My Reborn Admirer Wins Over My Heart (Oriana) novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397 Regret

Bramwell was boiling with regret, a bitter lump lodged in his throat that he couldn’t swallow!

He was so furious that his eye turned red. He completely ignored manners or volume.

For a few heartbeats, everyone in the front and middle rows could hear his shouts as he pointed directly at Grant and Luna, berating them.

People around froze, exchanging bewildered glances.

So this meant that Grant had looked down on Micah carlier, calling him someone who only got ahead through connections.

They had thought Grant was a proper gentleman, someone who earned his place through skill and hard work. Yet behind the scenes, he had been gossiping like this.

It was too much

Luna immediately jumped up, snatching Bramwell’s hand and anxiously pleading, “Daddy! Let’s talk about this later at home!”

Bramwell shook her off violently. He clearly had no intention of giving her any consideration.

Time and again, his precious daughter had spoiled his schemes, leaving Bramwell with no rationality left in him!

But before he could launch another tirade, Grant rose to his full height, calm yet imposing.

Facing Bramwell’s furious gaze, he instinctively stepped in front of Luna, placing her behind him, his expression dark and steady.

“Mr. Sterling,” Grant said, with a polite smile that didn’t reach his eyes, the warning in his gaze blazing openly.

“You know what’s appropriate to say in any given situation. As a senior, I trust you understand that better than I do. As for Oriana? Luna and I cannot speak for her. And now that you regret your actions, indiscriminately blaming us for your own mistakes is far from responsible.”

Without giving Bramwell a chance to respond, Grant took Luna’s hand, placing it in the crook of his arm, and addressed the room with composure. “My assistant just informed me that a Dudbein buyer wishes to discuss OHM cooperation with us. Everyone, please excuse us.”

Under Bramwell’s enraged stomping, Grant’s handling of the situation was nothing short of

He led Luna away, leaving Bramwell and his companions behind, grinding their teeth, trembling, faces flushed in a mixture of fury and shame.

Noah and Xander, seated in the front row, had naturally overheard some of the exchange.

Noah arched an eyebrow, teasing the senior leaders around him with a hint of sarcasm, “Well, this scandal, someone might think Micah only got into the research center because of my money.”

Xander, aware of the full story, snorted in amusement, clearly irritated by the situation. “A bunch of fools.”

The officials were caught off guard, sweating nervously as they hurried to make excuses. “No, no, we all know Micah was personally invited by Zephyr to be the chief engineer at the research center. His talent is extraordinary; his contributions to intelligent technology are profound, and he’s accomplished so much at such a young age.”

“Yes, Micah is humble and keeps his head down, focused on research. But I’m sure that after today’s summit, all rumors will be silenced, and no one will dare question his abilities again.”

“Mr. Caldwell, your family produces such outstanding talent–we’re honestly envious!”

Noah finally allowed himself a satisfied smile.

The networking session was next, and the exhibition stands were already open. As soon as the summit speech concluded, many journalists and guests had begun heading over.

Noah slung an arm over Xander’s shoulder. “Since they love gossiping, let them say whatever they want. Let’s go support Micah and Oriana!”

Xander, usually not one for joining in on antics, didn’t refuse this time.

He rose with Noah, following him.

Noah noticed Xander’s unusual compliance today and, intrigued, rubbed his chin, trailing after him with a grin.

The moment Micah returned backstage, Oriana couldn’t wait any longer–she immediately got up to find him.

With Valka accompanying her, they moved through the inner hall as if no one else existed.

Even without Valka, no one in the venue could fail to recognize Oriana.

She was Micah’s wife–the only person who could thaw his icy expression! No one would dare stop her.

“Micah!”

Backstage, Micah had just removed his headset when a crisp, clear call reached his cars.

He turned slightly, only to collide with an overwhelming surge of warmth.

Taken by surprise, he stumbled back two steps, but quickly regained his balance, wrapping his arms around her to prevent her from falling.

Oriana held on tight, pressing herself against him with all her strength.

“Micah, Micah,” she murmured, repeating his name.

In the lounge, Kieran, Jett, and the others watched the clingy couple, covering their mouths and signaling with gestures to leave them be, giving them space to speak.

The door closed softly behind them. Micah’s large hands stroked her back gently. “Sorry for releasing your video without asking you first,” he murmured.

Oriana buried her face in his chest, shaking her head slightly. Her voice was muffled but firm. “I didn’t mind.”

After a moment, she slowly lifted her head, her eyes sparkling.

Raising her hands to cup his flawless face, she spoke deliberately, word by word, “Micah, you were amazing today. So handsome, so stunning!”
