“Miss Magnolia,” said Howard’s butler, who approached her with a smile when the atmosphere grew unbearably tense. “Mr. Cole has a few more words to say to you. Please come with me. Margot nodded lightly and followed the butler upstairs.
However, her wrist was suddenly grabbed the next second, and Halsey’s deep voice sounded, “Margot, I called you. Didn’t you hear mer
Margot turned around and raised her hand to slap him across the face. Halsey dodged swiftly and released his grip on her.
“Excuse me, sir, aren’t you going too far? I’ve clearly rejected you since we were in the elevator, yet you keep pestering me. Don’t you understand human language? I suggest you go back to school and relearn some manners!”
Even with her mask on, her fury was palpable. She continued, “And this Margot that you keep mentioning, should I know her? Or are you confusing me with her? I don’t know this person at all. You’ve got the wrong person, so stop bothering me. okay? You’re only making yourself look shameless. With that, she turned away and followed the butler upstairs.
Maggie stood rooted in place, her cold expression visibly fading. Has she lost her mind?
Not only did Margot believe this, but those around her who overheard her words looked utterly shocked. Does this Miss Magnolia know who she is talking to? He’s the heir of the Greene family, the most prestigious family in Harlington, and the youngest leader of the Greene Group. By insulting him publicly, how does she expect her life to go on smoothly after this? She might ruin the reputation that she has painstakingly built tonight!
Those who were interested in collaborating with Margot earlier began to hesitate. Meanwhile, Halsey, the subject of the insults, stood there with a dark expression. The cold sharpness in his alluring eyes grew colder as he watched her leave resolutely. He reached up to tug at his collar. Great! She must have been tired of living!
“Mr. Greene, this is a misunderstanding,” Maggie quickly explained, noticing his visibly ugly expression.
Halsey’s expression resumed very quickly. He glanced at her coldly and said, “I have mistaken her for someone else. Please apologize to Miss Magnolia on my behalf.
Maggie was stunned. What is he doing? However, her calm demeanor shattered in an instant. The elegant, handsome man said expressionlessly. “But I’m not the forgiving type. Being insulted openly made me feel ashamed, and when I’m upset, some people shouldn’t expect to have an easy time.” With that, he turned and walked away.
Maggie was speechless. It’s completely over.
Seeing Margot walk in, Howard greeted her with a smile, “Miss Magnolia, you don’t like that brat from the Greene family, do

Howard laughed heartily and said, “I don’t like that brat either. However, he’s Shawne’s good friend and the only person who has been able to get close to him all these years. I know you’re avoiding him, and I’ve arranged for a car to wait at the back door. You can leave directly from there.”
Margot looked at him gratefully. “Mr. Cole, thank you?
Howard waved his hand and said, “Not at all; it’s a small matter. I still need your assistance with Shawne’s condition.”
Margot smiled and said, Tll surely do my best!”
Getting into the car through the back door. Margot exhaled deeply and texted Maggie, “Was I awesome just now?
Maggie replied, “You’re doomed, surely you’re. He’s holding a grudge against you now.”
