The entire banquet hall fell silent.

Stephen’s expression changed. He quickly stood and said, “Jessica, you’re here. Come sit down.”

Their family had some ties with the Hale family. They had even visited the capital before, and when Jessica came from the capital, she had told him to look after her.

Of course, calling it “looking after her” was generous. It was closer to a notice.

In simple terms, it meant the Hale family’s princess had arrived.

Jessica’s eyes were cold. She swept her gaze around the room and asked flatly, “Where’s Autumn?”

What had happened earlier had been witnessed by many people. It had never been a secret, and Jessica learned about it quickly.

When she heard that Dominic had been bullied like that, anger nearly overwhelmed her. She brought

people with her and came straight over.

This time, she did not call Autumn “Miss Garcia.”

‘Dominic came to attend your birthday party, yet you allowed him to suffer such humiliation. Autumn, you can’t escape responsibility for this,‘ Jessica thought angrily.

Stephen hurried to explain. “There was a misunderstanding just now. Dominic had something to take care of and stepped out. Autumn went with him.”

Jessica widened her eyes and asked coldly, “You’re saying Dominic left, and Autumn followed him?”

Stephen burned with anger. After all, he was the richest man in Skyline City, yet this little devil was pressing him relentlessly. The situation made him look weak. Still, he could not afford to offend Jessica.

He nodded and said, “Autumn went with Dominic to get some fresh air.”

Jessica’s expression changed the moment he finished speaking.

Through gritted teeth, she said, “Autumn, what a clever move. First a slap, then a sweet date. Dominic’s so simple he’s probably already been fooled by you.”

Most of the others showed little reaction.

Lydia, however, was stunned. ‘What? Dominic’s simple? Little girl, with that way of thinking, you would probably get scammed and still happily help him count the money.‘

Jessica ground her teeth for quite a while before finally lifting her head. “Since they’ve left, forget it. Now it’s time to settle this.”

She showed Stephen no respect at all. She stepped forward a few paces and coldly demanded, “Who’s Logan?”

Everyone immediately turned to look at Logan.

Sweat poured down his forehead. He knew Jessica’s identity well. She was the princess of the capital’s high society, backed by a top political heavyweight. Meanwhile, the Hale Group was a colossal enterprise with assets in the billions.

As Jessica’s gaze settled on him, Logan’s face gradually turned pale.

Trembling, he said, ‘Miss Hale, I’m Logan. May I ask what this is about?”

Jessica nodded, walked up to him, and stared directly into his eyes. “In the gambling match, you cheated in the first round and lost 200,000,000 dollars. In the second round, you lost another 200,000,000. That makes 400,000,000 in total. Correct?”

Logan was instantly dumbfounded. They had agreed on 200,000,000, so how had it suddenly become 400,000,000?

But after thinking it through, Jessica was not wrong. Dominic had counted only one round, but the two rounds had indeed taken place.

Logan wanted to argue. Yet when he saw the cold look on Jessica’s face, fear filled his heart. His lips moved, but he did not dare say a word.

Jessica nodded in satisfaction. “Good. Since you have no objections, transfer 400,000,000 dollars to Dominic within 24 hours.”

Logan’s heart pounded wildly. No matter how afraid he felt, he had to speak now. In shock, he said, “Miss Hale, 24 hours… isn’t that too rushed?”

Just moments ago, they had discussed dragging the matter out for ten years. In the blink of an eye, it had become a single day. How could he accept that?

In the very next second, someone grabbed his flowing purple hair from behind.

The person dragged him straight off the dining table and threw him onto the open floor.

“Ah!” The attacker was strong and even tore out a clump of hair, making Logan scream in pain.

Yet no one present dared to stop it, not even Stephen.
