Chapter 250


    Everyone knew this was the first time Andre had made a public appearance with his wife. Everyone


    was sneakily observing this couple. Without a doubt, Mia was the center of attention today. If it weren''t


    for the fact that the man by her side was Andre, there would probably be a bunch of guys around her


    right now.


    Unfortunately, she was Andre''s wife, so no one dared to approach her.


    "Come on, let''s meet the host today." Andre said, ready to walk with his wife in his arms.


    "Honey, I haven''t found my rival in love yet." Mia responded.


    Andre was curious. In the car earlier, she had mentioned finding a rival. Did she have one? "Who?"


    Andre asked.


    "I should be asking you." Mia retorted, "Who''s your confidante?"


    Andre didn''t even know he had a confidante.


    Mia repeated what Hansen had said, and then seriously asked her husband, "Who is this woman


    exactly?"


    Upon hearing this, Andreughed. Turns out his wife was jealous. "Silly, you got tricked by dad and you


    didn''t even realize it." Andre said.


    "Huh?" Mia was confused.


    Andre cupped his wife''s face and looked into her eyes, "Dad wanted to show you off, but I wanted to


    keep you hidden. He deliberately used what you care about the most to lure you into attending this


    banquet, to achieve his goal."All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Mia furrowed her brows, "What’s there to show off for?"


    Andre looked his wife up and down. She probably didn''t realize how beautiful she was. Just looking at


    her, Andre could understand why ancient kings preferred beautiful women. "Mia, do you know you''re


    beautiful?" Andre asked.


    Mia blushed. Her husband wasplimenting her looks in public. Aaron and Madison also heard their


    daughter and son-inw had arrived. They came to find them.


    "Mia, Andre." Aaron and Madison greeted them.


    "Dad, Mom!" Upon seeing them, Mia immediately ditched her husband and walked over to her parents.


    Madison asked, "What were you two talking about?"


    "Nothing much. My husband was just saying how beautiful I am." Mia said.


    Andre awkwardly coughed. Madison looked at her daughter today. Normally, she just saw her as a


    child. Today, she saw her as a grown woman, stunningly beautiful.


    "Have you met Harry yet?" Aaron asked his son-inw.


    Andre said, "We''ve met a lot of familiar faces since entering. We''re about to go say hello."


    Madison couldn''t help but advise her daughter, "Be polite when you go, and speak sweetly. The Rayner


    family and the Cedillo family have been friends for decades."


    "I know, Mom, I''ll behave." Mia said.


    Andre took Mia away.


    Watching her daughter''s retreating figure, Madison felt a wave of emotion.


    Upon meeting the elders of the Rayner family, Mia greeted them politely. She knew what to say to them


    and her behavior was just right.


    Rebaplimented her, "Hansen has good taste. Both his daughters-inw are pleasing. Naomi is


    capable, and Mia is well-behaved."


    Her words praised all the people in the Cedillo family. On the surface, she was praising Hansen and his


    two daughters-inw, but implicitly, she was also praising Bruce and Andre''s good luck.


    Having spent time with Mia, the people of the Cedillo family knew that "well-behaved" was just Mia''s


    outward behavior. She smiled sweetly at the Rayner family elders, "Hansen is the best person in our


    family."


    Upon hearing this, Hansen began to feel proud.


    Then, Mia added, "He never lies to us, and never causes disputes between me and my husband."


    Upon hearing this, Hansen felt a bit strange. Why did this sentence sound so odd? Suddenly, Hansen


    remembered the untruthful things he had said in the past. He felt a bit embarrassed. Hansen quickly


    changed the subject, steering the conversation towards his daughter.


    Speaking of Molly, naturally, people would think of Mr. Kendrick and his resilient son.


    "I heard Chad arrested Brian a while ago. I don''t know who recorded this video and released the


    news."


    Andre turned his head to look at his wife, one of the culprits. Mia pretended not to understand his


    words.


    Hansen was also confused, "The person who was arrested was released the next day. Just now when I


    came, I saw Brian making friends enthusiastically, this incident has a big impact on theirpany."


    Mia lost control of her emotions, "Dad, you''re saying Brian is here too?"


    Hansen nodded, "He''s here. He was in the hall in front just now, didn''t you see him? Oh, right, you


    don''t know him."


    Mia, who almostughed out loud, "What? I definitely know him. He must have been hiding from me


    earlier, afraid I would chew him out again."


    Andre quickly coughed, reminding his wife to behave. Mia got the hint. She bit her tongue,


    embarrassed, and didn''t know what to say next.


    Andre said to Naomi, "Naomi, Mia just said she wanted to go to the restroom. Can you take her?"


    Naomi agreed, she extended her hand to Mia, "Mia,e with me."


    Mia gave her hand to Naomi and was led away. Not long after they left, Naomi was called away by


    someone familiar. Mia didn''t want to go to the restroom in the first ce, so now she was free. She


    took advantage of theck of supervision and sneaked into the banquet hall on her own.


    The hall was filled with guests attending the banquet. Everyone was chatting with each other, creating


    a harmonious atmosphere. Mia was looking for her rival in love earlier, now, she started looking for her


    enemy.


    Suddenly, a person in the southwest corner of the banquet hall caught her attention. Mia smirked,


    "Here we go, Brian."


    Brian was happily chatting with a few people when an uninvited guest arrived.


    "What a coincidence, Brian."


    Upon hearing this voice, Brian had a bad feeling. Sure enough, as soon as he turned around, he saw


    Mia''s giggling face. Brian''s heart jumped into his throat.


    Mia hollered in the crowd, "Brian, when did you bust out of the mmer? I was pretty baffled when the


    head of the financial investigation squad hauled you away. I meant to pay you a visit in the clink,


    however, I didn''t expect you to get out so soon. Good for you. Now, Brian, why the hell did they nab


    you?"


    Everyone in the hall turned to look.


    Aaron and Madison also focused on their darling daughter. They were about to step in when Mia


    blurted out, "I saw in the news that the Marshal Group is about to go bust, dealing with financial crisis,


    and almost got snapped up by someone else. Is that true? Also, why did Calder Corporation suddenly


    cut ties with you guys?"


    Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively distanced themselves from Brian. They didn''t want to get


    entangled in his mess.


    Brian noticed that the people around him were deliberately avoiding him, and he became so angry that


    the veins on his forehead bulged. He''d just spent half an hour assuring these folks that thepany''s


    financial situation was all good, hoping for some potential coborations. But in just three minutes, Mia


    had demolished all his hard work!


    Aaron, who knew his daughter''s mind, realized she seemed to have some beef with the Marshal family.


    He held his wife''s hand, stopping her from moving forward, saying, "Let''s just watch from here."
