"Of course, Ms. Sophie."
Colt gave a maid standing by his side a look, and without hesitation, the maid stepped forward and splashed a glass of ice water on Wendy's face.
Wendy's delicate makeup was instantly ruined. Her face darkened. "Are you mad? I was invited here by Burker International! How dare you treat me like this?"
"The Burke family does not welcome ill-mannered guests, and besides, we did not invite you, Miss Wendy."
Colt gave Wendy a cold glance.
Wendy felt embarrassed at the moment. Her father had pulled some strings to get her the invitation to the Burke family's event. Under normal circumstances, Mr. Devin himself might not be qualified to enter.
Wendy noticed many eyes staring at her. She bit her lip and said, "Regardless, I'm a attendant for the gala tonight. Even if I did something wrong, it should be Mr. Burke to teach me a lesson! You're just a secretary! Since when has it been your place to point fingers?"
"Yes, Mr. Burke hasn't said anything. How can you treat a guest like this!" Jean also indignantly stood up for Wendy.
The crowd merely saw it as a spectacle. Colt had always been James' right-hand man, and no one had ever dared to speak out against Colt so boldly. They truly did not know their place.
Colt smiled and asked, "So, Miss Wendy, what would you like?"
"Of course, I want you to apologize to me in public!"
Wendy knew Colt was James' right-hand man, so she didn't make too excessive a demand.
Others might not have known Wendy well, but Sophie did. Given Wendy's character, asking Colt for an apology was very restrained for her.
What Wendy didn't understand was that Colt was James' right-hand man, and asking Colt to apologize was tantamount to embarrassing James.
Sophie calmly said, "Colt, no need to waste words on her. Let's go."
"Yes, Ms. Sophie."
As they were leaving, Colt gave a look to two security guards at the door, who immediately stepped forward, intending to take Wendy away.
Wendy struggled, fuming, "Let go! Do you even know who I am? How dare you treat me like this!"
The crowd saw Wendy as a joke, but she was oblivious.
