“You don't belong in this place.” Shawn said with a growl. Everything these people said really ruined the mood. Shawn wanted Rachel to feel happy tonight, but because of them Rachel was sullen and didn't get the cake she wanted.Instead of taking Shawn's words seriously, they laughed even more. To them, it was hilarious that a waiter would say something like that to a guest.Keith came forward and immediately looked at Shawn with a frivolous smile. “You know what, Shawn. If you want to say something, you should look in the mirror first. Who are you to say that we don't belong here? We should be the ones saying that!”Benjamin patted Shawn on the cheek. “Well, listen to that, lowlife. You don't deserve to be here. This is a gathering of influential people. Outcasts like you have no social place here.”Sellly, the only woman among them clucked her mouth while shaking her head. She smiled frivolously and her eyes looked at Shawn. “Hmm... I know very well how you feel, Shawn. You're so p
Rachel approached Shawn. “Are you okay, Shawn? They really humiliated you.”Rachel knew quite well how it felt to be humiliated in front of a crowd. Moreover, the four of them had even treated Shawn like a toy. They easily patted Shawn's face and spoke to him as if he wasn't someone worthwhile. Actually, this was also quite reminiscent of Rachel's treatment of Shawn in the past, she also looked down on Shawn at first. Until she found out that Shawn was very valuable to her life.Shawn's gaze was still glued to the fallen cake. He had deep thoughts about the cake. Rachel then grabbed Shawn's shoulder. “Shawn, did you see how they treated you? They've really gone too far. Shouldn't they be kicked out of this place?”Shawn shook his head. “What for?”Rachel wrinkled her forehead. “Don't you feel that they've insulted us to no end?”Shawn was silent for a moment. He was still thinking about what Selly had said, that Selly liked the fact that Shawn was Rachel's husband. So Rachel was very
“Shawn Hubert? Who is he?”“I've never heard of Shawn in the Hubert family. Who is Shawn?”“Is he Lord Darius' adopted grandson?”Many invitees asked that question. They were confused as to who exactly Shawn Hubert was. As far as they knew, Lord Darius had always been alone in handling everything. Why would he suddenly announce that there was a grandchild?Different reactions were given by people who knew the name Shawn Hubert. Especially those who had been in trouble with Shawn and Rachel.Taylor wrinkled her forehead. She then rubbed her ears a few times. “Did I hear wrong? Shawn Hubert?”Selly swallowed. “Shawn Hubert? Isn't that the name of Rachel's husband?”Selly looked at each other with Keith.Benjamin also glared when he heard the name. “Shawn Hubert? It's not what we think, right? Selly, Keith, Taylor. It's definitely not Shawn Hubert, Rachel's husband, right?”Suddenly, they immediately looked at Rachel. She was smiling broadly as she folded her arms across her chest. She l
“Darius Hubert introduces his heir. It turned out that he was his long-lost biological grandson, Shawn Hubert.” It was the headline that galvanized the entire city of Yihua. Even people who had been helped by Shawn or who had been in conflict with him were shocked by the news.“Oh! Turns out he's a rich man's son. No wonder he never came back here.” The girl from the barbeque shop who had been helped by Shawn smiled when she read the news. She was happy that Shawn finally had a better life. She had asked for Shawn's phone number, but didn't dare contact him first. After reading the news and finding out that he had a beautiful wife, she was even more determined not to have any contact with him. “Fate is cruel.”Gorz, the thug who used to be Shawn's man when Shawn lived in the flat, also read the news. He was overjoyed to find out that he had a famous boss.Shawn's college friends who used to bully him were different. They looked stressed when they found out that Shawn was the grandson
Rachel let out a long breath. She repeatedly held her forehead and looked lazily at her cell phone. “This is so inconvenient.”Shawn raised both eyebrows. “Sorry.”Rachel glanced at Shawn. “What are you apologizing for, Shawn?”Shawn was wearing the blue suit that Alex had prepared for him. While fastening the buttons of the suit, he looked at Rachel gently. “For keeping you busy today.”Rachel frowned and puffed up her cheeks. Shawn smiled slightly at that. Rachel looked cute when she did that. “What's been stressing you out since earlier?”Rachel then showed the screen of her smartphone. “Look, people have been contacting me since I woke up. They haven't stopped texting me.”Shawn nodded. “Oh, you're famous now, Rachel. Isn't that normal for someone who has a face like a model?”Shawn smiled with one eyebrow raised. Rachel, on the other hand, gave him a flat look with a pout on her lips. “Stop teasing me so early in the morning, Shawn! I'm not the subject here, but you are. Ever sin
Shawn walked into the room while Alex waited outside with a mysterious smile. He tried to act calm and sat at the chairman's table.From their gazes, Shawn could tell that many people had bad thoughts about him. In this first meeting, it was Shawn who showed up without a companion. For a core company meeting, this was risky. However, Shawn remained calm about it.Shawn put down his bag. “Good morning everyone. I am Shawn Hubert. I am the grandson of Darius Hubert. This time I will be chairing the meeting to discuss our company's plans for the next six months. I have prepared some materials--”“Are you the only one chairing this meeting?” a short, bald-headed man interrupted Shawn before he could even finish speaking. He was Mr. James, one of the important people in the DariuStar company.Sahwn nodded his head. “That's right. I will personally chair this meeting.”Mr. James clucked his mouth. “Aren't you Lord Darius' newly discovered grandson? Why are you holding this meeting right awa
“Oh, you realize that?” Mr. James raised his eyebrows with a smile. The way he sat also suddenly changed to become straighter. From his body gestures, he seemed to be excited about this.The other people immediately looked at Mr. James and smiled nodding to Mr. James. They saw a glimmer of hope from the person with the bowling ball head.Mr. Erik raised his hand. “I agree that Mr. James should lead the meeting. He has a lot of experience and is also quite intelligent. He will be very careful in handling the Dariustar Group. We all want the best, right?”Miss Teressa, a 30-something woman with long hair and thin lips also raised her hand. “I think it's a good choice to have Mr. James preside over this meeting. He is a competent decision-maker. There are a lot of important things he can master and can eventually become the solution to the company's problems.”The other directors also raised their hands and gave their reasons for making Mr. James the meeting leader. By count, there were
“This-” Miss Teressa gulped to herself upon hearing that. She looked at the other directors. It turned out that they were looking at her with the same gaze.Most of them had become tense with Shawn's previous words. They were beginning to feel that Shawn had some scary thoughts. He didn't even hold back when he said that.Mr. James was getting restless. In his mind he was constantly haunted. “She seriously said that? Who does she think she is?”He turned to Mr. Erik. The big man also opened his eyes wide in agitation. He unconsciously broke out in cold sweat from his forehead.Mr. James stood up. “You can't do that, Young Master! Just because you're the grandson of the company's founder, you can't decide such things on your own. That's why we have board meetings. If you want to do something like that, you don't respect us at all!”Mr. Erik also stood up. “I think Mr. James is right. We are gathered in this room to discuss the progress of the DariuStar Group companies. If you do someth
