Chapter 90: Bad Day for Tina
The sky started to rain. At that moment, the atmosphere at the party in the Emperor Hotel was lively as usual. The commotion earlier clearly had not affected the party. Tina looked like a princess, surrounded by people. Everyone approached her to leave a good impression.
Yet, most of the people did not interest her. Only a few distinguished guests were worthy of chatting with her.
“Miss, Mr. Williams and Mr. Chapman are here.” One of the butlers came up to her and reported.
Tina turned around and saw two fine–looking men who were standing quietly at the entrance of the party. One of them was Oliver from Boulderthorn! The other was Oliver’s senior, Troy Chapman. Behind the two of them were two bodyguards.
“Mr. Williams. Mr. Chapman. It’s good to see you again.” Tina immediately gave them a warm welcome with a smile.
“Happy birthday, Ms. Hummer.” Oliver and Troy presented their gifts respectively.
“Oh, please. It is my honor to have you both as my guests. There’s no need for presents. Tina grinned.
“It is only proper to reciprocate Joshua’s kindness. After all, he has always treated us well. A small token of appreciation is nothing.” Oliver smiled.
Had they come from an ordinary rich family, she wouldn’t have given them a second glance. However, Tina’s brother, Joshua, was a disciple of Boulderthorn. He was their senior. And so, it was necessary for her to attend to them.
“Oh right, why is my brother not here today?” Tina asked.
“Joshua is on a retreat at the moment. He’s unable to leave, so he sent us here to meet you.” Oliver explained.
“I see” Tina nodded and extended her hand. “Please have a seat, let me know if there’s anything you need.”
“Alright. Thank you, Ms. Hummer.” Oliver gave a slight nod before sitting down alongside Troy. Because of Tina’s warm attitude, the surrounding guests’ attention gathered around the two men.
“Who are they? Why did Tina personally welcome them?”
“I don’t know. They seem unfamiliar, I don’t think they’re from Swinton.”
“Then, perhaps they are someone important from Millsburg?” The sound of whispers rippled through the crowd as curiosity overlooks them.
As the evening wore on, more guests arrived at the party, and the atmosphere grew increasingly lively. At that moment, a black silhouette approached the entrance of the Emperor Hotel with an umbrella in hand.
After reaching the gate, he was stopped by two guards.
“Stop right there! Today is Ms. Hummer’s birthday. Only those who received an invitation are allowed to enter!”
“Step aside!” Dustin did not want to waste another second and immediately headed inside.
“Scoundrel! You’ve got some nerve!” The two guards immediately gripped Dustin’s shoulder.
The instant the two of them made contact with him, they were hurled backward with a force that sent them tumbling through the air, their cries of pain echoing through the night.
“Quick! Inform Sir Zims!” One of the guards immediately took out his phone and called for backup.
When he turned back, Dustin had already walked past the gates. After a short ride in the lift, he walked inside the ballroom. As he looked at the lively crowd, Dustin took a deep breath before shouting, “Which one of you is Tina Hummer?!”
His voice wasn’t piercing, yet it echoed across the room. The lively crowd instantly went silent. Everyone turned towards him with displeasing looks.
“Who dared to call Ms. Hummer by her name?!” Everyone wondered.
“Hm? Who’s calling me?” Tina stood up slowly with a displeased look in her eyes. Dustin silently walked forward as everyone stared down at him.
“Hey, isn’t that Dahlia’s ex–husband? Why is he here?”
“I’m guessing he’s probably here to apologize. After all, stealing from Ms. Hummer is not a small matter.”
“He’s apologizing after his woman got beaten up? How shameful!” People all around the room began to murmur amongst themselves as they pointed at the man. They were mostly mocking him.
“What? Are you here to apologize for that bitch? Tina’s eyes scanned the man from head to toe, her lips curling into a sinister smile as she sized him up. “If you’re really interested in helping your friend, you might want to start by getting down on your knees. And who knows, if I’m pleased, maybe I’ll consider letting her off the hook.”
“So, you were the one who caused Dahlia’s injuries?” Dustin slowly approached her.
Seconds later, he stood in front of her.
“So what if I was the one who caused her injuries? That bitch didn’t know her limits. A slut like her deserved a beating!”
Tina laughed coldly. “And let me tell you, this matter is far from over. Today was just a little warning. In the future, I’ll pay it back bit by bit! I will be her nightmare for the rest of her life”
As soon as the words left Tina’s lips, a sudden, sharp sound echoed through the room.
“Smack!”
Tina was sent flying across the room. Her body flipped through the air, twisting and turning in a blur of motion, before finally crashing down onto the ground with a sickening.
