"You …" Harvey pointed at Gloria. He wanted to say a few harsh words, but after seeing the disdainful looks he received, his momentum weakened instantly. He snorted coldly, and pulled Roy, who was covering his face with his hands and looking flustered, out quickly.
"Very good. You're smarter than I expected." Cyril made his way over to Gloria, and lowered his voice as he said, "However, all of this is futile. You're going to lose everything tonight. I still like the way you hide in a dark room with a hood on your head. You should stay like that for the rest of your life."
"Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. Since I've decided to come out, I won't go back." Gloria smiled and said, "Besides, I'm different from you. Everything you have is a gift, but everything I have is earned through my own hard work. You can't take it away from me."
"I hope you can still smile later." Cyril clenched his fists and left angrily.
Gloria let out a sigh of relief. Her tense body relaxed, and she realized that her palms were sweaty.
"This big sister is so beautiful, and she's so righteous. She's super awesome."
"Sister, she's the boss of Blue Suede. The clothes that the group of girls were wearing are the new clothes that they're about to release. It seems like they're really working with Blue Suede. No wonder they could get the new clothes.
"The owner is so young! She's so beautiful! "
The girls looked at Gloria with admiration and amazement. Then, the topic quickly changed to how they could get their hands on Suede's new line.
In a private room on the second floor, a white-haired old man chuckled, and said, "It seems that the rumors about Young Mistress Gloria are a little off. Her ability to adapt and conduct herself on the spot is far superior to Cyril's. Among the younger generation, I haven't seen anyone other than Cyril who can compare to her."
"Yeah, it looks like The Hill has a rival, just like me and Geoffrey." Ian Buffet also nodded with a smile, and he was also appraising Gloria with an appreciative look in his eyes. At the mention of the past, a hint of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.
Gloria's rebuke of Harvey, his son, and Cyril was praised by most of the guests present. After all, many of them were afraid of Harvey and Cyril's status. Even though they had seen what had just happened with their own eyes, they didn't dare to say anything.
Gloria turned around and looked at Meg and Barbara. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Meg and Miss Barbara. I've made you suffer."
"Sister Gloria, why are you apologizing? You're not the one at fault. Besides, I've already taught that guy a lesson." Barbara said with a relaxed expression, but her gaze toward Gloria was filled with affection. After all, they had just picked out beautiful new clothes from her shop at noon.
Moreover, what she admired most was that Gloria was able to rebuke those guys with words. She had reason and evidence, and she had made everyone stand on their side. Wasn't this ability too amazing?!
"This is nothing to us, but it was an interesting debate just now." Meg also looked at Gloria with a smile. Gloria obviously knew about Roy's incident in advance. However, the conflict between them and Harvey and Roy had been sudden. Gloria was able to rebuke the other party and put Cyril in a bad situation at the same time. Her ability to adapt and her ability to see the big picture had refreshed his understanding of Gloria.
Meg had watched this girl take off her veil and start to live like a normal person. He had watched her decide to leave her boudoir and step into the business world. He had witnessed her growth with his own eyes.
He was moved by her fast learning speed and strong learning ability.
"Thank you." Gloria's face flushed. Receiving Meg's praise made her happier than rebuking Cyril just now.
"You go do your work first. We'll do whatever we want. Tonight is very important for you." Meg said with a smile.
"Okay. If you need anything, please let me know immediately." Gloria nodded slightly. She did have a lot of things to do right now. For example, she had to take the opportunity to meet some of the board members that she hadn't been able to meet before. Although the Hill had agreed to stand on her side, her votes were still in danger.
"Damn that guy, how dare he collude with Miss Gloria again!" Camilla glared at Meg, feeling as if her heart was bleeding.
The guests arrived one after another. Meg heard some familiar names and also saw some familiar guests. After some simple greetings, he sat in a corner and slowly sipped his wine.
"Wouldn't it be better to just beat that guy to death? Why waste so much time talking?" Camilla sat down beside Meg without him noticing. She took a sip of her wine and looked at Meg with a smile. "If you can't beat him, you can beg me."
"We are civilized people. You have to learn from Gloria. If you can solve things with words, don't beat people to death." Meg said calmly. His eyes followed Gloria who was elegantly walking through the crowd and chatting with people with a smile on her face. "What a nice girl."
"Ahhh! You're not allowed to look at her! "Camilla suddenly stood up and stood in front of Meg.
"Countess Bartoli, there are a lot of people watching here." Meg looked up at Camilla with a smile. He knew that she liked Gloria and was just teasing her.
Camilla also realized that her action of blocking Meg's line of sight was a little childish. If other people saw it, it might cause some bad guesses. She quickly sat back down and said softly with clenched teeth, "Don't force me."
"I'm a man who has two Photostones," Meg said calmly.
"You …" Camilla's face immediately turned red. She looked at Meg with shame and anger. How did she provoke such a pervert who had a Photostone with him at all times?!
Meg had something on her, so Camilla chose to shut herself up and didn't say anything.
"Speaking of which, I do have someone to kill tonight. Are you interested in joining me?" Meg leaned his body towards Camilla and raised his wine glass as a cover as he said softly.
"Kill who?" Camilla was instantly interested.
"Caster, an information dealer. His people have been loitering around the restaurant recently. He should be here for Connie." Meg used the glass to point to the right. There was a middle-aged man in a tight purple suit.
"An unchallenging target." Camilla only glanced at that person before looking away in boredom.
"Before I kill him, I need to get some useful information from him. So, we need to find a little dark room."
"A little dark room!" Camilla's eyes instantly lit up and showed an eager expression again. "I'm good at this."
