The conference room of Sothebyâs immediately fell silent.
Almost everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over.
Even Adelaide Liborao, who had been acting arrogant just now, stood up from the main seat and bowed to greet him. âFather, why are you here?â
Earl Adelaide snorted and turned to the crowd.
After looking around the crowd, he looked at the only two Chinese people present, Ye Feng and Cheng Feiâer. âMay I ask if you are Mr. Ye and Mr. Yeâs assistant?â
When Cheng Feiâer heard this, she was still a little stunned and could not react in time.
Ye Feng instantly understood that Earl Adelaide was probably the solution that Anjou Prince had thought of for him.
He immediately took a step forward and smiled. âGreetings, Earl Adelaide, I am Ye Feng, Princeâs good friend.â
Earl Adelaide hurried over to him.
Then, he held his hands tightly and said apologetically, âMr. Ye, Iâm really sorry for letting you see the not-so-beautiful side of the Sun Never Sets Empire.â
âIâve already heard from Miss Prince what happened.â
âPlease rest assured that I will give you a satisfactory explanation and also give a perfect explanation to the rich people from all over the world who have suffered unfair treatment!â
Ye Feng returned a smile, he did not rush to reply.
However, Earl Adelaide did not seem to care about his reaction at all. After shaking his hand heavily, he suddenly turned around and slapped Adelaide Liborao, who was confused and stunned.
âBastard!â
âDo you think that I havenât cleaned up your mess enough? Do you want me to embarrass myself in front of Her Majesty and all the nobles of the Empire?â
Adelaide Liborao should still be confused.
After being slapped so hard by his father that his head turned violently, he still had an aggrieved expression on his face. âFather, I didnât do anythingâ¦â
Earl Adelaide was getting more and more annoyed. He could not help but give him another hard slap. âDid you grow a head just to make yourself look taller?â
âWhat did you do just now? Have you forgotten it so quickly?â
âDo you think itâs a small matter that you deliberately make things difficult for the rich people from all over the world who want to contribute to the charity of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets?â
Adelaide Liborao seemed to understand why his father was angry. He said in a low voice, âFather, this shouldnât be a big deal, right?â
âTheyâre just some capitalists from those stinky countries.â
âThey donât have much of a foundation in the Sun Never Sets Empire.â
âEven if I were to block them in some vague places, they wouldnât be able to do anything to us.â
ââ¦â
Earl Adelaideâs blood pressure almost shot up. He pointed at Adelaide Liborao and his body trembled uncontrollably. âI just thought that you were a little crazy because of your failed marriages.â
âBut today, I can finally tell that youâre not crazy at all. Youâve completely fed your brain to the dogs!â
âHave you considered the original intention of this annual charity auction? It was to enrich the already depleted treasury of the Empire! In other words, itâs to enrich Her Majestyâs purse!â
âThe rich people who are attracted by the annual charity auction of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets are all important clients to Her Majesty!â
âIf you make things difficult for these customers now, perhaps they really canât do anything to you at the moment. Even if they complain, they wonât be able to affect you at all. But have you thought about what would happen if this matter were to reach the Queenâs ears?â
ââ¦â Adelaide Liborao began to panic.
He didnât think too much about it before.
It was just that he had been scammed and sucked dry by foreign women several times in a row, and he had developed a form of PDSD towards foreigners! Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to vent his anger.
However, now that his father had pointed out the crux of the problem, he realized that he had stirred up too much trouble this time.
He was making things difficult for Her Majestyâs clients and affecting Her Majestyâs ability to make money.
If this matter were to reach the Queenâs ears, he would be dead!
Not only him but the entire Adelaide family would be implicated!
It was no wonder that Earl Adelaide, his father, would come personally to deal with it.
Adelaide Liboraoâs legs turned to jelly, and his voice was trembling. âF-Father, I didnât think of this before!â
âWhat, what should I do now!â
âI definitely have no intention of interfering with Her Majestyâs money-makingâ¦â
Earl Adelaide gave him another slap and said resentfully, âWhatâs the use of telling me this?!â
âCan I forgive you on behalf of Her Majestyâs client? Can I resolve the dissatisfaction of Her Majestyâs client on behalf of you?â
âYou canât even find the right direction to apologize?!â
The meaning of these words could be said to be quite heavy.
No matter how stupid Adelaide Liborao was, he understood what his father meant.
He did not bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, nor did he bother to wipe his swollen face after being slapped by his father. He hurriedly turned to look at Ye Feng and Cheng Feiâer. âMr. Ye, Iâm really sorry!â
âI was stupid just now! Please donât mind me!â
âThereâs no need to prove that thereâs no evidence of a crime or proof of the source of the property!â
âAs long as your assets reach the threshold to participate in our Empireâs annual charity auction, you can receive an invitation to the auction.â
Cheng Feiâer had not regained her senses, she looked at Ye Feng and Adelaide Liborao with a dazed expression.
Ye Feng smiled, he said calmly, âIâm still in the queue, itâs not my turn to start the verification yet.â
âIf Mr. Adelaide Liborao wants to apologize, he should first apologize to the rich people who have gone through the capital verification process.â
âYes, yes, yes, youâre right!â Adelaide Liborao was so obedient that he seemed to have been bewitched, after nodding and bowing at Ye Feng, he turned to the rich people present. âEveryone, I am really sorry!â
âI was stupid before!â
âIâm willing to be punished!â
âPlease forgive me, everyone!â
ââ¦â
