Chapter 154
Agnes didn't mind, she just thought Leopold was too overbearing and muttered softly, "We're just good friends, you know that, why threaten him?" She even suspected now that Leopold had called Peter.
"My fault?" Leopold's voice turned colder.
Agnes quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, it's my fault, my fault. You should quickly tell his dad that Peter has already located him and is ready to drag him home for a beating!"
"You'd feel sorry if he got beaten?"
Kevin walked in and saw Leopold mouthing to him to contact Peter. Seeing Leopold's unusually gentle expression, Kevin immediately understood who had made the call.
Agnes lost her patience completely, put away all her emotions, and asked Leopold indifferently, "Are you going to call or not?"
Leopold played with a lighter, "I need a promise." You promise not to get so close to Justin anymore.
"Leopold, how many times do I have to say it for you to believe? We're just friends, we've been friends for years, can you just cut it off like that?" She turned to Justin and said, "You go back and face the music, or I'll really lose a good friend!"
Justin was speechless to the extreme.
Bella, Clara, and Jeremy laughed out loud.
Before ending the call, Leopold threw a sentence to Agnes, "Kevin has already contacted Mr. Smith."
Looking at the hung-up phone, Agnes blinked, a bit confused. So he meant he pleaded with Peter? Justin wouldn't be dragged back for a beating?
Agnes helplessly looked up at the sky, thinking Leopold was such a bad man, why didn't he say so earlier, just teasing her! She quickly opened WhatsApp and sent a message to Leopold, "You're the best!"
"Leopold really won't care?" Justin had made up his mind, if Leopold didn't help him, he would introduce a lot of boyfriends to Agnes!
Agnes wasn't sure either, "He should help, let's wait and see."
From Justin's house to Sunrise International Shopping Mall was just a ten-minute drive. Until they finished eating on the fifth floor of Alioth, they didn't see anyone sent by Peter, and everyone understood.
Justin was so excited, he put an arm around Agnes's shoulder, "I really want to hug and kiss you, and then kiss Leopold too!"
Bella coldly reminded, "If you dare kiss Agnes, you can go to hell."
Justin deliberately put on a proud look, "So, I'll hold back!"
Everyone around shook their heads, Justin was hopeless!
After everyone parted ways, Agnes returned to the manor, found the clothes Leopold mentioned, changed into them, put on light makeup, and it was almost the agreed time.
The banquet was held in a private room on the fifth floor of Alioth. When they appeared in a certain room, everyone was already present.
After some pleasantries, the two were invited to the main seat. Someone pulled out the main seat chair for Leopold, but he didn't sit down immediately, instead, he looked at Agnes beside him, "The room is very warm, take off your coat."
Agnes blushed slightly, nodded, and took off her coat.
These business veterans were very shrewd, seeing Leopold being so protective of Agnes, their enthusiasm immediately turned to her. Someone took her coat, someone pulled out a chair, and a group of bosses were busy.
After everyone sat down, someone boldly asked Leopold, "Mr. Neville, is this Mrs. Neville?"
Leopold smiled slightly, looked at Agnes, and said nothing.
Agnes was a bit confused, what did Leopold mean?
The atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds, just as someone was about to break the silence, Leopold spoke, "My wife is very low-key, and I promised her a secret marriage, so you need to ask Mrs. Neville if she wants to go public."
It was rare for Leopold to say so much, and everyone was a bit surprised. But he went around in a circle and still admitted that the person beside him was his wife!
Everyone reacted, smiling, and turned their attention to the always-smiling Agnes, saying all kinds of compliments.
Agnes had never experienced such a scene, she was completely stunned, not knowing how to respond. At this moment, she heard Leopold continue, "She is shy and doesn't like to talk, let's eat first."
Agnes remained silent.
Everyone immediately echoed Leopold and changed the topic, the waiters started serving dishes, and the scene was lively.
Agnes ate the food Leopold served her, lost in thought. This time accompanying Leopold to dinner, and what he just said, was equivalent to making their relationship public.
But Leopold telling everyone her identity didn't seem wrong. Thinking of this, Agnes didn't dwell on it anymore.
Listening to them talk about work while eating.
After Leopold sat down and said that, he didn't speak again, even so, many people kept seeking his opinion.
Halfway through the meal, Agnes whispered to Leopold, "I'm going to the restroom."
Leopold glanced at the private restroom in the room and found someone inside. He asked, "Should I accompany you?"
"No need, you guys talk business, I'll be quick."
Walking out of the room, Agnes breathed a sigh of relief, the atmosphere inside was nice but a bit boring.
Passing by the smoking area, she unintentionally overheard two people talking softly. She wasn't eavesdropping on purpose, mainly because they mentioned Leopold's name.
"Mr. Neville just revealed his secret marriage yesterday, and today he brought Mrs. Neville out."
"Don't know which family's daughter Mrs. Neville is, better be cautious in the future, no one dares to ask."
"What do you think Leopold wants to do tonight?"
"What do you mean? Just think a bit, Mr. Neville's actions and words tonight are telling everyone that the person he brought is Mrs. Neville, and she must be well treated. Wherever Mrs. Neville goes in the future, she must not be neglected."
Agnes stopped in her tracks, feeling helpless: even having a meal has so many implications?
But thinking carefully, it made sense. Leopold never said unnecessary words, he was better in front of her, but in front of others, he didn't say a word more.
To avoid awkwardness, she bypassed the smoking area and went to the restroom.
On her way back, she happened to see a private room door open, and people were coming out one after another.
Agnes originally wanted to avoid them, but she unintentionally saw a familiar figure, and that person called out to her, "Agnes?" The voice was full of surprise.
