Linda, who had her arm around Daniel just a moment ago, was left dumbfounded.
After a few seconds, she asked in a sharp voice," Daniel, didn't you say that you were going to help me confront this liar, this blackmailer? What are you trying to do now?! Don’t tell me that you've been seduced by this girl!"
Daniel turned around to look at Linda and retorted incredulously, "Miss Linda, if this liar you were talking about is my good friend, saviour and mentor Sabrina, then I will have no choice but to beat you up!"
After saying that he immediately raised his fist at her.
Linda took a few steps back in terror. She stammered a t the fierce looking man in front of her, "Daniel, what are you talking about? What do you mean by that? Are you really talking about this, this prisoner, blackmailer and deceitful woman?"
"You are not allowed to insult Sabrina!" Daniel shouted at her viciously.
Linda, along with every other attendee could only look on with their jaws wide open.
The Poole sisters turned to each other with a worried expression, while Mindy, who was sitting on the side, looked dumbfounded as well.
What was going on?
Did this handsome foreign guy really just address Sabrina as his good friend, lifesaver and even mentor?
After coming to her senses, Linda finally reacted. She asked with a trembling voice, "Daniel, you are a world-renowned avant-garde architect. Yet you said that... Sabrina is your mentor. How can that be possible? I've never heard you mention it, not once."
As he was hugging Sabrina with one arm, Daniel shot Linda a disdainful look and sneered at her, "Even after discussing architecture with you for the past few years, I have yet to see any progress in your designs. However, when I saw how creative and fresh the plans that you uploaded to your personal social media page were, it reminded me of my mentor's style. That’s the only reason why I came to your company today.
