Chapter 175
All of a sudden, everyone looked in that direction.
Colton felt his scalp numb. Tonight''s events werepletely out of his control. He would never have
thought that his daughter, who had been so docile since she was a child and only asionally dressed
up as a man to hang out outside, would be so rebellious and disobedient.
Tonight was the engagement party for the Knights and the Gablehausers, and so many respectable,
powerful people from the upper ss were here. But they actually made such a scene. This was so
humiliating! He could imagine how bad the Knights ''s reputation would be after tonight, and how deep
their feud with the Knights would be.
If he had known this would happen tonight, he would hope that he had never proposed this marriage.
Of course, there was also a method to save the reputation of the Knights . To do that, his daughter''s
so-called boyfriend should be a big shot with a powerful background, and he should be much nobler
than Martin. Only in this way could the face of the Knights be saved.
But was this possible? It was not!
It was simple. But if his daughter''s boyfriend was really a big shot, how could he be so low-key? How
could he tolerate his woman getting engaged to other men? Nonsense.
So at this moment, Colton was in a really bad mood. He had never been in such a bad mood before.
ze''s face had turned livid and extremely bad. Anyone could tell that he was on the verge of copse
and would explode at any moment. That was reasonable. ze could be called a very powerful person
in this city. He was so humiliated, but he didn''t lose his temper on the spot. It could be said that he had
a good temper!
Martin had a creepy smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to emit a dim fire, which was very scary.
As Kaylie finished speaking, the room was silent, and no one made a sound. They were all waiting for
Kaylie to say who her mysterious boyfriend was.
However, after five seconds of Kaylie''s words, there was still no response, and the venue was still
eerily quiet.
"Eh? What happened? Where''s Kaylie''s boyfriend? He didn''t show up."
"Yes. Did he run away already?"
"I think it''s possible. Some people are at daggers drawn. How dare he show up? He will be eaten alive
by the Gablehausers."
"Kaylie has been deceived. Why didn''t she just marry Martin? I don''t know why she got a boyfriend
outside."
"It''s said that beautiful women are not very intelligent. Now it seems that this is indeed the case."
"This is interesting. From now on, the two families will definitely have a grudge..."
Suchments could be heard everywhere and reached Kaylie''s ears, making her feel particrly
ufortable. Her nose grew sorer and sorer, and her eyes turned red.
At this moment, she felt an unprecedented grievance and really wanted to cry, but she held it back.
She began to ept the fact that Tom had really abandoned her and left. In the end, she lost and
became a joke.
The change of her expression was noticed by Martin. He immediately smiled gloatingly and
aggressively. "What? Your boyfriend left and didn''t dare toe out?"
Kaylie bit her lips and did not speak.
Just then, a voice sounded from the crowd. "Who said I had left?"
The voice was so sudden. It was not very loud, but it was powerful. It resounded throughout the room
and everyone heard it.
Immediately, everyone''s eyes turned to where the voice came and saw a man in a suit, with a button
undone, without a tie, looking especially unrestrained and cool. His hair wasn''t specially styled like the
others. He didn''t look handsome, but he was very charming in a special way.
It was Tom!
When Malcolm, who was beside him, heard him speak, he was confused and surprised. He never
thought that Kaylie''s boyfriend was him!
When Kaylie heard this familiar voice, her expression immediately froze. She immediately looked over
and saw Tom. The tears she had been holding back finally flowed down her face. She was very excited
and touched!
She thought she was in a desperate situation, but she saw the light in a corner in the end.
Tom didn''t give up on her and was still here. That was great!
Martin also saw Tom, and his expression was extremely funny. A cold light appeared in his eyes.
"Tom, it''s you?!" He screamed out, being ill-mannered.
He couldn''t help it. Just two days ago, he almost died in Tom''s hands. His hatred for Tom was deep in

his bones!
When ze heard his son''s scream, he immediately came to his senses and stared at Tom, clenching
his fists in hatred and ferocity.
At the same time, in the crowd, Rory also stood up abruptly, and the ss in his hand fell to the ground
with a bang.
His reaction was too big, but after two seconds, he pped himself in the face. How could he have
forgotten about it! He had seen Tom and Kaylie together thest time!
Martin who reacted the same also had forgotten about it.
However, it was one thing to see Kaylie and Tom having dinner together in private, and it was different
for them to be at tonight''s party. Tom wanted to grab his wife! How dare him?
Under everyone''s gaze, Tom walked out of the crowd, went up to the stage, stood in front of Kaylie,
took out a tissue, gently wiped away the tears on her face, and said with a smile, "Why are you crying?
I''m here."
Kaylie pursed her lips and then bit them. She felt aggrieved and happy. She pinched Tom''s arm hard
and said coquettishly, "Where did you go just now? I had to call you before you came out. I hate you!"
Tom smiled and did not say anything. Then he greeted Colton and Lani. He looked polite.
Since he had promised to be Kaylie''s excuse, he had to stick to the end. He had to have ethics and be
professional.
Colton did not respond. He stared at Tom with a sullen, angry face.
So was Lani.
In their eyes, Tom was not as outstanding as Martin at all! He was just an ordinary person, and his shirt
was unbuttoned, which made him look very indecent.
Kaylie held Tom''s arm intimately and smiled sweetly and happily. She said to Colton and Lani, "Dad,
mom, this is my boyfriend, Tom. Now that you know him, don''t ask me to marry Martin anymore. I don''t
like him at all."
