Chapter 76

Ch. 76 / 281 Apr 07, 2026

Marilyn smiled. "Mom, it's okay. Dominic is very good. When I go to work, he can stay at home."

"Okay, when Dominic decides, I will tell you the time. Lynn, go home early and drink less. You have to take care of yourself."

"Okay, mom!"

Marilyn hung up the phone and was very happy. It was good for Dominic to come over and accompany her.

Marilyn wanted to go somewhere else to take a walk, but a glass of wine splashed on her without warning.

"Ah!" Terence, who was not far away, suddenly widened his eyes.

The person who splashed wine on Marilyn was Mr. Hamilton's daughter. This woman was usually arrogant and domineering. Was she trying to irritate Malcolm tonight?

Marilyn looked sideways at the woman beside her. She had charming curly hair and delicate makeup. She looked at Marilyn with disdain and contempt.

"What do you mean by splashing wine on me?" Marilyn's eyes were cold and her eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Her eyes were filled with anger.

A few fashionably-dressed women slowly walked over.

Sandra was also among them, looking at Marilyn gloatingly.

Bradley, who was not far away, saw this scene. He also stood up and walked towards Marilyn.

Michelle sneered sarcastically. "I just don't like you. How dare you seduce Mr. Lowe? Don't you know your identity?"

When Marilyn heard this, she also smiled coldly. It was about Malcolm again.

She tilted her body slightly and looked at Michelle with a cold expression. Her tone was even more sarcastic than Michelle's. "Then what kind of trash are you? How dare you humiliate others in public for no reason? You can only be this kind of trash."

"You..." Michelle was speechless. Her face and her neck were red. She was angry and embarrassed.

The woman in front of her had no background. Why was she so bold to retort her?

"I'm warning you. You'd better be careful. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson." Michelle's expression became more and more arrogant. She thought that she must teach Marilyn a lesson.

"First, I didn't break the law. Second, I didn't offend you. Instead, I was splashed with wine by you."

"Miss, tell me, what did I do wrong?" Marilyn knew that the woman must have a good family background, but she was not afraid.

"Shame on you! It's a sin for you to seduce Mr. Lowe. What right do you have to be with him?" Michelle raised her chin and warned Marilyn arrogantly.

Marilyn suddenly smiled, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

She smiled and asked, "Well, I am not qualified. If you are qualified, why don't you be with him?

"However, you insulted the director of the Lowe Group in public, and you are just humiliating Mr. Lowe. Is it really okay to do so?" Her cold voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it.

She kicked the ball back to Malcolm and she knew that he wouldn't ignore it.

Michelle's expression changed. She frowned and asked angrily, "When did I insult Mr. Lowe? Don't talk nonsense."

"Well, as the design director of the Lowe Group, I am qualified to attend a banquet with Mr. Lowe.

"Besides, everyone in Fielddell knows Mr. Lowe. How can he be seduced by me so easily?

"Before you speak, think about the consequences first." Marilyn's eyes were cold. Her tone was low and cold, but every word seemed to step on Michelle's heart.

"I..."

"What a good show! Michelle, you humiliated the design director of the Lowe Group and Malcolm. Very good! Let Malcolm see this video later. Maybe he will consider again whether to cooperate with your father." Terence held his phone and recorded the video as he walked.

When Michelle heard this, she was immediately afraid.

When Marilyn heard this, she was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that Terence had actually recorded this.

Michelle anxiously explained, "Mr. Zade, I, I didn't do it on purpose." She just wanted to teach Marilyn a lesson.

"Really? I don't think so." Terence retorted with a smile as he recorded the video.

Terence thought, "Why did she have to provoke Malcolm's woman in public? She was so silly."

Moreover, Terence was supposed to protect this woman.

With this video, he could satisfy Malcolm.

Michelle had always been brainless. When others urged her to do something, she couldn't help but lose her temper.

"No, Mr. Zade, I..." Michelle could not find a reason to refute it.

When Marilyn saw that he had recorded the video, she frowned. Why did he do this?

She could solve this matter herself.

And in this way, these people would find her even more displeasing.

Terence looked at Marilyn. Seeing that her clothes were stained with wine, he frowned and said, "Ms. Chapman, you can change your clothes first. Just ignore this woman. You are the design director of the Lowe Group. Some people are just jealous. I will tell Mr. Lowe about this and let him handle it!"

Marilyn glanced at Michelle who was anxious but did not know what to do. With a cold expression, she nodded at Terence and left slowly.

Since Terence wanted to do this, she would just let him deal with it.

Bradley saw that and felt relieved.

"What's wrong? Are you worried about her?" Natasha had already walked up to Bradley and asked him with a smile.

Bradley laughed. "Of course, I'm worried about her. Marilyn has suffered a lot."

"Well, Bradley, when do you become so sensitive?" Natasha smiled. She felt very strange. Bradley had been cold and indifferent. He rarely cared about others' business.

"Natasha, people will slowly change. Marilyn is very hardworking. If you interact with her more, you will know her abilities," Bradley said, gesturing for her to go to the corner to chat.

After they left, Terence withdrew his gaze from them.

He was actually interested in the fact that Bradley knew Marilyn.

He saw Michelle who was looking at him blankly. He had a playful smile and said, "Don't look at me like that. I will be shy!"

The people around heard this and were all speechless.

A playboy like Terence would also be shy?

Even he himself wouldn't believe this!

"You!" Michelle was furious.

"Michelle, enough! What a disgrace! Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Zade." Michelle's father, Robinson Hamilton, walked over angrily. He glared at his daughter and shouted.

"Dad, I..."

"Look at you, aren't you embarrassed? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Zade!" Robinson's face was livid. He interrupted his daughter's words. He thought, "How dare you do such a thing in front of so many people?

Michelle looked at her father's furious face and was shocked. She turned to look at Terence who was smiling. Her tone was gentle. "Mr. Zade, I'm sorry!"
