Chapter 228 Mocking Your Lack of Intelligence

Eric looked over at Scott with an indifferent expression, his chilly vibe throwing off a pressure that made Scott feel uneasy. Scott fumbled over his words. “The girl didn’t know any better. We messed up this time. It was on us…

Apologising to Kate and Eric for Lana’s behaviour, he offered a remorseful bow.

With a clenched jaw, Lana admitted reluctantly, “Okay, my fault this time.”

Kate gave Scott and Lana a cold look, her voice frosty. This has nothing to do with me, and you shouldn’t be apologising to me, should you?“–

Lana tensed up, then said through gritted teeth, “I’ll say sorry to that guy.”

As she looked around for Kyle, Lana realised he had left the banquet hall already.

Kate’s tone dropped even colder. “Don’t bother. He likely doesn’t want to see you, and frankly, neither do 17

Scott took Lana by the arm, announcing, “We’re heading out!”

He firmly guided Lana away. At first, Lana was hesitant to follow, but sensing their cold demeanour towards Eric, she eventually complied:

As they were about to exit the Emperor Hotel, Eric’s frosty voice warned, “Consider this your final. warning.

Scott hurried out with Lana, stopping only when they were far away. He turned to Lana, furious. “You see the trouble you’ve caused?

“I had already settled the cooperation, and you messed it up again! Do you understand the meaning behind Eric’s words? He was warning us! He’s telling us this is the last time we’ll be in front of them! You and I will be done if there’s another incident!”

Scott sank, overwhelmed. “Why did I end up with a daughter like you!”

Lana felt unfairly targeted, saying, “How was I supposed to know he had ties to Kate? I wouldn’t have. messed with him if I had known.”

She had noticed Kyle by himself at the banquet, appearing to be from a small, overseas company. His look caught her eye, and she was interested in getting to know him better. But she got caught before she could make her move.

Scott berated Lana, “If you had been more careful, we wouldn’t be in this situation!”

The pair continued their heated argument on the deserted street, with Scott contemplating stern action against Lana while she felt grossly misunderstood.

After arguing for a while, they suddenly heard applause.

faint smile. “You two argue so confidently. Why didn’t you dare to make a sound in front of Kata and Eric?”

“Who might you be?” Scott asked, cautious.

Scott looked at the woman in the black evening dress with extreme vigilance. His eyes narrowed.

How much had this woman heard of their conversation just now!

The woman smiled and calmly introduced herself. “Let me introduce myself. I’m Abigail Martin, in charge of Alpha Corporation.”

Lana stared at Abigail and yelled, “What do you want with us? Weren’t you supposed to cooperate with Kate? Did that little brat Kate send you to track us?”

Upon hearing Lana’s question, Abigail chuckled.

“What are you laughing at?” Lana felt Abigail’s laughter was mocking and became even more dissatisfied.

Abigail looked at Lana coolly and mocked, “I’m laughing at your lack of intelligence.”
