Frederick adjusted his glasses as he faced the crowd calmly, looking distinguished in his well-tailored suit. “Calm
down, everyone. I sent Miss Everheart an invitation because she has a special identity – one that is very significant
in our industry. She is more qualified than anyone here to join this summit, so for the good of our industry, please
respect everyone here as equals.”
The man’s words instantly enraged the older individuals in the hall.
“Yarrow, what are you saying? She’s just an inexperienced little girl! How could she possibly contribute more to the
industry than us? Did you fall for that temptress’ tricks, youngster?! Did you exploit some loophole so you could
invite her here?”
“Don’t forget that we can remove you from your position just as easily as we put you there, so don’t get cocky with
us!”

truth. If you still think Miss Everheart has no right to attend by then, I’ll be willing to resign immediately.”
When everyone saw how serious Frederick was, nobody dared to make the situation more difficult for him. The
crowd soon dispersed, not even giving Renee or Jovan a second glance.
However, Seraphina did not want to let the matter go so easily. She took a glass of wine and handed it to Renee
with a fake smile. “Miss Everheart, you’re here for Stef, aren’t you? I must say, you have amazing timing – we’ll be
announcing our relationship to the public today! You’ll give us your blessing, won’t you?”
Renee nonchalantly clinked glasses with her, flashing her an equally fake smile. “If my blessings could help reassure
you, I’d be happy to offer them… but I’m sure you already know that you could never keep him at your side. If I
were you, I wouldn’t even dream of taking such a huge risk. Try to cherish this feeling while it lasts, because you’re
going to be heartbroken and ashamed once he’s done with you.”
Her words instantly triggered Seraphina, and the woman’s eyes widened in rage. Uncaring of her image, she
screamed at Renee, “Shut your mouth, Everheart! Stef and I will be together forever, and the only heartbroken
person here will be you! You were abandoned four years ago, and now, you’re being abandoned again!”
Seraphina let out a snarl and splashed her wine at Renee’s face, her eyes wild.
Jovan quickly shielded Renee, and warned Seraphina coldly, “Miss Murphy, you are crossing a line. If you keep
behaving like this, I’ll have no choice but to have you escorted out!”
Seraphina glared at him arrogantly and scoffed, “You’re just a good-for-nothing assistant who was banished by your
own family, so you have no right to speak to me. The Hunt family’s fate is completely in my family’s hands now, so
how dare you act like you own this place?! I should be the one kicking you out! It’s amazing how you can’t even see
how worthless you are!”
Jovan was fuming, and he splashed his own wine at Seraphina, not holding back at all. “Don’t push me! I won’t go
easy on you just because you’re a woman, I’ll hit anyone who deserves it!”

“Ah, you… you…” Seraphina was gaping at him in shock, red wine dripping down her face. The delicately beautiful
makeup she had put on earlier had been ruined by this madman.
Seraphina was furious, but she knew how ruthless Jovan could be, so she didn’t dare to provoke him any further.
Instead, she decided to target Renee again. She turned to the security guards and shrieked, “What are you waiting
for? Kick both of these freaks out! I’m ordering you as the eldest daughter of the Murphy family! If you don’t get it
done now, I’ll have my family retract their sponsorship for this event!”
“Uh… well…” The guards looked rather conflicted. The Murphys were not involved in the electronics industry, and
Seraphina wasn’t exactly a professional either. However, the Murphy family was still the biggest sponsor of the
event, and were also the biggest shareholders of the legendary H Group. Thus, the security guards didn’t dare
disobey her.
“Miss Everheart, Mr. Hunt, please cooperate with us…” One of the guards finally said as he approached them.
