"What would you like to eat?" Franklin asked gently, passing her the menu.
"I will have stewed chicken, crispy fried shrimp, and sautéed mushrooms," Sylvia ordered some dishes readily.
It was not until she finished ordering that the rest of them started to order.
Nathen saw this when he aggressively walked toward them with Tammy.
The woman with clear bright eyes, white teeth, and delicate eyebrows fluttered her long eyelashes. Her flawless fair complexion was pinky, and her lips were tender and rosy like rose petals.
The man next to the woman was extraordinarily handsome with a powerful vibe. Even only in a black shirt, he looked perfectly like the leader among them.
Nathen's eyes were wide open as he recognized the rest.
He blurted out, "Mr. Carrillo, why are you having dinner with this vicious woman? Don't you know she..."
Before he got to finish, Mr. Carrillo frowned and interrupted him abruptly, "Mr. Beasley, what are you talking about? Dr. Sylvia is a phenomenal doctor. She has saved the lives of many dying patients. How can you be so rude?"
Nathen Beasley, the associate dean, had a low EQ.
He had a favorable family background but had been single for many years because of his low EQ.
He was about to reach his forties, and yet he hadn't married.
He was good at his job, but not good at socializing with people.
Mr. Carrillo glanced at Tammy, who was holding her hands with Nathen, and soon understood what was going on.
He felt a wave of wild fury overcome him. He almost had the urge to strangle Nathen to death.
Sylvia was an eminent doctor he invited to give the lecture to the students. What should he do if Nathen pissed her off?
"Mr. Carrillo, don't be deceived by her beautiful look. She bullies her sister, her stepmother, her stepbrother, and her grandmother. She has done all those evil things !" Agitated by Mr. Carrillo's preference over Sylvia, he couldn't help but shout, "You can ask my girlfriend if you don't believe it. She has lived with Sylvia for many years."
His words made Tammy become the focus of people's attention. Tammy couldn't believe Nathen, that stupid man, did such a stupid thing.
That caught her off guard. Her face was blushing, and her heart was pounding, not least because of those sharp gazes upon her.
"My father is in prison all because of her. My mom is sick too, and it's her fault too."
"Did she ask your dad to evade tax? Did she make you date Dale Shea?" Franklin's face darkened and he shot daggers at Tammy. He would not allow anyone to denigrate his woman in public.
He thought Tammy would reflect on her misdeeds after the Andrews family got into trouble, but she turned out to be worse.
A leopard can't change its spots.
Franklin's icy look sent a chill down Tammy's spine.
She sought protection by standing behind Nathen's back.
Nathen was trying to act like a manly man in his girlfriend's presence. "Mr. Maskelyne, I know you are a respectable man. But Sylvia is really bad, so you'd better stay away from her, or she will put you in big trouble someday."
"Shut up!" The man was forbidding and menacing.
The atmosphere at the restaurant was very tense.
Franklin gave a stern look at the couple before glancing at Jasper, who was behind him.
Jasper got the hint and dialed a number.
Dozens of bodyguards in black suits swarmed from all directions to surround the couple.
Although he was from a well-educated, rich family, Nathen was just someone with a daily routine between home and school.
He had never been in such a situation.
