"Rachael, it is a misunderstanding. I hope your boyfriend doesn't get angry!" For her daughter's sake, Kaliyah could only eat humble pie.
"Kaliyah, you are mistaken. Kieran won't be angry." I replied.
"That's good. Then, please countermand your order!" Kaliyah turned to the two black-clothed bodyguards who were treading on Emmalee.
I chuckled, "Kieran never gets mad at a random guy. He's a neat freak and is afraid to be sullied!"
"You...!"
"Kaliyah, William, you should get seats somewhere else. There is no room for you!" Marvin spat. He was so callous that he allowed no one to refute.
"Marvin!" Marisa freaked but interjected by Marvin's cold gaze.
Kaliyah and William knew that Marvin had made up his mind. They glanced at Emmalee, who was still trampled, and got up in silence. Although they hated it, they had no other choice.
"Mr. Charles, sit down please. The food is getting cold!" Marvin hurried to fawn on him.
"Kieran, it tastes good!" I took a bite and smirked.
Kieran nodded to me, "Eat more if you like!"
The well-trained bodyguards came up and took away the chairs of Kaliyah and William. Only after chairs and tableware were changed did Kieran sit down beside me.
"Hurry to bring up all the new dishes we specially prepared for Mr. Charles!" Marvin ordered and the servants served the dishes in a hurry.
"Kieran, have a try. It tastes really good!" I picked up a piece of meat and reached to Kieran's mouth. He took it without hesitation.
"Heavens, Mr. Charles, Mr. Charles actually ate it!"
"What a fantasy. I thought that Mr. Charles was playing the ill-looking Rachael. Now, she seems a special woman to him!"
"That's right. I've been in the business world for decades. I've never heard of Mr. Charles being intimate with any woman, let alone being spoon-fed. How unbelievable!"
All the guests present were excited. They took a glance at Emmalee, who was in such a sorry state, snorted with disdain, "She's so ridiculous. How can such a frivolous woman seduce Mr. Charles? She even wants to waver her cousin's position. What a joke! If you ask me, a thousand Emmalees wouldn't compare to Rachael!"
"That's right. What a foolish dream. A toad wishes to eat swan meat! How disgusting!"
Emmalee lowered her head and gritted her teeth. As for Kaliyah and William, who were isolated, they didn't dare to speak and only faced the wall. Although Marisa was sitting at the main table with an ashen face, she didn't dare either.
I chuckled and took another bite. I chewed as my cheeks hurt. I had been dragged into the tree trunk by Kaleb again and again, and I felt my face numb and painful from eating. However, this roasted meat tasted delicious!
I picked up a large piece of fat meat and put it in Alicia's bowl, "Alicia, you're pregnant. Eat more. Look at how thin you are. Others might think you were treated shabbily by Mr. Redford!"
