A Graduation Gift

Chapter 43 Obscene Video

The air suddenly seemed to freeze, and Lionel's face had turned grim. After Rufus finished his wine, he glimpsed at the couple in front of them casually, before turning to give Cassandra a reassuring grin.

Cassandra was touched. Warmth began to rise in her heart. As she gazed at the man who stood beside her, her eyes couldn't help but turn watery.

No one had ever protected her like Rufus. No matter how desperate the situation was, the man seemed to materialize out of nowhere to defend her. She felt so safe around him.

"Mr. Luo, it looks like you care a lot about your subordinates. How magnanimous of you,"

Ivy spoke ironically, breaking the awkward silence among them, while casting a meaningful glance at both Cassandra and Rufus.

"Rufus, you've gone too far!"

Lionel said out loud, unable to keep calm any longer. This man had, once again, shown too much concern for his wife. Not once, not twice, but many times now. Though who else could he blame, except for himself? It was he who had always pushed his own wife away.

"Well... She already stated that she couldn't drink. Why was it so important for you to press her into submission, just because you're her superior?"

Rufus questioned, his voice dripping with contempt. To him, Lionel's actions were simply childish and naive. He already brought his lover along to publicly humiliate Cassandra. Now, he was even trying to get her drunk. It pissed Rufus off completely.

The words rendered Lionel speechless. How could he argue with that? He fumed silently, unable to get another word out. All he could do was to glare at his wife fiercely.

When he found nothing to say, Ivy pounced on the opportunity. "Mr. Luo, do you have some sort of affection for Manager Qin? Is that why you are protecting her? I wouldn't find it surprising. Manager Qin is young and beautiful. It's quite natural for you to fall for her, isn't it?"

Ivy thought she was being clever, but she was only adding fuel to the fire. Lionel's entire body became tense at her words. He wondered how Rufus would respond to what she said.
