“Don’t worry, Aunt Celeste. I’m okay.” Be reassured Celeste while. hugging her gorgeous stepmother.


    “Both of you can talk. I’ll go prepare some snacks for you.” Celestel indicated that Wyatt was still upset


    by raising her hands above her head in the shape of horns.


    Be gave an “OK” sign and winked at her as Celeste turned to leave. Quentin tactfully left as well.


    “Wyatt, I overheard everything you said to Aunt Celeste just now from outside.”


    Be sat down next to her elderly father and embraced him like a friend. She rested her head against


    his and said, “Dad, you really underestimate me. My arrogance shows I have the confidence and ability


    to be arrogant. None of those domestic canaries canpete with a true phoenix like me.”


    “Yeah, you are my golden phoenix, but the wild chickens are always pecking at you. Doesn’t that


    bother you?” Wyatt shook his head helplessly. “Why are you provoking them? I constantly have to


    worry about you because of the chaos it is creating.”


    “Wild chickens? Are you talking about the Salvadors?” Be couldn’t help butugh, her voice as


    melodious as a nightingale. “Wyatt, your tongue is even sharper than mine. I admit I was a bit rude to


    you just now.”


    “You know your old man is just afraid you might suffer because of your stubbornness. I want nothing


    but the best for you!” Wyatt indulgently hugged his daughter. Suddenly, he remembered. something


    and frowned, asking, “You made a fuss at the Salvadors event. As the president of Salvador


    Corporation, didn’t Justin give you a hard time?”


    Be’s heart fluttered slightly, and she shook her head. “No, and he even yed a part in this incident.


    initially thought that the female. reporter who came forward to use Bethany was unconscious. It


    turns out Justin had secretly helped her and brought her to the charity event.”


    Wyatt raised an eyebrow. “Hmm? What do you mean?”


    “He used the event to solve his own problems. That guy has quite a few tricks up his sleeve. No


    wonder he’s held onto the president position so securely over the years.”


    Wyatt sneered, unable to resist teasing her, “You’ve been married to him for three years and haven’t


    been schemed against. That’s quite fortunate.”


    “Wyatt, the one who dares to mess with me hasn’t been born yet.” Be shed her white teeth,


    resembling a young lioness.


    At that moment, Wyatt’s phone rang. Be picked it up from the coffee table for her father and nced


    at the screen, her eyes darkening.


    “Who is it?” Wyatt asked.


    Be replied with a cold expression, “It’s Gregory Salvador.”


    Wyattmented, “Oh, if it isn’t your ex-father-inw.”


    “Dad!” Be blushed with anger, a rare sight for someone who was not easily provoked.


    Wyatt cleared his throat and calmly pressed the speaker button.”


    What’s the matter, Chairman Salvador?”


    “Chairman Thompson, I’d like to talk to you aboutst night’s incident.”


    Despite his usual proud and arrogant attitude, Gregory disyed a more subdued attitude this time. His


    tone was amiable. “I’ll be heading to Hatchbay shortly. Can I invite you for a casual meal and some


    tea?”


    “I don’t think you and I have much business to discusstely.” Wyatt hinted with a smirk, patting his


    daughter’s head. “Besides, my daughter is back, and I have to spend time with her. If you have


    anything to say, say it here.”


    Gregory paused, chuckling nervously. “Chairman Thompson, there must have been some


    misunderstanding regarding the charity. auctionst night. The receipt wasn’t signed by my daughter,


    Bethany. It was forged, so it’s not valid.”

    “Chairman Salvador, I think it’s pointless for us to discuss anything here concerning the matter of your


    daughter imitating my daughter’s work. Let your legal team talk to my legal team.” Wyatt maintained a


    completely indifferent attitude.


    “Chairman Thompson! Are you really nning to sue us over this trivial matter?” Gregory seemed


    visibly anxious.


    “Trivial?” Wyatt’s expression instantly turned cold. “Anything rted to my daughter is a big deal to


    me.”


    Be was seated at Wyatt’s side like a docile kitten as she listened in on their conversation.


    Hearing his words, her eyes sparkled with admiration. She seemed to better understand why her


    mother chose this flirtatious yboy.


    “Chairman Thompson, it seems there’s nothing left for us to discuss, is that right?” Gregory asked,


    suppressing his anger.


    Wyatt’s gaze turned icy. He rubbed his cheekbone and said, “As I grow older, I be more petty. In


    business, I can weigh the pros and cons, but I won’tpromise when ites to my family. In short,


    whoever messes with my daughter, I’ll mess with them.”
