Chapter 1359: Chapter 1359: Why is She So Arrogant?
"You like Willie Novak, thinking that all women will like him? But you donât know, if not for my grandfather sparing him in consideration of their past friendship, you wouldnât be able to imagine how his fate would be. Arson is punishable by law and requires compensation for all losses. My grandfatherâs medical books are priceless treasures; even if the Novak family sold everything, they couldnât afford it!"
Xavieraâs tone was cold and indifferent, looking at Penny Kalafatis as if she were an idiot.
Penny was choked up, her eyes full of disbelief; it took her a moment to recover.
Did Xaviera really not like Willie? Willie was not only handsome but also very capable. How could Xaviera not like him? She must be afraid of losing face, so she doesnât want to admit it.
"Xaviera, I understand your feelings," Penny advised sincerely, "you still blame me and Willie, but I have no ill intentions in saying these words. I just donât want you to be with a married man as a way of taking revenge on me and Willie."
Seeing this situation, those who had just tried to please Penny immediately stood up to echo her words: "It was because of you that Mrs. Novak and Mr. Novak almost broke up all those years ago, and now youâre seducing a married man. Who canât see your true intentions?"
"You were just exposed by Mrs. Novak, so youâre biting back!"
At that moment, Willie Novak arrived, his expression changed as he heard those words. Just as he was about to step forward to defend Xaviera, a tall figure quickly appeared by her side.
With the manâs tall, erect figure blocking Xaviera, his deep, cold voice said, "Mrs. Novak, do you want to know how Xaviera came in?"
The rest area suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at the extraordinarily handsome man.
Penny looked up to see the manâs deep, brown eyes, and handsome features emanating a cold aura. There was a slight anger in his eyes, and standing behind him was none other than Willie Novak.
Pennyâs head was spinning, and she timidly lowered her gaze.
"Mr. Novak!" The crowd shouted in surprise, thinking that Willie Novak had come to stand up for Penny.
"Mrs. Novak, look whoâs here!"
Upon hearing this, Penny trembled all over; she knew that Willie didnât like it when others called her âMrs. Novak,â and she was afraid that he would get angry.
"Wait a minute, this... this is the president of the Mamet Corporation?"
"Mr. Caleb Mamet and Mr. Novak are both here!"
Everyone was both shocked and excited as Xaviera, hidden among the crowd, raised an eyebrow.
Suddenly someone spoke up loudly, "Mr. Novak, this woman has no invitation, and she bullies Mrs. Novak. Mrs. Novak has been crying in grievance. You should kick her out quickly!"
Willie Novak looked past the crowd at Xaviera; even after all these years, her appearance hadnât changed much. She was still stunning, but her eyes seemed foreign to him.
Xaviera looked at him coldly, not avoiding his gaze, with an icy laugh in her heart.
Did Willie Novak want to scold her in public? Accuse her of bullying Penny?
Sweating with nervousness, Penny said, "Willie, donât get me wrong, we were just joking. Xaviera, she..."
Xaviera grew even more impatient; after all these years, it was still the same routine. Pretending to be pitiful, saying, âXaviera didnât bully me, itâs my fault, Willie, donât blame herâ, and then crying bitterly, lamenting her tough life and lowly status.
Willie Novak would have thought that she bullied Penny, who was alone and helpless, and Penny was afraid of offending her, so she didnât dare speak even if she was wronged.
Xaviera had already seen through Pennyâs tactics, so she nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I did say a few words to her, but it was Mrs. Novak who provoked me first. She questioned how I could enter and whether I seduced a married man. Of course, I couldnât swallow those words. If Mr. Novak canât control his own woman, Iâll help discipline her."
Everyone: "..."
Why was this woman so arrogant?
Willie Novak was the head of the Novak family, and also the one controlling the Brooke family. This woman dared to offend him like that, was she tired of living?
Indignant, the crowd said, "Mr. Novak, Mrs. Novak was just looking out for her well-being, but she cursed Mrs. Novak in public and showed no respect for you at all!"
"This is the Mamet Corporationâs banquet, not a place for her to behave wildly. If she offends Mr. Caleb Mamet and Mr. Novak, letâs see how arrogant she can be!"
"Mrs. Novak tried to be friendly and greet her, but not only was she ungrateful, but she also insulted her. She really doesnât know any better!"
Everyone reprimanded Xaviera, but they didnât notice that Willie Novakâs face was growing darker and darker.
