Love At The Right Price Chapter 49

Chapter 49

“What’s wrong?” Tamara touched her hair. “Am I not beautiful?”

“With a gorgeous wife by my side, I will become the enemy of all men tonight. There will be many people who will try to strike a conversation with you,” he muttered.

She blushed at that. “You should be glad that you are lucky enough to have such a stunning partner at the banquet.”

Frank chivalrously extended his hand to her, gesturing at her to hook her arm through his. “It’s a great honor to be able to stand beside you, my queen.” There was a slight curve at the corner of his lips on his handsome face.

At the entrance of the charity banquet, many reporters crowded both sides of the red carpet. The cameras in their hands kept flashing as they chattered among themselves quietly.

“Have you heard about the news? It’s rumored that Lily Hardy from the Hardy Group is being held in the detention center. She can’t even attend the auction today. I wonder who she offended.”

“That’s old news. I heard that she offended the new person-in-charge of the Colt Enterprise. Nobody knows who in the world this person is. This person’surely is powerful.”

The reporters continued to gossip with each other.

When Tamara slowly walked into the hall holding onto Frank’s arm, the charity banquet had yet to begin and the guests were still chatting among themselves in small groups.

As soon as the duo stepped into the hall, the good-looking couple instantly became the center of attention.

The man was dressed in formal suit and he had a hand shoved in his pocket as he slowly entered the hall holding the woman’s arm. The moment he showed up, he emanated a strong, intimidating presence-it was a presence that only belonged to those who had been in a high position and status for a long time.

With his tall build, he cast a simple glance at the crowd that revealed his arrogant demeanor and made him seem condescending in character, novelbin

The man instantly attracted the gaze of many. Some of them even whispered among themselves as they tried to guess his identity.

Shirley, who was surrounded by a large crowd, was having a great time chatting with the people around her when from the corner of her eye, she happened to notice the couple who was walking into the hall. Her expression instantly fell and she headed toward Frank.

“Tamara, I didn’t expect that you would show up here. I’m assuming you came in together with Frank? You’re really shameless.” Shirley snorted and chuckled coldly.

To Shirley, Tamara was nothing but someone who deliberately approached Frank because she coveted his power and wealth. As for the boy, he might even be another man’s offspring.

“It’s you.” Tamara appraised Shirley from head to toe. Then, the former shook her head and said to Frank as she completely ignored the other woman, “Let’s head inside. The auction is about to start. Let’s not waste our time on insignificant people.”

“Insignificant people?” Shirley growled through gritted teeth. Just as she was about to step forward to reason with Tamara, she was stopped by Frank. “Miss Goldie, please show some respect.”

With that, he turned around and walked in Tamara’s direction.

“Tamara Randall, just you wait!” Shirley clenched her fists, her chest heaving when she breathed.

Frank looked back at Shirley with a freezing gaze that made her shudder involuntarily. Who is she to have the guts to threaten my woman?

Seeing that Shirley had averted her gaze, Frank retracted his gaze and continued to look at Tamara, who was moving forward while holding his hand. His gaze was gentle.

Meanwhile, the discussion among the crowd grew louder, so Harold naturally took notice of Frank. The corner of his lips twitched at the sight of the man. No wonder I was suddenly told that I have to replace the other person to attend the banquet. It turns out that he’s afraid that the other person from Cloud Industries would expose his identity.

He ruined my plan of having a date with a pretty lady tonight and spending a romantic night together with her!

Frank, who seemed to notice a gaze on him, glanced in that direction, causing Harold to immediately straighten up and wave at him with a smile.

Tamara saw that scene and she asked, “Is that Harold?”

“Yes.” Frank nodded.

However, she was puzzled. “He’s your superior, but why does it seem as though he’s afraid of you?”

“Maybe it’s because I had always hit him when we were little,” Frank responded.

Tamara, on the other hand, didn’t press on. She merely found herself a seat and sat down.
