Chapter 581 Blatant Public Display Of Affection
“That's not true at all, Mr. Moore! It was Avery who acted shamelessly! She took the initiative to seduce my soon-to-be brother-in-law, and that's the only reason he fell into her trap. This kind of pretentious and hypocritical woman is best at deceiving others, so don't be fooled by her innocent looks!” Maria spoke up for Sebastian at once, twisting the facts entirely.
After all, the Xenos family was a family the Reid family had been trying their best to ingratiate themselves with. If Brittany successfully married into the Xenos family, Reid Group's development would undoubtedly be propelled to greater heights.
And Maria, as the second daughter of the Reid family, would naturally enjoy an elevation in status as well.
“Do you think I'm blind or deaf, Ms. Maria?” Cayden shot Maria a chilly look, his icy murderous gaze striking such fear in her that she flinched.
Meanwhile, Avery chuckled angrily and glared at Maria with the same frosty look. “You're really good at spouting lies, Ms. Maria. The father of the baby I'm carrying is both tall and handsome, the cream of the crop among men. How could I possibly take a fancy to an uncultured pig when I've got him?”
Hearing her remark, Xavier laughed soundlessly.
Like Mr. Moore, Ms. Rumpley's tongue is growing increasingly sharper these days.
Sebastian, on the other hand, flushed bright red at that insult.
If this b*tch had dared demean me such in usual circumstances, I would've long since taught her a lesson! Unfortunately, she's Cayden's woman, and I can't do anything to her!
Conversely, Maria was not bothered in the least because she noticed that Dylan had been distracted from the moment Avery stepped into the private room, and his gaze had been fixated on the latter ever since. Such envy inundated her that she was gripped by the urge to kill Avery.
Blinded by jealousy right then, she was determined to seize every opportunity to humiliate Avery.
She continued to vilify the latter endlessly at the side, cursing, “How could you insult my soon-to-be brother-in-law in such a manner, you b*tch? Don't think I'm ignorant of your scandals. You started seducing men when you were eighteen, got pregnant out of wedlock, and...”
Cayden's eyes were cold and hard, his gaze pinned on the woman who was sick of living. Subsequently, he threw a murderous look at the manager who accompanied him there and was standing behind him then.
Grasping his meaning, the manager waved a hand at the security personnel under his command.
One of them, who held a roll of tape in his hand, ripped off a strip of the adhesive with a crisp tear and stalked toward Maria with a menacing expression on his face.
“W-What are you trying to do?” Sensing danger, Maria backed away warily.
Regretfully, two security personnel restrained her on both sides and taped her mouth unceremoniously. After doing that, they flung her to the ground expressionlessly.
Everyone in the private room was stunned by that sight.
However, no one dared to step forward and offer any objections, for Cayden's aura was just too strong and dangerous.
Brittany trembled slightly. Her sister's mouth had been forcibly taped and sealed, yet she did not dare to go over to take a look at her.
Like Grim Reaper, Cayden swept a narrowed gaze over everyone in the private room.
Some who were timider in nature even retreated several steps in terror.
In the end, his gaze again alighted on Sebastian, who wore a petrified expression. “I heard you wanted to take her as your mistress, huh?”
Sebastian went deathly pale, and cold sweat trickled down his face. He almost peed his pants at the utterly glacial look in Cayden's gaze.
He half-knelt on the ground tremblingly, his gaze unfocused. “M-Mr. Moore, I-I was merely j-joking with Ms. Rumpley.”
