Chapter 229

Guests passing by paused to watch, but not a single person stepped forward to help the elderly man. Even those who had just seen the socialite bump into him. didn't say a word. The old man's face tumed red from the scolding, but he still apologized. "I'm very sony, miss. If your dress is damaged, 1..."

"This woman is disgusting." Liam frowned as he observed the commotion

I glanced at him and then stepped closer to the old man, smiling at him "Sir, don't worry about it."

Then I tamed to the socialite, pointed upward, and said, "There are surveillance cameras here. Should we check them to see who was being careless?"

The socialite looked at me in surprise. "Who are you?"

"Who I am isn't important; what matters is checking the footage 1 signaled to Liam.

Liam's eyes fuckered with surprise, but he quickly caught on and called over a waiter. "Get your manager."

That was my partner-always ready to cooperate. I winked at Liam, and he grinned back at me.

I tumed to the socialite, noticing her expression shift, her face changing colors like a spilled paint palette, clearly showing her guilt.

So, are you going to apologize? Or should we wait for the footage to come up and let everyone see how you bumped into the old man and then played the victim?"

I tooka step closer, lowering my voice, "If it comes to that, you won't just be embarrassed in front of these people."

The socialite's gaze flickered, and after a moment, she shot me a fierce look, glanced at the old man, and stubbornly muttered an apology before walking off. Once she was gone, Liam said, "It's all good now. Everyone can disperse." The crowd started to leave,

I turned back to the elderly man and looked him up and down. "Sir, are you okay?"

He looked at me and smiled gently. "I'm fine, really. I owe you one for today."

"It's just the right thing to do," I replied

As I spoke, Liam waved off the manager, who had arrived late. He then walked over and nodded at me, turning to the old man. "Sir, are you also here for the banquet? Why are you carrying a pot of flowers?

"A trend asked for it, so I brought it along," the elderly man replied, adjusting the flowers as he checked the time.

He let out a sott "oh", then smiled apologetically at me and Liam "I need to head inside; if I'm late, I'll get scolded. I'll thank you both in

"Sure, sir. Go ahead." I stepped aside to let him pass, gesturing for him to go ahead.

He gave me a warm smile and hurried off with the flower pot. As soon as he left, I entered the venue with Liam, who kept glancing at me.

I hadn't intended to acknowledge him, but his curiosity was practically spilling over. I turned my head. "If you have a question, just ask." "Well, not really," Liam said, but the curiosity in his eyes only intensified.

He leaned closer, lowering his voice as he asked, "I'm just curious why you helped that old man when you didn't even know him. Could eyebrows suggestively.

I shot him a glare, turning my head away in disdain.

"Isn't it obvious? You'll replace out soon enough."

As I spoke, 1 could feel a wave of excitement radiating from him. It seemed he thought the old man might be someone influential.
