Sam Noah waved his hand to the approaching security and said, “Since he has an invitation, he is a guest of Sam Group. It seems there is some misunderstanding here, Ava.”
There is a misunderstanding? She didn’t believe that someone like Oscar had any relatives working at Sam Group.
She couldn’t let Oscar stay here; she couldn’t let anyone know she had once been involved with him.
Ava then said, “Even if this gentleman is invited to the banquet, he is harassing me like this. I ask Mr. Sam to help uphold justice.”
“I’m harassing you?” As soon as Oscar heard this, he felt displeased. With so many people watching, to say he was harassing her—did he have no pride? “How can you, a woman, turn your back on someone so easily? Think about how much money I spent on you when we were together a few years ago?”
Ava truly felt this person was shameless. Back then, she was young and naive, deceived by this thug posing as a rich second generation. The things he bought for her? She had the nerve to say that aside from the first few items being genuine, weren’t all the bags and jewelry he bought her fakes? She originally thought she had snagged a wealthy benefactor, only to later realize this person was not a rich second generation at all, but just a thug from Brackenfield, engaging in petty crimes!
At that time, she was young and foolish, blinded by her own ignorance. It was only after being deceived for both money and affection that she came to understand that in this world, one cannot rely on anyone but oneself.
Oscar was a significant blemish in her past. Now that her career was flourishing and she had secured a new product endorsement with Sam Group, she didn’t want this person to become a stain during her rise.
“Mr. Sam, I really don’t know this person. Mr. Sam is the president of Sam Group and the host of this banquet. Could you please mediate and advise this gentleman not to harass me? Otherwise, I will have no choice but to call the police.”
Ava spoke with righteous indignation, and those who were unaware thought Oscar was indeed a lecherous scoundrel.
Before Sam Noah could speak, Susan waved at the security guards and said, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and throw this perverted man out!” She was completely unreserved, as if she were summoning her own security.
However, the security guards remained unmoved by her command. Susan felt a bit embarrassed after being ignored, but thinking that this was someone else’s place, she forced a smile and turned to Sam Noah, saying, “Mr. Sam, look…”
Sam Noah then said, “Please escort this gentleman out. After all, Miss Ava is our new product spokesperson, and it wouldn’t be good for her to be frightened.”
Upon hearing this, Ava finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Two security guards stepped forward to grab Oscar and drag him out. Oscar felt extremely humiliated. He knew his fellow townsman must be nearby, and if he saw him being dragged out as a perverted man, how could he face him? How could he return to his hometown and boast?
Although Oscar was somewhat of a nobody, his subordinates still called him “Brother Oscar.” While he was far from the upper class, he still cared about his reputation.
So Oscar immediately became furious. This damn girl had no regard for their past relationship. After all these years, he hadn’t sought her out or exposed her dark secrets, thinking he had been generous enough. Yet, she turned her back on him so ruthlessly! He shook off the two security guards. There was a table at the front of the banquet, and in a fit of rage, he strode up to it. The more he looked at Ava, the more he found her detestable. She wanted to embarrass him, right? Fine, he would return the favor.
“Miss Ava, being a star has gone to your head, hasn’t it? Pretending not to know me? You even think of me as a perverted man?” Oscar pulled out his phone from his bag and opened the album in front of everyone. “There are quite a few media friends here today; come and take a look, see what the pure and sweet Liang the star looks like when she gets wild!”
The reporters around, sensing a scoop, rushed forward, and the people at the banquet turned their attention to Oscar on the stage.
