As soon as I entered the private room, my eyes met with a tall, handsome man with a cold and stern look.
I recognized him immediately; it was Vincent.
I didn't expect that after not seeing him for more than ten years, the melancholy and quiet little boy back then has grown so tall, exuding the domineering and sharp aura of a superior.
But I have been working in the organization for so many years and have seen all kinds of scenes. I just nodded slightly at him.
Before it was my turn to speak, Isabella squeezed in from behind me and hung on Vincent in front of everyone.
"Wow, Mr. Rossi, look, it was this perverted psychopath who threw me out of the car. My forehead is broken and I look so ugly with the medical bandage on it!"
"She even said shamelessly that she would also come to attend the welcoming party you held for the big shot. I just happened to take her car here. You must vent your anger for me!"
Vincent frowned, pulled Isabella off his body and comforted her aside.
Unexpectedly, Isabella still refused to give in. She pointed her finger at my nose and shouted coldly with gritted teeth.
"You country bumpkin from out of town, didn't you say you were here to attend Mr. Rossi's welcoming party? Now you're exposed, right? Does anyone in this room recognize you?"
"Mr. Rossi is right here. If you know what's best for you, kneel down and apologize in front of him. Maybe Mr. Rossi will spare your life because he has to entertain important people today! Do you hear me? Kneel down now!"
I watched Isabella's performance quietly with a cold face and didn't move. Isabella became even more arrogant and roared loudly at everyone present.
"What are you guys standing there for? Mr. Rossi is a noble man, it's inconvenient for him to talk about such a small matter. You subordinates and bodyguards don't know who I am?!"
"Press this damn liar from outside the city to the ground. If I can't vent my anger today, none of you will have a good life in the future!"
After Isabella said this, I saw several subordinates and bodyguards following Vincent start to move.
A man who looked like an executive looked me up and down and then spoke.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you take advantage of the situation and come to the welcoming banquet that Vincent prepared for an important person to cause trouble, and even dare to provoke our Isabella? Do what Isabella says, or you will not be able to leave alive today!"
A bodyguard at the side also approached me aggressively.
"Did you hear me? Kneel down and beg for forgiveness, Isabella, or you will regret it!"
When all this happened, I didn't even look at these people's faces. I just kept looking at Vincent quietly.
I wanted to see what he wanted to do by being so indulgent with the dogs around him? Was he trying to dampen my prestige as a newcomer?
"So...Mr. Rossi, you're going to make me kneel down in front of your secretary too?"
There was a hint of amusement in my tone, and I just smiled at Vincent and spoke.
Vincent finally raised his eyebrows, gestured to Isabella and his subordinates beside him, and then he opened his mouth slightly and spoke.
"How dare you? Just call me Vincent. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, my subordinates. Please take a seat."
Isabella at the side was shocked and looked at me in disbelief. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
But the next second, what Vincent said also made me drop my jaw.
"Alina, I don't want to hide it from you. In fact, it was not my idea to bring up the alliance between the two families. It was my grandfather's idea."
"Times have changed. I didn't like you when I was a child, and I still don't like you now. As you can see, I have Isabella, so I might as well tell you clearly before the elders of both sides arrive."
