"I think you better tell me exactly what you were doing at the hospital," Hazelyn said arrogantly with her arms crossed over her chest.


    I smiled and softly said, "Ms. Hazelyn, right? Who says you can''t discuss investments while wearing a simple outfit?"


    Hazelyn exaggeratedlyughed. "Look at you. You''re dressed so shabbily yet dare to be so confident."


    "Ms. Hazelyn, do you ce so much importance on money? What kind of attire, in your opinion, would make someone look like an investor?" I pressed on with a challenging tone.


    She snorted dismissively, rolling her eyes. "Certainly not like you. Just tell me. What exactly are you doing in Gerby?"


    The people around us shifted their attention to me, and their gazes now carried suspicion, as if I were some dubious character.


    I calmly said, "What? Is it necessary to inform the Chandler family whenever someonees to Gerby?"


    "It depends on the matter. I think it''s necessary for your case," Hazelyn said unapologetically.


    Gabriel, by her side, had yet to say a word. He gazed at me indifferently, not intervening. I instantly lost any favorable impression I might have had of him.


    I felt sad for Beatrice for having a boyfriend like this back then.


    "So, every outsider here needs your family''s permission?"


    "Since when did the threshold for Gerby''s business event be so low? Can anyone of this caliber enter this ce? You''re dressed in such a low-ss manner, yet you dare stand here and confront me? Gerby is not a ce for people like you!"


    "Who do you think you are?" A prating voice came from behind the crowd.


    As soon as this statement was made, the gathering crowd became restless, turning their heads to look behind them.


    What caught everyone''s eyes was a tall and sturdy figure, exuding a powerful aura. Crystal lights illuminated his stunningly handsome face, giving him a golden halo that entuated his nobility.


    With perfectly groomed eyebrows


    and


    Coveyshes that p


    I his deep eyes, his fear


    seemed divine.


    The man exuded a cold aura and an imposing presence that warned strangers to keep their distance. He walked like a ruler surveying his kingdom, and his head was held


    high as he approached.


    Wherever he went, there were subdued gasps.


    I was stunned by the spectacle. Like all the women around me, I was mesmerized and had a silly smile.


    How could my husband be so handsome? It was just unreasonable.


    Ignoring all the gasps and praises, he walked directly to my side and embraced me. Then he turned around, facing Hazelyn, "My wife doesn''t need your scrutiny. Who do you think you are?" Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    With this casual remark, everyone was bewildered, casting disdainful nces at Hazelyn.


    I saw Hazelyn already petrified, her eyes unable to shift away from As''s handsome face.


    As for Gabriel, his eyes were fixed on As''s figure. The imposing aura emanating from him left Gabriel dumbfounded.


    Just then, a man recognized As and eximed, "Mr. As, it''s you!"


    Someone asked the man, "Who is he?"


    "This is Mr. As Pierce, CEO of ATL Empire." The man joyfully eximed, clearly pleased to have recognized him. "What? Mr. As?"


    "The richest man in the world?"


    "I-Is he really As? As is in Gerby? Oh my. Is he here to discuss a project?"
