Lin Ruoxi was about to take out the documents and pen for the fashion conference from her briefcase when she felt the light in front of her being blocked by a group of people. She couldn't help but raise her head curiously …
In front of her was a chestnut-haired beauty wearing a light pink brimmed hat and a Milano-style dress. She was tall, at least 1.7 meters tall, and exuded pride and luxury from her bones.
She had a dazzling crystal lipstick, a high nose bridge, long curved eyelashes visible through the light-colored sunglasses, a delicate foundation, and a lingering Saint Laurent perfume.
Beside the lady in the hat stood two tall bodyguards in suits. They wore sunglasses and looked very dignified.
Lin Ruoxi frowned. She could feel that this woman came with ill intentions, but she didn't recognize her.
"Get lost," the woman suddenly said in perfect English with a London accent.
Lin Ruoxi was slightly stunned. She didn't expect such a dignified and elegant woman to say such rude words.
But after a short while, Lin Ruoxi reacted. Her face gradually turned cold, and she continued to lower her head, choosing to ignore her, and began to search for the materials she wanted.
"Hmph," the woman sneered, "Pretending not to hear me, or are you deaf or blind?"
Lin Ruoxi stopped what she was doing and raised her head, "Although I don't know who you are, I don't want to argue with an unreasonable and crazy woman in this kind of situation. This is my seat, I don't know why you want me to leave, but I can tell you that it's impossible. "
The woman took off her sunglasses, and a pair of phoenix eyes looked down at Lin Ruoxi arrogantly, "The first row isn't for a small businessman like you. Everyone in the first row, except for you, knows me. You don't know me because you're not qualified to sit in the first row. "
"Meryl, clean up your bad temper. This seat belongs to Miss Lin. You didn't reserve it yourself, so there's no reason for someone else to give it to you," Stern, who had been silent all this while, interrupted. It was obvious that he knew this woman called Meryl.
"Stern, you'd better hold onto your Alice and take care of yourselves. If I were any of you, I wouldn't have the face to walk out of the house. Siblings of the aristocracy, do you have the right to talk about me?" Meryl mocked coldly.
Alice flicked her shoulder-length silver hair and pursed her lips. She said to Lin Ruoxi, "Miss Lin, this big-breasted, small-brained woman is called Meryl. She's a relative of England's royal family, the Queen's granddaughter. Her bad temper is only because she has the love of the Queen's maternal grandmother and the connections of the Stewart family. She herself is just a stupid woman without any redeeming qualities, so the wise Miss Lin can completely ignore her. "
"Alice! How dare you insult me!!? " Meryl screamed. "Do you think I'm really afraid of you just because you're from Duke Cromwell's Mansion? You're provoking my family!! "
A series of loud curses naturally attracted the attention of many guests around them. However, most of those with high enough status knew Meryl and Stern. Although they knew that Meryl was throwing a tantrum again, no one would stand up for the "young" Lin Ruoxi.
Yang Cheng sat on his seat with interest. He watched Meryl yelling at Lin Ruoxi. Although he had already decided to give this woman a taste of her own medicine, he wasn't in a hurry. After all, this was a public place. He didn't mind if he acted rashly. However, Lin Ruoxi had to do business with many people present. If she acted too violently, she would definitely face a lot of headaches.
However, the staff of the venue didn't dare to make a scene. Immediately, a man in a white suit who was in charge of maintaining order humbly ran to Lin Ruoxi and Meryl's side. He bowed and greeted Meryl before asking, "Miss Stert, may I know what has made you so angry?" Meryl was obviously a regular guest that she had known for a long time. Her tone was extremely flattering.
"I didn't expect that after a year, the first row of Tuileries Garden would be so degraded. Who does this woman think she is? What right does she have to sit in the first row? "Meryl pointed at Lin Ruoxi.
The person in charge smiled stiffly. "Miss Stewart, please listen to my explanation. This seat was originally yours, but you went to Sweden and said that you weren't free. So we arranged for Miss Lin, the CEO of Yu Lei International, to sit here. Miss Lin's Yu Lei International is currently one of the largest fashion companies in the world, and she's also our distinguished guest. Please understand. "
"Haha, Yu Lei International? What a joke! It's just a lousy company, and you guys are treating this woman like a treasure? Ridiculous! " Meryl ridiculed, "It's true that I went to Sweden to attend the Crown Prince's wedding, but I'm already back here. Don't tell me that you guys want me to sit behind this woman?!"
The person in charge's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He didn't know what to do. He looked at Meryl, then at Lin Ruoxi. He didn't dare to offend either side.
Lin Ruoxi had been quietly listening to Meryl's unreasonable request. In the end, she revealed a sneer and said with a cold gaze, "I'll sit here because this is my job, and this is where I should sit. What you think and want to do has nothing to do with me. "
After that, Lin Ruoxi ignored Meryl. She took out a document from her briefcase and started reading it.
Meryl flew into a rage after being ignored by Chi Luoluo. "Lowly commoner! Lowly commoner! Do you really think that I won't dare to do anything to a lowly woman like you!? "
"Meryl, enough is enough. Otherwise, you'll suffer." Stern smiled mischievously.
"Shut up! It's not your place to scare me! " Meryl clenched her teeth and said, "Since the person in charge doesn't dare, I'll kick you out myself … You asked for it. Originally, everything would have been fine if you had just obediently given up the seat that doesn't belong to you. Why must you use your lowly status to challenge the glory of the Stewart family? Hua Xia's woman, don't think that you have any status just because you've earned some money. I'll let you know how lowly you are!"
After that, Meryl clapped her hands and said to the four bodyguards beside her, "Throw this woman into the Seine River and let her swim far away. I'll take responsibility for all the consequences."
"Yes, Miss!!"
The four bodyguards answered in a loud voice. They were very decisive. They must have done this kind of thing often, so they were not surprised at all.
Lin Ruoxi didn't expect this woman named Meryl to be this crazy. She actually dared to do such a thing in this venue with so many famous people watching.
Lin Ruoxi finally panicked when she heard the four bodyguards' response. She was just an ordinary girl, how could she possibly defend herself against these tall and burly white bodyguards?!
Looking around, she noticed that the Stern siblings were sitting there with a strange expression on their faces. She couldn't tell what they were thinking about, while the other guests and staff all pretended not to see anything. Some of them were whispering to each other, waiting to see Lin Ruoxi thrown into the river. No one was willing to step forward to stop Meryl!
For a moment, Lin Ruoxi's heart sank. Her only hope was Yang Cheng, who was behind her!
However, when Lin Ruoxi turned around, she saw Yang Cheng with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He looked like he was watching a good show. He even raised his eyebrows at her!
This despicable guy, is he going to watch me get thrown into the river too?! Is it because I'm dissatisfied with what happened in the morning?!
Or is he afraid too?!
"Ah!!"
Suddenly, a scream came from behind Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi abruptly turned around, only to be shocked to find that one of the four bodyguards who was about to step forward had a hideous expression on his face as he cried out in pain. Then, he softly fell to the ground.
A tall and burly red-haired man appeared behind the bodyguards. It was his hand that had quietly grabbed the back of the bodyguard's neck just now. He directly used his grip to cause the bodyguard's arteries and blood vessels to be on the bed, causing the bodyguard to faint in an instant.
"Tsk tsk, what a wonderful capture." Stern, who was watching this scene, clapped his hands in praise and broke the silence of the scene.
The remaining three bodyguards turned around and saw the red-haired middle-aged man. They were so scared that their legs turned to jelly and they retreated to the side with pale faces.
When Meryl saw who it was, her beautiful face turned pale as well. Her lips trembled as she forced herself to say, "Sau … Sauron …"
The sudden change in the scene caused many of the guests to be in a daze. However, most of them were experienced in such situations. Fainting a bodyguard would not excite or frighten them. On the contrary, those who did not know Sauron began to talk about who this red-haired man was.
"Sauron? He's here too. What's going on? Why would he come to a place like this? "
"Brother, you know him? Who's this red-haired guy? He looks so fierce. "
"You don't even know him? His nickname is the Red-haired Eagle King. Many British nobles like to call him the Red-haired Devil in private because of his terrifying deeds … "
"It's him!?"
"No wonder he dared to beat up the Duke Stuart's family here … I've heard that he was once the ace commander of the British MI5. Back then, due to a political conflict, he was hunted down by the opposition. He fled overseas for more than a month and miraculously returned to Britain. He secretly massacred dozens of important opposition figures and overwhelmingly forced the government to cancel his arrest. He even obtained the hereditary title of Earl from the Welsh royal family. The British royal family who wanted to kill him previously compromised for the first time … Even now, it's unclear how he managed to accomplish those impossible massacres. This man is not an ordinary character. Meryl is in trouble this time. "
Many nobles and local European tycoons were discussing Sauron's identity. It was indeed rare for such an iron-blooded character to appear at a fashion conference.
However, Sauron did not pay attention to the various awe-inspiring gazes of the people around him. Instead, he took a step back and bowed his tall body respectfully. He placed one hand on his chest and the other behind his back.
Facing Lin Ruoxi, whose eyes were wide open, Sauron was expressionless like a steel sculpture. He spoke in a sentence with medieval English words that only Lin Ruoxi could hear clearly. "Nice to meet you. My name is Sauron von Ibroanca. I'm honored to be of service to you, honorable Lady Persephone."
Persephone? This name again!?
Hearing this name, Lin Ruoxi finally calmed down. She recalled that the president of the Swiss Bank of Zhonghai had also called her this strange name.
Although Sauron's words weren't heard by the people around him, everyone could clearly see him sincerely bowing to Lin Ruoxi and performing the oath of allegiance.
At this moment, the nobles with brains were already in a state of stupor. They really could not figure out why an ordinary businesswoman like Hua Xia would be able to receive the red-haired devil's allegiance!
However, before they could figure it out, another scene made their eyes almost pop out.
After Sauron straightened up, he walked around Lin Ruoxi and came to the side of an extremely inconspicuous young man who was half lying and half leaning on a chair. He bowed slightly and paid his respects to the man seriously.
