Hearing this, everyone on the scene could no longer stay calm.
"I'm just here to attend a banquet. How could I be so unlucky to meet Mr. Sinclair's enemy? Where the hell is Mr. Sinclair? Did he know that someone was taking revenge on him and he hid?"
"Mr. Sinclair is so wicked! He tricked us into coming here, and he ran away! I even suspect that this is a conspiracy by him to kill us and make the Sinclair Group monopolize Goldenville!"
"You are really good at conspiracy theories. Don't forget the Collins family in Goldenville. No matter how powerful the Sinclair Group is, it cannot be compared with the Collins family!"
"Boo-hoo, I don't know anything. I just want to leave, but I don't want to die!"
*****
Amid the scolding of Kenneth, someone suddenly raised his voice and said, "Stephen! You are Stephen Chavez!"
Stephen Chavez was the former CEO of the Chavez Group. Before it went bankrupt, the Chavez Group was one of the Eight Major Families in Goldenville. Later, when competing with Kenneth in business, Stephen made a wrong decision, which led to the collapse of the Chavez Group like a domino. Since then, the Chavez family had disappeared in Goldenville.
However, in Goldenville, people went bankrupt and made a comeback every day. At first, the collapse of the Chavez family was mentioned, but later few people remembered that there used to be such a family in Goldenville.
Stephen didn't expect that someone would recognize him. He sneered, "Yes, two years ago, Kenneth destroyed my family. Now he has become a new rich man in Goldenville. When my parents died, I couldn't even afford to buy a cemetery for them. So far, their ashes can only be kept at home. I must make Kenneth pay the price!"
Seeing his crazy look, everyone was shocked.
Someone tried to persuade Stephen, "Stephen, as you can see, Kenneth is not at the scene now. It's no use killing your hostage. Your deceased parents are pitiful. Isn't this innocent woman held by you pathetic? "Let her go first..."
Before he could finish her words, Stephen interrupted him coldly.
"Well, if I let her go, you will immediately ask the security guards to take me away. Do you think I am a fool?" said Stephen.
As soon as he finished, someone suddenly pointed at Angela who was standing by the door, and said, "Stephen, you got the wrong person. Although Kenneth is not here, his girlfriend is here. Even if you want to hold someone hostage, you should also hold his girlfriend hostage so that Kenneth may come out!"
Suddenly everyone's eyes fell on Angela, and most of them were filled with anger. After all, they just came to a banquet, but now they might risk their lives.
"Yes! You should catch her! I heard that Kenneth's deceased ex-wife was her elder sister, and now she hooked up with her brother-in-law. This kind of woman deserves to die!"
"I know she's not a good girl because of her coquettish clothes!"
"I also support catching her and threatening Kenneth!"
"Are you out of your mind? Aren't you afraid that Kenneth will come at you?"
"I'm in such danger now. Do I care whether he comes at me or not?"
Angela looked at these people coldly, especially the woman who wanted to hand her over. If she remembered correctly, it was the youngest daughter of the Bolton family in Goldenville.
Angela was vindictive. She would not let go of anyone who plotted against her.
Angela didn't know whether she looked like that Ms. Lewis. Yet, given how these people looked, if she refused to swap with that woman, they would not let her leave.
Angela smiled and said slowly, "Okay. I can swap with the woman on the stage, but I have one condition."
"What is it?" asked someone.
"I want her to go with me," said Angela.
While talking, Angela pointed to Vanessa Bolton, the youngest daughter of the Bolton family.
Vanessa was stunned for a moment and then shouted angrily, "You are going to risk your neck. Why did you drag me along with you?"
Angela's smile turned cold. "So you also know that you are going to risk your neck?"
