Chapter 5

A trace of panic flashed in Mark's eyes. Then he said hurriedly, "I was just joking. Mr. Derp wouldn't be so stingy, right? We are all men..."

Before he finished speaking, I suddenly poured all the red wine in my hand on his face.

"Let's just assume that what you said is true. Mr. Spencer must be drinking at the cocktail party today, right? Then Mr. Spencer, drink more." I snapped him calmly.

Red wine splashed all over Mark's head and face. The bright red wine dripped down his hair and kept flowing down his suit. Compared to me who was dressed properly, he looked very embarrassed now.

He stared at me intently, his eyes seemed to be poisoned. "Mr. Derp, the husband of Mrs. Montana of Montana Group, is this how you treat others? Even if I said something wrong, Mr. Derp doesn't have to embarrass me like this, right?"

Before I could say anything, Julie pulled me over and protected me behind her.

"My husband does whatever he wants. I, Julie, support him. Who dares to say a word more?" She spoke bravely and loud.

She turned to Mark and asked him, "As for you? Who are you? How dare you question my husband?"

Mark was stunned. It seemed that he didn't expect Julie to be so ruthless to him and Julie looked away.

"Mr. Spencer, I won't see you off."

Hearing Julie's order to leave, Mark glared at me angrily and turned to leave the banquet hall. Mark was really stupid. How could Julie stand on his side when he picked a fight with me in such an occasion?

After all, I was the legitimate husband of her.

Julie looked at me with concern and was about to ask something when the phone rang. She had just left to answer the phone when my message rang.

[Do you really think you won? Guess, will she choose you or me this time?]

I took my eyes off the phone screen and saw Julie hurried back to me.

"Jhonny, there is a multinational meeting. I will go to the car to deal with it and will be back soon."

My heart sank and I smiled and nodded.

As soon as Julie left, the message came again, this time with only 3 short words.

[Underground parking lot.]

At the same time, my sister's phone also came in.

"Jhonny, the plane has arrived, let's go."

After hanging up the phone, I looked at the words on the phone screen and walked to the underground parking lot. I had to leave, of course, but I had to give Julie and Mark a big gift. I also had to give it.
