Fan Husband 204

“What are you hitting for? We just got back to the country, 

haven’t even had our reunion dinner yet, and you want 

Reginald to lie in bed and not get up?” Denise was so worried, 

standing in front of Reginald to protect him. 

Seeing Reginald’s refusal to compromise, Byron also didn’t give 

1. up. 

“Come here! Get the whip!” 

Soon, Byron’s family matters spread to Nyasia’s ears. 

She was stunned, “How did it come to using corporal 

punishment?” She just wanted her eldest son to teach her 

youngest son a lesson, not to resort to physical punishment. 

Watching her husband leisurely cutting his flowers, Nyasia’s blood pressure almost went up. “Are you still cutting? Is the 

flowers more important than your son? Go talk to him quickly!” 

Marques Thorton sighed, “Blame yourself for calling Byron to complain. He came back early just to teach Reginald a lesson.” 

“I…,” Nyasia blushed, “wasn’t it all for Reginald’s big life event?” 

“You just keep stirring things up, stirring until the brothers turn

against each other, stirring until the second brother runs away 

and never comes back, then you’ll be happy!” 

“…….. 

At night, Dream Restaurant. 

After the initial screening, there were a total of forty–eight 

contestants left. Adelaide and Jorge arrived here and found the 

huge banquet hall already packed with people.

According to the seating arrangement, they sat at the table on 

the right side of the main table. It’s not just Adelaide’s excellent 

performance in the initial screening, but also they represented 

Orvenix Group, so of course they were treated well. 

As soon as she sat down, a lot of people were staring at Adelaide 

and whispering. 

After all, she went viral online a couple of days ago. 

The man sitting on the right side of Adelaide picked up his glass 

with a smile and said, “Ms. Pierce, I’ve heard so much about you. 

Care for a drink?” 

The man’s gaze wasn’t friendly, but Adelaide pretended not to 

notice, and clinked glasses with him. “Thanks.”

Took a sip, but the man didn’t drink, instead he started a 

conversation. “When news spread that Ms. Pierce joined Orvenix Group, the industry was buzzing for a long time. We were all curious how Ms. Pierce, as a newcomer, managed to catch Mr. Thorton’s attention.” 

He was picking faults right from the start. 

Adelaide was fearless and said, “What is it?” 

The man chuckled with a hint of sarcasm, pretended to think 

for a few seconds, and solemnly replied, “It must be Ms. Pierce’s 

thick skin.” 

After hearing this, the closest few people burst out laughing. 

The man was busy explaining, “Ms. Pierce, don’t get me wrong, when I said ‘thick–skinned, I meant it as a compliment.” 

Jorge was about to get angry, but Adelaide held his arm and said 

with a smile, “Oh? What’s up?” 

The man, chin up, totally ignoring Adelaide, said, “Let me give 

you an example, Ms. Pierce eloped with Mr. Barnard just a few 

days ago, causing a big stir, and today she’s sitting here at the 

event as if nothing happened. We all should learn from this 

shameless attitude.” 

“After all, in our line of work, getting rejected, criticized, or 

having our ideas stolen is common. If you don’t have a thick 

Chapter304 

skin, how can you survive? Don’t you agree, Ms. Pierce?” 

It involved two things about her in one go. 

Others laughed even harder. 

In their eyes, Adelaide was a newcomer, and she got ahead by 

her looks. 

How could he possibly catch Reginald’s eye?
