In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 336 An Embarrassment

When Shirley heard what the wealthy lady said, she dug her nails into her palm hard, but she felt no pain.

All of a sudden, Kolby appeared out of nowhere and walked directly toward Shirley.

Then, there was a resounding slap, and Shirley held her cheek in disbelief. She spoke aggrievedly, "Dad, why did you hit me?"

Kolby was furious.

Aaron had already sent someone to warn him earlier, all because Shirley had intentionally made things difficult for Grace.

"Shirley, I guess you think you can call the shots now. What did I warn you about before you came here? Why did you provoke Ms. Lewis?"

Shirley clutched her face.

She couldn't believe that her father, who had always spoiled her, had hit her in public because of Grace.

She lowered her eyes and said nothing, but in her heart, she blamed all of this on Grace.

Kolby glared at her angrily and continued saying, "If you offend Ms. Lewis, then Wonderful Electronics is doomed. Do you know what you've done?"

Shirley bit her lip and said nothing.

Seeing that she was unrepentant, Kolby said, "Stop being an embarrassment here and get yourself home."This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Shirley looked up, her eyes misting over. "Dad—"

"Don't talk to me! You're not going to get a single penny until Wonderful Electronics is out of danger."

Shirley wilted at once, but Kolby had no time for her. He looked around, searching for Grace. He wanted to apologize to Grace.

Grace was currently surrounded by people, and there was no space around her at all.

When she finished dealing with all the businesspeople, she finally had time to catch her breath.

She sat on the couch and exhaled deeply. However, a pair of eyes in the crowd kept following her.

Grace raised her eyebrows. She had felt that intense stare on her and looked up, her gaze sweeping around her.

The pair of eyes had disappeared.

Grace frowned, wondering if she had imagined it.

When she looked away, a figure walked out from behind a pillar. His eyes were fixed on Grace, and they were filled with turbulent emotion.

"Milady, you were so cool just now!" Timothy had suddenly come toward her and sat down beside her.

His eyes were full of admiration and worship.

Grace said jokingly, "Mr. Donegan, you're doing pretty well for yourself after taking over Donegan Enterprises."

Timothy said, "I still prefer working at Amirate. At least I could see you every day."

Grace said nothing.

Timothy immediately continued, "The moment I got back, my old man wouldn't stop badgering me about settling my marriage to you.

"Milady, you're single now. Would you consider this chance to fulfill our families' wishes? Let's settle this marriage."

Timothy looked at her, full of anticipation, but Grace laughed awkwardly.

"Mr. Donegan, I'm afraid that you will regret it when you meet someone that you love in the future."

Timothy was serious. "Milady, you are the person that I have feelings for. I don't want anyone else in this world but you."

Grace shook her head lightly. She didn't think that what Timothy felt for her was love.

"Mr. Donegan, let's make a bet."

Timothy was excited. "What are we betting on? If you lose, will you marry me?"

"Is that all you're interested in?"
