The Unwanted Husband Strikes Back

12. Pour Some Wine For Me!

At that moment, almost the entire room turned to Danny with astonishment. Why was this young man so defiant and fearless?

"How arrogant are you, Danny? What can you rely on after almost all areas of livelihood for you were closed? Even the supporters of the Huxley family are firmly saying that being a toilet cleaner is not worthy of their company!" Matthew said this while standing at his waist and squinting at Danny.

Matthew then said to the guests with his head up, "Ha ha ha, this man should be grateful for being accommodated in the Huxley family so well, but he wasted it. Now that almost every industry in the city has blocked him, what should he do to survive? Is it to rely on his ability to fight and become a personal bodyguard , right?"

Everyone laughed at Matthew's words. They had all seen how good Danny was at defeating Grandma's personal bodyguards, so the job of a personal bodyguard was perfect for him.

But he didn't have the connections for that. Matthew told Danny this simply to clarify that Danny was nothing without the Huxley family.

While everyone was laughing at them, a woman with long legs walked over, her high heels making a tapping sound that attracted attention.

The guests, especially the men, froze and turned to her without blinking. The woman was about 170 centimetres tall, her hair neatly braided in the style of a banking clerk. She wore a mini dress that showed half her thighs under a knee-length blazer. She was estimated to be in her mid-thirties.

That's when Desmond and his son immediately greeted and shook her hand. They both looked like sycophants looking to get a promotion.

"Welcome to our party, Miss Bennet," Desmond said politely.

The woman smiled briefly, then approached Grandmother and bowed to hand over a wood-patterned box. "Happy birthday, Mrs. Victoria Huxley. I apologize for my tardiness. Please accept this classical calligraphy painting as a gift to you. I represent the Phoenix Crest group and wish you good health and a long life."

The old lady of the Huxley family smiled and looked at the gift the woman in front of her had given her. The calligraphic painting, made with goatskin and black and gold ink, was an elegant gift, and Grandmother loved it.

"Miss Bennet, I seem to have inconvenienced you. It's already a blessing for me to have someone like you come here, and this gift is no trouble to you?"

"There is nothing inconvenient, Madam. I heard you like antiques, so I came to an auction and hoped you would like it," said the elegant lady politely.

Someone bought a classical calligraphy for over three million dollars at an auction. The treasure-crazy Grandmother cherished this gift and thought it was the most expensive gift she had received on her 70th birthday.

Dennis White silently watched her. Her pointed chin, almond eyes and full lips really caught his attention. He wanted to get a chance to ask her out.

Dennis White approached Desmond Huxley and began to whisper, "Mr. Huxley, who is that beautiful woman?" 

"You dont know who that woman is? seriously?"

Dennis White nodded.

Desmond furrowed his brows. ' He doesn't know? Huh, it looks like he doesn't belong in our neighbourhood.'

Although Dennis White had a flashy position in Take Meals Out, he didn't have a good background. He came from a middle-class background, and it was only because he was enterprising and lucky that he could get a good position in the company.

When applying for a Take Meals Out job, he got a supervisor position. Because of his ability to build good relationships with superiors, he was also promoted to replace the old operations manager.

"What are you? This is Sharon Bennet, vice president of Phoenix Crest Group.

All the upper-class people knew Sharon Bennet had an essential position in the Phoenix Crest Group. She also often appeared in public and represented the Phoenix Crest group to speak, including when accompanying the Great Master, who resigned from the group, and his grandson would replace him in the presidency.

Dennis White nodded, impressed even more with the woman. Then he came closer to her and extended his hand for an introduction. Sharon Bennet was the type of woman he wanted, beautiful and intelligent.

"Miss Bennet, please meet Dennis White from taking Meals Out," he said, extending his hand.

 The elegant woman glanced at him and briefly returned the handshake. Sharon was not interested in Dennis at all.

She straightened and looked at Danny, who wasn't looking at her. Sharon Bennet's face showed dissatisfaction at not being noticed by Danny.

 This didn't make sense to Sharon. While the men were looking at her with admiration, she looked indifferent. Danny stood still and enjoyed the wine, even daring to turn his back on her.

Sharon stepped closer to Danny, stood with her back to him, and cleared her throat. Inevitably, Danny turned to her and looked sarcastically.

"Pour me some wine, and let's make a toast!" Sharon said in a commanding tone. 

At that moment, all the male guests looked at Danny and Sharon in surprise. They couldn't help but wonder how a man who had been banished by the Huxley family was honoured by Miss Sharon Bennet.

Why weren't those from the upper class asked to pour wine and toast her? Danny didn't have the qualities to do so.

 Danny squinted and said sarcastically, "You're asking me to pour wine? Don't you have arms and legs to ask me to pour for you?"

Sharon gasped; this was the first time she had been rejected. Like the other guests, they were shocked to hear Danny's blunt reply.

"How dare the forer son-in-law of the Huxley family do this to Miss Sharon Bennet? Doesn't he know that pouring wine on a beautiful woman and toasting her is an honour?" complained one of the guests.

Meanwhile, Laura looked at Sharon Bennet with a frown on her face.
