Chapter 700
Mia was hiding not far away, hesitating to approach.
Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder. Mia screamed in fright, her face pale.
At the sound, everyone’s attention was drawn to Mia.
Feeling utterly embarrassed, Mia immediately turned to the person who had startled her. It was Evelyn.
There was a man with Evelyn, fairly handsome and youthful. His looks were above average but not strikingly
handsome.
“Evelyn, you scared the hell out of me.”
“What are you doing here?”
Evelyn’s gaze drifted to Penny in the distance. She stiffened and instinctively looked at the man beside her.
That man was Murray.
Seeing that Murray hadn’t noticed Penny, Evelyn let out a sigh of relief.
Elsewhere, Sharon continued to mock Maja.
“Did I meet you somewhere before?”
Maja stiffened. She did find Sharon familiar but couldn’t remember where they had met.
Until Sharon spoke.
“At the Academy of Fine Arts of Solstice College’s party a few years back, the Haskins family was invited as
investors. A student ran out from backstage in a rush. Was that you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaja felt as if her heart was being squeezed tightly.
Back then, the Academy of Fine Arts of Solstice College had several investors, one of whom was Daniel.
And Maja, for her excellent grades and pretty face, was assigned to present flowers to these investors. At that time,
Daniel told her he had forgotten something and asked her to fetch it.
Maja really followed Daniel backstage, and Daniel came straight at her.
Scared, Maja struggled and ran out of the crowded auditorium in embarrassment.
Everyone thought she had just tripped. But those investors were shrewd people, and they might have noticed what
happened backstage.
Suddenly, Sharon realized, “I remember now, you were the student who hooked up with a man backstage even
during the party!”
Sharon smirked, her mouth curling up.
“I wondered why you looked familiar. You haven’t changed, did you still relying on men? Seems like the man you
were with that night didn’t give you much money. Did you get caught by his wife? Is that why you look so awkward
now?”
The graduation ceremony was a sore spot for Maja, and now Sharon was relentlessly attacking her.
Maja remained silent, and Sharon seemed all the more exhilarated.
“Speechless? Who gives you the right to offend the Haskins family?”
Maja turned her head to look at the painting on the wall, ignoring Sharon.
Sharon, feeling triumphant, was suddenly taken aback by Maja’s calm demeanor, feeling like a clown putting on a
wild performance.
So, she lifted her hand, without any hesitation, grabbed a glass of wine, and splashed it towards Maja.
A large pillar blocked the view, so nobody around noticed.
Just as Sharon was about to mock Maja’s awkwardness, a glass of red wine splashed all over her.
Maja wanted to just let it slide, and she really couldn’t afford to offend the Haskins family.
But Sharon clearly didn’t want to let it go so easily.
Since lan was willing to help her solve this problem, what’s the harm in offending Sharon?
Whatever she did tonight, she had already offended the Haskins family.
“Mrs. Sharon, since you love splashing wine on people, why don’t you taste it yourself? And about Mia’s photo, if I’m
not in a good mood, I might just share it with others. Let’s see if the Haskins family can handle the scandal.”
Sharon’s face was covered in red wine, which was still dripping down her cheeks.
It was quite a scene here. Initially, no one noticed them, but due to the wine splashing, people around quickly
turned their attention.
Sharon had never been humiliated like this, and she stared at Maja in disbelief.
“Bang!”
Sharon smashed the wine glass in her hand.
“I won’t let you off today. Security, kick her out!”

The Haskins family had a huge influence in Greenfield. As soon as Sharon gave the order, the security guards
rushed over.
Just as they were about to make a move, a cold male voice rang out.
“What kind of trouble did you get into while I was gone?”
The crowd parted a small path for him. Ian was standing not far away, slowly approaching.
He stood next to Maja, took out a handkerchief, and roughly wiped her face.
Then, lan looked at Sharon and smiled, “What did Penny do to offend you?”
Sharon took a step back.
Fitch hadn’t told her that lan was really interested in this designer. Otherwise he wouldn’t have stood up for Penny
in front of so many people.
“lan, what’s your relationship with Ms. Penny?”
Sharon opened her mouth, and now she was back to her senses.
lan’s smile faded a lot, “I don’t think I need to report my private matters to you, do I?”
People around were initially listening as if it was some juicy gossip, but seeing lan’s reaction, he clearly didn’t want
to say more.
Standing next to lan, Maja was wiping the wine off her neck with a handkerchief.
But one handkerchief was obviously not enough. Sharon had splashed a whole glass of wine on her.
Turning her head, Maja saw another exquisite handkerchief in front of her. Looking up at the hand holding the
handkerchief, she saw a man wearing a mask.
People around didn’t know who this man was, but everyone who could come here must have been invited.
