Chapter 1451: I Beseech You To Be Kind

Everyone parted to make a path for Gloria. Wearing a blue evening gown, Gloria was still as beautiful as ever tonight.

The guards halted in their steps. They looked at Gloria and then at Cyril before retreating to their original position.

Cyril watched Gloria come over with furrowed brows. He knew Mag and Gloria were connected. He wanted to embarrass them before Gloria came so Gloria would be embarrassed as well. He didn’t expect she would arrive so early.

The guests were also looking at Gloria. Everyone knew the main characters of tonight’s year-end celebration were Gloria and Cyril. The fight to be the heir of the Moreton Family between these two was already in the heated stage, and the result might be known tonight.

And, the show seemed to be starting right now.

Gloria came over to Mag, and nodded to him apologetically before saying to Cyril, “Uncle Cyril, Mr. Mag and everyone from the restaurant are guests that I invited. Please do not use the term ‘thief’ to describe them. This will make you look unreasonable and arrogant.”

The guests showed hints of enlightenment. So this mister was invited by Miss Gloria. In that case, it could be explained why Cyril targeted them.

“Ha. I am unreasonable and arrogant? I think these several so-called guests of yours are the arrogant ones. They even dared to assault Vice President Harvey’s son, Roy.” Cyril smirked at Gloria, and aggressively said, “Gloria, as one of its board members, don’t you know the Chamber of Commerce’s rules on the banquet? Didn’t you do a background check on them before you invited them? I think you are not up to standard as a board member.”

After the guests heard that, they began to look at Gloria with thoughtful judgement. Although Scheer had already proven that being young and being female didn’t mean that she didn’t have the capabilities, compared to Scheer who had shown immense talents ever since young, this Miss Gloria, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, seemed to be rather inadequate in the area of capabilities.

According to rumors, a board member meeting would be called on today’s year-end celebration. Cyril had already formally requested to initiate a vote to depose Gloria as a board member, and the board had agreed.

The current situation made some neutral board members start to judge Gloria seriously.

Most of the board members didn’t know this young mistress, who’d suddenly appeared to fight with Cyril for the position of the Moreton Family’s heir, very well. They only knew that she had set up a rather profitable clothing store recently.

However, earnings of millions were nothing to them. It still wasn’t enough to prove that she had the ability to be the Chamber of Commerce’s board member and the heir of the Moreton Family.

“Mr. Mag is the boss and chef of Mamy Restaurant. He has once received the honor of being titled the best chef at the king of Roth Empire’s court banquet, and raised the status of Chaos City’s culinary scene among the cities of this world single-handedly. He persists in providing free breakfast for the cleaners every morning and spends a huge amount of funds to sponsor the poor children to go school. Is there a problem with such a kind and chivalrous man’s character?” Gloria’s gaze landed on Roy, who was still sitting on the floor, and she said in a loud voice, “As for Vice President Harvey’s son Roy’s character and reputation, I think everyone present has heard about them before. If the year-end celebration had a criterion for character before one is allowed to enter, the first person who couldn’t enter has to be him, right?”

“Y-you are sprouting nonsense!” Roy shouted at Gloria furiously.

“I heard a few days ago that someone was galloping on his horse within the city. He knocked over a pregnant lady and caused her to miscarry. He later compensated her with a huge amount of money, and even threatened her before this matter was covered up and not escalated to the Gray Temple,” Gloria said, looking at Roy.

“Something like that happened?”

All the guests appeared to be shocked. There was a rule that forbade riders from galloping on horses’ backs within the city. Furthermore, knocking over a pregnant lady and causing her to miscarry was a serious crime. Even though Gloria didn’t say out the name, could this matter be related to Roy?

“Hmm?” Mag, who hadn’t said a word ever since Gloria appeared, was looking at her with astonishment. This girl came well-prepared.

“This…” Cyril went white too as he looked at Harvey and his son with uncertainty. He had never heard about that incident before.

Roy paled as he haltingly tried to explain, “S-she was jaywalking on the street. That’s why I…”

“Shut up!” Harvey slapped him across his face. He even wished he could slap him all the way back to his mother’s womb. He could have denied it completely, yet he had admitted it. Harvey looked at Gloria with his face flushing and paling in turns. He had settled this matter very secretively, so how did she find out about this?

“Seems like the rumor is true. That pregnant lady who was about to give birth was knocked down by you! Galloping in a busy city and causing the death of a child who was about to be born, yet you’re not in the least remorseful, and even tried to malign the poor mother. You pretend nothing happened and came to attend the banquet. Moreover, you even harassed an underaged girl publicly, and then accused the other party when she resisted. Have you no shame at all?” Gloria was asking Roy in an agitated and indignant voice.

Roy hid behind Harvey instinctively with a shifty expression as he avoided Gloria’s gaze.

“He’s a f*cking scum!”

“What a poor child, what a poor mother. This is no different from murder!”

“One can indeed do whatever he pleases when he has money. He can even hide such a horrible crime.”

The guests started to look at Roy with anger and disdain. Their emotions instantly switched over.

Gloria turned to gravely speak to Cyril who had a dark expression. “Uncle Cyril, you were defending a baby-killer and a maiden-molester by twisting the facts around in an attempt to paint the aggressor as the victim. Is this what you should have done as the Chamber of Commerce’s board member? How could you, a father of two girls, have uttered those words earlier?

“I respect you as my elder, but I beseech you to be kind.”

“I…” Cyril opened his mouth in an attempt to defend himself, but his mind was in a complete mess now. He had no idea how to handle this totally unexpected change of events.

The guests were also looking at Cyril with disgust and repulsion. Cyril was obviously on Roy’s side. Birds of a feather flocked together. He wasn’t a good man, either.

A few elderly board members were shaking their heads at Cyril, and they were looking at Gloria with an increasingly appreciative gaze.

Seems like I don’t need to worry about this girl at all. In time, it’s completely possible for her to vie with Scheer on equal footing. Mag, too, was looking at Gloria with approval, and he began to change his mind about weaving and textile factories. Gloria might be a more compatible partner.
