Chapter 700


    Mia was hiding not far away, hesitating to approach.


    Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder. Mia screamed in fright, her face pale.


    At the sound, everyone’s attention was drawn to Mia.


    Feeling utterly embarrassed, Mia immediately turned to the person who had startled her. It was


    Evelyn.


    There was a man with Evelyn, fairly handsome and youthful. His looks were above average but not


    strikingly handsome.


    “Evelyn, you scared the hell out of me.”


    “What are you doing here?”


    Evelyn’s gaze drifted to Penny in the distance. She stiffened and instinctively looked at the man beside


    her.


    That man was Murray.


    Seeing that Murray hadn’t noticed Penny, Evelyn let out a sigh of relief.


    Elsewhere, Sharon continued to mock Maja.


    “Did I meet you somewhere before?”


    Maja stiffened. She did find Sharon familiar but couldn’t remember where they had met.


    Until Sharon spoke.


    “At the Academy of Fine Arts of Solstice College’s party a few years back, the Haskins family was


    invited as investors. A student ran out from backstage in a rush. Was that you?”


    Maja felt as if her heart was being squeezed tightly.


    Back then, the Academy of Fine Arts of Solstice College had several investors, one of whom was

    Daniel.


    And Maja, for her excellent grades and pretty face, was assigned to present flowers to these investors.


    At that time, Daniel told her he had forgotten something and asked her to fetch it.


    Maja really followed Daniel backstage, and Daniel came straight at her.


    Scared, Maja struggled and ran out of the crowded auditorium in embarrassment.


    Everyone thought she had just tripped. But those investors were shrewd people, and they might have


    noticed what happened backstage.


    Suddenly, Sharon realized, “I remember now, you were the student who hooked up with a man


    backstage even during the party!”


    Sharon smirked, her mouth curling up.


    “I wondered why you looked familiar. You haven’t changed, did you still relying on men? Seems like the


    man you were with that night didn’t give you much money. Did you get caught by his wife? Is that why


    you look so awkward now?”


    The graduation ceremony was a sore spot for Maja, and now Sharon was relentlessly attacking her.


    Maja remained silent, and Sharon seemed all the more exhrated.


    “Speechless? Who gives you the right to offend the Haskins family?”


    Maja turned her head to look at the painting on the wall, ignoring Sharon.


    Sharon, feeling triumphant, was suddenly taken aback by Maja’s calm demeanor, feeling like a clown


    putting on a wild performance.


    So, she lifted her hand, without any hesitation, grabbed a ss of wine, and sshed it towards Maja.


    Arge pir blocked the view, so nobody around noticed.


    Just as Sharon was about to mock Maja’s awkwardness, a ss of red wine sshed all over her.


    Maja wanted to just let it slide, and she really couldn’t afford to offend the Haskins family.


    But Sharon clearly didn’t want to let it go so easily.


    Sincen was willing to help her solve this problem, what’s the harm in offending Sharon?


    Whatever she did tonight, she had already offended the Haskins family.


    “Mrs. Sharon, since you love sshing wine on people, why don’t you taste it yourself? And about


    Mia’s photo, if I’m not in a good mood, I might just share it with others. Let’s see if the Haskins family


    can handle the scandal.”


    Sharon’s face was covered in red wine, which was still dripping down her cheeks.


    It was quite a scene here. Initially, no one noticed them, but due to the wine sshing, people


    around quickly turned their attention.


    Sharon had never been humiliated like this, and she stared at Maja in disbelief.


    “Bang!”


    Sharon smashed the wine ss in her hand.


    “I won’t let you off today. Security, kick her out!”


    The Haskins family had a huge influence in Greenfield. As soon as Sharon gave the order, the


    security guards rushed over.


    Just as they were about to make a move, a cold male voice rang out.


    “What kind of trouble did you get into while I was gone?”


    The crowd parted a small path for him. Ian was standing not far away, slowly approaching.


    He stood next to Maja, took out a handkerchief, and roughly wiped her face.


    Then,n looked at Sharon and smiled, “What did Penny do to offend you?”


    Sharon took a step back.


    Fitch hadn’t told her thatn was really interested in this designer. Otherwise he wouldn’t have stood up


    for Penny in front of so many people.


    n, what’s your rtionship with Ms. Penny?”


    Sharon opened her mouth, and now she was back to her senses.


    People around were initially listening as if it was some juicy gossip, but seeingn’s reaction, he clearly


    didn’t want to say more.


    Standing next ton, Maja was wiping the wine off her neck with a handkerchief.


    But one handkerchief was obviously not enough. Sharon had sshed a whole ss of wine on her.


    Turning her head, Maja saw another exquisite handkerchief in front of her. Looking up at the hand


    holding the handkerchief, she saw a man wearing a mask.


    People around didn’t know who this man was, but everyone who coulde here must have been


    invited.
