Chapter 374 Is She Young and Timid?
With a cane in hand, Marlowe appeared in front of everyone in a suit. As a highly respected figure in upper-class circles, Marlowe came to show his support for Zayla. The representatives present didn’t dare to say anything else. Moreover, Marlowe, who had always been gentle, was furious when he entered the hall. From this, it could be seen how much he protected Zayla! Marlowe walked up step by step and looked at the representative, scolding angrily. People never can choose the family they are born into!”
“If the background really counts in this place, then it would be a competition of pure luck!” “In my opinion, if you like to judge a person from their family background, you may never be able to defeat her in any aspect!” The representative who had just been arrogant and sneaky to Zayla couldn’t say a word now. He quickly lowered his head and repeatedly apologized, “I’m so sorry, Mr. Gladstone. I’m just limited in my ability to express myself, and I was too blunt. In fact, I didn’t mean any harm. I was just…” Marlowe sneered and cut him off bluntly. “No harm? You’re lying to my face! Do you think I am too old to see the truth?”
“I heard you speaking with your narrow-minded thinking and limited vocabulary to insult a hardworking and diligent girl who has come this far by her ability. You were trying your best to hurt her with your malice!” “Which company are you from? Why did your company send a person who even has problems expressing himself to attend the important election of the president?”
“Does your company look down on Lydon, the old president, or the entire Houston Chamber of Commerce?” Marlowe’s words put that person in a more difficult situation. Marlowe didn’t give the representative a chance to speak.
The representatives present also understood that Marlowe’s angry attack meant that he was completely on Zayla’s side! Lydon had already walked to Marlowe’s side, supporting him and
persuading him to calm down.
With a smile, Lydon tried to make peace, saying respectfully, “Mr. Gladstone, why didn’t you tell me that you would come? I could have waited outside to greet you.” When Lydon’s family was on the verge of bankruptcy in the early years, Marlowe gave Lydon’s family three antiques to sell for funds. Since then, Lydon had been respectful to Marlowe all the time. The respectful behavior of this former president made the representatives at the scene feel even more nervous. As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Lydon had a wide network of contacts.
And his teacher was Marlowe, whose status in upper-class circles could not be underestimated, and Marlowe was protective of Zayla! At this moment, the representatives who were previously neutral or observing would lean towards Zayla!
Thanks to Marlowe’s appearance and the teacher-and-student relationship between Lydon and Marlowe, Zayla, who had only a 20% chance of winning, suddenly rose to more than 50% in a conservative estimate!
“I wasn’t planning on coming, but I worried my Zayla would be bullied. I take her as my granddaughter, and I can’t let her be hurt. After all, she’s young and timid. Look at her… she’s almost in tears!” Mr. Gladstone took Zayla as his granddaughter! Marlowe’s words shocked everyone in the scene. After all, Marlowe didn’t have any children. Although he had a lot of disciples and students, he had never treated anyone like this before.
It had been decades; now, Marlowe suddenly said he treated Zayla as his granddaughter!
But the latter half of Marlowe’s speech was also unbelievable! They agreed that Zayla was young, but she was definitely not timid and about to cry.
Zayla was full of courage just a moment ago, and she was definitely showing “Don’t mess with me” with her behavior. But in the words of Marlowe, Zayla was timid and was about to cry in fear. Lydon helped Marlowe sit in his seat, and he sat in the newly added seat. The entire audience was silent.
With Marlowe standing behind her, who would dare to offend Zayla?
Following that, the other representatives asked their questions cautiously, afraid they might accidentally offend Zayla. Otherwise, they would suffer not only Zayla’s attack but also Marlowe’s. This was not a profitable deal and totally not worth it. At this time, outside the hall, inside a motorhome.
