Reina had blatantly insulted Benjamin and Starlyn.
Everyone took in the turns of events in amusement.
They thought things were interesting as the two women fought for Benjamin's affection.
Benjamin suddenly looked at Donald. “I suppose you are the Campbell clan's outcast, Donald? Ten years ago, you were chased out of the Campbell clan and became the entire world's laughingstock. Now you're just a security guard. I wonder, what's your current relationship with Reina?”
Reina piped up haughtily, “He's the most important person in my life. Will that do?”
Everybody could sense her overflowing confidence and admiration when she uttered those words.
Those were emotions that could not be faked. Reina had truly felt those genuine sentiments in the deepest part of her heart.
That had undoubtedly proven Donald's utmost significance to her. “Donald is very important to me. I was young and immature, thinking that Benjamin was my soulmate. However, from the moment I'd known Donald, I realized I was wrong. Donald is thoughtful, generous, and mature. He's way better than a certain someone!" Reina turned her face sideways to gaze at Donald tenderly.
She grew more agitated as she spoke and ended up grasping Donald's hand.
Benjamin snorted in disdain. “He's a mere security guard, yet you think so highly of him?”
Reina said, “So what if he's a security guard? I think he's much better than someone pretentious and insidious, don't you agree?”
Starlyn became impatient all of a sudden. She chimed in indifferently, “That's enough. Let me ask you, Reina, do you genuinely intend to discuss business matters today?”
Of course,” Reina replied.
Starlyn tucked her loose strands of hair beside her ears. “I am indeed in charge of Pollerton Heavy Machinery Industry. I'll make myself clear. I will not provide you with the construction equipment you ordered, and I'll pay the penalty for breaching the contract. Nigel and I manage Shawsby Mountain together, so I will not hand it over too. The only reason I'm doing all these is that I don't like you. How dare a commoner like you think you can surpass the Anderson family's three generations' hard work with only ten years of effort?”
She paused briefly before continuing, “You are not qualified!”
