Betty realized she had said the wrong thing! She had brought up a topic that L hadn’t even mentioned, and now he could easily use it to reveal how she and her friends had insulted and mocked him earlier. Betty was beside herself with regret, wishing she could p herself in the face.


    She couldn’t afford to offend Erik or humiliate his esteemed guest. Her family’s business in jade and jewelry depended on their dealings with the Reid’s Group, which was closely tied to Vincent, the wealthiest man in this state. Vincent was practically groveling at L’s feet, offering him shares of hispany as a token of gratitude for saving his wife’s life.


    It was clear that offending L would be tantamount to offending Vincent himself. Betty’s family business would likely suffer greatly if they lost their connection with the Reid’s Group or if Vincent cut ties with the Ellis family altogether. The other rich heirs present looked just as nervous and fearful as Betty did; they were even more vulnerable than her since their families didn’t have as much clout or influencepared to the Ward family or Vincent.


    This was bad news indeed! One sentence from L could ruin everything for them all!


    If they had known, why did they have to open their mouth and follow Paul’s lead? Such a lowly person…


    Even Orion looked bitter.


    He wasn’t afraid of offending Erik and Vincent since he didn’te from Kreanford. But today, he came seeking medical help.


    Now it seemed that L was the famous doctor…


    “It’s… nothing.” Betty waved her hand, trying to make herselfugh naturally but found her face stiffening.


    “Oh? Nothing?” Erik was suspicious and then looked at L. “L, what’s going on? Is something wrong?”


    When they saw Erik directly asking L, these second-generation rich kids all felt their hearts tighten as cold sweat began to break out.


    This was bad! This was bad!


    However, the next second surprised them. L smiled and shook his head. “Nothing’s wrong; everything’s fine. This little beauty here is quite cute in her foolishness; this big beauty over here is pleasing to the eye; and this Mr. Moore has a unique voice. As for them, each one is quite talkative. It’s good-everything’s good.”


    L smiled at these young people without mentioning any previous unpleasantness whatsoever.


    Upon hearing these words, the second-generation kids couldn’t help but stare at L in surprise.


    As they let out a sigh of relief, a hint of gratitude and shame even surfaced in their eyes.


    Despite being ridiculed and mocked by them, this guy was actually helping them cover up?


    Betty looked at L and blinked her eyes a few times!


    Before this, if anyone dared to call her stupid, she would definitely tear their mouth apart.


    However, for some reason, Betty felt particrly pleased to hear L say this about her.


    Kiera looked at L with a hint of surprise and admiration in her beautiful eyes.


    This guy actually had such an open mind and generosity?


    “What about me?” At this point, Reeva approached L with some coquettishness and asked somewhat petntly.


    It seemed that while L had “reviewed” all the other young people present, he hadn’t evaluated her yet. This made Reeva somewhat dissatisfied.


    L nced over at her before smirking


    This girl had an indescribable gratitude and fondness for L in her heart.


    After practicing the “Fierce Phoenix Heart Sutra” for just over a week, she was pleasantly surprised to find that her strength had actually broken through to the Dark Force Realm.


    The body hair that used to make her feel ashamed fell off one by one, leaving behind smooth and delicate skin. Today, Reeva deliberately wore a dress that made her look stunningly beautiful.


    It had been so long since she felt confident enough to show off her feminine charm like this.


    Cough cough–Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    At this moment, Erik coughed a few times and introduced Kiera as his granddaughter to L. “You young people canmunicate more!” he said with a smile.


    Can next to him sneered inwardly, thinking: You old man! Are you feeling ufortable seeing my granddaughter getting close with L?


    Kiera pursed her lips and took a step forward, extending her hand towards L. “Mr. Willis, hello!”


    “Hello.” L shook hands with Kiera before quickly letting go of it.


    Erik seemed somewhat dissatisfied with what he saw and gave his granddaughter an angry re.


    Kiera felt the gaze of her grandfather on herself and couldn’t help but feel aggrieved and resentful inside. What was going on? Did she have to hold onto this guy’s hand forever?


    And this guy was married to Miranda. Did her Grandpa really want her to go after a married man.


    But the truth was, he did have that intention.


    In his eyes, L was not really a married man. The marriage with Miranda was just for show. If L and his granddaughter hit it off, then there wouldn’t be any problem at all.


    “Hey, what are you guys doing standing at the door? Come in and sit down!” Erik noticed that L was still standing at the door and quickly invited him in.


    Just as everyone had settled down in the private room, several figures burst in aggressively. It was Henry and his henchmen along with Paul from the Ward family’s side branch.


    “Where’s the troublemaker?” Henry looked around as he entered.


    Seeing that L was already present, he paused for a moment before saying, “Mr. Willis, you’re already here…”


    “Henry, what are you doing barging in like this?” Erik scolded him displeasedly before he could finish speaking. Everyone present were important people with status; how could his grandsone bursting in like this?


    At that very moment, Paul, who had been following Henry, suddenly pointed at L and eximed, “Henry, it’s him!”


    Then, he turned to Erik and said, “Erik, this guy stole our family’s Supreme Card and is causing a scene here by pretending to be a Supreme member! I can’t believe he actually dares toe up here. Watch me break his legs and throw him out, so he won’t disturb our distinguished guest today!”


    As Paul spoke, the room fell silent. Everyone looked at Paul with strange expressions.


    “Yeah! I can’t believe I actually dared toe up here. Can you guess why I’m so fearless?” L asked with a mischievous grin.


    Feeling the gaze of everyone in the room and seeing the mocking smile on L’s face, Paul inexplicably began to feel uneasy.


    “Henry, what’s going on here?” Paul asked, his voice filled with confusion.


    Henry’s gaze turned ice-cold, and he spoke in a chilling tone, “The troublemaker you’re talking about is Mr. Willis?”


    Smack!


    With that, he pped Paul hard across the face and said each word with emphasis, “You are blind, aren’t you?”
