Greta turned her head. Many guests also heard the sound and then saw Maxwell approaching. Maxwell intimately held Greta's arm, which made Greta stunned for a few seconds.
All the guests were stunned as well. They all felt complicated toward Maxwell. Maxwell was absolutely brave that he could do such an intimate thing to Greta in front of Young Master Sandoval.
How hotheaded he was! How did he dare to ignore Young Master Sandoval!
When some political officials and business leaders in Ocean City saw this scene, they all curled their lips into a cheeky smile waiting for something interesting happening.
It seemed that there would be a good ‘show’.
The way Maxwell held Greta's arm was so natural and intimate that it made others feel that they did such a thing thousands of times already.
Suddenly the atmosphere in the banquet hall changed, adding a hint of tension.
Greta turned her head and stared at this annoying ‘man’ with her beautiful eyes. Young Master Sandoval showed affection to her seconds ago, and then he showed up like this right away! What exactly did he want to do?
Didn’t he see that she already had so many troubles? Did he plan to add more?
Young Master Sandoval held the goblet in his hand. Watching this intimate and ambiguous scene, his feelings gradually became complicated...
Young Master Sandoval was thinking: The way Maxwell showed up was absolutely humiliating him. I clearly wanted to marry Greta. Did this guy appear to declare his relationship with Greta?
Sandoval gazed at Maxwell. At the same time, in his heart, he was disdainful at Maxwell. He was thinking: This disgusting bastard was not worthy to be up against me!
"Yeah, you are... Young Master Sandoval? You are so famous and successful that I heard so much about you. Finally today I got the honor to see you in person. You look so well." Maxwell laughed and picked up the wine glass, then tried to touch Sandoval's.
Sandoval stared at Maxwell. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Maxwell's wine glass was raised in midair, but Sandoval didn’t reach out his to collide with Maxwell's.
It was getting so awkward. Maxwell narrowed his eyes, thinking: it was interesting…
"I don't drink with people who are not well educated," Sandoval spoke lightly. Then he suddenly loosened his grip on the wine glass. It fell on the floor and splashed into pieces.
Greta frowned. The whole banquet hall was quiet. Sandoval’s behavior meant he didn’t want to show any respect to him.
Many people got stunned. Smart people could tell already that Maxwell will screw up today.
Maxwell drank the wine bottom-up, and then he put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at Sandoval with no impression.
"Miss Greta, this is my first time to come to Ocean City. Please forgive me if I have offended you. Please accept this little gift as my apology." Sandoval clapped his hands, and then there was a waiter walking slowly from the crowd, holding a silver plate with a delicate and luxurious sandalwood box.
Many guests were in an uproar. The sandalwood box alone was very expensive. It was hard to imagine what kind of gift it was to use such an expensive box?!
Greta gently shook her head, and politely refused, "Young Master Sandoval, it is my honor to come to your dinner party. But I really can’t accept this generous gift."
Sandoval smiled slightly, "Greta, no one can suit more of this gift than you in the whole world."
After saying so, Sandoval opened the sandalwood box. There was a crystal clear, extremely dazzling blood diamond embedded in the sponge, which made the whole banquet get into chaos. Seeing such a dazzling priceless diamond, many of them could feel they were even out of breath and their heartbeats got faster.
Blood diamond! That was a big uncut blood diamond!
Greta got so shocked that she couldn’t even hold her impression properly.
It was not an ordinary diamond. It was a blood diamond. It was so priceless that it couldn’t be valued by money!
In an instant, countless people stared at the blood diamond. The banquet hall was quiet. Everyone looked at Sandoval with great admiration and consternation!
