Chapter 41
There are many people with the last name Brown.
But there’s only one person surnamed Brown who gets addressed with
such respect by Ryder.
That would be William, the head of the Brown Family–one of the
four great families!
Looking at the man again, he stood tall with a stern face. His eyes showed little emotion, yet he exuded an inexplicable sense of pressure from deep within.
Indigo suddenly snapped back to reality.
The person in front of her was… William?!
Instantly, Indigo felt a chill run through her entire body. She finally understood why Ryder was so angry with her. She was breathless, pale–faced, and her legs trembled uncontrollably.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Brown…” Indigo couldn’t withstand the pressure, her voice shaking as she spoke. “I made a big deal out of nothing. I shouldn’t have been disrespectful to you. It’s all my fault.”

The whole room erupted in commotion.
“This person is actually William!”
“I heard Ryder owns a piece of land that the Brown Group took interest in and included in their development plans. Ryder was quite generous–to get in good with the Brown Family, he actually offered to give the land to William as a gift. That’s why William came here personally to discuss the land deal with Ryder.”
Otherwise, why would someone from the Brown Family lower themselves to come to this kind of event?
“You know what, Ryder’s pretty smart. So many people want to give land to the Brown Group but don’t get the chance. He’s just lucky that the Brown Group happened to want his land.”
“Plus, I heard this William is super low–key. He never appears publicly
in the media, and very few people know what he looks like. No wonder Ms. Indigo Rodriguez didn’t recognize him.”
“Indigo’s got some nerve. She was just demanding that Mr. Brown be
thrown out.”
“She’s in trouble now.”

“Just because she’s latched onto the Martinez Family doesn’t mean
much. The Martinez Family, no matter how powerful, can’t even break into the annual rankings of the four great families. The Brown Family, ranked ahead of them, has held their position for decades without being challenged! I think she got carried away and forgot her place.”
“Mr. Brown.” Ryder looked at William, only daring to speak softly. “I’m truly sorry. Our Indigo offended you. Let me apologize to you again
on her behalf.”
William’s face was as dark as deep waters. Whether he forgave her or
not, he didn’t say.
Suddenly, David rushed over to William, after just receiving a phone call. “Mr. Brown, there’s been a problem with the shipment from
Eldoria!”
Hearing this, William’s expression changed. Without another glance at Ryder, he hurried away.
Ryder’s eyes followed his retreating figure. He wanted to say something, but the words died on his lips.
The land deal was probably dead.
In anger, Ryder glared at Abigail and Indigo, before turning to go

upstairs. Now that the truth was revealed, everyone looked at Abigail
strangely.
“This Ms. Abigail Rodriguez is really domineering and unreasonable.”
“If Mr. Brown hadn’t happened to see it just now, she would have
completely twisted the truth!”
No one could question William after he claimed to have seen it. Everyone believed that Abigail had deliberately bumped into Isabella and went on to shift the blame to her.
“Actually, I saw it too.” Someone spoke up quietly.
Earlier, seeing the Rodriguez Family’s aggressive attitude, they didn’t dare speak up. But now that everyone was criticizing Abigail, there was nothing to worry about.
“It really was Abigail who bumped into that girl. It looked
intentional.”
Indigo’s expression changed slightly. She frowned at Abigail. “What exactly happened?”
Didn’t she say that girl deliberately bumped into her?

Hearing this, Indigo’s brow immediately showed a trace of
displeasure.
She turned, looking at Isabella with scrutinizing eyes, and asked
coldly, “Whose daughter are you?”
Today was the Rodriguez Family’s event.
To act so presumptuously at her birthday party meant not taking the
Rodriguez Family seriously.
“What is going on?”
Olivia and Bianca came from a distance, having heard something
happened here.
She looked at the mess on the floor, then at Isabella, immediately filled with rage. She raised her hand to slap Isabella’s face. “You
ungrateful girl!”
The expected slap did not sound.
Isabella caught her wrist and pushed her away with a brief, effortless
motion.
Olivia stumbled back several steps and fell directly into a champagne

out!”
Let everyone see what happens to those who speak up for this bitch!
Indigo’s sharp, piercing voice reached Ryder’s ears directly.
Ryder had been waiting upstairs for William for a long time. When he didn’t show up, he came downstairs to look for him. From a distance, he heard Indigo saying she was going to throw someone out.
He glanced over here, and with just one look, his expression changed
completely.
“What are you making a fuss about? Have you all lost your minds?”
Ryder hurried over.
Seeing him arrive, Indigo became even more confident, raising her chin and looking at Isabella and William with increasing disdain. “Dad, this bitch broke the birthday gift Abigail bought me and cursed at me in front of everyone. It’s outrageous! And this man actually dared to disrespect me in front of everyone!”
“Dad, I’m going to throw these two arrogant fools out right now…”
Ryder slapped Indigo across the face.
