Winnie was only getting bolder because Michael had her back, wasn’t she? Never going home, all consumed with currying favor with the Morrison family-did she really think she could ride Michael to some grand reversal of fortune?

Too bad. Veronica’s father had friends close to Oscar, and they knew that Oscar had already arranged a very suitable fiancée for Michael.

The woman was a political heiress in Goldmont City, with a prestigious family background and the rare skill of fluency in six languages-a national-level translator. She wasn’t like that pampered, arrogant Starr family heiress at all. From the inside out, she was exceptional. Compared to her, Winnie didn’t even come close.

More importantly, she and Michael had known each other for years-college classmates who had stayed in touch ever since, and she had even helped him with overseas business. According to Oscar, they were longtime confidants.

Just yesterday morning, Oscar posted a photo of them having dinner together, captioned “Future Daughter-in- Law,” officially announcing her as Michael’s fiancée.

The news had already spread through Goldmont City’s upper circles. Yet, judging by Winnie’s expression, she seemed completely oblivious.

Well, of course. She had been pursued by Michael before, and a man’s first love often leaves lingering feelings. Before marriage, if Michael wanted to keep Winnie entangled for a while, it made sense that he would hide it.

But Winnie had hurt him in the past. Beneath Michael’s gentlemanly exterior, there was likely a streak of revenge simmering as well.

When Winnie saw Michael, her expression shifted-excited, embarrassed, anxious. Somehow, she seemed to have caused him trouble again.

“Michael, why are you so angry as soon as you arrive? Isn’t today supposed to be a good day?”

Veronica smirked, amused.

Her gaze fell on the woman behind Michael-the same one Oscar had officially announced as his fiancée yesterday.

At that time, Oscar’s post was tagged overseas. So he had brought his future daughter-in-law back to the country at the last minute. Michael’s delayed arrival was probably because he had been notified to pick

His anger hadn’t cooled. Meeting Veronica’s provocations only darkened his expression further. “I su apologize to my guest. Otherwise, I may have no choice but to ignore you tonight.”

“Apologize? To whom exactly? This worker?”

Veronica lifted her chin, smiling haughtily, casting a provocative glance at Charlotte and Winnie.

Michael’s face grew even darker. Winnie noticed the way his hand clenched, the veins on the back of it bulging.

“An insincere apology only makes things worse. Sometimes, when bitten by a dog, you don’t have to bite back. Forget it, Michael. My sister always speaks without filter-I already feel ashamed for her on her behalf.”

Tonight’s new restaurant opening was a work engagement for Michael. Winnie didn’t want him to be put in a difficult position for her. Even in anger, she gave Veronica a way to back down.

But Winnie’s words were venomous, nonetheless. Even while stepping down, she left Veronica seething.

“Winnie, who are you calling a dog-”

“Oh, so the Olson sisters are at it again. Why do you always have to bicker wherever you go? Can’t you let a night of good food and drink pass without fighting?”

Just as Veronica was about to retort, the woman behind Michael stepped forward. Her voice was sweet, her presence sweeter. In a flowing, pale white dress, she immediately became a beacon of calm elegance amid the flashy crowd.

She looked at Michael with soft eyes. “Michael, you too. As the host, shouldn’t you be helping to reconcile them instead of just standing there?”
