Chapter 912
Frederick adjusted his glasses as he faced the crowd calmly, looking distinguished in his well-tailoredsuit. “Calm down, everyone. I sent Miss Everheart an invitation because she has a special identity –one that is very significant in our industry. She is more qualified than anyone here to join this summit,so for the good of our industry, please respect everyone here as equals.”
The man’s words instantly enraged the older individuals in the hall.
“Yarrow, what are you saying? She’s just an inexperienced little girl! How could she possibly contributemore to the industry than us? Did you fall for that temptress’ tricks, youngster?! Did you exploit someloophole so you could invite her here?”
“Don’t forget that we can remove you from your position just as easily as we put you there, so don’t getcocky with us!”novelbin
Frederick smiled sadly. “By the time the conference starts, all of you will understand that I was onlyspeaking the truth. If you still think Miss Everheart has no right to attend by then, I’ll be willing to resignimmediately.”
When everyone saw how serious Frederick was, nobody dared to make the situation more difficult forhim. The crowd soon dispersed, not even giving Renee or Jovan a second glance.
However, Seraphina did not want to let the matter go so easily. She took a glass of wine and handed itto Renee with a fake smile. “Miss Everheart, you’re here for Stef, aren’t you? I must say, you haveamazing timing – we’ll be announcing our relationship to the public today! You’ll give us your blessing,won’t you?”
Renee nonchalantly clinked glasses with her, flashing her an equally fake smile. “If my blessings couldhelp reassure you, I’d be happy to offer them… but I’m sure you already know that you could neverkeep him at your side. If I were you, I wouldn’t even dream of taking such a huge risk. Try to cherish
this feeling while it lasts, because you’re going to be heartbroken and ashamed once he’s done withyou.”
Her words instantly triggered Seraphina, and the woman’s eyes widened in rage. Uncaring of herimage, she screamed at Renee, “Shut your mouth, Everheart! Stef and I will be together forever, andthe only heartbroken person here will be you! You were abandoned four years ago, and now, you’rebeing abandoned again!”
Seraphina let out a snarl and splashed her wine at Renee’s face, her eyes wild.
Jovan quickly shielded Renee, and warned Seraphina coldly, “Miss Murphy, you are crossing a line. Ifyou keep behaving like this, I’ll have no choice but to have you escorted out!”
Seraphina glared at him arrogantly and scoffed, “You’re just a good-for-nothing assistant who wasbanished by your own family, so you have no right to speak to me. The Hunt family’s fate is completelyin my family’s hands now, so how dare you act like you own this place?! I should be the one kicking youout! It’s amazing how you can’t even see how worthless you are!”
Jovan was fuming, and he splashed his own wine at Seraphina, not holding back at all. “Don’t push me!I won’t go easy on you just because you’re a woman, I’ll hit anyone who deserves it!”
“Ah, you… you…” Seraphina was gaping at him in shock, red wine dripping down her face. Thedelicately beautiful makeup she had put on earlier had been ruined by this madman.
Seraphina was furious, but she knew how ruthless Jovan could be, so she didn’t dare to provoke himany further. Instead, she decided to target Renee again. She turned to the security guards andshrieked, “What are you waiting for? Kick both of these freaks out! I’m ordering you as the eldestdaughter of the Murphy family! If you don’t get it done now, I’ll have my family retract their sponsorshipfor this event!”
“Uh… well…” The guards looked rather conflicted. The Murphys were not involved in the electronicsindustry, and Seraphina wasn’t exactly a professional either. However, the Murphy family was still thebiggest sponsor of the event, and were also the biggest shareholders of the legendary H Group. Thus,the security guards didn’t dare disobey her.
“Miss Everheart, Mr. Hunt, please cooperate with us…” One of the guards finally said as heapproached them.
