All of a sudden, everyone looked in that direction.

Colton felt his scalp numb. Tonight's events were completely out of his control. He would neverhave thought that his daughter, who had been so docile since she was a child and only occasionallydressed up as a man to hang out outside, would be so rebellious and disobedient.

Tonight was the engagement party for the Knights and the Gablehausers, and so many respectable,powerful people from the upper class were here. But they actually made such a scene. This was sohumiliating! He could imagine how bad the Knights 's reputation would be after tonight, and howdeep their feud with the Knights would be.

If he had known this would happen tonight, he would hope that he had never proposed thismarriage.

Of course, there was also a method to save the reputation of the Knights . To do that, his daughter'sso-called boyfriend should be a big shot with a powerful background, and he should be muchnobler than Martin. Only in this way could the face of the Knights be saved.

But was this possible? It was not!

It was simple. But if his daughter's boyfriend was really a big shot, how could he be so low-key?How could he tolerate his woman getting engaged to other men? Nonsense.

So at this moment, Colton was in a really bad mood. He had never been in such a bad mood before.Blaze's face had turned livid and extremely bad. Anyone could tell that he was on the verge ofcollapse and would explode at any moment. That was reasonable. Blaze could be called a verypowerful person in this city. He was so humiliated, but he didn't lose his temper on the spot. It couldbe said that he had a good temper!

Martin had a creepy smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to emit a dim fire, which was very scary.As Kaylie finished speaking, the room was silent, and no one made a sound. They were all waitingfor Kaylie to say who her mysterious boyfriend was.

However, after five seconds of Kaylie's words, there was still no response, and the venue was stilleerily quiet.

"Eh? What happened? Where's Kaylie's boyfriend? He didn't show up.”

"Yes. Did he run away already?"

"I think it's possible. Some people are at daggers drawn. How dare he show up? He will be eatenalive by the Gablehausers.”

"Kaylie has been deceived. Why didn't she just marry Martin? I don't know why she got a boyfriendoutside."

"It's said that beautiful women are not very intelligent. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.”"This is interesting. From now on, the two families will definitely have a grudge..."

Such comments could be heard everywhere and reached Kaylie's ears, making her feel particularlyuncomfortable. Her nose grew sorer and sorer, and her eyes turned red.

At this moment, she felt an unprecedented grievance and really wanted to cry, but she held it back.She began to accept the fact that Tom had really abandoned her and left. In the end, she lost andbecame a joke.

The change of her expression was noticed by Martin. He immediately smiled gloatingly andaggressively. "What? Your boyfriend left and didn't dare to come out?"

Kaylie bit her lips and did not speak.

Just then, a voice sounded from the crowd. "Who said I had left?"

The voice was so sudden. It was not very loud, but it was powerful. It resounded throughout theroom and everyone heard it.

Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to where the voice came and saw a man in a suit, with a buttonundone, without a tie, looking especially unrestrained and cool. His hair wasn't specially styled likethe others. He didn't look handsome, but he was very charming in a special way.

It was Tom!

When Malcolm, who was beside him, heard him speak, he was confused and surprised. He neverthought that Kaylie's boyfriend was him!

When Kaylie heard this familiar voice, her expression immediately froze. She immediately lookedover and saw Tom. The tears she had been holding back finally flowed down her face. She was veryexcited and touched!

She thought she was in a desperate situation, but she saw the light in a corner in the end.

Tom didn't give up on her and was still here. That was great!

Martin also saw Tom, and his expression was extremely funny. A cold light appeared in his eyes."Tom, it's you?!" He screamed out, being ill-mannered.

He couldn't help it. Just two days ago, he almost died in Tom's hands. His hatred for Tom was deepin his bones!

When Blaze heard his son's scream, he immediately came to his senses and stared at Tom, clenchinghis fists in hatred and ferocity.

At the same time, in the crowd, Rory also stood up abruptly, and the glass in his hand fell to theground with a bang.

His reaction was too big, but after two seconds, he slapped himself in the face. How could he haveforgotten about it! He had seen Tom and Kaylie together the last time!

Martin who reacted the same also had forgotten about it.

However, it was one thing to see Kaylie and Tom having dinner together in private, and it wasdifferent for them to be at tonight's party. Tom wanted to grab his wife! How dare him?

Under everyone's gaze, Tom walked out of the crowd, went up to the stage, stood in front of Kaylie,took out a tissue, gently wiped away the tears on her face, and said with a smile, "Why are youcrying? I'm here.”

Kaylie pursed her lips and then bit them. She felt aggrieved and happy. She pinched Tom's arm hardand said coquettishly, “Where did you go just now? I had to call you before you came out. I hateyou!"

Tom smiled and did not say anything. Then he greeted Colton and Laylani. He looked polite.

Since he had promised to be Kaylie's excuse, he had to stick to the end. He had to have ethics andbe professional.

Colton did not respond. He stared at Tom with a sullen, angry face.

So was Laylani.

In their eyes, Tom was not as outstanding as Martin at all! He was just an ordinary person, and hisshirt was unbuttoned, which made him look very indecent.

Kaylie held Tom's arm intimately and smiled sweetly and happily. She said to Colton and Laylani,"Dad, mom, this is my boyfriend, Tom. Now that you know him, don’t ask me to marry Martinanymore. I don't like him at all."
