Chapter 123
"Call Leopold?" Ella hesitated, she hadn't been in touch with Leopold for a long time!
Agnes blinked in surprise and asked Ella, "You claim to be Mr. Neville's favorite, and Mr. Neville has publicly acknowledged having someone. Was the woman Mr. Neville was holding from the hotel that time you?"
This almost made Justin, who knew the truth, laugh. Agnes was different now, she was with Leopold, and her confidence had grown. She could even argue with strength!
Ella bit her lower lip in shame and anger, unsure whether to nod or shake her head. Who was that woman? She had no idea. She had sent people to investigate, but Leopold was meticulous, and she had found nothing about Agnes.
She had heard that Leopold was married and had speculated countless times whether Leopold's wife and the woman from that incident were the same person.
Ella deliberately avoided the topic and angrily countered Agnes, "How dare you inquire about Mr. Neville's affairs? Are you tired of living?"
Justin lazily leaned against the sofa and interjected, "Ms. Garcia, I'm also curious. Was the woman Mr. Neville was holding really you? Mr. Neville has only publicly acknowledged that one lady as his. You keep calling yourself Leopold's woman, but has anyone heard Mr. Neville acknowledge it?"
Justin's words made the women present look at each other. Upon reflection, they realized they had never heard Leopold personally acknowledge Ella's identity. Everything about Ella and Leopold had come from Ella herself.
Agnes gave Justin an appreciative look and then maliciously pursued Ella, "You're using Leopold's name to bully others, Ms. Garcia. Is this the courage Mr. Neville gave you?"
"You!" Ella was furious, losing her composure, and raised her hand to slap Agnes.
Agnes dodged back, and the tea in her hand splashed accurately onto Ella's face.
The tea wasn't hot, but it caused a commotion. In an instant, Ella's face and her off-white dress were stained with tea. Even Melanie, standing next to her, wasn't spared, with a few tea stains on her black evening gown.
Since she had already offended Ella, Agnes decided to go all out. She lightly kicked, causing Ella to cry out and fall to her knees in front of Agnes.
Agnes was also curious, would Leopold choose to protect her, his woman, or Ella?
The socialites around hurried to help Ella up, but Agnes took advantage of the situation, causing one of them to lose balance and fall backward. The high-heeled shoes created a domino effect, and amidst the screams, a dozen women fell into a heap, with Ella at the bottom.
Justin held up a glass of red wine, filled it, and handed it to Agnes. Agnes understood. Amidst the incredulous screams, the red wine glass slowly tilted, and none of the elegantly dressed socialites were spared.
A dozen expensive evening gowns, worth millions of dollars, were ruined by a glass of red wine.
Justin clapped his clean hands, draped his arm over Agnes's shoulder, and announced to the chaotic crowd, "If you dare mess with us, none of you will get away!"
Agnes glanced at the angry women and leisurely said, "What? You still dare to glare at me? Do you want me to get a pair of scissors and cut your dresses into bikinis?"
The women immediately fell silent.
Kevin arrived last, saw the scene, and urgently called Leopold, "Mr. Neville, something big has happened!"
"Speak."
Leopold rubbed his tired forehead.
"Mrs. Neville... Mrs. Neville... she..."
Hearing it involved Agnes, Leopold suddenly stood up, "What happened to Mrs. Neville? One more word of nonsense, and I'll deal with you!"
Kevin took a deep breath and organized his thoughts, "I was just negotiating with a few companies. When I found Mrs. Neville, she was already involved in a dispute with a dozen socialites, including the Garcia family, the Wright family, and the Lopez family..." The key point was that Agnes had offended the top socialites of Lumina City.
Leopold roughly understood and asked in a deep voice, "Who suffered?"
Kevin was stunned. When Leopold asked again, he looked back at the socialites being helped up and then at the unscathed Agnes and reported truthfully, "It seems... Mrs. Neville didn't suffer."
"Good, very good! Take care of Mrs. Neville, don't let anyone touch her, I'll handle this."
Good? Kevin was puzzled, how could it be good?
After hanging up, Kevin walked dazedly to Agnes. At this moment, a group of wealthy women and well-dressed middle-aged men were surrounding Agnes, accusing her, "Where did this woman come from, daring to treat my daughter like this! Today, you'll see our power!"
Leon from Paragon Industries Group was sweating profusely, trying to mediate. None of today's guests could be offended, "I will personally cover the losses of the ladies, please calm down."
Marissa helped Grace up, glared at Grace, and politely said to Leon, "Thank you, Leon, but there's no need. It's just a dress!"
Jeffrey was puzzled, how had Agnes suddenly made so many enemies? Since Agnes appeared, he and Marissa had been keeping an eye on her, and everything had been fine before.
At this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar gentle voice interrupted the dispute, "Everyone, I apologize for today's losses. I, Michael, will take full responsibility. I'm sorry for the trouble Agnes has caused."
Everyone turned in surprise to see a man in a white suit, with one hand in his pocket, elegantly holding a glass of red wine as he walked into the crowd.
Michael, who used to have ear-length hair, now had a neat buzz cut, and his slanted eyes were filled with warmth. He was the newly risen wealthy man in Lumina City, Michael!
"Michael!" It was Michael's mother, Chloe Jenkins. She looked incredulously at Michael, who had stepped forward to defend Agnes.
Michael glanced at his parents and Faith, said nothing, and walked straight to Agnes, finally stopping in front of her with a smile. That smile contained affection, amazement, and complex emotions.
