In the open hall, guests not watching the performance, each holding a glass of wine, form small circles of twos and threes, warming up to each other, engaging in lively banter and laughter.
After Olivia Jenkins finished her tango, Daniel Marshall also left his seat, and Benjamin Johnson noticed it, prompting him to leave the center of the hall as well.
Suddenly, Jordan Bennett called out to Benjamin Johnson.
âI didnât expect you to come. As far as I know, Daniel didnât send you an invitation.â
Beniamin Johnson contemptuously stared at Jordan Bennett. His expression was carefree, a cruel smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, âSo, you want to throw me out? Jordan Bennett, you really think youâre Daniel, huh?â
âIt seems youâre the one who is still living in a dream, seeing yourself as Daniel.
You, hoping to usurp him.â
Unexpectedly, Matthew Marshall walked over with a glass of red wine and interjected, âThe president of the Continental Bank invited him. I saw it.â
Benjamin Johnson smiled enigmatically, affectionately patting Matthew on the shoulder, âYou, have a good eye! One of these days, Iâll introduce you to the president.â
âThank you, Benjamin!â Matthew replied with a slight twitch of his lips.
âYou two carry on chatting, I need to go to the restroom,â said Johnson.
Benjamin dropped this remark and walked away, not before shooting Jordan Bennett a cold glance.
The fierce eyes of Jordan Bennett were filled with intense cold.
He glared at Matthew Marshall, then turned around and left.
âSo, Jordan, do you dislike me that much? Or is it that you are too eager to go find my sister-in-law?â
Suddenly, Jordan Bennett halted his steps, looked back at Matthew with a sense of indifference, âItâs no wonder your brother never pays any attention to you, because youâre not worth noticing. You should take care of yourself before you start worrying about Daniel, a defeated man. Iâm not interested in talking with you.â
Jordan Bennett walked away, leaving Matthew to stare at his retreating figure with a stormy gaze.
The rage in Matthewâs heart was smoldering, but he didnât show it. He simply tightened his grip on the tall glass.
One day, he would make everyone see him in a new light.
He would definitely amaze everyone.
As Benjamin Johnson was about to head to the restroom, Simon Howard suddenly appeared, blocking his path.
âMr. Johnson, at this time, shouldnât you be concerned about your accomplice instead?â
The handsome face of Benjamin Johnson remained extremely calm, his sharp eyes scrutinizing Simon Howard.
Wherever Simon Howard appeared, Daniel Marshall was sure to be there.
âI donât understand what youâre saying,â Benjamin Johnson attempted to bypass Simon Howard, but Simon reached out, blocking him again.
âMr. Johnson is very clever. You surely understand my intentions. Are you planning to abandon your accomplice and not care about her fate?â
Benjamin was blocked again, and he was beginning to get irritated. He glared fiercely at Simon Howard, âYouâre nothing but a dog raised by Daniel!â âIn Mr. Johnsonâs eyes, all he sees are dogs! In here, dogs arenât allowed!â
Benjamin Johnson pursed his lips tightly, the intense fury in his eyes almost spewing out, âYou better be careful, donât fall into my hands, or else not even Daniel can save you.â
âMr. Johnson is so arrogant that he openly snatches someone elseâs wife? It was the same situation a few years ago. Indeed, a dog canât change its eating habits!â
âWatch your mouth!â
Benjamin Johnson was agitated, pointing at Simon Howard, as if ready for a fight.
In an instant, Colin Davis and a few of his men appeared, âMr. Johnson, if you refuse to comply, we can offer you a very warm welcome. Also, donât blame me for reminding you, at this moment, you should be concerned about your accomplice â Miss Bennet! You know very well what despicable things youâve done. Do you still need my special reminder?â
âIf you think this is not enough, we can go and find Miss Bennet for a fair judgment. If it werenât for you, Miss Bennet would never have lent the black feather dress to Miss Bennet..â
