Chapter 1096
Rossiter said furiously, "Watch your mouth! Do you know who you are talking to?"
Debbra was scared by what was happening in front of her eyes. She knew Rossiter well. Rossiter
had a huge ego that could lead to another disaster at this moment. Debbra had to stop Rossiter
from acting out.
Debbra exined to Rossiter in a hurry, "Rossiter, calm down. It''s okay. He is my friend."
"Friend?" Rossiter sized Henry up. Henry''s handsome face and confident presence posed as a
threat to Rossiter, "Debbra, howe I never heard this friend from you?"
"Haha," Debbra gave a fakeugh and lied to Rossiter, "He just came to Yizhou Country a while
ago."
"Debbra, did you try to fool my brother," Yesmina rolled her eyes, "A man who just came to Yizhou
Country is qualified for this party? Is he a son of some billionaire?"
Debbra took a look at Henry and didn''t know how to answer Yesmina. All she could do was to keep
faking herughing.
Yesmina reached out her hand to Henry and said,
"Nice to meet you. My name is Yesmina Zhong."
Henry looked at Yesmina and ignored her. He turned back to Debbra, "Do you forget about
something? Tell me what you know about Ailsa."
Being ignored by Henry, Yesmina was embarrassed.
"Are you trying to make trouble here?" Rossiter was furious. He raised his fist toward Henry.
Debbra panicked. She grabbed Rossiter''s arm before he could throw the punch. "Rossiter, what are
you doing?"
The way Debbra stopped Rossiter from punching Henry made Rossiter believed that she was
protecting Henry. Rossiter suspected that something was going on between Debbra and Henry.
What Rossiter didn''t know was that Debbra was protecting him.
Just as Rossiter was about to talk back, the music suddenly stopped, and then all the lights were
out. The sudden change caused amotion in the hall.
The darkness onlysted for one second. Suddenly a spotlight was turned on, and it focused on the
ce in front of the door.
Under the arched door, there was a blonde white woman. She wore a white chiffon dress decorated
with diamonds. The millions-of-euros dress was sparkling under the light.
The woman was tall and beautiful. As she walked forward, her legs appeared from the opening of
the skirt.
With a crystal tiara on her head, the woman smiled with confidence. She was the queen of the party.
"This is Clorissa Middleton," Debbra introduced to Henry. "She is the eldest daughter of the
Middleton family. Today''s party is for celebrating her birthday. I think another purpose of the party is
to celebrate the dealings with Ailsa Xiahou.
Henry squinted at Clorissa, "Go on."
Debbra took a deep breath and continued, "I only heard from hearsay. The name Ailsa Xiahou is a
taboo that people are not supposed to mention in front of the members of the Middleton family. It is
because the family stole a piece of research from Ailsa. I heard the research is about how to
prolong human life expectancy."
"Prolong human life expectancy?" Henry pondered, "Continue."
"A while ago, my Chamber of Commerce got a piece of information. It said that a Yan Xia woman
reached business cooperation with the Middleton family, and the investment of the cooperation was
in astronomical number. The information caused quite amotion in the business world of Yizhou
Country. Iter learned that the woman''s name was Ailsa Xiahou. But no one has ever seen her and
known anything about her except for the cooperation. It was two weeks ago, a friend of mine
contacted me and asked me if I know a way to smuggle a woman back to Yan Xia. After that, there
was gossip that Ailsa was in trouble. You know how gossip works. Everything travels fast these
days."
When Debbra telling Henry these, she looked very nervous. Debbra kept drinking wine to calm her
nerves.

"There was a lot of gossip saying that it was the Middleton family that persecuted Ailsa. Then the
Middleton family put out an official announcement. It said that the family obtained a piece of
research that could prolong human life expectancy. Two days earlier, there was news that two
people broke into the Middleton familypany building. Rumor has it that they are from a powerful
organization. I''m a nobody so I can''t get any detail about them. I just heard that they were in huge
trouble. Unless they are backed by some real power, the Middleton family probably will get them
killed."
Debbra didn''t pay attention to Henry while speaking, but at this moment, Henry stared at Clorissa as
if she was a dead body.
Debbra took another sip of wine and continued, "Well, there are many versions of the story. It
seems that the Middleton family knows people are talking about their dealings with Ailsa. So they
had one person killed just to show the rest of us an example. Anyone who dares to talk about Ailsa
Xiahou will be the enemy of the Middleton family. If you ask me, I say that''s a confirmation that they
have something to do with Ailsa''s misfortune."
Henry grinned, "They are such big bullies."
"What can the rest of us do?" Debbra sighed, "You can say that the Middleton family is The King
Region of Yizhou Country. No one can stop them except the Nuoman family."
Henry shook his head. In fact, the Middleton family had already got rid of the control of the Nuoman
family.
"Who is backing your people?" Henry murmured. He then stood up and walked forward.
Under the spotlight, Clorissa walked to the center of the hall. Everyone in the room was looking at
her.
People apuded after Clorissa''s performance of a set ofdy etiquette. Then the light turned back
on.
After the apuse, no one spoke. Everyone knew the spokesman of the Middleton family was
about to make an announcement.
Clorissa looked around in the hall. She was ready to speak, but another voice interrupted her.
"Before you speak, I have a question for you."
