“Can’t you just talk less!”

Seeing that Stanislaus Potter was in an awkward position to speak, Miguel Abbott simply opened his mouth and scolded, “Mind your own business and stop meddling in others’ affairs from now on!”

Zalman Michael was very capable. When the Moonlight Group was founded, Zalman Michael and Miguel Abbott struggled together to achieve today’s grand scale.

Later, after the Moonlight Group stabilized, Zalman Michael set up his own company, which was still supported financially by Miguel Abbott.

In their circle, everyone would call each other “sister-in-law” in private, and Zalman Michael really enjoyed this title, while Miguel Abbott turned a blind eye, pretending not to know.

So, with Zalman Michael talking at this time, it was really inconvenient for Stanislaus Potter to scold him.

“Boss Abbott, do you know what he said?”

Zalman Michael, having been rebuked by Miguel Abbott like this, clearly did not understand what was going on.

Usually, if someone insulted him, Miguel Abbott would definitely stand up for him. Yet now, with the person who insulted him right in front of him, Miguel Abbott remained silent!

“He said I’m your mistress!”

Zalman Michael cried out with a wronged expression, “I’ve worked hard to establish the Maxwell Davenport Group, only to be called your mistress. If this gets out, won’t both of our reputations be ruined?”

The affair between the two of them, like the emperor’s new clothes, was very clear in everyone’s mind, yet nobody would speak of it.

Because as soon as it was spoken, it would embarrass both parties, and the speaker would certainly face retribution.

Nobody was foolish enough to defy this taboo.

“You are indeed my mistress! Who in the Five-river Province doesn’t know that? Don’t play the whore and then expect to be thought a saint; did someone say even half a word wrong? You became a mistress, so why can’t you admit

Miguel Abbott pointed at Zalman Michael’s nose and said, “You truly disappoint me!”

All the people around the table were stunned as he uttered these words.

Quella Radcliffe sat at her seat, blinking, completely failing to understand what had just happened.

The situation had not developed as she had expected, not at all!

Dempsey Davenport was like a child listening to a story, afraid to miss a single word.

An affair like that of a mistress that cannot be presented upfront was spoken of by Miguel Abbott without a hint of shame.

“Mr. Abbott, you…”

Stanislaus Potter blinked and reminded him in a voice, “This is a public place!” Some matters, as long as they are not mentioned, are conveniently agreed to have never happened.

But now that Miguel Abbott had openly acknowledged their relationship, there would inevitably be much gossip in the Five-river Province, as people are apt to fear rumours, and who knows how the story might evolve.

“Mr. Abbott, what are you saying?”

Zalman Michael’s eyes widened, unable to believe what Miguel Abbott was saying.

“I’m saying that you are indeed my mistress, and they’ve merely spoken the truth. Is it worth reacting like this?”

Miguel Abbott was furious to the extreme. This foolish woman had offended Julius Reed; who knew if Julius Reed would take out his anger on him.

Just as the Moonlight Group was boarding the great ship and ready to overtake old families like the Leopold Family, this foolish woman, Zalman Michael, was actually jumping out trying to ruin it all.

“1…”

Zalman Michael was momentarily at a loss for words.

“Apologize right now!”

Miguel Abbott waved his hand, speaking very sternly, “They didn’t say anything wrong; you want to pin a charge on them? From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other. From now on, whatever happens to the Maxwell Davenport Group, I will not inquire, and all the capital from the Moonlight Group invested in it will be withdrawn by tomorrow!”

“Mr. Abbott, what are you saying?”

Zalman Michael’s eyes widened, not daring to believe these words had come from Miguel Abbott’s mouth.

Once he loses the protection of the Moonlight Group, other powers will certainly pounce and eat away at the market share of the Maxwell Davenport Group.

And once Miguel Abbott withdraws his investment, it would be a fatal blow to the Maxwell Davenport Group, which is currently expanding its business.

“What am I saying? Can’t you hear what I am saying?!”

Miguel Abbott pointed at Zalman Michael, shaking with anger, “You really are an idiot!”

“Oh! What is Boss Abbott saying here? Why are you so angry?”

At that moment, Maurice Yarrow strolled over leisurely, holding a wine glass.

On normal days, the relationship between them was considered decent, and everyone was clear about the relationship between Zalman Michael and Miguel Abbott.

If anyone could publicly declare that Zalman Michael was Miguel Abbott’s mistress, Maurice Yarrow would definitely be among them.

As Three Blade Group was the dominant force in Five-river Province, it was naturally invited to the banquet.

Seeing Miguel Abbott losing his temper from far away, Maurice went over to check what was going on.

“General Yarrow, Boss Abbott is scolding me!”

Zalman Michael began to cry plaintively.

Although she was Miguel Abbott’s mistress, there weren’t really any conflicts between them on a daily basis, and Miguel Abbott doted on her a lot, hardly ever losing his temper with her.

“Boss Abbott, what’s going on? What did Zalman do to get scolded like this by

Maurice Yarrow was also very curious about what was wrong with Miguel Abbott today.

“This stupid woman has offended Mr. Reed. You tell me, shouldn’t I scold her!” Miguel Abbott turned his head to look at Maurice Yarrow, sneering coldly. “What Mr. Reed, when have I ever insulted him?”

Zalman Michael cried with tear-stained cheeks, not caring about how she looked.

“Mr. Reed…”

Maurice Yarrow followed Miguel Abbott’s gaze and immediately noticed Julius Reed sitting at a nearby table.

“Mr. Reed, you’re here!”

He instinctively shivered, spilling the wine from his glass onto the ground.

“Well scolded, Boss Abbott! A wasteful woman, she shouldn’t be indulged!”

With Bridger Davenport’s warnings, Maurice Yarrow already seldom clashed with Julius Reed and would even avoid him from a distance.

Now that Zalman Michael had offended Julius Reed, he definitely wouldn’t take her side.

“Sure!”

Zalman Michael sneered, nodding and said, “You all side with Miguel Abbott, so what about Boss Potter? Just now, this brat claimed Richard is your illegitimate child!”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone’s expressions changed.

The mistress relationship between Miguel Abbott and Zalman Michael was known by many in Five-river Province.

But the relationship between Richard and Stanislaus Potter was almost unknown to anyone.

That was truly a secret!

“Shut your mouth, stop spouting nonsense!”

Smack!

Miguel Abbott walked over and slapped Zalman Michael across the face, “Have you lost your mind, saying such things?!”

“It was that young man who said it, why are you being fierce with me!”

Zalman Michael touched her swollen face, looking at Miguel Abbott with deep resentment, “You’re hitting me now?”

This was the first time Miguel Abbott had ever hit her during their long relationship.

“It’s nonsense, don’t take it to heart.”

Miguel Abbott didn’t pay attention to Zalman Michael but looked at Stanislaus Potter.

This kind of rumor was enough to ruin Stanislaus Potter’s reputation.

“Regarding this matter…”

Stanislaus Potter took a deep breath, somewhat troubled, “Mr. Reed didn’t lie, Richard indeed is my illegitimate child..”
