Chapter 34: This is Too Embarrassing

Linda was taken aback, unable to wrap her head around the situation.

Wasn\'t the purpose of the visit to attend her coming-of-age ceremony?

Why did he notice Elizabeth before even seeking her out?

Lily, quicker to react, pulled Linda toward President Berney, intent on not letting Elizabeth get there first.

Before Linda could even process what was happening, she found herself standing between President Berney and Elizabeth.

For a moment, their eyes met.

Before Linda could speak, Peter\'s lips curled into a smile and he asked her distantly, "Who are you?"

Linda felt awkward and didn\'t know how to make a reaction.

Linda choked on her words, a sense of awkwardness rising within her.

Friends around them felt uncomfortable. How was this developing so differently from what they had expected?

Hadn\'t Linda mentioned meeting President Berney once before?

Quick to intervene, Lily spoke up, "President Berney, this is Linda. Today is her coming-of-age ceremony. Weren\'t you...?"

Peter chuckled and shook his head, "I apologize, I wasn\'t aware that tonight was her coming-of-age ceremony, so I didn\'t bring a gift."

"I was just passing by, and I recalled that the Wilson family has business ties with one of our subsidiaries, so I thought I\'d pay a visit."

He spoke eloquently and logically as if he truly was just passing by, rather than showing off.

The crowd around them was at a loss for words, awkwardly pondering the situation.

This relationship seemed a bit too distant.

With so many companies under Fortune Law Group, was he really making a personal visit just for this minor collaboration?

He seemed too dedicated!

Thinking back to the earlier excitement that Peter was interested in Linda, they suddenly felt their faces turn red as if they wanted to dig a hole and bury themselves.

How embarrassing!

They felt something was off. Why didn\'t Linda rebut when they were stirring the pot earlier?

Feeling her friends\' questioning glances, Linda bit her lip, her face full of humiliation and grievance.

It led everyone to think that President Berney was intentionally pretending not to recognize her.

But they still had their doubts. Who exactly was President Berney, and why would he engage in such childish acts?

Peter scrutinized Linda from head to toe, then realized his mistake, "I thought that the beautiful young lady over there was the true daughter of the Wilson family. She looks so much like Lady Wilson. I never thought you would be the real Miss Wilson. Looks can sometimes be misleading."

Linda couldn\'t manage to smile.

She suspected Peter was purposely mocking her as a fake, but she couldn\'t understand why. They had no grievances against each other. Why would he engage in wordplay with her?

She must have misunderstood him, but still, she was infuriated!

And with so many friends around, how could she bear it?

Elizabeth silently observed everything, not knowing what to say about Peter. What happened to the dominant CEO? Why was he acting like a troublemaker?

"By the way!"

Peter asked with a sly smile, "What were you talking about \'counterfeit goods\' just now?"

Lily immediately apologized, "I\'m sorry, President Berney. Elizabeth bought a counterfeit from your luxury brand "July" and wore it to the party. It\'s her fault, and we hope you won\'t blame the Wilson family for it."

The trouble caused by Elizabeth had nothing to do with the Wilsons.

Only then did Linda realize that the brand "July" was under the Fortune Law Group. Now they were caught red-handed.

Oh, this is going to be interesting.

"President Berney, it was my sister\'s fault. I apologize on her behalf."

Linda said, with her face full of worry and fear, "She\'s from the countryside and doesn\'t know the rules. I hope you can forgive her."

Peter chuckled inwardly. Modern young girls, always beating around the bush?

Then he thought about how Linda was Boss\'s younger sister by name.

His brows furrowed deeply, sensing that Elizabeth was probably not having a good time with the Wilson family, his face immediately darkened.

Seeing Peter\'s darkening expression, both Linda and Lily felt a quiet sense of triumph. Was he about to lose his temper?
