Chapter 33: The Mastermind
Coster looked at Drizzt and suddenly sighed. “Mr. Drizzt, I know you don’t have a good impression of me, but I admire you for being a capable person.”
“Oh?” Drizzt’s ears twitched slightly as he waited for Coster to continue.
Coster saw Catherine’s expression and his heart skipped a beat, knowing that he still had a chance.
He swept his gaze over the crowd, his eyes lingering on Catherine, Moanke, and even Drizzt’s face.
In the end, he said with a resolute tone, “As everyone knows, I was a Ying’s lackey. No matter how much I know, I had no choice but to hide it from everyone for Ying. But now, since Ying is unkind to me, I am pushed to a corner, I will bite back at my master.”
“Mr. Drizzt, there is something you may not know; Catherine, isn’t as innocent as she appears to be.”
Coster was suddenly agitated.
He pointed at Catherine’s nose. “I didn’t kidnap her. It was her who ran away with a man. They were in a cheap hostel, they…”
He pointed at Catherine, who was in the middle of the stage and said, “Tell me, did you sleep with that man to escape from the marriage? Tell me!”
“What?”
Boom.
All the guests were in an uproar.
Whatever happened to the young lady of Ying Corporation was just a minor matter. It was just the business of Ying Corporation.
However, the information that was revealed by Coster was really fatal.
Because as long as Catherine cuckolded the heir of Heavenly Punishment, then this matter would be serious.
As New York’s most influential corporation, it would be the biggest humiliation for the heir of Heavenly Punishment were to marry such a woman.
It was mainly because a woman had gone missing with another man for so long. No one would believe that nothing had happened.
When Drizzt heard this, he was also shocked.
For some reason, he suddenly felt jealous.
If what this lackey said was true, then this beautiful woman who appeared pure and innocent was slept by another man before she joined Heavenly Punishment?
Which man dared to take things from them?
At this time, he also knew the seriousness of the problem.
This matter was no longer just concerning Ying, but also Heavenly Punishment’s reputation.
“Do you know what you’re talking about?”
Drizzt’s expression looked a little gloomy and scary in the light.
With his back facing Moanke, he faintly asked Coster under the spotlight.
Moanke was shocked, turning around and looking at his granddaughter in disbelief.
“Catherine… you, you, did you…”
Behind Catherine was a white peony that symbolized purity and nobility. She looked at her grandfather and shook her slowly.
Moanke saw his granddaughter had gotten skinnier over the past few months.
His heart ached as if he had found a conscience.
“Really? My dear granddaughter. You don’t believe in me, but I am willing to believe in you just this once.”
Moanke didn’t say further. He already decided.
Although he felt tired enough today, he tried to straighten his back.
The revelation of today was shocking enough for everyone at the scene.
All eyes were on Coster.
They saw Coster nod at Drizzt. “Mr. Drizzt, when Catherine escaped, not only did I see it, but all my men around me also saw it. They followed me all the way to the cheap guest house and the shabby, smelly, and disgusting room. Was it not?”
He spun his head and asked the security guards of Ying.
The group of security guards who had blocked the door initially just wanted to rubberneck, but they suddenly were put in the spotlight as witnesses.
“Yes, I saw it. Miss Catherine left in that man’s car.”
“Yes, I was there too. That man almost hit Coster. And before he drove away, he even…” one of the security guards said in a softer voice.
“Speak!” Drizzt shouted.
The security guard hurriedly said loudly, “That man hugged the young lady in his arms under everyone’s watchful eyes!”
“Hiss…”
A series of gasping sounds rose among the crowd.
“I never thought that the ice beauty Catherine would be such a woman…”
“Oh my God, could it be that everyone has really misunderstood the loyal Coster?”
Coster closed his eyes and slowly removed the blade in his hand from his neck.
It seemed that he had been hurt by Ying and couldn’t bear it any longer.
He seemed to have lost all his strength. The tip of the knife in his hand drooped down and he couldn’t stand steadily. “The man who has tarnished Ying and Heavenly Punishment’s reputation is among us today.”
“Who is it?”
“If I were that person, I would have run as far away as possible.”
After saying this, the tip of the knife that had slid down halfway suddenly turned and pointed directly at Kota, who was leisurely watching the show in the back row of the banquet hall.
“It’s him!”
In unison, countless pairs of eyes at the scene immediately focused on Kota.
At this moment, people realized that the person Coster was talking about was the man who had just clapped with Drizzt.
Of course, the person who was more shocked than everyone at the scene was Sikal, who had not shown up and was at the back of the stage.
Her beautiful big eyes stared fixedly at Kota’s handsome face.
“He, he…”
“Could it be, could it be that he really…”
For a moment, Sikal felt terrible.
Because everything that had happened last night was still vivid in her mind. She could not accept everything that was happening before her eyes.
Under Sikal’s watchful eyes, Coster pointed at Kota with a knife, but there was not the slightest anger on his face.
He even seemed to find it a little funny.
“Is this guy crazy? Doesn’t he know how serious the situation is now?”
Sikal muttered to herself.
Kota faced everyone’s gaze and gently scattered the remaining nut skin on the table.
He patted the remaining skin off his hands and said with a smile, “I thought the young master of Heavenly Punishment could handle Coster. I just didn’t expect that I would have to do it myself.”
He clearly did not have a microphone in hands, but everyone clearly heard his voice.
Coster frowned.
This man knew his identity, but he did not have any fear. Could it be that he had some kind of background?
But that was not right. He had no impression at all.
At the same time, Catherine immediately heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Kota.
She felt as though she could not hold on anymore after holding on for so long. It was fortunate that she saw him.
Otherwise, she really did not know how to continue.
Drizzt raised his eyebrows and looked at Kota carefully once again. “Who are you?”
Unexpectedly, Kota merely glanced at him and replied indifferently, “It’s not your turn yet. Be quiet.”
Drizzt, Moanke, and Catherine were shocked.
Who was he that he was so arrogant?
He ordered the man from Heavenly Punishment to keep quiet?
Did he find them annoying?
