However, what Harold did next shocked everyone.
“Excuse me, but I'm slightly disgusted by a filthy woman like you!”
As he spoke, amid the sound of classical music, the crowd fell silent, widening their eyes in disbelief.
Is he trying to dig his own grave? He's too straightforward by saying that Ms. Whitlock is filthy. Most importantly, how could he say that to Ms. Whitlock's face?
“Haha! You're so straightforward. What an interesting man you are. I like that personality of yours. I like you! Cheers!”
Quinnlyn chuckled just when everyone thought that Harold's words would anger her.
She then downed her glass of wine and handed the other glass to Harold once again.
“Splendid!” The crowd applauded and complimented Quinnlyn's generosity.
Nonetheless, Harold refused to take the glass of wine, not bothered to spare even a glance at her.
The ballroom, once again, fell into dead silence. Quinnlyn's face reddened out of rage.
A young man, wearing a suit and a luxury watch, walked out of the crowd behind Quinnlyn and uttered coldly, “Hey, how dare you refuse to toast with Ms. Whitlock! Don't be so full of yourself!”
He then grabbed the glass of wine from Quinnlyn's hand and splashed the wine onto Harold's face.
Again, the crowd went wild upon seeing the young man.
He was none other than Dominic Wood, whose family was one of the four members of the Neptune Chamber of Commerce.
Dominic was not just an ordinary spoiled rich brat like Quinnlyn, Benedict, and the others. He had already started to take over the Wood family's company as the future heir of the family.
Hence, many businessmen in Norham were eager to butter him up due to his huge influence on Norham's business industry.
Upon seeing Dominic standing up for Quinnlyn, the crowd concluded that it was game over for Harold.
However, the next second, Harold pulled the tablecloth slightly when Dominic splashed the wine on him.
As he moved his hand, the wine that was supposed to hit his face ended up splashing back at Dominic and Quinnlyn.
Everyone was in utter shock upon witnessing the unexpected scene.
“Ah!”
With wine all over her, Quinnlyn screamed while shaking the droplets off her deep V-neck gown. Her
elegant demeanor had completely vanished.
The onlookers gulped upon seeing her revealing skin.
“You... How dare you!”
Having regained his senses, Dominic hurled a punch at Harold's face.
His punch was swift and powerful. Engulfed by hatred and embarrassment, he showed no mercy when he swung his fist, aiming to break Harold's nose.
A shrieking scream rang up in the ballroom the moment Dominic unleashed his attack.
Upon hearing that, the crowd began pitying Harold.
Why did he choose to mess with a member of the Neptune Chamber of Commerce of all people? Does he have a death wish?
However, the next instant, when they realized that the scream sounded familiar, they took a closer look and were flabbergasted.
Harold grabbed Dominic's fist firmly while twisting it.
It turned out that Dominic was the one who was screaming.
Looking at his broken, twisted arm, everyone felt goosebumps all over their skins.
“Quick! Go and inform your boss!”
Upon seeing Dominic in his miserable state, Quinnlyn immediately ordered Dominic's henchmen to get his dad, Declan Wood, to come over. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
In the meantime, the four bosses of the Neptune Chamber of Commerce had already arrived at the hotel.
