As everyone cast disgusted glances at his stained appearance, he lifted his head to meet their eyes."Why did you do that?" He inquired calmly, though his anger simmered beneath the surface.The person who had caused the red wine to spill on him was dressed in a standard white and black uniform, typically worn by the waitstaff. Nolan immediately recognized them as an employee.The waiter stuttered nervously, realizing the gravity of the situation. He could only recall passing by with a tray of wine when someone bumped into him, causing his hands to slip and the wine to spill.Struggling to regain his composure, the waiter managed to speak. "Sir… I-I didn't do it on purpose. Someone bumped into me, causing my hand to slip and the wine to spill onto you.”He quickly gave out a hurried explanation. His face was etched with anxiety, afterall he was nothing but a nobody waiter here, and such an incident can result in him losing his job.Nolan glances at his already teary eyes, making his h

Nolan felt he'd heard a silly joke. He glanced at Mr Williams, as he spoke. “Repercussions? And what could my offense be?”Mr Williams didn't expect Nolan to still show arrogance, even with the impending consequences he just called out. “Fellow, do you think I'm joking or what?” He seriously doesn't understand what to call Nolan behavior. Even if he didn't intend to ask, provocation made him unable to restrain his curiosity.Nolan indifferently glanced at him. “Did I state you were joking? I know you're not joking but that doesn't mean that I don't see your words as nothing but a joke to me.” He smugly said.“You bastard!” Mr Williams bellowed. “You'll be punished for slapping me. I really want to see if you have guts after being punished!” He yelled, obviously looking furious.Nolan remained calm. It felt as though he wasn't being spoken to. Mr Williams was further infuriated by Nolan indifference and calm expression. “Does he think I'm invisible?!”Without wanting to waste his tim

As their stares bore into Nolan, their mocking expressions were plain to see.Nolan merely rolled his eyes, brushing off their reactions and words.Amidst the scrutiny of the crowd, he turned to Mr. Williams. "What if I were to mention I don't have an invitation card on me right now?"His tone remained calm and unruffled. He paid little attention to the expressions on everyone's faces upon hearing his statement.Mr. Williams erupted into laughter, casting a quick glance over Nolan. "You're quite a character, aren't you? First, you claim to have been invited, and now you're suggesting you might not have an invitation card. You're truly amusing, you know?”Nolan got the sarcastic meaning in Mr Williams last words, however he was too lazy to dwell over it.“You don't need to think much. Since I said I was rightfully granted entrance into this hall, then that's it. You need not concern yourself with me.” Nolan curtly, spoke.Mr Williams scoffed. “Well, the bodyguards will surely deal with

Mr Williams' condition only got worse with the sympathy from the crowd. He never imagined that those who feared him would be showing him sympathy. Due to his wealth and position in high society, he has always given false sympathy to the poor masses. So how could he who sees sympathy as a way of mocking people be calm and accept being sympathized?One of the haters among the crowd saw this situation as an opportunity. The hater moved forward and feigned a concerned voice. “Hey, what's this? Why does Mr Williams suddenly look pale? Is he sick?When everyone heard the loud concerned voice, they looked at Mr Williams immediately.“Yes, yes, his face seems pale. He doesn't look well.”“But why is it like that? He looks perfectly fine before?”Some confused and unaware people thought Mr Williams' pale face was because he was sick. However, among the ignorant ones, they were always the sharp-eyed ones. They quickly noticed the cause of Mr Williams' pale and sweaty face.“Ah, Mr Williams,

When the individual on the stage, saw Nolan stunned expression, he spoke again. “Let's welcome the heir of the YEX conglomerate for a brief overview.” Everyone eyes were on Nolan. They were totally lost. One of the crowd found courage, before asking aloud. “Excuse me? But why are you looking at him? Is he the heir?” They could all see the individual on stage glancing at Nolan, so their suspicion couldn't be wrong. However, how could Nolan be the mysterious heir that have been curious about?Nolan coughed slightly to recover his stunned face. He ignored the the curious gazes of the crowd and walked to the stage.While moving forward to the stage, many gazes followed him. Some of their gazes were complex, some held curiosity and perplexity. Nolan footsteps never wavered with the stares. Right under the crowds gazes, he stood on the stage with a calm expression. “Hello everyone.” He greeted, with a clear and composed expression.Elijah who was standing not to far from the stage, move
