Salma watched Zola’s arrogant figure, her face turning sullen.
Salma thought. What qualifications did this woman have to attend tonight’s banquet? Could it be because she took the trending TV series, so she was invited to sing and dance to liven up Jason’s birthday party?
In the entertainment industry, although Salma did not have a high position, due to her family. background, she did not regard anyone highly, including the A–list Zola.
And Zola, who had reached her current status, was rumored to have affairs with many people. What qualifications did she have to mock Salma?
“Miss Moore, please behave yourself.” Leopold ultimately did not accept her note, leaving these words behind before leaving.
Salma trembled with anger.
This evening’s banquet had truly made her agitated.
Perla, at the moment, dared not approach Salma. Not only did she fear provoking her, but she also worried that if Salma embarrassed herself, it might affect her as well. It was better to keep a safe distance.
Fortunately, at that moment…
The voice of the host suddenly sounded in the banquet hall.
It seemed that the birthday banquet was about to begin.
Everyone consciously walked toward the central stage.
After eating a couple of pastries, Joseph was taken away by someone.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I am tonight’s host, Jasper Frank. Thank you all for taking the time to attend Mr. Hayden’s 70th birthday celebration…”
Jasper’s passionate and loud voice delivered the opening speech.
“Without further ado, let’s welcome our protagonist, Jason Hayden, to the stage.”
The entire hall erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Ethan pushed Jason onto the central stage, and beside him stood Joseph, who was behaving properly.
All eyes were on them.
Sergio’s face changed instantly.
Even if he wasn’t doing well, he noticed the unusual atmosphere at this moment.

“Time flies, and I’m now 70 years old. It’s about time for me to retire. On this birthday of mine, let me introduce my grandson, Ethan. After tonight, he will stay in Beliey, and I hope everyone will support him” Jason’s voice sounded a bit aged, but his words carried weight.
The underlying meaning of this speech was that Hayden Group would be handed over to Ethan in the
future.
The host handed the microphone to Ethan.
Ethan looked at everyone below with a steady demeanor and a breathtaking appearance. There was a kind of aura that seemed to disdain the world.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I am Ethan,” His magnetic voice was deep and sex
Sergio, at this moment, almost kneeled.
He was actually Ethan.
sexy.
The firefighter he had always looked down upon turned out to be Ethan.
“Sergio, didn’t you say he’s a bodyguard?” one of the young men next to Sergio suddenly asked.
Another young man said, “I knew someone with such an aura could not be just a bodyguard.
“Damn it. Did I disrespect him just now?”
Sergio’s face became extremely unsightly.
He recalled the moments when he had just greeted another man in front of everyone, calling him Mr. Hayden. He also remembered introducing Ethan as a bodyguard to many young men just now.
He felt as if a slap had fiercely landed on his face.
It was painful and embarrassing.
Sergio wanted to find a hole and hide.
Perla and Salma were also in disbelief.
Both of them stared wide–eyed at the presumed firefighter, who turned out to be Ethan from Hayden Group.
How was it possible?
How could Ethan be so handsome?
Yet, the scene in front of them made them reluctantly believe that the man entangled with Kylie was actually Ethan.
How could Kylie enter the Hayden Group banquet hall? Could it be that Ethan personally invited her?

No.
It was unacceptable. Kylie and Ethan, the highest–ranking figures in Beliey, could not have any connection.
“Oh, dear! Mr. Hayden is not a chubby middle–aged man!” someone exclaimed.
“My dear, he’s too handsome!”
“He’s the most handsome man in Beliey!
“It’s beyond my imagination.”
“His son is also handsome, like a little prince from a fairy tale.”
Ethan’s appearance was far from what they imagined. Everyone was shocked and amazed, and the entire hall was filled with exclamations.
Kylie was in the crowd, looking at the tall, poised, and noble man with well–defined facial features. He was currently giving a speech. His voice was clear, calm, and reserved, but it inexplicably conveyed a compelling sense of oppression, a natural king–like aura that could not be ignored.
The short speech ended, and the whole hall erupted in warm applause.
Jason, who never smiled easily, was now beaming amidst the applause..
Ethan pushed Jason down from the central stage and handed the wheelchair to Jason’s butler.
Then, in front of everyone’s eyes, he directly walked toward Sergio.
Sergio’s face was already red.
Seeing Ethan approaching, Sergio could not hold himself together, and he involuntarily took a step back.
Everyone in the hall watched Ethan’s every move.
With a clear identity now, his every word and action would become the focus.
Ethan stood in front of Sergio, slightly taller than him. He reached out his hand and said, “Mr. Moore, nice
meet you, I am Ethan.”
Sergio’s face turned pale.
If it weren’t for Sergio mistaking his identity in front of everyone just now, Ethan actively greeting Sergio would have been a highlight in Sergio’s life. Yet, because of his deliberate performance, Sergio felt embarrassed and humiliated.
The sarcastic and mocking gazes around him at this moment made him feel immense shame.

Ethan did it on purpose, deliberately embarrassing him in public.
“Nice to meet you.” Sergio finally extended his hand.
But just as his fingers were about to touch Ethan’s, Ethan withdrew his hand.
Sergio’s hand hung stiffly in the air.
Ethan smiled faintly, deliberately leaving a remark. “Although I’m ordinary, I hope, Mr. Moore, you will not make such mistakes next time.”
He then walked away from Sergio.
He ignored Sergio’s embarrassment to the extreme.
Ethan returned to Jason’s side. That night, he had to attend to some social obligations.
After Ethan left, many disdainful eyes were still on Sergio.
He endured the immense collapse within, turned around, and wanted to leave the hall. At that moment, he saw Kylie not far away, smiling brightly.
Sergio walked up to Kylie, anger almost making him want to strangle her. He gritted his teeth and said. “You knew it, didn’t you? Kylie, did you intentionally let me embarrass myself?”
You embarrassed yourself because you were pretending. If you did not pretend, how could you be so embarrassed?” Kylie mocked mercilessly.
That night, Sergio was perhaps more devastated than being struck by lightning. He lost face completely and felt utterly ashamed.
