Sarah Anderson looked at Elizabeth Wright coldly, her face filled with frostiness.
“I…” Elizabeth Wright’s eyes widened, ready to speak.
Fortunately, Randy Phillips quickly covered her mouth, then trembled, “Miss Anderson, she…she isn’t qualified enough to be on stage, don’t joke about…”
Sarah Anderson huffed, saying: “If she continues to be disrespectful, she should consider the consequences.”
After dropping this sentence, Sarah Anderson ignored Randy Phillips.
“Ah, isn’t this just toying with us?
If she didn’t choose us, why did she shine the light on us.” Elizabeth muttered.
“Shut up!” Randy Phillips couldn’t hold back and shouted!
At this moment, the more he looked at Elizabeth Wright, the more annoyed he became!
“No, the opportunity that our Phillips Family worked so hard to get cannot be ruined!” Randy Phillips screamed in his heart.
His mind was spinning rapidly, looking for a solution to save the situation.
By this time Sarah Anderson had pulled me down from the stage directly to the frontmost table.
Everyone at the table held prestigious identities, aside from Crestview City’s honored citizens, no one else could sit here.
Facing such a group of influential figures, it would be impossible not to be nervous.
However, I had figured it out, having been a coward for most of my life, I was not going to be that person anymore!
Furthermore, I had long harbored feelings for Sarah Anderson.
If I continued to remain fearful, how could I be qualified to be with Sarah Anderson?
We walked straight to the table and sat down.
A smile was on Sarah Anderson’s face, completely composed.
I also tried to appear as natural as possible.
After we sat down, everyone’s eyes turned to me, their doubts visible in their eyes.
“Sarah, who exactly is this young man?
Why have I never heard of him?” Finally, a middle-aged man in a suit ventured a question.
Sarah Anderson laughed, and said, “Uncle Larkspur, would you believe me if I said he’s the rising star of tomorrow?”
Uncle Larkspur laughed heartily: “In other words, he truly has nothing to his name at the moment?”
Sarah Anderson kept quiet for a moment, then responded, “If you’re talking about wealth and status, Tyler Thomas truly has nothing.”
“But…when it comes to talent and inner abilities, I think he could rival a nation.”
The words made me blush, my heart pounding.
But to others, it sounded somewhat laughable.
Talent and inner abilities?
In this era, who values talent and internal abilities?
Only money and power can earn others’ respect!
Uncle Larkspur seemed to intentionally make things difficult for me.
He examined me, then asked, “Young man, Sarah gave you such a high appraisal.
I wonder, what talent do you possess?”
I carefully observed Uncle Larkspur, then furrowed my brows, “Uncle Larkspur, have you been feeling uncomfortable recently?
Such as…angina, or any discomfort in your heart…”
At my words, Mr.
Larkspur immediately burst out laughing, “By your tone, are you a doctor?”
“You could say that.” I replied.
Uncle Larkspur shook his head, laughing lightly, “Unfortunately, I just had a full-body check-up a few days ago, and all my indicators were normal.”
I furrowed my brows, “Uncle Larkspur, I still suggest that you get your heart checked.”
At my words, Uncle Larkspur found it amusing, “I reckon there’s no need for that?”
“Uncle Larkspur, I’m serious.” I sounded somewhat anxious.
I could clearly see, at the position of Uncle Larkspur’s heart, there was an illusive patch of dark mist.
Although I was not sure what this dark mist meant, it was definitely not a good sign.
But at this time, Uncle Larkspur’s face began to turn sour.
“I understand young people’s eagerness to climb up the social ladder, but rashly showing off might have the opposite effect,” Uncle Larkspur with a warning tone.
If it weren’t for Sarah Anderson’s sake, Uncle Larkspur might have been furious by now.
“Young man, Mr.
Larkspur is the commander of the Crestwood Battle Zone, and the one in charge of his health checks is also a doctor from the battle zone, better not keep insisting,” someone said, trying to mediate the situation with a laugh.
I frowned, not knowing what to say for a moment.
“Sarah, you’re still young.
You need to be more careful about who you spend time with.” Uncle Larkspur alluded, intentional or not.
Sarah Anderson replied with a laugh, “I think, Uncle Larkspur, you should take Tyler’s advice seriously.”
This left Uncle Larkspur a bit embarrassed, but because of Sarah Anderson’s face, he did not lose his temper.
“Let’s drink, or the food will get cold.” Someone nearby picked up the wine glass and mediated.
The atmosphere at the venue was joyful and harmonious, but Uncle Larkspur’s face did not look too good.
Seeing this, I picked up my wine glass and proposed a toast, “Uncle Larkspur, perhaps I was mistaken.
I hope you don’t mind.”
Uncle Larkspur glanced at me, snorted, and then turned his head away.
My hand holding up the wine glass was embarrassingly left hanging.
Out of nowhere, I had to retract my hand.
“Don’t be upset.” Sarah Anderson leaned in towards me, laughing.
“To them, you are just an ordinary person.
They will respect you because of me, but that’s only on the surface.”
“If you want to earn their respect, then prove it to them,” Sarah Anderson suggested, her eyes blinking.
Meeting Sarah Anderson’s eyes, I felt as if no difficulty was worth mentioning!
I nodded strongly, “I will definitely prove to them that your choice wasn’t wrong!”
“I believe in you.” Sarah Anderson’s eyes were like water, I couldn’t help but be enchanted.
“Miss…
Miss Anderson…”
Just then, Randy Phillips and Elizabeth Wright came over with wine glasses.
Randy Phillips had absolutely no desire to bring this big embarrassment, Elizabeth Wright, over, but if she didn’t come to apologize, then the chance of being forgiven was almost zero!
Therefore, after Randy Phillips patiently explained the stakes, he faced the situation heads-on and walked over with Elizabeth Wright.
Looking at the two of them, Sarah Anderson’s face held a playful expression.
Randy Phillips was nervous, his hand trembling as it held the wine glass.
Because he was very aware that the woman in front of him could determine the fate of Phillips Family with a single word.
“Miss…
Miss Anderson, I was blind and offended you.
I hope you won’t stoop to my level…” Randy Phillips stuttered.
After saying this, he forcefully pulled Elizabeth Wright’s hand.
Although Elizabeth Wright was extremely unwilling, she still apologized, “Miss Anderson, right?
I have to warn you, what do you see in someone like Tyler Thomas?
He’s nothing but a hopeless loser, he can do nothing else but cook and do laundry every day!
Calling him ‘useless’ is simply praising him!”
