“Mr. Duke.” Xaviera Evans raised an eyebrow and said, “You really are ridiculous. Since I dared to attack you, it means I have enough confidence. You rang the service bell several times, but nobody came to attend to you. Have you ever wondered why?”

Mr. Duke’s eyes widened.

Xaviera sneered, “Fragrant House is known for its meticulous service. Why would they ignore you this time? Why did they turn a blind eye even though they knew I was going to attack you?”

She threw away the dinner knife and clapped her hands towards the outside. A group of people walked in, one of whom was the manager of Fragrant House.

The manager walked up to Xaviera and respectfully said, “Miss Evans.”

Xaviera looked at Mr. Duke’s astonished expression and leisurely said, “Fragrant House is my brother Albert’s territory. Even if I killed you, nobody would interfere.”

Mr. Duke’s face was full of terror, his body trembling, and he fainted with his eyes rolling back.

Everyone quickly tidied up the room and carried Mr. Duke away, restoring the suite to its original state.

On the other side, Mag Evans and Derek Evans had also come upstairs.

Mag’s face was full of anxiety, “Where’s my sister? Dad, is she in trouble?

Waaah…”

Several friends quickly comforted her, “Don’t worry Mag, your sister is a grown-up and will be fine.”

“Besides, the security at Fragrant House is very good. As long as she rings the service bell, the staff will definitely appear.”

Everyone knew that Xaviera’s sudden disappearance and going upstairs with a stranger must be related to something between a man and a woman. They thought Miss Evans had disgraced herself.

Mag bit her lip, looking pitiful, “It’s all my fault. I didn’t take good care of my sister just now. If anything happens to her, how can I live with myself?

Waaah…”

“You’re looking for Xaviera?” At this moment, a man walked over.

Rose Campbell’s eyes lit up instantly. This man was Mr. Duke’s secretary.

In order to play this scene well, they needed others to testify. Rose had long been bribing Mr. Duke’s secretary, telling him what to do so that Xaviera would not be able to argue with their accusations in front of everyone!

Mr. Duke’s secretary had been waiting nearby for them to come upstairs, not knowing that something had happened to Mr. Duke.

“Miss Xaviera Evans went with our Mr. Duke. How could anything happen to them?”

The secretary smiled deeply, and everyone was silent.

Although the secretary did not say it outright, they understood the implications of his words.

Mag’s tears gushed down, “Don’t talk nonsense! How could my sister be with

Mr. Duke? My sister… she wouldn’t… how could she be with Mr. Duke…”

She pretended to defend Xaviera while her eyes were full of helplessness.

The secretary argued loudly, “Are you saying I’m lying? Miss Xaviera Evans has been with our Mr. Duke for a long time. She even said she wants to marry him.

When they met at the banquet, she couldn’t wait to take Mr. Duke to the room.”

The crowd gasped. This was too explosive!

And Mr. Duke’s secretary provided specific details…

Although Mr. Duke was not very good-looking and quite old, he was indeed wealthy and powerful. Xaviera must be attracted to his money.

But after all, Xaviera was Miss Evans of the Evans family, and did not seem to be short of money. Why did she insist on marrying Mr. Duke, who was a rather plump and ordinary man?

Suddenly, Mag covered her face and cried bitterly, “It’s impossible… waaah… My sister would never do such a thing. Dad, it’s all your fault. If you hadn’t frozen my sister’s card, she wouldn’t be short of money. Although she did something wrong, you cannot treat her like this. It’s too much!”

Derek’s face was full of sorrow and regret, “That child spends money recklessly. I just wanted to teach her a lesson. I didn’t expect to push her into a wrong path. It’s all my fault!”

Everyone suddenly understood. It turned out that Xaviera lost her financial support and ended up clinging to Mr. Duke.

However, it was quite disrespectful for her to do such a thing in Albert Sullivan’s Fragrant House and during a high-profile banquet. Xaviera was so eager to find a room with Mr. Duke, didn’t she take Albert seriously? They couldn’t help but look at Albert. He still looked calm..
