben smiled politely."You must know that there are many businessmen attending this event. However, the business they run is certainly not comparable to that of Big Roodgroup. In fact, I always stop my car for a moment when I pass in front of that building. Do you know why I do that? Hahaha just to admire the architecture and grandeur of the Big Roodenburg building. It's amazing!""So, what would you like to ask, Miss?"The host laughed followed by more laughter from the guests. She continued, "You are in a hurry, apparently. Well, I won't go around anymore. Can you t

Jack was surprised at Audrey's action. He didn't think that she would yell out pointing out the 'thief' that was hiding.Not only Jack, the people right in front of Audrey's row of seats were also shocked, especially of course David.David gave Audrey a sharp look. He gritted his teeth as he hissed, "What's your problem with me huh?!" "Because you've dared to find trouble with my boyfriend!" Audrey's answer made Jack smile.David, on the other hand, became even angrier. He was about to curse and use Audrey. However, the spotlight was already on him. The man seemed to frown momentarily in the glare. 'Shit!' David clenched his fist.The auditorium went silent. Not only the colleagues, now all the invited guests were looking at David. Those who were far enough away from David stood up to see the face of the person Ben Braxton was talking about.David was like a criminal! He was surrounded!The man swallowed hard. His face grew pale with fear of punishment from Young Master Roodenburg.

Without any command from anyone, an invited guest interrupted the host's question before Ben could answer it."Kick him out!"That one sentence made David felt very threatened. What's more, the next shout was followed by the other guests.'Have they gone mad?' David thought as he gritted his teeth.Now, the order to kick David out of the auditorium echoed. David became even more intimidated. In his mind were all the bad things that might happen to him, if the incident of his expulsion from the charity event actually happened.As far as he knew, no one had ever been kicked out of a charity event organized by the Roodenburg family. So, he had a good chance of being the first. That meant, the news of his expulsion would very likely become the hottest topic in the community. That would mean that everyone in town would give her a bad name.On top of that, the difficulty in applying for a new job would be absolute for him. Then, how would he tell his parents about that?'I've been hiding m

As a result of his own actions, David received several kicks from the guards. In pain, he finally cried out for mercy. "Alright… Alright… I-I'll go," he whimpered."Good! Now stand up!" The guard had no more patience. Without waiting for David to get up, he tugged on the man's shirt collar. Judging from the way he treated David, he did intend to drag David out."Wait, sir.""What else? Do you want to get beaten up again huh?""No, no, I'm already almost dead. Forgive me and let me hold my girlfriend and we’ll leave this place together. I can't leave her."‘Damn bastard!’ Sophie looked away. She tried hard not to hit herself on the forehead.This was truly a nightmare for her! She had been holding back and trying not to get involved in the ruckus her boyfriend had created. But David didn't even give her a chance to escape greater embarrassment."Tell me, where's your girlfriend? Let us drag her out. You can mourn each other out there."Sophie swallowed, but she tried to remain calm. If

The charity event at Greenroad Villa was over. The place was deserted as the invited guests had gone home. The same was true for Jack, who drove Audrey to her place. They were laughing all the way as they recalled many things that happened during the charity night."You really taught them all a valuable lesson." Audrey gave both thumbs up."I just sat and watched. Everything that happened to them was their own karma.""But you're so, so cool." Audrey looked closely at Jack who was driving.Jack chuckled at that. "Believe me, you're probably the only one who said that to me.""Really? That's so weird. They're missing out on something so precious." Audrey propped up her chin, looking at Jack's face more intensely."Don't overdo it. What they did was very natural. I don't really stand out. Everything is normal."Audrey's heart melted. She had never met such a humble rich man. In fact, Jack was not only rich, but a super conglomerate. "Can I be your girlfriend?" murmured Audrey in a very
