Chapter 11 My Name Is...

Fergus suddenly bolted out of the villa, overwhelmed by a rush of desire.

Violet laughed heartily.

About five minutes later, Violet, now dressed, walked out of Sky Palace, clearly annoyed. "How's your driving? Drive me, and if you drive well, I'll grant you a wish."

Fergus grabbed the car keys. "Where to?"

"Tarynville Hotel, for Violet's meet-and-greet!" she replied.

Fergus thought, 'What a coincidence.'

At Tarynville Hotel, luxury cars were everywhere, and guests filled the place. The invitees included local elites and big shots from State Capital.

Fergus parked the car and went upstairs with Violet. She observed his calm demeanor and nodded in approval, thinking, 'No wonder Ryan lent him the villa; he's not fazed by this grand scene.'

She took Fergus' arm and teased, "Handsome, inside are all big shots. Aren't you nervous? Why do I feel a bit scared?"

Maintaining calm, Fergus didn't push her away, since Violet was his date. He reassured her, "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one will touch you today."

This was Violet's meet-and-greet, and he was here to break off the engagement. Until then, he was still the host.

Violet blinked, looking at him admiringly. "Handsome, you're so manly. Your words make me wanna lean on you all the time. Can't move now."

Fergus was speechless.

"Fergus!" a sudden roar came from the banquet hall. It was Mr. White, who collaborated with Jessica.

With his shout, most guests turned to look.

Mr. White raged, "You liar, criminal. How dare you come here and act up? I thought you were someone important, but you're just a thief fresh out of prison!"

He had just gone to toast Hayden and mentioned Fergus, only to see Hayden's cold face and hear him say that Fergus was disgusting, making him feel humiliated.

"Handsome, it seems you've met an enemy," Violet whispered.

Fergus frowned, watching Mr. White approach, and said unhappily, "Keep your voice down. It's deafening."

"Hmph!" Mr. White snorted, "I'm talking to scum like you. Why should I keep my voice down? I want everyone to hear and know you're a jerk!"

"Everyone, this is the liar who scammed me out of millions and pretended to be someone important. He's here tonight to scam again!"

Everyone turned, surprised.

"A liar? How did a liar get in here?"

"Look at his clothes, definitely from the margins of society."

Fergus frowned more tightly and said coldly, "Mr. White, you need evidence to back your words. How did I scam you?"

Mr. White's mouth twitched; he had no evidence because he gave the contract to Jessica willingly.

Mr. White sneered, "It's easy to provide evidence. With your status, you have no right to be here. Where's your invitation letter?"

He ignored Violet, thinking, 'Liars are best at deceiving women, and bringing a beauty here would make him more convincing.'

"I don't have one," Fergus said calmly. "But I'm not here for the meet-and-greet; I'm here to see Violet!"

Everyone was stunned, then burst into laughter. "He dared to say he was here to see Violet? A liar like him?"

"This bastard must have heard me say Ms. Gray was coming to Tarynville yesterday and came to scam!" Linda sneered from a distance.

"You're so greedy, even trying to scam Ms. Gray," Hayden sneered beside Linda.

Sophia, in an evening gown, looked gorgeous, watching coldly.

At the door, Mr. White laughed heartily. "You think you can scam Ms. Gray? Do you know she's a noble lady from Capital City? Look at yourself. Do you think you're worthy of knowing her?"

Another round of laughter erupted.

Violet was surprised. He was here to see her? She quickly thought maybe Radiant Overlord Ryan Cox sent him, as it would be hard for him to find a job after prison.

Fergus's face darkened. "You can bring Violet out to verify. Also, if you laugh again, I don't mind making your mouth keep open for the rest of your life!"

Mr. White saw Fergus's eyes, feeling like he was being stared at by a demon, and didn't dare to speak.

At that moment, a loud shout came from the banquet hall. It was Tyler. Although he couldn't understand why Mr. Quinn hadn't got back at Fergus yet, his father had instructed him to mess around with Ms. Gray. Fergus mentioning Violet was a perfect opportunity to show off!

Tyler sneered, "Fergus, yesterday, you made a scene at Mr. Johnson's house, claiming to have an engagement with Sophia. Now you're here making a fool of yourself again. You never change, do you?"

The room erupted before Fergus could respond.

"What? He has an engagement with Sophia?"

"How could Sophia be interested in him!"

"Is it fake, Mr. Johnson? Is it fake?"

Everyone turned to Hayden.

Hayden gritted his teeth in anger. Tyler really knew how to stir things up.

"It's fake," Hayden explained. "This guy pretended to be a master yesterday, treating Sophia, and claimed there was an engagement set by my father, even producing a prenuptial agreement."

"I knew it was fake. So, I kicked him out immediately!"

Linda, worried people wouldn't believe it, added, "Mr. White just said he's a liar who got out of prison. A person like him would do anything, including a marriage scam."

"Also, yesterday, he almost killed Sophia while treating her. We didn't hold a grudge, and he still dares to show up. It's disgusting."

"Where are the security guards? Get him out of here!"

Fergus sneered, thinking the Johnson family was truly ungrateful.

"No need to throw him out. I'll handle this!" Tyler smiled. He had brought up the engagement to make Hayden deny it in front of everyone, humiliating Fergus.

He also wanted to show his capability in front of Ms. Gray. Tyler wouldn't let go of Fergus, who was a stepping stone.

Tyler arrogantly said, "Fergus, now everyone knows you're a liar. You can't scam anyone here."

"But I understand people like you are relentless and disgusting. Tell me, what do you want to leave? I'll fulfill your wish on behalf of Ms. Gray!"

Everyone exchanged glances, knowing Tyler was showing off to win Ms. Gray's attention. They secretly admired him, thinking he was indeed a smart new heir.

Logan also nodded, seeing a promising future for the Shaw family.

Violet finally couldn't help but speak, "Do you think you can speak on behalf of Ms. Gray?"

Tyler instinctively looked over. Upon seriously looking at Violet, he was stunned by her beauty. Why were all the women around Fergus so stunning?

He also wanted to get her into bed!

Tyler arrogantly said, "Of course. As the heir of the Logan Group and a guest invited by Ms. Gray, if I can't, do you think a bitch like you can?"

People around Fergus weren't worth his attention. Mentioning his status to attract others' attention, just like Jessica.

Everyone watched with interest, thinking, 'If it were Mr. Gray, she might have a chance, but an ordinary woman? No way.'

Violet's face darkened, but before she could speak, Fergus suddenly said, "Apologize to her!"

Tyler mocked, "What did you say? Who are you to order me to apologize to her? Does she deserve it? Do you deserve it?"

Before Tyler could finish, Fergus quickly stepped forward, grabbing his neck, expressionless. "You, apologize!"

Tyler was instantly choked, eyes filled with shock. He never expected Fergus to dare act in such a setting, clearly feeling the breath of death.

Everyone in the hall was stunned, not expecting Fergus to make a move.

"Let go of Tyler, or I'll kill your entire family!" Logan was the first to recover, shouting in panic.

"Let go of Tyler. If you harm him, I'll make sure you cannot leave here tonight!" Hayden also spoke. This was Ms. Gray's banquet, and order had to be maintained.

Fergus seemed not to hear, his grip tightening.

Tyler began to roll his eyes.

"Stop!" Sophia, who had been silent, stepped forward, frowning. "Fergus, do you know what kind of occasion this is?"

"All the big shots of Tarynville are here. How dare you mess around here? Let go. If you harm Mr. Shaw, you'll not only be against all of Tarynville but also against Ms. Gray. Do you want to die?"

Fergus sneered, "If he doesn't apologize, I don't care if I'm against all of Tarynville or Ms. Gray, even the whole world!"

That was how he was. He could endure some grievances, but not those around him!

Boom! Everyone felt like they were struck by lightning.

'A madman? Truly a madman, arrogant to the extreme. No wonder he went to prison!' they thought.

Violet felt inexplicably touched, biting her lip as she looked at Fergus. He said that for her?

"Ahhh..." Linda screamed in anger, eyes wide with rage. "You bastard. How dare you defy my daughter for a bitch?"

Violet suddenly looked over. "Why not?"

"Shut up!" Linda jumped in fury. "Who are you? Do you think you're worthy of talking to me?"

Fergus said indifferently, "Tell her, I'll make sure you're worthy of talking to anyone!"

Violet faced everyone, saying word by word, "My name is Violet Gray!"
