Chapter 2467: Chapter 2471

Scarlet’s face darkened with discomfort.

She quickly extricated herself from Thiago’s grasp and stood up abruptly.

“Excuse me, I need to use the restroom,” she said hurriedly, feeling overwhelmed.

Bowen had gone too far, pushing her into Thiago’s arms like that.

She couldn’t bear the humiliation and just wanted to escape immediately.

“Stop!” Bowen shouted, glancing at her sternly.

“Scarlet, Mr.

Blake is an esteemed guest I’ve invited today.

We can’t keep him waiting.

Have a drink with him before you go,” he added, a hint of warning in his tone.

Scarlet pursed her lips, her embarrassment evident.

Thiago chuckled lightly and interjected, “Take your time, Miss Fernandez.

Mr.

Happer, women always have many matters to attend to, so we should be gentle and understanding.

“Mr.

Blake, you certainly know how to treat women well.

Unlike me, I’m a bit rough around the edges,” Bowen admitted with a Laugh.

He then turned to Scarlet and continued, “Scarlet, as my future wife, you’ll often be called upon to attend to my guests.

If you feel you’re not up to the task, I won’t press you.

I’ll arrange for someone else to accompany Mr.

Blake.

You can return home and explain the situation to your father.

I will then discuss our engagement with your father.

”

Bowen’s words altered Scarlet’s expression.

He was subtly warning her that if she failed to please Thiago today, the engagement between their families could be dissolved.

This engagement was crucial for Scarlet; she couldn’t afford to see it end.

Otherwise, her father would be furious with her.

Her father was counting on this engagement to secure a share of the profits once she helped Bowen secure the deal.

Furthermore, this deal was originally with the Hughes Group in Wragos.

With Brian’s recent accident, they finally saw an opportunity.

Recalling her previous humiliation by Rosalynn at a shopping mall in Skrix, Scarlet clenched her fingers tightly.

Taking this deal from the Hughes Group would also serve as her revenge against Rosalynn.

After considering all the factors, Scarlet’s mood lightened, and she smiled once more.

“Bowen, you’re right.

Mr.

Blake is our most esteemed guest.

My own concerns are trivial in comparison.

I should attend to him properly.

”

Seeing her acquiescence, Bowen’s face broke into a satisfied grin.

He then passed a glass of wine to Scarlet.

Scarlet accepted the glass and said, “Mr.

Blake, may I propose another toast to you?”

Her charming tone delighted Thiago.

Just as he was about to speak, Bowen interjected, “Scarlet, you made a mistake earlier.

Aren’t you going to offer Mr.

Blake a proper apology?”
