Aaron Winchester : Back To Throne

Chapter 6

People who heard about it started speculating about it. "Apparently, they do have a relationship. That guy is definitely not a random guy."

 

"Yes, he must also come from a respectable family. No wonder Lord Thane respects him" said another guest. They were talking with admiration. How could they not? The couple looked good together.

 

However, it made Zara feel annoyed. She glared at Violet with her hands folded arrogantly. Zara looked at Violet sarcastically. "You should have found out about that guy first. He's nothing more than a useless man."

 

Elegantly, Violet replied to Zara's words. "What do you mean? which guy are you talking about? I don't find any flaws in Aaron." Violet looked at Aaron with eyes that searched every inch of the man's face. "He's handsome, charismatic, reliable, and just plain awesome."

 

The people there exclaimed in admiration. "If Miss Violet says so, it must be true. It's not strange that Miss Violet is side by side with him. They are indeed a perfect match."

 

They all whispered to each other in admiration of Aaron and Violet, although there were still some people who wondered which family Aaron was from since they had never met or seen him before.

 

Jhony smiled sarcastically at the compliments from the people who seemed to look in awe of Aaron. He strolled with both hands stuffed into his pants pockets, showing an arrogant attitude. "Just so you know, all those compliments are not true. I know Aaron very well."

 

Jhony's voice silenced the mouths of those who were curious about Aaron. They were all waiting for Jhony's next words. Jhony felt this was the perfect opportunity to humiliate Aaron in front of Mr. Thane and everyone else. "He's the man who made off with 500 dollars of my mother-in-law's money."

 

Everyone's eyes widened. They exclaimed in shock at that. "Is that really so? Oh, my goodness. Is that guy an imposter?"

 

"How could Miss Violet have such a partner? What a shame." They were all whispering to each other about Aaron. The look in their eyes intimidated Aaron.

 

Mr. Thane was furious at Jhony's words. "Watch your language, Jhony." His voice was so loud that it silenced the guests. He glared at Jhony with a piercing look in his eyes. "You have no right to talk like that here. You should be careful how you speak."

 

Jhony took one look at Mr. Thane's face, then bowed his head in doubt. Everyone else looked at Jhony strangely. They all knew very well that the Smith family had a partnership with the Wood family. However, the atmosphere of tension was palpable.

 

"Is what he said true? Seriously, $500 is very small, and it doesn't make sense for him to run off with Miss Violet's money," the guests whispered after thinking about Jhony's words.

 

Several people nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's right. That seems very unlikely because Miss Violet is wealthy. If that man had any intention of cheating, he would have cheated with a huge sum of money."

Mr. Thane strolled with his eyes on Jhony. "After thinking about it for a while, Jhony Smith doesn't seem to fit in with the Wood family business."

 

Jhony raised his head to stare at Mr. Thane with a furrowed brow. "What do you mean?"

 

The 70-year-old man's footsteps stopped when he was level with Jhony. "I don't like working with the Smith family, who are clown-like, shameless, speak out of turn in front of everyone, and unprofessional. And what I dislike the most, the Smith family's performance is not as good as I expected."

 

Everyone who heard that laughed at Jhony and started mocking in a low voice. "Who would have guessed that the Smith family would be like that."

 

"How embarrassing." They whispered with a low laugh that made Jhony immediately look down in shame at this humiliation.

 

Zara cast her eyes around, watching the faces of the people there carefully. She felt the same discomfort that Jhony felt. They were currently being humiliated in front of many people. Something they had never expected.

 

Rozie nudged Zara's arm while whispering. "Zara, are we going to stay here getting this humiliating humiliation? Come on, let's go home."

 

Zara hesitated. She looked over at Jhony, who was frozen in place. Zara brought her face close to Jhony's arm, calling out in a low tone of voice. "Jhony!"

 

Zara tried calling Jhony back in a louder voice several times, but Jhony ignored her because he was focused on thinking about Thane's words. His hands trembled at the thought of Mr. Thane revoking the partnership between them that had just begun. He was genuinely afraid of losing a partnership that could be profitable for him.

 

Jhony shook his head with a pitiable face, raising both hands in front of his chest, pleading with Mr. Thane. "No, sir. I am not as you say. Please forgive me for speaking out of turn and ruining your party."

 

Mr. Thane stepped away slightly, turning his back on Jhony with his hands crossed behind his waist. "You should apologize to Mr. Aaron for your insolence. Otherwise, our cooperation is canceled."

 

Jhony was stunned. He felt even more annoyed with Aaron. Why did he have to apologize to the man in front of everyone? This had tarnished his pride. He looked at Aaron hatefully. "Why should I apologize to him? I'm not going to apologize to him. Just because of an unknown person, a cooperation worth tens of millions of dollars has failed."

 

"Shut up!" pointed Mr. Thane lowly at Jhony. "You should have kept your mouth shut earlier. Don't you know that the most honored guest here is Mr. Aaron? And I want you out of here immediately!"

 

Mr. Thane glanced at his assistant near the stage, then gave the code with a glance at Jhony and the two women. Mr. Thane's assistant nodded and ordered the bodyguards and guards in the building to come over the earpiece.

 

Jhony shook his head. She faced Mr. Thane in a panic. "No, sir. Please don't kick us out."

 

In a matter of seconds, the guards and bodyguards immediately ran to Jhony and dragged him, Rozie, and Zara away. "Come on, let's get out of here!"

 

They shouted, trying to break free from the restraints of the guards and bodyguards. "Let go! My hands hurt!" Zara winced in pain, clutching the security guard's hand that was holding her wrist.

 

"Jhony, do something!" Rozie shouted. She was already exerting her strength to break free, but the guards were dragging them firmly.

 

"Mr. Thane, please stop these guards." Jhony pleaded, staring at Mr. Thane in disbelief that the old man could humiliate him like this. "You have really gone too far, Mr. Thane. You can't do this to me."

The security guards rushed them out of the party room, causing a commotion that made all the guests turn to them and then refocus their attention on Mr. Thane.

 

Mr. Thane turned his body around, facing the guests, who seemed tense about the incident. His eyes looked at them with a serious face. "If there is one more person who disrespects this honorable Mr. Aaron, I will not hesitate to expel you from here in the same disrespectful manner as them and remove all cooperation with the Wood family company."

 

Everyone immediately fell silent, listening to Mr. Thane's words because they were all afraid of that. Violet was smiling beside Aaron because, with this, she had helped Aaron take a step towards getting revenge on Zara and Jhony.
