His words caused a sensation. Brandon’s calm expression made him even more intimidating. He said,


    “My wife and I are one. I invited her here tonight, and I didn’t expect her to be so disrespected. Ewing,


    is this your idea of entertaining guests?”


    Embarrassed, Ewing said, “Mr. Larson, there must be some misunderstanding.”


    They had heard that Brandon loved his wife, and today they witnessed how strong that bond was.


    Seeing her husband in such a dilemma, Brenna apologized to Natalie, “I’m sorry for what happened


    just now, Mrs. Larson. I wanted to protect Mandy, and I am ashamed to admit that I lost my temper. I


    will contact the media and exin my mistake with regards to the service I received from W Marks.”


    Natalie nced at Brandon and then at Brenna. “Thank you.”


    Brandon nodded approvingly and smiled. Brenna and Ewing were relieved. Smiling, Ewing announced,


    “Mr. Larson was just kidding.”


    Brandon didn’t argue. Before Natalie could say anything, she was pulled onto the dance floor by her


    husband. The two danced beautifully. At the outer edges of the party, Mandy stamped her feet. She


    looked at Draco next to her andined, “What did Mrs. Olson do wrong? It was obviously Natalie’s


    fault. She was being very impolite.”


    Mandy hadn’t expected Natalie to attend the dinner party. After she saw the heated exchange between


    her and Brenna from a distance, she became very excited, as she had been looking forward to


    something like this. She had thought Brenna would teach Natalie a lesson, and didn’t expect that


    Brenna herself would rather be taught a lesson by Brandon. Mandy had never seen her as


    embarrassed as she was today!


    “Brandon has some nerve. Who does he think he is? Does he think he can do whatever he wants in


    Barnes just because he’s rich? Unbelievable!” She put her ss down and got ready to walk over to


    help.


    “Calm down, Mandy!” Dracomanded in a cold voice, grabbing her wrist firmly and giving her a


    stern look.


    Mandy was shocked by his reaction. “Why are you upset with me? It’s your employee, Natalie, that you


    need to be upset with! She needs some discipline!”


    She could sense the anger in his tone and knew that he was trying to stand up for Natalie.


    In addition to that, he had been mean to her the entire night.


    Mandy had thought that Draco was there to apologize, but now she understood that he only came there


    to confront her.


    “You keep picking on Natalie. On several asions I’ve had to remind you to desist from it.” Draco let


    go of her wrist and said coldly, “You didn’t feel any remorse at all, and you ended up getting Brenna in


    trouble. You’re so stubborn.”


    Mandy suddenly felt inexplicable sadness. She anxiously asked, “Do you mean to say that I


    intentionally brought Natalie here tonight?” The mere thought of that was ridiculous.


    “Mrs. Olson and I didn’t know that she would be here today. Mrs. Olson didn’t n this.” Mandy had


    never been this devastated by Draco’s disapproval.


    He squinted his eyes and asked, “Wasn’t it Brenna who brought a lot of bad press to W Marks? I’ve


    already spoken to the media outlets, and they all said that she was the one who leaked the information


    to them.”


    Mandy didn’t know what to say in the moment. She then admitted with a lot of guilt, “Mrs. Olson was


    just telling the truth, and on the day that she called, Elizabeth tried to me me for it.”

    With a clear mind, Draco immediately made a concise point. “ If you hadn’t gone ahead and moved all


    the things out of the W Marks, and also hadn’t asked Brenna mount pressure on me to make me


    apologize, none of these events would have taken ce today.” This made Mandy’s heart skip a beat.


    She realized that Draco was really angry this time. She bit her lower lip, with eyes full of tears. She


    touched the hem of his clothes and said softly, “Don’t be so mad at me. I’m here to make amends.”


    Draco avoided her touch and nced at her coldly. “I just came here to let you know that I won’t be


    siding with you anymore. Take care of yourself. If you still consider me as a friend, don’t do anything


    more disappointing than you already have.”


    As soon as Draco finished speaking, he left the vi. Mandy took a deep breath, wiped the tears from


    her face and ran out after him.


    At the center of the dance floor, Natalie rested her head on Brandon’s shoulder and danced to the


    rhythm of the music. She cast an innocent nce at the entrance and suddenly saw the sh of a


    familiar figure.


    She couldn’t help but stare in the direction of the front door.


    “What’s wrong?”


    “I just saw someone who looked like Mr. Wesley.” By the time Natalie finished mentally processing what


    she saw, the familiar figure had disappeared.


    “It can’t be him. Draco definitely wouldn’t attend an event like this.” As he held her waist, Brandon


    suddenly lifted her off her feet.


    Taken by surprise by his move, Natalie rested her hands on his shoulders and blushed,pletely


    forgetting about Draco.


    “Draco, wait for me!” In her high heels, Mandy pursued him.


    She looked incredibly humiliated as she cried in the chilly night wind, ruining her mascara and leaving


    tears to run down her cheeks into two ck streaks.


    Mandy never expected she would be in this situation just a day ago. She had high self- esteem. But,


    her confidence had significantly eroded as a result of love.


    Neither did Draco show mercy, nor did he turn around.


    In fact, he was well aware that Mandy was not a bad person. She was just too self-willed. When it


    pertained to people and things she disliked, she had a habit of attributing all faults to others. She was a


    proud woman who believed she would never be wrong.


    He was determined to teach her a lesson this time!


    Mandy became increasingly tense as she watched him walk more hurriedly. She didn’t anticipate that


    Brenna’s approach would not only fail but that this time Draco would get even angrier with her because


    of the mistake. It was only a matter of seconds until the green light turned red when she noticed that he


    was about to cross the road. Despite her best efforts, she couldn’t catch up with him because she


    inadvertently stuck her high heeled shoe inside the sewer’s lid.


    Draco hesitated when he heard a faint cry behind him but eventually decided against turning around.


    Mandy’s erratic personality and wealthy family background had affected her design career greatly and


    not in the good way. She would never mature or stray from the right path if she couldn’t get through


    these challenges.


    Mandy covered her face as she sobbed vehemently. Without a doubt, she didn’t expect that she would


    have to suffer so greatly for a mistake.
