Riches in Disguise

As a gang, claiming managerial control over Quad District meant that their

revenue would increase by a few millions annually.

Yet, Jaxon only gave his subordinates a tiny amount of money. It probably only totalled up to around a few tens of thousands. This wasn't just petty. He was being selfish!

"Everyone here today is part of our family. Each of you are important guests. Enjoy your feast. If you've got any questions or any ideas, come talk to me. I'll entertain all your queries! Lynn, you'll represent Dragonshade Society and toast Arthur as well as our best subordinates one by one!"

Lynn seemed to be aware of this, as it did not seem to surprise her. She numbly walked toward the table with the champagne bottles stacked on top.noveldrama

However, when she brought the wine to Arthur, he grabbed her glass and poured it on her face.

"Why are you pulling a long face on such a glorious day?"

Although she had gotten wine poured all over her in front of a crowd, she didn't show any sign of displeasure, despite the embarrassing situation.

She merely said gently, "Thank you for teaching me this lesson, Mr. Wilde. I apologize for my actions."

"If you are apologetic, smile right now!"

Lynn inhaled. She forced a smile.

"Fuck, you're even uglier when you smile than when you cry!"

Everyone roared in laughter. Only Lynn remained silent.

I could tell that they were humiliating Lynn to humiliate Elijah. She was not their target. After all, she was Elijah's favorite girlfriend. Before meeting her, he had many women. However, no one came after Lynn. He was devoted to her and even intended to marry her.

Everyone thought of her as the official boss' wife.

However, Elijah had passed and now Lynn was being treated horribly. This was Jaxon's way of humiliating and getting back at Elijah.

After they were done cackling, Lynn picked up her glass and continued toasting Arthur.

Arthur snorted before bringing his glass to his lips.

I couldn't take it anymore.

Although there would be a good show later, I couldn't watch Lynn get pushed around passively. So, I picked my glass up and walked to her side.

My sudden appearance struck everyone dumb.

During a private celebratory event, a stranger managed to sneak his way in, looking like he meant business. Who wouldn't be dumbfounded.

Lynn's eyes widened as though she'd seen a ghost. "You..."

Before she could continue, I consoled her, "Riley is safe. Don't worry. I had someone send her home."

"What? You... really?"

When I nodded, Lynn was ecstatic. She then said nervously, "Thank you, but you must leave as soon as possible. This is not somewhere you can be."

She then turned to Jaxon and said, "I-I'm sorry, Mr. Wilde. This is one of the workers at my bar. He's asking to be paid. I have no idea how he snuck in. I'll make him leave now."

She pushed me, trying to send me off.

I didn't budge. Instead, I told her seriously, "Lynn, I'm here to save you. You don't

have to toast them. They don't deserve it."

Although Lynn had tried to explain, everyone had been enraged by what happened. When they heard what I said, their faces fell. Anger took over. "Where did this asshole come from? How dare he say that?"

"Did you hear that? He said that Mr. Wilde didn't deserve Lynn's toast. Is he insane?"

"In the past, people would sacrifice animals during celebratory feasts. We skipped that part just now.

we could kill this asshole

as a form of celebration!"
