Chapter 977 Old Friend

Those who spoke were the younger ones, who also had ulterior motives toward Darcy’s beauty and status.

However, they hid their thoughts well and it sounded like they were concerned about her.

Before they even knew it, they already formed a tacit union to target Kaze, trying to remove the obstacle from their goal.

As for who had the chance to go for the shoot, it would depend on their respective capabilities.

“Ms. Quint, you heard them. That’s what everyone thought. I am just making it verbal.”

Tao believed he would be the one who got Darcy. His confidence remained sky-high.

Before they even came into the banquet hall, Darcy was already annoyed and irritated.

Now that Kaze was being insulted, it put a gloomy look on her face.

“You people are so free that you have the time to poke your nose into someone else’s business,” Darcy said coldly.

“My marriage is a private affair, my own business. It has nothing to do with you people, and I don’t care about my public image or my future status. I attend the party with Kaze because we are here to meet Uncle Adam, and that’s it.

“I can talk business with you but if you are bugging me and poking your nose into my private affairs, please stay away!”

Darcy showed no courtesy at all with her words as she was infuriated.

Those who spoke up felt embarrassed and jealous.

They thought Kaze had no power or status in the Quints, they literally took him as Darcy’s plus-one.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Yet Darcy protected him in public and lashed out at everyone because of him.

It made the people look at Kaze with more hostility and jealousy.

However, since Darcy was still around, no one dared to continue giving Kaze a hard time.

Then, Adam came back from the washroom and noticed the awkward atmosphere.

Confused, he asked, “What’s wrong? Where’s the lively atmosphere from a while ago?”

“Uncle Adam!”

Tao noticed Adam’s confusion and went up to him.

The welcoming party was held for Adam, which stated how prominent he was.

Tao called Adam uncle as well, which somehow made the others look at the young man with a hint of reverence.

If he could call Adam uncle, he must be close with the vice chief.

“Tao, you’re here.”

Adam nodded and smiled. “I have someone that I would like to introduce you to. Darcy, come here.”

He waved at Darcy.

“Uncle Adam.”

Darcy went over upon being summoned.

Adam smiled and introduced Tao to Darcy. “This is Tao Segore. His family and us are long-time friends and we have been close like forever. Tao came to Lilyrose to seek out an investment for his company. Since you are practically the biggest businesswoman here, why don’t you give him a little help so that everything goes well for him?”

He tapped on Tao’s shoulder throughout the introduction, which stated that he liked the young man a lot.

“I understand, Uncle Adam.”

Darcy nodded emotionlessly.

Adam felt embarrassed by the poor reaction. He grunted and asked, “What’s wrong with you, Darcy?”

“Uncle Adam, I think I might have said something that upset Ms. Quint here,” Tao said.

He then looked at Darcy and continued, “Ms. Quint, I apologize for what I said but I meant every word. Your husband is not worth of you."
