Chapter 14 Came for Matthew
When Myra heard this, her face turned gloomy.
Then she lowered her eyes, pretending to be hurt.
Myra's voice trembled as if he was about to cry. "I'm sorry... I just..."
She spoke intermittently and looked overwhelmed, like a bullied little rabbit.
Her appearance immediately aroused the anger of most of the people present!
Many people knew Trista's identity and immediately started discussing, "My God. Is Trista actually from the Bryant family? Isn't that... Mr. Myers' ex-wife?"
"Do you know what Trista did back then? Why dare she treat Myra like this?"
"That's right. Trista was the one who pushed Myra down the stairs. Isn't Trista the reason Myra is lame now?"
"Myra is only able to be civil to Trista because she's a decent person inside."
"Trista doesn't have a heart. Such a vicious woman, no wonder her biological parents don't want to recognize her."
The words of condemnation, in different situations, cut into Trista's heart just as they had done before.
Trista felt a little cold, but the surrounding voices did not stop.
"Who is this person? She didn't come out here tonight specifically for Mr. Myers, did she?"
"Would she be ashamed? Mr. Myers and Myra already have children. And she has no shame in chasing after Mr. Myers!"
...
Listening to the hurtful words, she couldn't help but darken her face a little, no matter how strong Trista was these years.
Myra saw her goal had been achieved, and a smug smile flashed across her eyes.
After a while, Myra put on an understanding look and said to the guests, "Everyone, stop talking about Trista like that."
Myra looked at Trista and said gently, "The reason I fell down the stairs back then was entirely due to an accident. And it had nothing to do with Trista. Don't talk about her anymore."
After listening to Myra's explanation, if the scene weren't suitable, Trista would have rolled her eyes.
This seemingly well-intentioned explanation was to show Myra's kindness and make Trista look more vicious.
The guests around Myra were very cooperative.
"Myra is too kind to defend this kind of person."
"Trista has such a pretty face, but she is a bitch. Is it so hard to admit a mistake?"
"I really don't understand how such a person can still come to the Porter family's banquet."
"Mr. Porter, Trista has aroused public outrage. Hurry up and drive her out."
Benson stood where he was, looking at Matthew with great interest.
Matthew naturally heard those harsh words.
Matthew felt a little irritable. And his eyes never left Trista's face from the beginning to the end.
Naturally, Matthew also saw the change in Trista.
A strange dull feeling filled his heart. Matthew wanted to speak, but Trista said coldly, "Miss Myra Bryant, your acting skills are as good as ever. It's a pity you don't enter the entertainment industry as an actor. Otherwise, you would have won the best actress."
Myra was ridiculed, but she pretended to be stunned. "Trista... Why do you say that about me?"
Trista sneered. "Why do I say that, don't you know? Myra, you like others to cater to you. I have no objection. But don't do that in front of me! I think it's quite annoying."
"I..."
Myra was refuted sharply. Her eyes changed slightly.
Myra brought it up because she thought Trista was wrong.
It turned out that Trista was so stubborn.
Myra immediately pretended to be guilty and said, "I'm sorry..."
This scene aroused public outrage again.
"Trista, shame on you. Get out!"
"Yeah, go out. Is this the kind of place you could come to?"
"You didn't deserve Mr. Myers then, and now you still don't."
Trista looked cold and wanted to say something.
As a result, Matthew said impatiently, "You are really noisy."
Unexpectedly, his voice was chilly in the chaotic banquet hall.
Everyone was stunned, stopped discussing, and looked at Matthew in surprise.
Myra was also stunned. Matthew... Would he stand up for Trista?
Trista also took a look at Matthew with a flat face.
She didn't think Matthew was helping her...
Sure enough, in the next second, Matthew's face was cold, and his tone could not be heard with joy or anger.
"Is the Porter family's banquet originally a market? The old matters have to be brought out to stir up the atmosphere. Don't you take the Myers family seriously?"
Having said that, Matthew looked at Benson.
Benson, who was the host of the banquet, touched his nose and didn't speak.
Everyone was frightened and fell silent.
Indeed, their discussion also involved the Myers family.
What kind of existence was the Myers family?
How dare they gossip about their past in front of Mr. Myers!
How dare they!
The guests around were silent because of the shock of Matthew.
Only Myra was suspicious.
Was Matthew really just angry because the Myers family was being gossiped about?
Why was Myra so unhappy?
Trista was at the center of public opinion and always had a calm face.
From the beginning, Trista didn't think Matthew would speak for her.
This man's preference had never been Trista.
Fortunately, Trista didn't care anymore...
So Trista just glanced at him lightly, then looked away. And she slightly raised her red lips, showing a wanton smile. "Everyone wants to drive me away so much, but unfortunately, I will let you down because tonight I was invited by Mr. Porter!"
When she said this, she looked at Benson at the side. Then she said lightly, "Hello, Mr. Porter. I'm here on behalf of Zelin Company to discuss cooperation. I saw too many people around you, which was inconvenient, so I didn't bother you."
With a simple sentence, Trista directly clarified that she did not come to Matthew.
And even more surprising, Trista was actually on behalf of Zelin Company!
The guests who had already shut up immediately paid attention to her again and couldn't help but look towards Trista.
There were a lot of people here tonight for Aletta from Zelin Company!
Matthew's eyes became slightly cold. And his probing gaze fell on Trista.
After listening to Trista's introduction, Benson was also a little surprised. He changed his spectator attitude and said with a good attitude, "Hello, Miss Bryant. Why are you here? Didn't Zelin Company say Aletta would come in person? Or are you..."
"Of course not."
Trista didn't even think about it and directly denied Benson's conjecture.
With Benson's confused expression, Trista explained, "I am Aletta's assistant! Aletta has just returned from abroad and was a little uncomfortable in the afternoon. She was worried she would hurt Porter Group's kindness, so she held on. But halfway, she couldn't stand it, so she had to return to rest first. Therefore, she let me come and talk to you about cooperation on her behalf."
