At the place where Felix Baker stood, there were naturally many people. Even though Clarissa Masonâs voice was not loud, everyone around still heard it.
There were smirking and discussing.
Most of them didnât know about the Cold Green Village.
Amelia Miles heard this and a hint of laughter emerged in her eyes.
She knew that bringing this woman would save her a lot of trouble. It seems that she did not inculcate those ideas into her for nothing.
They did come in handy at critical moments.
âFurthermoreâ¦â Clarissa Mason covered her mouth with her hand, leaned closer to Felix Baker and whispered, âSheâs an illegitimate daughter.â
When she finished, Clarissa Mason couldnât help but laugh, looking at Daisy Zane with eyes full of triumph and provocation.
âClarissa Mason, isnât it a bit too much to make fun of other peopleâs origins?â Hill Dawson said.
âI am just stating the facts, not joking. She has such a background, can you blame me? Itâs not like people canât talk about it.â
Felix Baker lowered his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up, and then looked at Clarissa Mason and said, âMiss, you said she has poor taste. But
Lady Zane just said she likes my designed hairpin. Are you saying my design is also in poor taste?â
The smile on Clarissa Masonâs face quickly disappeared, turning into shock in an instant, as if she hadnât heard what Felix Baker was saying.
Seeing this, the discussions around them gradually died down as well.
Felix Baker still maintained a gentle smile on his face, his tone very mild, âYou said she is uneducated, so what? Are uneducated people born inferior? Do people born in Cold Green Village not have the right to struggle and strive?â
âIâ¦â Clarissa Masonâs face turned pale quickly, and she couldnât help but stagger backward. âI didnât meanâ¦â
âI think some educated people are just wasting educational resources while still having a low quality.â Felix Baker didnât show any mercy at all.
On his turf, bullying his Chief Designer, did they think he was dead?
âToday is the Spotlightâs gala event, Iâm discussing some design ideas with Lady Zane. This lady barges in without any care, even saying some absurd things. Are you trying to slap my face? Or the face of Spotlight?â
âI donât mean that, I havenât. I didnât mean that,â Clarissa Mason panicked.
Olivia Chesterâs face turned green like the leaves washed after rain, and she cursed Clarissa Mason as a fool in her heart.
âEveryone has their aesthetics. Itâs normal that some people like and some dislike the things we design,â Felix Baker said. âI often quarrel with Clayson Ninevaraâs designer because we have different opinions. In fact, now she wants to scold me as soon as she sees me.â
After Felix finished speaking, he glanced at Daisy Zane: âLady Zaneâs opinion is exactly the same as Clayson Ninevaraâs.â
Daisy Zane: .
With the mention of âClayson Ninevara,â it stirred up quite a bit of discussion among the crowd again.
They were either praising her design or asking if Clayson Ninevara would show her face today.
âLady Zane, please follow me, letâs go to the resting room for further discussion.â Felix Baker made an inviting gesture, completely ignoring the others.
Hill Dawson immediately followed Felix Baker with Daisy Zane, not forgetting to give Olivia Chester a very triumphant look.
Olivia Chesterâs face turned even more green, she walked over to Clarissa Mason and dragged her to the restroom.
âDaisy Zaneâs path ahead is likely going to be skyrocketing. Who has ever seen Felix Baker be so protective of someone?â
âSheâs beautiful, and in this entire hall, sheâs the most dazzling. Just look, who doesnât give her a few extra glances?â
âI heard sheâs the illegitimate daughter of the Miles Family from Truro City.â
âSo what? It doesnât matter if her background is bad; as long as her path ahead is smooth, thatâs what matters.â
âIâm even a bit jealous now. Felix Baker is so wealthy, talented, and handsome.â âWho isnât? Didnât you hear how sour my tone was?â
Amelia Miles stood in place, watching Daisy Zaneâs back and listening to the gossip around her. The look in her eyes grew increasingly fierce and resentful. Her nails dug into her palm without loosening her grip.
Why, why is she everywhere, in every situation?
Olivia Chester took Clarissa Mason to the restroom, locked the door, and without hesitation slapped her in the face. âWorthless! You do more harm than good! I shouldnât have brought you here. You try to steal the spotlight without considering the situation. How did I raise such a useless person?â
With that, she slapped her again.
Clarissa directly fell to the ground, her knee hitting the sharp edge under the sink. Blood flowed out instantly.
She bit her lip, not letting herself cry out, but tears still streamed down her face.
Itâs Daisy Zane again, why wonât she just disappear? Why wonât she die?
On the second floor of the conference hall, Kevin Clark and Phoebe Turner had been watching the whole farce unfold.
Although they couldnât hear what was being said, they could more or less understand the situation by watching.
âFelix Baker is a smiling tiger. On the surface, he is gentle as jade, but deep down, thereâs a vicious wolf,â said Phoebe Turner, who was almost fifty but well preserved, appearing to be in her thirties.
With a beautiful face and charming eyes, every move she made was enchanting. Her sensuality, maturity, and liveliness were fully embodied in her.
âHe is only after his own interests. He wouldnât stick his neck out for just anyone,â she said, looking at Kevin Clark. âYou understand what Iâm saying, donât you, Kevin?â
Kevin Clark looked down at the people below, his eyes ruthless.
Anyone with eyes could see that Felix Baker had taken a liking to Daisy Zane.
âKevin, since youâve taken a fancy to such a beauty, you have to bear the pain of her being liked by others,â Phoebe Turner said. âBesides, sheâs in the entertainment industry, and there will be many fans in the future. More people will like her. You understand what Iâm trying to say, right?â
Kevin Clark looked at her and replied, âI understand. Like Xavier Dominicâs father, I should make a move early, legalize the relationship, and then whoever likes her, Iâll show them the marriage certificate, so they wonât dare to covet her.â
Phoebe Turnerâs mouth twitched. Is that what I meant?
âYou stay here and rest for a while, Iâll go downstairs to take care of some things,â Kevin Clark said before turning and leaving.
Phoebe Turner looked at him, then at the assistant behind her, speechless.
What she meant was that he should have the awareness of being a celebrity husband, not to be jealous. Instead, she was not trying to make him go down the same old road as Henry Horton.
A lovely young girl, who would willingly get married and become pregnant at an early age!
You didnât understand a damn thing!
Felix Baker originally intended to take Daisy Zane to the rest area, but he was just about to reach the door when someone called him away. So, he just opened the door for her to rest and went to deal with his business without even having the chance to say a few words.
Upon entering the room and closing the door, Hill Dawson burst into laughter, âOh, that was so enjoyable. You didnât see the look on Olivia Chesterâs face; it was even blacker than the bottom of a pot.â
Daisy Zane sat down on the sofa, pressing her forehead, finally finding some peace.
âLucia, do you think Felix Baker is into you?â Hill Dawson sat down next to her.
âWhy would he protect you like that?â
Daisy Zane wanted to say because he started the confrontation in the first place, so of course he would protect her, or else he might be beaten to a pulp tonight. In the end, she just said: âIâm not interested in him.â
Hill Dawson laughed, âTrue, although heâs good-looking, he still falls short compared to Third Master.â
Hearing the words âThird Master,â Daisy Zane couldnât help but purse her lips slightly, feeling a heated sensation on her lips.
Suddenly, she realized that the development of some events might have deviated from her expectations..
