Chapter 36
The gathering of the rich and famous of Bay City was extremely exclusive and luxurious. Fade was
mesmerized by the brilliant lighting and decoration. Of course, what excited him the most was the
delicious food and wine that was served.
If he had not been held back by Quin, Fade would have thrown himself onto the food like an animal
and ate boisterously.
Quin kept greeting and socializing with other guests while bringing Fade along with her. The boring
greetings and stiff smiles made Fade feel a little drowsy.
Just as Fade was getting bored, Quin suddenly pinched him and whispered, "He is here."
Fade looked up. He saw two young mening over. One of them was dressed in a fancy red suit.
It was Quin''s brother, Jeremy.
Beside Jeremy was a man in a suit in histe twenties. The man was tall, and his good looking face
attracted almost all the women''s attention while on his way. In addition to that, the slight smile on his
face alone could put many women into a state of anxiety.
However, in Fade''s eyes, his smile was particrly fake and disgusting. He couldn''t help but frown
and said, "Is he Howard?"
Quin nodded. Howard and Jeremy were already in front of them. Jeremy sneered and snorted,
showing no intention of greeting them.
Howard greeted her with a smile said warmly, "Quin, long time no see."

Quin nodded slightly, and her attitude was tense. "Mr. Zhang, you''re too polite."
However, Howard was still rxed, as if he didn''t notice Quin''s alienation. He still said
enthusiastically, "Quin, since we had dinner together thest time, we haven''t seen each other for
months. During this period, I have made appointments with you several times but you were too
busy. This time, I finally see you at this party thanks to Mayor Wu''s retirement. I feel much relieved."
As a handsome young man and one of the richest people in Bay City, it was rare for him to be so
affectionate and even humble to a woman.
Many women around them were ncing at Quin with envy and jealousy.
Quin frowned slightly. She didn''t like Howard''s deliberate way of approaching her. She took a step
back and said ndly, "Mr.
Zhang must be joking."
Howard continued to smile gently and said, "I haven''t seen you for a long time, Quin. Why don''t we
find a seat and have a talk?"
As he spoke, Howard walked over with a smile and reached out to grab Quin''s hand.
When Fade saw this, anger surged from the bottom of his heart. Who are you to touch my woman?
You deliberately pretended that I am invisible, and even reach out to hold my wife''s hand.
With a slight force, Fade pulled Quin into his arms and reached out to stop Howard''s hand, saying,
"My wife Quin has nothing to speak to you about."
As soon as he said this, Howard''s face turned cold. He pretended not to see Fade earlier to show
his disdain for him. But now, this guy began to provoke him and held Quin in his arms, which made
Howard''s temper rise furiously.
However, he was a well-known wealthy man, so he did not act aggressively. Howard remained
composed and smiled. He nced at Fade and said to Quin, "He is... Quin, why don''t you do
introduce him?"
Quin was in Fade''s arms. Smelling the strong scent of the man, her body became soft, her cheeks
were hot and her head was dizzy. She could barely register what Howard was saying to her.
As Quin did not respond, Howard''s eyes shed with anger. Then, he turned to Quin''s brother. "You
should know about the situation. Please introduce this gentleman to me.
Jeremy looked like it was the first time he saw Fade. He looked at Fade up and down and said,
"Master Zhang, I''m really sorry. Although I''m Quin''s brother, I don''t know who this guy is. My sister
would not have any contact with such a person."
"Oh, I don''t know you, sir, can you introduce yourself? What do you do for a living and what does
your family do?..." Howard said.
Looking at these two people echoing each other, how could Fade not notice that they deliberately
wanted to embarrass him?
Fade sneered, but he did not get annoyed. Instead, he held Quin tighter in his arms, raised the
corners of his mouth, smiled yfully, and said, "What a coincidence. You are her brother. In fact, I
am also her brother."
"Brother!"
The crowd was stunned. They didn''t know when Quin had such a frivolous brother. Moreover, this
guy was obviously younger than Quin!
Howard was also stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He said to Fade, "Oh, I don''t
know that Quin has another elder brother."
Jeremy directly pointed at Fade''s nose and hollered, "Boy, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Fade smiled yfully and said, ''Tm not talking nonsense. When we sleep together at night, Quin
often calls me her ‘good brother''.
The whole crowd fell into dead silence.
Everyone was dumbfounded and stared at Fade.
Even Quin, who was in Fade''s arms, was also stunned. It took her a long time toe to her
senses. Full of embarrassment, she clenched her fists and pounded a few times on Fade''s chest
An overwhelming sound rang in Quin''s mind. I told this guy not to talk nonsense before we entered
the door, but he had actually said such an embarrassing thing in public.
However, Quin also knew that Fade deliberately said this in order to provoke Howard.
But when she thought of the scene Fade described, she couldn''t help but recall the memory of her
and Fade spooning together in the hotel that fateful night. She couldn''t help blushing as red as a
rose.
This scene had undoubtedly confirmed what Fade just said. The rtionship between them was not
tonic. Even the way Quin hit Fade could be interpreted as being affectionate.
At this time, Howard''s face darkened. He stared at Fade fiercely as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"Mr. Zhang, long time no see."
At this time, a rich businessman who just came into the room smiled and greeted Howard. He finally
broke the awkward silence and the venue was lively again.
