Amanda took a deep breath before looking to Nelson for help.
"Mr. Tucker…" she called out.
Although Nelson didn't know Sabrina well, he knew her stubbornness. She would never admit to something that wasn't her fault.
However, if she did not apologize and extend a hand that day, she would be seen as an enemy in the trading industry. If that were to happen, it could be difficult for her to continue doing business.
So, Nelson could only take the blame for Sabrina and resolve the matter.
"About this issue with Ms. Wyatt—" he began.
Sabrina pulled her hand away from Amanda, tossed her bag onto the chair, and sat down. She then tilted her head to look at Amanda.
"Are you not aware of what you did?"
Amanda's face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
Everyone in the room was an astute businessperson. They could tell from Amanda's expression that she was guilty. Otherwise, she would have defended herself already.
Sabrina turned to look at everyone, smiling brightly as she picked up her glass and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry for being late. Let me make it up to you with a drink."
They all laughed it off, saying it was nothing.
Nelson, on the other hand, sized his beautiful wife up. She was still wearing her usual outfit of a simple sweater and slacks.
Her long hair was tied back in a casual manner, revealing her elegant, slender neck. Sabrina had exquisite features, and her bright eyes radiated intelligence.
The matter had caused quite a stir. If this were to happen to anyone else, they would have been thrown off course.
Yet, Sabrina stayed focused on the main issue. With no unnecessary talk, she found Amanda's Achilles' heel and sorted everything out. She was truly smart and no doubt an asset.
"George has committed a crime that's punishable by three to ten years. I wouldn't dare lie about that, right, Nel?"
Nelson snapped out of his reverie.
"That's indeed the case."
Sabrina did not expect he would play along. So, she stayed for another ten minutes.
When she saw everyone trying to flatter Nelson, she quickly found an excuse to leave.
After exiting the private room, Sabrina headed to the hotel parking lot. There, she found Gerald smoking in his car, wearing a cap with a mask haphazardly hanging from one ear.
