Everyone’s attention was drawn to Gabriel.

who splashed the alcohol was a boy who appeared to be around eight or nine years 

He still held the empty wine glass in his hand, glaring fiercely at Emma, who was being protected by Gabriel. He shouted loudly, “Bad woman! 

“You seduced my father, causing my mother to be heartbroken. I must teach you a lesson for my mother!” 

Just now. 

Gabriel’s suit jacket got wet from the waiter’s spill. The male secretary hurriedly went upstairs to fetch him a spare suit jacket and left behind a slightly similar suit for him to use in case of 

emergency. 

But Gabriel did not wear it. 

A familiar business partner approached Gabriel with a glass of wine to chat. Since they were going to drink, he asked Emma to go rest first. 

Marcus Greene was the head of the Greene family in Akron and the organizer of this banquet. Although married, he was not loyal. He liked fooling around with the secretaries of his business partners and competitors. Gender and preferences were not a concern for him. By offering money, he got certain internal information from these secretaries, in order to gain higher benefits. 

When Emma followed Gabriel into the banquet hall, she immediately caught Marcus’s attention. As soon as she was alone, he immediately approached with a glass of wine and struck up a conversation, “Ms. Morris, you truly are young and promising.” 

Emma’s eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a smile, “Mr. Greene, you are. Young people should take you as a model.” 

Everyone liked to be flattered. Marcus was certainly no exception. 

While Gabriel was drinking with acquaintances, he quietly approached Emma to talk about the future “collaboration“. 

Little did he know that he would be caught red–handed by his own son, as he “accidentally” splashed Emma with wine, which soaked her chest. Upon seeing her wet chest, he immediately took the opportunity

“What are you doing?” Emma sternly questioned and forcefully slapped Marcus. The commotion over here quickly caught the attention of the people around. Marcus had never been humiliated like this in front of others before, and he raised his hand and slapped back fiercely. 

Just as he reached out, Gabriel grabbed him. 

This was when Hazel heard the voice.“How dare you do this to the Campbell Group’s employee?“, Marcus saw the displeasure on Gabriel’s face and his protective gesture in front of Emma. His

pupils tightened, a chill rose from his spine, and he secretly wondered, “Could this female secretary be Gabriel’s lover?” 

He hurriedly apologized with a smile and explained, “Mr. Campbell, it’s all a misunderstanding. “I just saw Ms. Morris with alcohol stains on her clothes, so I handed her a tissue to wipe them off. It’s my fault. I was too hasty and didn’t have time to explain, so Ms. Morris misunderstood me as a bad guy. 

“I have never been slapped by anyone before. Just now, Ms. Morris slapped me directly, and I raised my hand purely out of reflex. It’s all a misunderstanding.” 

If Gabriel didn’t care about his secretary, Marcus would definitely teach her a lesson. As soon as he saw the displeasure on Gabriel’s face, however, Marcus immediately changed his expression. 

The main purpose of hosting this banquet was to meet Sebastian from the Stevens Group and Gabriel from the Campbell Group. He couldn’t afford to offend this big shot just because of a slap. 

After exchanging a glance with Hazel, Emma immediately averted her gaze and, with teary eyes, said, “Mr. Campbell, I’m fine. 

“Please don’t be mad at Mr. Greene for me.” Emma’s voice had a heavy nasal tone, along with a sense of grievance. 

Despite being sick today, she still diligently completed her work, and her work attitude was beyond doubt. 

Gabriel frowned and disliked her approach. He avoided Emma by going to the sofa to get the suit jacket left by the male secretary. 

He handed her the suit jacket and said, “Put it on.” 

Emma clearly knew that this suit was left by the male secretary, but she pretended as if it was Gabriel’s coat. 

She looked at him gratefully and said, “Thank you, Mr. Campbell.” 

The crowd did not know that the coat Gabriel handed her was someone else’s. Seeing this, people instantly took a meaningful look at Emma. 

After all, the act of giving his coat 

to a female secretary was inappropriate. 

Hazel glanced from a distance, without paying much attention, and didn’t even bother to take a few steps closer to watch. 

The phone in her handbag vibrated, and she took it out to have a look. It was a video invitation from Leila. Hazel had a gentle smile filling her eyes. 

Hazel told Johnson about it and then turned to the outside terrace. 

Marcus’s son had already been taken away by the Greene family, and as he left, he continued to pay for seducing my dad!” shout at Emma, “You’re a shameless woman! I curse you! You will 

He was eight or nine years old, but he had such malicious words, which left the people at the banquet speechless with their gaze towards Marcus. 

Emma, as the victim, lowered her head and remained silent. 

Just then, the male secretary had already returned from the hotel.

Gabriel took the suit jacket handed to him and said to Emma, “You have no work to do here. Go back to your room.” 

He asked the male secretary to send her to the room and then leave. 

With this incident, everyone knew that the President of the Campbell Group was very protective of his female secretary. He even arranged for a male secretary to personally escort her to the hotel room door before feeling at ease. 

Gabriel was unaware of the thoughts of these people. His gaze searched for Hazel’s figure in the crowd. 

After all, Emma was an employee of the Campbell Group. For him, it was very normal for a boss to stand up for his employees when they were being bullied. 

Gabriel did not see Hazel, but he only saw Johnson, who was talking to someone. Johnson, as if enjoying the show with a glance at him from a distance. 

Sebastian, who arrived late to work, entered through the front door and happened to catch a glimpse of the terrace. He took a step and headed towards Hazel, as he had many questions he wanted to ask her. 

“Okay, Leila, you are the best. Wait for Mommy to come back and bring you delicious food. These days, you have to listen to your uncle, okay?” 

Leila was wearing a soft jumpsuit, lying on a pillow, and video chatting with her. Upon hearing the words, she nodded obediently.

Suddenly, Leila’s eyes up,

and she saw Sebastian through the camera. She exclaimed with 

Ethan, who was originally lying by the bed listening quietly, immediately came over and raised his eyebrows with a smile upon hearing Leila’s words. 

Ethan joked, “Oh, looks like you need a minute.” 

Hazel was speechless. 

She turned around and met Sebastian’s gaze. Today, he was dressed in a dark gray suit, and his deep blue eyes were stunning. 

Sebastian spoke gently, “Haze, I have something to tell you.” 

There was a suppressed doubt in his voice. 

Actually, Sebastian was extremely nervous at this moment. He couldn’t believe it when he saw the messages sent by his good friend. 

He didn’t know that during the time he was eagerly anticipating going abroad with Hazel, his mother and grandmother had actually done such outrageous things to her, and they didn’t even stop after he went abroad.
