    CHAPTER 562 THE COMMOTION AT THE ENGAGEMENT CEREMONY


    "What do you mean by that? Whom are you calling ugly?" Emmerlyn''s face changed instantly when


    she heard this. "Miss, we don''t have any issues with each other. You don''t need to attack me like this."


    She had been spoiled since she was a child, and this was the first time someone had called her ugly.


    Most importantly, the woman in front of her was several times more beautiful than her, and Emmerlyn


    couldn''t find any words to provoke her. This is so frustrating!


    Elspeth crossed her arms and casually nced at Yelena on the stage. "What grudges do you have


    against her? Do you really have to attack her like this?"


    Emmerlyn was stunned and couldn''t find any words to refute her.


    "Today is her big day. Miss Godith, if you continue to create problems here, it wouldn''t be surprising if


    Azure Corporation decides not to associate with the Godith Family in the future."


    What was implied here was that if Emmerlyn dared to bully Elspeth''s friend, she wouldn''t do business


    with Emmerlyn''s family. Emmerlyn wasn''t an airhead; she knew some ins and outs of her family


    business. She had heard her father mention the cooperation between Azure Corporation and Godith


    Family before, and Elspeth was not someone she could easily offend. Nheless, she had already


    promised to defend Rosita, so retracting her words now would be difficult to exin. Emmerlyn found


    herself unable to respond and stood there feeling awkward.


    "I…" Rosita saw that things were not going well but didn''t want to give up this opportunity.

    She then deliberately pretended to be aggrieved to fan the mes and said unhappily, "Okay, Emmie, I


    know you''re doing this for my own good and to help vent on my behalf, but you don''t need to do this.


    Today is Yelena''s big day. I know they''re ruining your reputation by saying all that. But if you ruin this


    engagement ceremony, then…"


    Emmerlyn was already a hot-tempered person with a big ego who cared about her reputation. When


    she heard Rosita''s words, she even felt everyone around could see how awkward she was feeling.


    Thus, the anger that had just died down was suddenly ignited again. "No, I have to help you vent


    today."


    At this moment, Emmerlyn didn''t care about family business issues, and her voice rose a few decibels.


    "Miss Lynwood, you don''t need to use this matter to threaten me. My Godith Family doesn''t need your


    partnership."


    "Well then, let''s add the Winthrop Family to your list of unneeded partnerships." Callum, who had been


    silent on the side, also spoke up to defend Elspeth. His cold gaze fell on Emmerlyn, almost swallowing


    her whole.


    "Um…" Emmerlyn swallowed hard and suddenly didn''t know how to deal with this. She had already


    offended two families now and suddenly felt a little flustered. Was it worth it to offend Callum and


    Elspeth for Rosita? She wasn''t sure yet.


    Hank, who had just helped out with the guests nearby, also noticed the situation and hurried over with a


    ss of wine in his hand. When Emmerlyn saw Hank, who was dressed in a white suit and looked


    dashing, she suddenly couldn''t speak. Although she said she was standing up for Rosita, she had also


    done it because of her unspoken feelings for Hank. She had liked him for longer than Rosita had.


    However, she knew that Hank would never look at someone like her, andpared to Rosita, she was


    inferior in status. In any case, she would rather her best friend have Hank than someone else she didn''t


    know.


    "You''re causing trouble at my engagement ceremony, huh?" Hank''s eyes were calm without emotion,


    and Emmerlyn thought he didn''t care about the engagement ceremony.


    So, she gathered her courage and spoke up, "Hank, I know you actually have feelings for Rosita.


    Yelena is not worthy of you, so I''m just standing up for you. I-I…"


    Speaking to someone she liked made her stutter. Hank chuckled lightly, his voice like thin ice as he


    said, "So, I should thank you, is that it?"


    "Don''t mention it. It''s what I should do." Emmerlyn saw Hank smile at her for the first time and couldn''t


    help but blush.


    "Then, I''ll give you a big gift." Hank changed his tone. "Starting today, the Damazio Family will cancel


    all partnerships with the Godith Family, and we will never coborate again."


    This was truly a big gift. Emmerlyn''s face turned pale in an instant. She had just offended Callum and


    Elspeth just now and nned to go home to apologize to her family. At most, she would be grounded


    for a few days, and it would pass. However, if it involved Hank… She couldn''t even imagine what the


    consequences would be. "Hank, I was wrong! Please don''t… My dad will definitely beat me!"


    "It''s okay. Let Mr. Godith teach you a lesson on how to behave properly."


    Emmerlyn felt a deep sense of fear from the bottom of her heart. She didn''t expect that what was just a


    small incident that shouldn''t be causing too much negative impact would bring about such big trouble.


    She reached out to grab Hank''s sleeve, but he dodged it at thest second.


    "Take Miss Godith home," he ordered his guards.


    Hank stood to the side with a cool andposed demeanor and a hint of disgust in his eyes.


    "No, no, no!" Three or four security guards rushed up and grabbed Emmerlyn''s arms, ready to drag her


    out. As Emmerlyn''s voice gradually disappeared, Hank shifted his gaze back to Rosita.


    Having experienced Hank''s wrath before, Rosita had no desire to y the innocent victim and kept her


    head down in silence, trying to distance herself.


    "Miss Foley." Hank''s voice finally broke the silence like a spell. "You don''t need to use others to stir up


    trouble like this. I won''t hold it against you this time out of respect for Mr. Foley, but next time might be


    a different story."


    With Rosita''s prestigious background, it was indeed troublesome to offend her. A few simple threats


    were enough.


    Rosita, being a clever woman, understood his intention, and the remaining trace of interest she had for


    him disappeared in an instant. She gave a faint smile and said, "Mr. Damazio, I''m sure you''re joking. Of


    course, I would never d-do such a thing."


    Publicly humiliating her and making her lose her reputation in front of so many people was already the


    biggest warning.


    Hank turned around gracefully. His eyes were now filled with deep affection for Yelena on the stage.


    Seeing his encouraging gaze, Yelena felt relieved all of a sudden.


    "Well, it was just a little incident…"


    No one wanted to offend the Damazio Family, and with Callum and Elspeth''s overt support, no one


    dared to continue talking or joking about the matter.


    The man sitting in the corner, who had watched the whole thing, sipped his drink with a hint of


    amusement as his smile grew wider.
